Hamlet & Ghost

I went to Hamlet & Ghost for the first time a last month, and it has easily been one of the best dining experiences I’ve had during my three months in Saratoga Springs. It’s a popular restaurant, so reservations are recommended. If you’re able to get a seat at the bar, that’s a great option as well. We arrived right when they opened on a Friday night and were seated immediately, but within minutes the restaurant was full. (On a return visit, I learned they will take your name and number for a callback if you’re hoping for bar seating.) Tim was our bartender and provided exceptional service. He was attentive without being intrusive, checked in at the right times, and made sure we were well taken care of throughout the meal. The cocktails were very well done, especially the martinis. At the end of the evening, we ordered an espresso martini, and Tim thoughtfully split it into two glasses for us to share! The menu changes seasonally, which keeps things interesting. We ordered the bread and butter and the salmon. The bread arrived warm with a lightly sweet whipped butter topped with black sea salt. The salmon was perfection with crispy skin and tender, flaky meat. I can’t speak highly enough about Hamlet & Ghost. From the atmosphere to the drinks, food, and service this restaurant is a 10/10

Amazing restaurant!! If you’re visiting Saratoga Springs and want somewhere good to eat, book this place! The drinks and food are all really well done. Coming from nyc, I feel like this would be a competitive restaurant there too. Make sure to reserve in advance because it gets packed.

This was the perfect place to celebrate my wedding anniversary! Made a reservation to sit at the chef’s counter where we watched all the magic happen and we were gifted 2 glasses of champagne! We ordered many things…Oysters were delightful, Beef Tataki was INCREDIBLE, Butternut Squash Salad was perfect, Salmon was very nice, Octopus Ink Pasta with Mussels was rich and yummy, the Burger was phenomenal (best we’ve ever had) and the coffee cream dessert was heavenly! Thank you to Jill for taking such good care of us and making us feel uber special!
