Dove + Deer

Love this place so much! Having been to the bar it was previously, it's amazing to see the elegant upgrade. Service is always amazing. We love the crispy chicken sandwich. Yes, its a simple choice, but it is done very well and always delicious. We went recently and there was a smoked tuna appetizer served on fresh toasted sour dough slice with fresh tarragon and cucumber and it was to die for. Literally still dreaming about it. The cocktails are well executed as well. And on a personal note, love that it's female run and owned.

Unpretentious but stylish presentation worked well here. Complex flavors put together in a way that a cautious diner feels comfortable trying. Simple dishes such as the mussels were prepared perfectly and seasoned so they taste familiar but at the same time better than I’ve had in years. (Hint hint get the mussels!) Simple interior and the focus on service also made dining super enjoyable while not being stuffy. Nice place to bring people for quality dining. Not a place for young kids, but hey, more desert for you.

Great atmosphere at the center square pub and tavern great hospitality food and drinks!

My son just moved to Albany and we had our first meal from Dove and Deer. The brussels sprout appetizer was so delicious, will you share the recipe?? My son finished them for breakfast the next day. The rest of the meal was great too. As we explore Albany, this will be our go to restaurant for sure.
