Amazing little spot - the drink selection was phenomenal and the drinks themselves expertly made. The appetizer choices were many and varied with excellent options. For dinner the menu is small but was intriguing. I had the duck breast and it was delicious and perfectly cooked. My fiance had the snapper, it was also amazing. The service was great, Hillary was attentive and answered all my annoying questions.

What an unexpected surprise. My wife and I have been dining in Saratoga over 20 years as part of vacationing there and we've had many 'good' meals there. Hamlet & Ghost delivered what I consider our very best meal we've had there. It was seriously unexpected as dinner during COVID has been a challenge and we've empathized with many resturants who have had to change their menus or level of service due to restrictions. At first glance H&G appeared to be your typical dressed up gastropub, where the focus was on fancy cocktails and food to supplement. On the contrary the food is an immersive experience. Original dishes that just continued to impress. We started with an outstanding Charcuterie board with ample amount of cured meat and a mix of hard/soft cheese, pickled peppers and spiced pickles. We moved to the Red Endive salad... which may now be my most favorite salad on the planet! Fresh, crunchy endive mixed with pear and fig jam. It's the contrast of flavors and textures that blended so satisfyingly. Next: the melted Burrata Fondue. We've had Burrata's served many different ways... I can attest that H&G's Fondue was singularly unique and the best we've ever had. Rich, creamy, with oyster mushrooms and this incredible soubise sauce. You can tell that every element of the dish was farm fresh and perfectly balanced. The entree was the showstopper... the Porterhouse for Two... trimmed and cooked perfectly... in this incredible maderia jus. The potatoes were seasoned perfectly but the big surprise was the inclusion of kale as a green dressed in this incredible vinegrette. It was amazing. We split the Chocolate Etan Mess... which was the perfect palette cleanser. The whole meal was so satisifying. Gourmet with comfort food sensibilities. We won't be in the area again for a few months however we will make advanced reservations at the slightest hint of travel up the Northway!
The best place in Saratoga springs. So delicious! Very delicious handcrafted cocktails. Friendly staff and our waiter was very helpful and friendly. I just recommend to make reservation in advance for anything.
One of the best meals we have had in a while. The staff is top notch. The cocktails and overall meal experience are on par if not better than what you expect from much more grand restaurants in bigger cities. We will definitely be back
This place deserves your time. To start their cleaning and sanitation standards during Covid was exceptional. My time at Hamlet and Ghost was so incredible I’m honestly disappointed in myself for not visiting them every night on my recent trip to Saratoga Springs. I saved this spot for my birthday dinner and it was incredible, I couldn’t find a complaint if I tried. The “Starters” are huge and are easily worth their price tag. Cocktails are fairly priced and delicious. Bartenders are knowledgeable and very helpful. There’s no sense of pretentiousness or intimidation, which some cocktail bars come with. I was shocked to find my bartender Jerry was new to the team. He answered every question I had like he wanted to talk about the drinks and not just get me to order. He was incredibly kind and he really elevated the whole experience. Sonia, our other bartender was so sweet and kind. I wouldn’t have been disappointed with an outdoor table, but the bartenders really took the experience to the next level.
