The Shaker & Vine

“The first time I went about 6 months ago it was good. But tonight I went with a group and it was really good! The spinach artichoke dip is sooo good! Also had the Nashville hot chicken flatbread (3 of us did) and it was hands down the best thing we tried! Service was good, atmosphere was good. Had a really excellent time overall. Would return.”

“Love coming here! This is one of my favorite places to grab dinner or a drink. The atmosphere is always great, the food is delicious, and the service is consistently top tier. Highly recommend!”

“The Shaker & Vine: A Culinary Gem in Schenectady, NY Located at 221 Harborside Dr, this spot is a mandatory visit; it absolutely astonished me. From the start, the staff’s sincerity and integrity made the atmosphere feel instantly welcoming. The food, drinks, and desserts were a symphony of flavors, where every bite truly tells the story. We began with two sublime cocktails: the Dubai Chocolate Martini (rich, luscious sweetness—pure indulgence!) and the surprisingly smooth Sage Advice. For entrees, the \mathbf{10/10} Peachy Keen salad was a revelatory masterpiece—sweet peaches paired flawlessly with savory ingredients. The Burrata Ravioli, with its comforting, house-made roasted red pepper pesto, will blow your socks off. Our waiter, Evan, suggested the light, delicious Mousse Chocolate Cake and the exceptional Pistachio Ice Cream Cannoli’s with a perfect, crunchy shell. We ended the night with the mind-blowing S’mores Shooter. This spot is the vibe of the year!

“Amazing!! Came here for a drink and it didn’t disappoint! The ambience is amazing and they offered a unique experience of drinking beer or wine from a dispenser you would handle on your own. You’d pay for a card that would be linked to a credit card and get drinks. The wait staff here were also very friendly!”

“We went to Shaker and Vine for an early dinner before seeing Pauly D at Rivers Casino. The atmosphere is honestly so pretty, we sat outside on the patio and loved the fire pits and how comfy the chairs were. We got the buffalo chicken dip, spinach dip, Tuscan pasta, and some cocktails. Drinks were good, but the food was kinda disappointing. It just didn’t have much flavor, and the Tuscan pasta was really small for how much it cost. The dips were lacking flavor as well sadly. Service was pretty slow, but our waiter Evan was amazing. He kept checking on us and apologized for the wait since the kitchen was backed up, which we appreciated. Overall it was just okay this time. We do love it there and would go back for the vibe, but the food definitely wasn’t the best this visit :(”
