"Great burger and great service. I was worried when I wasn't asked how good I like the burger, but it came out perfectly, it was nice a juicy. Would definitely go back! Also a very good craft beer selection."

Illusive is the name of this restaurant and that may be due do its location. You would never know it was here unless you already knew about it. It is hidden out of view behind other buildings on Ferry Steet. But once you do find it, you won't be disappointed. Illusive was recently a finalist in a competition for the best burger in NY, and with how much I love burgers I decided to see if they earned it.

This place is amazing! My friend and I found this cute local spot when looking for a place to get together. The food is always fantastic and the drinks are regularly delicious. Service has always been friendly and attentive. They have a patio for outdoor seating with a slight view of Albany. My most recent trip here was for my birthday. I got a couple of their special margaritas and a delicious chicken mac n cheese which was to die for. I cannot wait to return here again!

Food is great. I got one down from the burger. Soooo good and friend got a chicken sandwich special that was also great. The Artichoke Spinat-Dip is dying. That would eat everything. The waitress was very nice. I'll go.
