    Seating was delayed by roughly 5 minutes because hostess had difficulty finding our reservation for Mothers Day brunch. Wait staff was friendly, helpful, attentive. Wait time for food was well suited to the two of us - not rushed but not excessively drawn out. Food was so-so: main course for each of us was stuffed sole with turmeric lemon rice. The fish was okay but a bit old tasting. The rice, however, was distinctly off, highly colored by the turmeric, but had an unpleasant bitterness in some bites and entirely devoid of lemon flavor. Deserts (dark chocolate tart, lemon blueberry tart) were delicious. Two main courses, one glass of wine, two desserts, and a nice tip for our waitress came to about $125. Nice people, so-so food.

    Food was hit or miss. I had the steak and that was wonderful although it was cooked more towards medium than med rare. My husband had the etouffee and swore there was very little meat in the dish. We ordered the kids chicken nuggets and they tasted like cardboard and the fries were like eating a salt lick. The chicken was Very dry and very processed (I had no expectation that a child’s meal would be homemade from chicken breasts). Our waiter was nice enough but had little to no personality. It also took sooo long to get drinks from the bar and it was not a busy night. The drinks were also kinda weak. Overall, I was underwhelmed by the food and the service.

    One of the worst dining experiences I have had in a long time. The menu is enticing but they fail miserably to deliver. Roasted potatoes were raw, hamburger meat and unseasoned lump of charred beef, the bacon jam looked and smelled like dog food and farro salad came dry and without oil or dressing. How they thought that ok to serve us beyond me. We printed out some of these issues to waiter, who passed it on to kitchen yet not a single item was exchanged or taken off bill not offer to make it up with a complimentary item. We paid the bill and left to ho feed our kids at another place. Considering be we drove extra 15 mins to get there from lake placid we were specially offended and surprised by entire experience.

    Staff was nice. Food and drinks good. A little pricey but, having looked at the menu beforehand, we knew that and were ok with it. The upstairs bar was a very nice place to have a drink and relax before our reservation time. The hotel is beautiful and worth visiting.

    A pleasant and quiet (at least the night we were there) place to eat. The bartender made a good Manhattan, and we're picky about our cocktails. The food was fine, but took forever to appear. We waited so long for our order that the server took one of the entrees off the bill. The bar upstairs in the hotel is definitely worth a visit.

    I Ate here with my mother and sister when we were in town for a getaway. The service was amazing, food incredible, and we did not ask for nor expect free refills on soft drinks as a prior reviewer mentioned. We left there happy and full. Great experience overall. The salads were unique and delicious. Burgers were done to perfection. Chili was delicious. And the s’mores dessert was superb and fun! Highly recommended.

    I can only echo other reviews. Staff was very friendly, but food only mediocre. Had a salad as a starter, that didn’t look and taste fresh. My husband had the pork and it was undercooked. We told the waitress and she sent it back to the kitchen for the cook to fix it. When we got it back, it was still undercooked in the middle. Also the food was lukewarm… Would not eat there again.

    The restaurant was not very busy on Thanksgiving eve, but busy enough that it added to the atmosphere. Our server was very attentive to my dietary concerns and we discussed it and he offered suggestions before I even perused the menu. Our drinks came quickly but we didn’t order an appetizer as we expected our food to arrive in a timely manner. We wound up waiting at least an hour for two entrees! My dining partner was really hungry and she noticed the problem before it really registered with me. We asked our server and he said it would be soon, and brought us some chips and hummus on the house. We probably waited another 10 minutes before we were finally served. My partner ordered the pot pie and said the turkey was really salty and didn’t wind up finishing her meal. I had the Paella. It was topped with sliced acorn squash but it wasn’t cooked evenly, parts were a little undercooked. The rest of the dish was filling and tasty. We passed on dessert. Overall it was a nice experience and I would go back, but for the price of a dinner out these days I would expect the meal to be cooked more carefully and still don’t understand why we waited so long as tables around us seemed to be getting their food in a timely manner.

    Our waitress was phenomenal. Food delicious as well. It loses a star because we were one of only 2 tables and it still took the kitchen about 40 min to get dinner and then another 30 min for dessert to come out after ordered. It was not busy and there were no customers coming in for pickup orders. We did not order anything elaborate or change anything that was on the menu.

    Hamburger bun was like a rock. Hamburger meat was way too tough to eat. Pumpkin gnochi had no pumpkin flavor at all other than sone pumpkin seeds. Wait staff was excellent! We have been many times before and the food was always good. Tonight it was rather disappointing. Drinks (especially from Nathan and Nicole upstairs) always OUTSTANDING!!!!!

    My boyfriend and I did an overnight in the Lake Placid/Saranac Lake region and after researching various restaurants in the area, looking at menus and ratings, we chose here for his birthday dinner. The restaurant itself is very nice, clean, and the high back chairs and tables along the window where we sat were beautiful and comfortable. We were one of four tables this Sunday evening, yet, we weren’t checked on very often especially once our courses had been served and a few bites taken. We ordered the lobster bisque and fig & burrata salad as starters; we were impressed with the bisque…nice large pieces of lobster that made it well worth the price. The fig and burrata salad though…about 1/3 of the lettuce was bad, brown and slimy…the saving aspect was the burrata which was simply incredible. The main courses overall were pleasant and plated well, we had the duck entree and the turkey pot pie. At the end, we were offered a complimentary dessert to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday, but politely declined as we were pretty full already. The check came, and cash out process was smooth. This may be pompous, but if the restaurant was willing to comp a dessert, I do feel it would’ve been a nice practice to instead comp a small plate or one of our cocktails in place of. Overall, this restaurant strives for a specific moderate-to-high level of expertise and quality; however, despite having the potential to do so, falls short.

    Dined here on a Tuesday night as most other restaurants in town are closed. 615pm reservation, restaurant was maybe 1/2 full. Waiter was attentive but it did take at least 10 minutes to get my drink, and about 20-25 minutes to get my burger. I had the Campfire Burger which was good, but nothing special. Also had a couple drinks on the 2nd floor at the bar- beautiful ambiance and historic setting. Bartender and all staff upstairs were exceptional.

    The facility and the service were very nice, much nicer than the food. We were disappointed with the overall flavor and the quality of the elements to our dishes. Very expensive considering what we were served to eat. The salad we had was nicely presented with the flavors repetitive. The paella was essentially a big bowl of rice, which cost $31.00.

    We celebrated our wedding anniversary and the staff made our night unforgettable. We were immediately greeted with a Prosecco toast, food was perfect, and the lobster bisque was probably the best one we’ve ever tried. Thank you for taking such good care of us, and creating a beautiful memory out of your special day! We surely will be back.

    Unfortunate that the restaurant took in way more customers than they could serve. Service disappeared after our order was placed. Chicken was terribly over cooked and we could not get anyone to help us - as we wanted to return it. Empty water glasses, waited twenty minutes with dirty plates trying to get our check to leave. Finally asked the bar tender if he could help us get our check and he rudely said “your server will help you” and basically told us not to bother him. Unfortunate situation. Nice place but terrible management. I am patient and understand staffing shortages but charging top dollar for food and then delivering an inferior product and experience is not acceptable.
