This restaurant is sort of in the middle of nowhere not far from the Saratoga Racetrack, and was crowded when we visited with mostly locals. It has a lot of horse oriented pictures and decor, with age and charm. It seems to cater mostly to high enders. We liked the food and atmosphere a lot,and service was good, though they... More

My family took me here for my birthday and even though it was quite a trip from home(100mi/RT) it was well worth it. The food was excellent and the service was way above average. I had their poached lobster and it was a real treat. We are looking foward to returning.

Awesome ambience Spectacular service Bottom line, however, is the quanity of food is not worth the price. You'll regret it after you take a few days to think about how much you spent and what you got.

Excellent food, the lamb chops were cooked perfectly and the South African lobster tails were amazing. This does all come at a price and the decor is a bit dated. Overall it was a good dining experience.

Service was way above average - however, it was a bit rushed for valentine's day. I didn't feel they were tyring to get us out but the food came a bit too quickly in between courses. I think the pace of service would be fine for a normal everyday evening but for valentine's - better to be a bit slower... More

My husband and I went last Wednesday night. On Wednesday night the Wishing Well runs bar specials. The staff is always friendly and quick with our drinks, the bartender always makes you feel welcome when you enter the establishment! We ordered the sliders, and fries, along with house salad. Those sliders are from scratch not your frozen sliders. And the... More

We enjoyed The Wishing Well once again. Good specials ... reasonably priced. Three courses for $25 with a decent choice of starters and entrees, not to mention desserts. Service .. good, as usual.

I had an excellent experience with the Wishing Well for my daughter's wedding on January 20, 2013. The manager, Bob Lee, responded to my online inquiry immediately (as I live on Long Island and my daughter lives in Saratoga Springs) and put us in contact with the Special Events Coordinator, Mary, just as quickly. The ceremony (and luncheon( was in... More

We had an excellent meal here last night. I don't normally spend the time to write reviews, but it is hard to find a good restaurant. I loved my meal. I had french onion soup and citrus Norwegian Salmon. I was happy to find Salmon that wasn't farmed Salmon, as I love Salmon but know the farmed Salmon is actually... More

I was visiting a friend who lives in Corinth, NY and she had been dying to go to this restaurant for quite some time so I agreed to check it out with her. Well, to say that we were both shocked is an understatement. This place is really old and out dated. Aside from the decor which isn't that big... More
