1st time eating at Sea Smoke and had a great experience! Got there before our reservation time and sat at the bar. Bartenders were super friendly and the cocktails were really tasty!
We then sat down to order. The waiter was so friendly and despite being very busy, gave us ample time to talk and order. We ordered a few appetizers, all were delicious and the main course didnt disappoint either! 10/10 experience!

Recently went to Sea Smoke for the first time. Modern fine dining in a “sea” like atmosphere. Absolutely love the decor- it really sets a romantic, elegant vibe.
I went with a bunch of friends, we shared a few appetizers. Burrata skillet, crispy oysters, tuna tartare and ricotta bread. We all loved everything. My favorite was the ricotta bread.
For my entree, I took the waitresses recommendation and ordered the sea bass. It was a great portion and nicely seasoned. I would definitely order again.
The service was friendly. They checked in on us but never felt like we were being rushed.
Two of us stayed after to have a drink at the bar. Shout out to the bartender Terry. He was great. Personable and knowledgeable.

So happy to have found such a beautifully designed restaurant in Albany! As a seafood lover, I truly enjoyed every dish here. The food was fresh and delicious — especially the Garlic Butter Clams in White Wine Sauce, which were aromatic, tender, and memorable. While the service was average, the overall experience was still enjoyable and definitely worth a try.

Mixed Review. The food was really good. We shared the PEI Oysters. They were excellent. The tuna tartare appetizer was superb. The burger was probably the best I’ve had. The caramelized onions added to the flavor. It was done perfect. The fries that came with it with nothing special. The side of mash potatoes was so creamy and yummy. The shrimp appetizer with the bread was only ok. A personal taste. I did not like the sauce but shrimp was cooked and great. He is the not so good. We wanted to hit the happy hour at the bar. Both the inside and outside bars were full so we were seated. Later to find out we could have been seated at a bar table. We sat around the tree – a bench seat and a chair. The chairs are not tall enough for the table. The bench seat was higher. I had to lift my arms to put them on table. I am of average height and weight and found it very uncomfortable. Our waitress was great but the bar tender seemed off. We had to send back 2 drinks. I also had to get up and go ask for extra silverware. There was a bit of confusion btwn waitress and bus person. Disappointed we could not get food off happy hour menu as that is what we wanted to try. I will return and try again for the happy hour. Lots of people there and the outside deck looks great.

Beautiful venue. Excellent service. Delicious food! Two of us split the ricotta bread and we each got the sea bass. The bread had fabulous flavor and texture with the perfect amount of saltiness to enhance the flavor. The sea bass was buttery and cooked to perfection with very yummy balls of pasta underneath. For beverages, I got the black pearl and my friend got an apple based drink with a cinnamon rim. We were both very happy with the drinks and I enjoyed the flavor complexity in mine!
Went back and consistently delicious food! Tried the butternut squash and mushroom rigatoni dish and it was divine!

Spent a lovely snowy evening celebrating a birthday in our family. There were eight of us and everyone tried something different and we each enjoyed what we chose. Joe was our server and provided prompt, efficient service and readily answered questions. The menu was varied and provided something for everyone. There is attention to detail in each dish without being fussy. We look forward to returning to try the other choices we found intriguing.

Overall, we enjoyed everything that we’ve ordered and the price point seemed fair. Table service was courteous and appropriate for the setting.
The wait for our order was long as the place was quite busy. It would’ve been fine if the music wasn’t so loud that it was impossible to have a conversation. It got louder over time, which made me feel somewhat uncomfortable as. I wish it’s a little quieter so we could properly appreciate the food and enjoy a good conversation.
I would consider returning for the food for special events if they have an option for a quieter seating.
