Creo’ is Latin for “to create”. Our menu offers an eclectic mix of Mediterranean and American styles of food served in a comfortable and casual atmosphere.
"It took over an hour for us to get our meals. I never recieved my appetizer of brussels sprouts. My father's filet mignon was ice cold. I do have to say that one of the pizzas that we got was fantastic, but overall, the experience was not a good one."

"We returned to Creo for dinner after a recent, excellent lunch experience. Prior to the recent lunch it had been some time since we had dined at Creo. Our recollection was that the busy restaurant was loud at dinner time and that the chef maybe tries a little too hard were re-confirmed. The open kitchen, open seating and hard surfaces make it a noisy place. The food is good but the vegetable combinations and seasoning choices appear to us to be more about the chef showing off than what we belongs together and enhances the dishes."

"Creo will not disappoint. The hostess was professional and courteous. The wait staff was attentive. The food was good. Did it wow me? No. There was nothing really special about my meal. We had the fish tacos as an appetizer and the butternut squash pizza and 1/2 a chicken. It was all well cooked and tasted good. But for the price....it should've wow'ed me. It's definitely a bit over priced."

"My daughter has been bugging me to try everytime I am in town so I took her and two co-workers and we had a wonderful meal! The menu was just enough to meet everyone's tastes, great wine choices and the service was wonderful. I had the filet which absolutely melted in my mouth. Will definitely return!"

"The food was absolutely delish! All of us ladies enjoyed the fresh beautiful meals that we were served. We had appetizers, salad, soup, and gluten free items. Everyone raved about their dinner and are planning to return."

"Bills itself as farm to table, but the steak is from Colorado and the waiter was unsure of the origin. Seemed more like a marketing label than a true farm to table restaurant."

"We always have a good dining experience at Creo. The wait staff is attentive, there are always interesting specials and the regular menu items are consistently good. Creo is a top Albany area restaurant."

"Had lunch here with two friends. The service was excellent, especially since one of us has a lot of dietary restrictions -- no problem at all to accommodate them. The food was delicious and nicely presented. I had the mushroom ravioli with truffle cream - lovely dish. My only negative comment is that the floor to ceiling windows have little cover and if you sit facing a front window during daylight hours you have to deal with a lot of glare."

"This was our first time at Creo. Our food server, Kelsey, was top drawer. The food was well executed, fresh & beautifully plated. The kitchen was very attentive & accommodating to special requests."

"I love it there. I was there once before, and don't know why it's taken so long to go back. The food is excellent. I had a pastrami sandwich and would have gotten another except it was so filling."

"I have never beend disappointed at Creo, great food selections, locally sourced when possible, 1/2 orders and excellent presentation. Staff at Creo is always helplful, responsive and unobtrusive, there is no rush. ALso, the restaurant, including the rest rooms, is clean and well decorated. One of the best venues in the area."

"We had a business dinner meeting consisting of five people. The food was excellent, as was the service. We were so engrossed in both conversation and food that before we realized it, we were the only patrons remaining. In spite of the fact that I am sure the wait staff wanted to go home, they never rushed us or did things like turn the lights down to let us know it was past time to go. I had been to Creo before for drinks, but never for dinner. I would highly recommend it and plan to return."

"Very nice decor with a comfortable amount of room between tables and the wait staff was considerate and attentive.
Though I had made a reservation it took a while before we were seated. It took what seemed like an eternity from the time we ordered until the time our dinner was served. I ordered salmon which was over cooked though it did taste good."

"I was disappointed by the food this past sunday at brunch-as were the three other women w me. The presentation was nice but the food lacked flavor and the fruit was mealy. Our server also was very unfriendly. She was innatentive, combative and rude. She was also obviously gossiping w other servers about staff anf guests. All of which are extremely innappropriate behavior for the front of the house. The only person who showed any kind of care or interest was the hostess. We are not inclined to return."

"I had eaten here for lunch and was very happy so i returned to see if dinner would be as good. Extremely happy I returned. My wife and I had wonderful meals and the staff was attentive but I never felt rushed. I have recommended Creo's to everyone when great restaurants are being discussed. I plan to return many times."

"This is our second visit since a change in maitre d'Once again the service was marginal. A snafu between the waiter and kitchen delayed our meal. They took dessert off the tab but I wasn't there to get a freebie. When we arrived they couldnt find our reservation. The manager never visited our table which was a customary touch before Creo needs to work on the service. The food was delicious but we'll think twice before visiting again"

"The bar was rocking when I arrived because of happy hour and it was beautiful, marble underlit bar and tables for standing or sitting, but we were there for dinner so we were sat in a romantic quiet location away from the bar. Our server was outstanding, right on top of our needs. We had the soup(Cream of Asparagus) as an app and it was wonderful. My fiance's drink wasn't strong enough so we just ordered a shot of vodka to add to it and it was fine. The place was quiet when we arrived because we had made early reservations because we had a show to make but it was almost full by the time we left which tells me alot of people are enjoying this place. I would recommend this location for any function or get together."

"My husband and I dined on Valentine's Day and chose the special menu for our meals. The warm goat cheese, grape tomato, and caramelized onion tart was amazing. And the surf and turf (8 oz filet mignon, plus 8 oz lobster tail) was absolutely fabulous, with a grilled risotto and asparagus! Dessert was a sabayon over sponge cake with berries and chocolate truffles. Yum!"

"I have been to creo several times but the last time I was there I found the food sub par. My sea bass mani was tough and had a soggy egg batter coating. It wasn't eaten. My companions tuna tartare was presented poorly which made it very unappetizing. The calamari appetizer was tasted There is definitely something off. I would hope it could revive to its original standards"

"We were seated promptly, our waiter was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The oyster appetizer was delicious, salads fresh and the soup was tasty. The ravioli dish was prepared well. Three people ordered steak. All three were undercooked but the manager and the waiter apologized and new dishes were brought out and they were cooked to perfection. The management provided us with a dessert dish for the four of us to share since we had the issue with our meals. Pricey dishes but well worth it!"

"This restaurant was recommended to me for a client meeting. Most of my client meetings are in NYC and Creo definitely stacked up with the level of service and culinary expertise I am used to. I hope to have more reasons to travel to Albany in the future so I can return. Would definitely recommend."

"My waiter rushed me a bit in the beginning of the visit. He wasn't able to tell my much about the wine and then he told me (according to the bartender)a Riesling was dry when it was quite the opposite. Overall it was nice but being 25 minutes away I don't know it's worth the drive."
