QuaranTACO Tuesdays

With restaurants currently closed for dine-in options, most have come up with creative ways to offer food (and beverages) to their customers. Some of those include fantastic specials, like Frederick’s Restaurant Quarantaco Tuesdays.

We needed a break from cooking at home so we decided to order from Frederick’s for pick-up. It just happened to be on a Tuesday when they were offering their QuaranTaco Tuesday specials. We ordered el pastor tacos and strip steak fajitas, and it was all delicious. Everything was very flavorful and well-cooked, and the portions provided us with multiple meals. I mean there are 4 tacos per order, more than even I could eat on a hungry day! I think we had about a dozen containers with all sorts of toppings. They even gave us chips and salsa to complete our meal.

They also offer adult beverages for takeout to compliment your meal and I regret not ordering a pitcher of their blueberry lime margarita special that evening. What was I thinking!?

We ordered a couple of weeks ago and they did a taco Tuesday menu again last week, check out that scrumptious sounding menu to the left. I am hoping that they will have a similar QuaranTaco menu for tomorrow, especially with it also being Cinco de Mayo, and I WILL be ordering the margaritas if they do. I will be stalking their Facebook page to see what the menu will be. They have been posting their specials there daily so if tacos aren’t your thing they have other options. Give yourself a great meal while also supporting a local family-owned restaurant in Bolton Landing.

For Sale - 4983 Lake Shore Drive, Bolton Landing, NY 12814 - Commercial Property

If you want to start a business in Bolton Landing, NY, I have the perfect location to do so. This commercial property was previously a bar/restaurant right in downtown Bolton Landing. The location is perfect and there are definitely a few businesses I know our town could use.

This building features a beautiful 31' custom wooden bar, Adirondack style trim, wood beams, and hardwood floors. Its rustic style fits right in with the mountainous upstate New York area. It has a full kitchen, walk-in cooler, and a large basement for storage. This place is ready for you to bring your great ideas and make it your own.

The best part of this space to me is the 2 renovated apartments upstairs. Again these are done tastefully in a rustic style with wood throughout each unit. There is a 2 bedroom apartment and a studio apartment. The potential income from these rentals could help pay for the place below or maybe you want to live close to your business, you can’t get much closer than this. I really can’t believe this great deal, $399,000 for business space and two apartments, right in downtown Bolton Landing is still available and I really can’t wait to see what someone brings to it.

15 Church Restaurant Experience

A couple of my favorite things, outside of real estate of course, are great food and great wine. So last week when I took my wife out for her birthday dinner I picked 15 Church in Saratoga Springs. It is one that had been on my list to try for a while and it didn’t disappoint. The ambiance, the food, and the service were all beyond what I expected. Others must already know this though because it was a rainy Tuesday night and there wasn’t an empty seat.

We started with a bottle of zinfandel from Buehler Vineyards in St. Helena, CA, a great wine region north of Napa and Sonoma for those unfamiliar. After we ordered we were presented with some amazing crusty but soft bread that was sprinkled with herbs and cheese. We shared the Burrata cheese that had apple jam and other delicious ingredients on it and I also got the Sea Bass Soup, which was a special that night, it had a smooth rich broth with plenty of sea bass in it.

For our main entrees, my wife ordered the Lobster Fra Diavolo. I stole a bite so I can confirm that it was just as tasty as she said it was. She loved the buttery lobster with the sauce that wasn’t too spicy. I opted for another special that night which was the Cowboy Steak. A generous portion that was cooked to perfection and served with some delicious fried potatoes. As if that wasn’t enough food we also couldn’t resist trying the Brussels Sprouts as a side, they are prepared with bacon, apples and caramelized onions and served with a fried egg on top!

Since it was my wife’s birthday we had to have a celebratory dessert and she loves a good Creme Brulee so it was a no-brainer on what to order. Again that didn’t disappoint with the creamy richness of the vanilla bean custard to that crunchy caramelized sugar on top.

As I mentioned briefly the service was fantastic, very attentive but not overly. They do little things for you like the manager gave us some wonderful complimentary Limoncello to thank us for celebrating with them. I can’t recommend this place enough. Now my mouth is watering reliving that meal and I can’t wait for another reason to get back to 15 Church.

Not only is this a great property with a lot of opportunity for someone looking to start a business in the area but it is also one of my favorite restaurants to eat at, the Up River Cafe. Besides exceptional food the location of this restaurant can’t be beat. Located on the Hudson River the screened in back porch offers beautiful views during your dining experience.

This turnkey restaurant is ready for anyone to take it over. It seats 123, both inside and out, and has a lot of charm. The building is nicely deigned and it is tastefully decorated. It has been a successful destination for locals and tourists.

The property also includes a parking lot that can fit 14 cars. There is plenty of storage space and a little area to function as an office.
