Plumed Horse

Went on a Wednesday night for a celebration. Staff was courteous, wished us a happy anniversary on several occasions. The food was delicious, the food presentation was great. We tried the chanterelle mushroom tart, the signature souffle, the ribeye steak (medium rare) and went for the granny smith, and basque cheesecake. Sebastian took care of us for the evening and was very nice, professional and kind. We loved our experience and we will definitely come back again.

My husband and I went here for the Valentine's Indulgence Experience menu on Saturday 2/15/25, and it was anything but. The mishaps started from the moment we walked in. We gave our name and reservation time (5 min early) to the gentleman behind the podium. He found our reservation, but seemed confused, and left without saying anything else. Standing there, wondering what was going on, a lady came from the back, and asked us for our name, then told someone to take us to the table.After passing down a couple hallways, and given no explanation of the different rooms we were passing, other than the wine room, we were seated. The gentleman pouring us water asked if we had been helped yet, which we awkwardly said yes to, because how else would we have gotten seated at a Michelin place?Another person came around to offer a glass of champagne and to find out if we would like the wine paring with dinner. We declined the wine pairing, but weren't offered any other beverages (alcoholic or non) with our meal.The food was just meh. Some items lacked flavor, and others were chewy (scallop and duck). None of it felt indulgent at all. It was very basic. Definitely not worth the $998 price tag for two people who were just drinking water. Oh and the decor was extremely dated. The color changing lights overhead cheapened the space, and some of the ceiling lights were burnt out. I also noticed that because of the lighting design, my husband and his food were lit nicely, while me and my food were in the dark. I know this seems trivial, but again, it really cheapened the indulgence experience. Speaking of...whomever was in charge of the music needed some help with the playlist. The 90's rap/love songs felt very out of place.There was zero indulgence here.

Came here for dinner and was not impressed with the service.For reference, we came here for their Valentine's Day pre fixe menu where a dinner for two was 4 figures. The food was delicious (the scallops were AMAZING), but considering the cost, the service fell below my expectations.Mostly, my issue was with the timing of all the dishes. Multiple times, our dishes came out while we were still eating the last dish and sometimes 2 dishes came out at the same time. Meanwhile, other dishes took a very long time to come out. It came to the point where 2 tables who came after us finished and left before us. I didn't see this issue with any of the tables around us and was disappointed the staff did not say anything about this.I'd say one of the main reasons people go to fine dining restaurants is for the service and this restaurant fell short of that for me. Though the food is pretty good, I would not come again.

Phenomenal experience at a Michelin starred restaurant - service is superb and exactly what you would expect at a restaurant of this caliber. We opted for the chef's tasting menu, and it certainly did not disappoint! The caviar was fantastic, and the soufflé was one of my favorite courses, pairing wonderfully with the Dungeness crab and uni fondue. There is an upgrade option for the A5 Miyazaki, which we opted for, and our medium rare cuts of meat just melted in our mouth. Cheeky and tasty desserts as well. We celebrated our anniversary here, and received a complimentary glass of champagne to close out our meal. Definitely worth the splurge if you are celebrating something special.

Service was good and was what was expected for a Michelin start restaurant. Classy ambience for a celebration, with white tablecloths and elegant decor. Food was OK. The fillet of beef was cold and a bit chewy. Mushroom tart was similarly hard and cold, although the mushrooms were flavored nicely. Star of the night was the dessert, which was a light, fruit flavored creamy panna cotta. The meal overall left me wanting more food, and was not very satisfying. Would probably not go back to this place, especially given the price point.

We recently celebrated my wife's birthday at The Plumed Horse in Saratoga, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. Since it was a Tuesday evening, the restaurant wasn't particularly busy, but that only added to the intimate and welcoming ambience. From the moment we arrived, the staff was friendly and professional, seating us promptly and ensuring we felt at ease.We opted for the 4-course tasting menu, and every dish exceeded our expectations. From the very first bite of their freshly baked bread, we knew we were in for a treat. Each course that followed was meticulously prepared and delicious, showcasing the chef's creativity and attention to detail.To elevate the evening further, we decided to indulge in the caviar tasting, which turned out to be an excellent addition. The luxurious flavors and perfect pairings added a special touch to an already exquisite meal.Overall, the evening was a wonderful celebration, made all the more special by the warm atmosphere, impeccable service, and unforgettable cuisine. The Plumed Horse provided an unforgettable dining experience, and we can't wait to return!

My return to this Michelin-starred Saratoga restaurant, this time with my parents. It's very much a restaurant for them rather than for me; it is very classic, traditional, with little in terms of surprise. It works wonderfully, and it's exactly what you expect. Service is flawless, though the room could have two fewer tables (at times, servers had to reach over the table). And the food is exactly what you expect - French, with some California influence. Overall excellent... but just what it is.

The service was amazing. The dining room did feel a little more casual than your typical fine dining restaurant but we liked it. Everyone was attentive and our waters were always filled. We opted for the tasting menu. Had a couple spiritless cocktails and enjoyed each course as they arrived. It was a fun dinner, ending with a surprise sparkling cider toast to celebrate. We'd like to return and bring out of town guests to share the experience.

Came to celebrate a big birthday for a family member. Late reservation at 8:30pm but we got seated early around 8:10pm. We waited for a while for anyone to come and offer water or go over the menu. I figured it was because we were early than our reservation. There was some confusion with who was going to take our order and who would go over the process for the 4 course prix fix. It was fine but a little awkward. Once Alex got involved, everything in terms of service got much better!The ambiance is lovely and we liked the music in the background which wasn't silence or too quiet. It made it feel very relaxed than other equally michelin'd places. Relaxed yet quiet lux.The food was amazingly good. Creative, delicious, perfectly prepared and gorgeously plated. The pork chop stood out as the sauce served with it was savory, comforting and memorable. The parmesan and black pepper souffle was everything I had hoped it was. I will definitely go back again for the beautifully prepared canapes (beef carpaccio puff was crave-worthy,) the side dishes and the breads and butters, which were absolutely dreamy, the souffle, and the outstanding Paris Brest dessert. The creme caramel was just ok. Would also want to see how the menu will change each season to time our return. 100% worth the splurge on expensive wines and port (4-figure price tag for 3.) Oh and I loved that they had awesome NA options for our birthday guy- a NOgroni (NA Negroni) was excellent and a witty surprise!

Exceeded expectations! Good value for a Michelin star establishment.We brought kids which they were able to accommodate with some lovely pasta. Service was top notch and very friendly. Only thing that could be better would be slighter faster coursing. Also staff could have anticipated that the kids would want some of the dessert and brought utensils for them. That said they were really nice about a birthday we were celebrating and made it extra special.The soufflé appetizer and pasta course were perfectly executed. Would get again.The entrees were perfectly sized -- not tiny but not large either. Duck was okay and didn't at all have a connection to Peking duck. The pork chop and beef entreees were the best. Fish may have been a tad salty.Outdoor dining was nice. Few gnats but otherwise great set up. The inside was very stylish and upscale.Would come back for another meal. The food itself was tasty, not just pretty, and service made it very special.
