My wife & I were in town for a wedding and The Bishop was highly recommended by the hotel we stayed at. They have an incredulous whiskey selection and their crafted libations are just as noteworthy (spicy margarita was great). We ordered the Brussels sprouts & chicken fried steak fingers to start. Followed that up with the smashed burger & my wife had the beet salad. Matt & the staff were very hospitable & provided a great dining experience. Consider it a must stop!

amazing atmosphere, wonderful food, and overall a quality dining experience!

Hard to say which was best, the food, the drinks, the service? Husband had steak and eggs; I had Grand Marnier French toast ( sorry, forgot to take pics). It was all superior. We had a top notch brunch and had an opportunity to meet the owner, Scott. He was as charming as his establishment. Just moved into our #1 brunch spot.

If I could negative stars I would and only because of misinformation. Me and my husband were looking for a nice place to eat. We called the bishop to ask if reservation was needed. She asked us for when we said we will be there in less than 10 mins. The lady replied no and that we can come in. We get there and immediately asked if we had a reservation. And then turned away for no reservation. So if your gonna go there make sure you have a reservation

We had excellent service. Great bar selection. Meals were very good. Amazing French Onion Soup!

great place: food was delicious, Dave the bartender was phenomenal with his service!

Another great meal at The Bishop tonight. My husband got the seafood pasta special and I got the chef's cut dinner. We both finished every delicious bite. Special shout out to Matt for his yummy old fashion and Alyssa for her awesome service. Ask for both when you go!

Over 45 minutes to receive appetizer (singular)... eventually the antres came out after nearly 2 hour wait. We were literally just about to flag down the wait staff and leave when they finally did come out. Horrible service all around, but the food and cocktails were good when they finally did come out. Absolutely will not come back again.

Came into Albany on a Sunday and this was one of the only places open. Lucky for us it had excellent food, waitstaff, and overall vibe. Bottomless mimosas and Cheladas were on deck to accompany the great food. We brought our 3 kids and the owner made a point to come talk to them. Great experience and we will make a return trip to Albany just to go here.
