Leftovers with a thank you note

Chez Mike leftovers note

This is better than an aluminum foil swan.

Check it out: we had dinner last night at Chez Mike in E. Greenbush and our leftovers came with a thank you note from Mike himself. It's the first time we've ever seen that.

How was dinner? Good. We've been there three times now. The first time was not so hot. But after hearing that other people had better experiences, we went back. We're glad we did. Chez Mike strikes a nice balance -- the food seems to be prepared with real care and the environment is pleasantly casual.

Here's the menu, which is a little out of date. When we were there last night it looked like they'd changed it up a bit for autumn.

I'm just gonna pull a Pantaloons on this one; I for one had never seen a mini deer. Enjoy.

Pppffft. Big deal. I ate a cookie at a Chinese restaurant last week, and there was a note for me inside. It said "You only have one life so live it to the fullest". Damn right. I don't mean to brag, but I'm known for being a bit edgy and dangerous. Like that one time I went swimming right after eating lunch instead of waiting the recommended 20 minutes. What can I say... born to be wild!

I feel like such a wossy, I've been waiting for 30 minutes after eating lunch to go swimming.

My husband and I ate at Chez Mike a few weeks ago and it was really good. I had the veggie lasagna and he had the short ribs. The lasagna was so big that we both had the leftovers for lunch! And it's a nice addition to East Greenbush where there doesn't seem to be much of a choice in "finer dining."

The Scoop

For a decade All Over Albany was a place for interested and interesting people in New York's Capital Region. It was kind of like having a smart, savvy friend who could help you find out what's up. AOA stopped publishing at the end of 2018.
