Dome49

Nice selection in the menu albeit not a huge choice and we waited a while for our food both hopefully means the food is fresh. The server was super friendly and pleasant. Food was good — hearty American-​Italian food. I loved that they offered bunless burgers for the health conscious. I ordered the house salad with chicken and got LOADS of chicken. The portions of my fellow diners were also huge. You will definitely get fed there! The only thing I thought was weird, was that the toilets are kind of in the dining room. Each time the toilet door opened I could look right in… All in all a pleasant experience thought

Let me start off by saying this is the most adorable place I have been to in a long time, right down to the spotless bathroom. I love how this place looks inside. It is extremely inviting.
Now down to the food. The menu here is really nice and has a wide variety. So, my hubby and I decided to do a switcheroo here. We order 2 dishes, then rotate mid meal, so we can try more than one thing. We started with the antipasto. Being Italian and being from Long Island, I know this is a risk. I mean we are upstate, so this could have been a bad decision. I am happy to report, this was a plentiful platter of delicious provolone, mozzarella, olives, and roasted peppers.
On to the entrée’s, I order the pork shank and he got the chicken riggies. In case you have never visited upstate NY before, apparently Riggies are what they call rigatoni pasta:-) Both dishes were above average. That pork shank was delicious. It was huge and came served in a brown sauce with mushrooms over a angel hair. The pork was perfectly cooked and fall off the bone delicious. The rigatoni was equally good if not better. We ordered it with a medium sauce, which really gave it an nice heat. So good!
They only serve beer and wine, which is fine by me, but they do have a beautiful bar installed which I am not sure why since they do not served mixed drinks. The owner/​chef came out to check on us, and our server was excellent.
This is such a nice restaurant, if you are in the area. A true gem. Can’t wait to return on my next visit to try something else.

I’ve pretty much given up on writing Unilocal reviews but I had to break my boycott to do this one! Phil and Tracy who are the owners (and chef and server, respectively) are amazing. We have gone for brunch on 4^th of July weekend two years in a row; this restaurant is the only one in the little village open on Sunday, and we were starving.
The welcomed us, fed us, made us to order omelettes and pancakes-​all when we walked in at 11:59 am and they close at noon. Unreal. The love we got from them was amazing. They even kept trying to send us away with leftovers when we were done. Who does that?
Top notch and we’ll be back next year!

OUTSTANDING!
The «Dome49 Greens» (sauteed escarole, peppers, prosciutto + asiago) are absolutely amazing! The «medium» heat (mild, medium or spicy) was perfect for me. No pain, just a slight sweat, y’know? My Chicken Marsala was one of the, if not «The», best that I’ve ever had and my wife raved about her «Chicken Riggies», more than ½ of which went home with us.
The very generous portions left us no room for dessert but we were very tempted by the Raspberry Crème Brulee, Chocolate Mousse and the Cannoli (all made from scratch on-​site).
Lily, our waitress, was just perfect, is all. She knew the menu well and was just very sweet, pleasant and helpful. I’d like to think that it was due to my own personal charm but she was equally perfect with all of the other diners, as well.
Can’t forget the friendly gentleman at the bar, also a trained chef, who explained that he occasionally helps out at Dome49 and elsewhere & who also made our 1^st visit memorable. He was not only very helpful with the menu but very entertaining, as well.
Finally, the owners & chefs, Rich & Tracy, made sure that they visited each table to make sure we were all satisfied. As busy as they were, they took time to converse with each of us, more than once. They obviously care a great deal about their establishment and everyone who works or dines there. Just good folks, they are.
We’re not exactly «locals» (~55 miles away) but we’re definitely fans and we will be back … and we’ll try to infuence everyone we know to get here, too.
NOTES: Don’t be looking for a big, fancy place. It’s small and very unassuming outside. It’s small inside, as well, but comfortable and very friendly. Also, VERY handicap friendly, including the rest rooms … a little tight for a wheelchair, but doable.

My wife and I love the bar menu. The panini & fries for under $ 10 is a great value. We often order food «to go» and find at a lot of restaurants when you get home the food is soggy & not what it should be. At Dome49 when you order to take food home it’s always fresh, hot & crispy.
Great place for good food.

The Unilocal reviews are spot on for this place. The owners and staff are so friendly and accommodating. Food is excellent. I ordered the chicken panini. It arrived promptly and was perfectly prepared and tasty. Had a lovely glass of Malbec with my meal. Going to order the chocolate mousse for dessert. Bet it will be awesome. anyone who can bail off the NY Thruway at exit 29, head back the three miles to Fort Plain for a real treat.
Yep, the mousse is delicious. Light and airy. Just chocolatey goodness.

Pork Osso Bucco wow that was good. Second trip and better than the first time. Worth a drive from Canjoharie or Little Falls for the food and friendly staff.

The food tonight was outstanding. I had the special seafood chowder and my son had the chicken riggies. Had French onion soup and the artichoke crustinni. Can’t tell you how good this place is. Service was great, warm and freindly. Chef came out to see how we liked food. Will be back soon, with friends.

Antipasto Plate is Outstanding — Start here. It might be the best I’ve seen.
