BALLSTON SPA — The long-awaited restaurant located on the second floor of the $35.9 million Saratoga County Airport is finally set to open on May 1.

Discussions regarding an eatery at the airport stretch back to at least April 2025, when a public hearing was scheduled regarding a proposed lease agreement with Alexi’s at the Airport Inc. 

The airport’s new kitchen and bar, Sunset at Saratoga, will offer breakfast, lunch, and dinner from 7:30 a.m. until 8:30 p.m., Monday through Sunday, according to a sign hanging inside the airport. 

The restaurant will serve local social media star Pat Fleming’s signature “big black coffee,” as well as homemade Brooklyn bread from the Old World Gourmet Market.

The eatery also offered a special St. Patrick’s Day take-out menu with corned beef, shepherd’s pie, reuben, and Irish soda bread on March 17. 

Last month, Sunset posted that it was hiring for all positions. 

According to the Times Union, the airport restaurant will be run by Michael Speranza of Ballston Spa.
