Disclaimer
Jack's Oyster House will be open for a bit as we welcome guests back to State Street. After this initial period, we will temporarily close again to complete the next phase of our renovation, preserving the character of Jack's while elevating the experience for years to come. During this limited opening, reservations and walk-ins will be honored as usual; once renovation resumes, service will pause until our full relaunch. We appreciate your patience and support as we work to make Albany's landmark dining room as finely aged as the wines in our cellar—Jack's Oyster House, renewed for the next century.
