Glens Falls makes another appearance with Doc’s Restaurant, an American-style restaurant that has also earned plenty of praise from OpenTable diners.

Next, we head south on the Northway to Saratoga Springs and The Wishing Well, known for its contemporary American fare.

4. Daley’s On Yates — Schenectady
From Saratoga, we head west to the Electric City for Daley’s On Yates in Schenectady.

5. The Wine Bar — Saratoga Springs
Rounding out the list is The Wine Bar in Saratoga Springs, right in the heart of downtown.
Full disclosure: I've actually been there myself. On my visit, I only had wine, but OpenTable diners have plenty to say about the food.
OpenTableDiner called it “always a great meal and experience” and specifically recommended the scallops and lamb chops.
So, while I can personally vouch for stopping in for a glass of wine, it sounds like the food is worth ordering, too.
