Ambition Bistro

There is a good reason why Ambition has such a strong following and is the go-to spot for so many people living, working and visiting in Schenectady. Their home fries are 5 stars and they have a large breakfast menu that is great. But their dinner options are NEXT LEVEL! The fact that their tiny kitchen can consistently put out such incredible food is amazing. Now, the only sad part is they don't always offer dinner, it's usually just for Proctors shows. But wow, if you get a chance to come for dinner, cancel all your other plans and come here. Fresh, delicious food from appetizers, through their huge main course portions and great deserts. Try something new and you won't be disappointed.

Wanted brunch and didn't feel like going too far so figured I would go here since I had been before. I was tossing up two different places and this one was open earlier than the other. Waitress was pleasant. Ordered a Bloody Mary and got spicy tomato juice. Had a bacon, ham and cheese omelet with rye toast and home fries. Food was cooked well and tasted good. Decided to order another Bloody Mary thinking maybe my tastes were off but nope got another spicy tomato juice. Thinking I should have went with my second choice but the food made it ok.

I couldn't wait to write a review for this restaurant. We were in town for a softball tournament and went here based on reviews. All the reviews were spot on. Our server was really awesome and made us feel right at home. Food was absolutely delicious and was served pretty quickly. This is a highly recommend for me. I would go back here in a heartbeat.

The service was excellent. The coffee was good - fresh, hot and flavorful. The Moroccan soup was perfectly flavored and filling, really good. The special wrap (chicken, artichokes, bacon and dressing) was ok. It was fresh but I couldn't taste the artichokes or the bacon, only the chicken and dressing.

The Service Of Jermaine B. Was very poor, 3 of us ordered $42.66 in food and when we asked for ICED Tea he served it warm we asked for ice he brought us a cup of ice then asked for lemon and he brought 1 slice of lemon for 3 of us to share then we still needed more Ice and he brought another cup of ice and slammed it on the table he was very snappy towards us very poor customer service especially when the service should be outstanding and exceptional but he was poorly trained apparently because we are not satisfied with the service here, foremost we are business owners here in Schenectady and we were coming to Ambition since 2012 and the business has became very decayed and unkept anyways to make a long story short it used to be more welcoming and LGBTQA Friendly but we felt strongly un welcomed by the poor service! Update: Marc thanks for reaching out to us we are happy to hear your employee validated what we stated however the food was fairly good just wish their were better options for choices of sides not everyone loves chips, and the sandwich special the spiciness of the sandwich overpowered the whole taste of the sandwich.
