Reel Seafood offers seaside lunch spot on Wolf Road

Reel Seafood offers casual elegance for lunch guests.

Reel Seafood Company is proud to unveil a brand new lunch menu. Diners can choose from a wide array of made-from-scratch dishes, including casual fare, and more upscale cuisine, making it a perfect destination for a business lunch or a gathering of friends.

Part of the $1 million renovation, the main dining room was
inspired by co-owner Aliki Serras's trip to the Greek Island of
Santorini.

The menu features Reel Seafood Company’s famous raw bar, with colossal shrimps, east and west coast oysters, cherrystone clams, and little neck clams and other favorites. And when it comes to more traditional lunch items like salads or sandwiches, we think you’ll agree that greens topped with fresh grilled salmon or seared scallops, and grouper sandwiches blow your Caesar salad out of the water.

Reel Seafood Company is co-owned by Aliki Serras and Faith Takes, who say the restaurant is a perfect fit for business meetings and small gatherings. The restaurant, which underwent a $1 million renovation last year, now boasts fresh décor, ample meeting spaces, presentation capabilities, and a full-service catering menu for discerning event planners to choose from.

Did Someone Say Brunch?!

In case you haven't heard, Reel Seafood Co. on Wolf Road in Albany is now serving brunch on Sunday from 11:30am-2pm.

Now, at what has been rated the #1 Seafood Restaurant in the Capital Region, you can choose from a mouth watering selection of old time favorites and new options too!

Like the Triple "S" Waffles - sweet, salty, and savory with apple-wood bacon crumble, chocolate chips, and cinnamon whipped cream. Not in the mood for waffles? Okay! How about the Oscar Omelet made with asparagus, crab, and Gouda cheese served with home fries?

As if the food selection wasn't enough, Reel Seafood kick most certainly kicked it up a notch... or seven, by offering Bloody Mary Bar AND a Mimosa Bar menus! On these two menus you'll find your classic Bloody Mary and Mimosa, but you'll also find selections like a Bacon & Egg Mary which is made with Bakon Vodka, Bloody Mary Mix, with a bacon salt rim, PLUS a hard boiled egg and a slice of bacon with your typical celery garnish.

And for mimosas, you can choose from their menu items or choose to make your own Mimosas with a Bottle of Prosecco and your choice of: two liquors, two juices, and three fresh garnishes to craft your own brunch cocktails.

I don't think I have to say more about this, but just in case: head over to Reel Seafood on Sunday morning for a brunch like you've never had before!
