Two Concepts. One Vision.
Decanter International Chophouse and Haystack Southern Kitchen were created with one shared purpose: bringing the Albany community great food, genuine hospitality and memorable dining experiences under one roof. As a proud Black-owned establishment, both concepts reflect a deep commitment to excellence, community and creating a space where everyone feels welcome.
Each restaurant has its own personality, yet both share the same dedication to quality ingredients, thoughtful cooking and warm, attentive service. Decanter offers an elevated dining experience built around premium steaks, fresh seafood and refined, chef-crafted plates. Just steps away, Haystack Southern Kitchen delivers the comforting flavors of home with hearty southern dishes made with care and honest ingredients.
Together, these two kitchens create a unique destination where guests can choose the style of dining that fits their mood while enjoying the same level of hospitality. Whether you're celebrating a special moment, gathering with family or simply looking for a good meal and good company, we're here to make every visit feel special.
