SARATOGA SPRINGS — Prime restaurant at the Saratoga National Golf Club has unveiled a new name and identity: Heritage at Saratoga National.

Located on the 18th hole, the American contemporary eatery “brings together elevated flavors and an easygoing, welcoming feel,” the business said in a press release.

Patrons will notice some physical changes to the space: The restaurant’s bar and lounge has been expanded into the dining room, and the fine dining area is now separated by a floor-to-ceiling curtain. (“Everyone’s go-to spot is the bar and lounge; therefore, we wanted to make it larger,” said Tim Vennard, vice president of Mazzone Hospitality.)

Prime was originally created in 2012 as a high-end dining experience. In 2020, the food and beverage operations at Saratoga National transitioned, with Mazzone Hospitality ultimately taking over and continuing the concept for several years.

Menus are available at HeritageAtSaratogaNational.com and are led by Executive Chef Dan Beltran in collaboration with Brian Molino, director of culinary for Mazzone Hospitality. Beltran previously served as executive sous chef at Salt & Char before joining Saratoga National in early 2025.

Heritage opened for the season on April 2. Dinner will be served Wednesday through Saturday from 5 to 9 p.m. Beginning April 8, Heritage will offer lunch and dinner Tuesday through Saturday, along with Sunday lunch from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. 

Saratoga National Golf Club opens for the season on Friday, April 10.

Week of  April 10 – April 16, 2026

Meet Rosie!

Written by Saratoga TODAY on . Posted in Neighborhood Buzz.

Rosie was found wandering around a neighborhood with her 12 week old kitten close behind. Concerned neighbors were able to determine that they were not feral and brought them inside and out of the cold March weather. The kitten was able to find a loving home and mom came to us where she was promptly brought to the veterinarian’s office and received her rabies and first distemper vaccination. She is extremely sweet and absolutely gorgeous and was able to spend some time in a foster home. She is back at the center and loves chatting with us and getting as many pets as possible. She will be spayed, microchipped and reassessed by the veterinarian soon and will be available for adoption once she is fully healed.

The HOPE Pet Adoption Center is open to the public Tuesday, Friday and Saturday from 11-4 or by appointment. Online adoption applications can be at our website www.hopeanimalrescue.org. For any questions give us a call at 518-450-7013.
