Brown Swan is at a lovely resort. Restaurant with beautiful views of Schroon Lake and grounds. Eating on the porch is a treat. We were two couples. Three of us ordered short ribs which were outstanding. Remaining person ordered Maple Chicken which was excellent flavor but this man said it could have been larger pieces of chicken breast. He was happy to help his partner finish her short ribs. At the end, we were too full to order desert and very happy. I have had the trout during previous meals and it is always excellent. Service was excellent. Fast, friendly and efficient. My husband and I came frequently last year for brunch on the porch and it was always wonderful.

Overall, I recommend the restaurant. We ate for three strait days and nights and it was somewhat up and down. I believe they have only been operating for a couple years and are def trending up. Its not cheap and the service and food need match the price point.

I was visiting for a business event in another town. I chose this restaurant because it accepted reservations, while others did not. Our server was very busy, and a different staff member delivered our ordered food. Meals are served in wide, shallow bowls rather than typical plates. The sea of risotto dwarfed my salmon, and the three asparagus spears looked lonely. The meal was good, although I couldn't rate the risotto because I avoid starch. I knew it was there and didn't request anything different. The filet was cooked as requested. The GF short ribs smelled amazing as they were carried past our table. I confess a tinge of buyer's remorse. Next time? The ambiance was charming. Live entertainment in the bar area contributed to the background noise; the atmosphere was quiet without it. The location and the lake are beautiful.
The Brown SwanResponded on May 12, 2025
Thank you for dining with us and for sharing such thoughtful feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the ambiance, the beautiful lakeside setting, and that your filet was cooked to your liking. We appreciate your notes on presentation and portioning, and will be sure to pass that along to our culinary team. It’s always our goal to deliver both memorable flavors and a balanced plate. We do hope you’ll return and try those short ribs next time—they’ve become a guest favorite for good reason!

Scallops were not made as described on menu. Salmon was tiny. On the good side filet mignon was excellent.
The Brown SwanResponded on April 25, 2025
Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear the scallops and salmon didn’t meet expectations, and we appreciate you letting us know. We’re glad you enjoyed the filet mignon, and we’ll be sure to share your comments with our culinary team. Please reach out directly—we’d love the chance to make it right.

Our table was ready as soon as we arrived. The staff was very attentive. The food was delicious and plentiful. It was very easy to have a conversation as the tables were spaced nicely apart. It was a lovely way to spend Easter.

Waitress was friendly and courteous. Food was fabulous. But the experience was disjointed. Service to get drinks, apps, food, checks was slow and labored. Almost 3 hours for dinner….. Yes we had a big party but we were the only table in the place for the majority of the night. Not sure the disconnect? Will try it again and hope for better timing!
The Brown SwanResponded on March 14, 2025
Thank you for your honest feedback! We're so glad you enjoyed the food and friendly service, but we’re sorry to hear that the timing of your meal was not as smooth as it should have been. We appreciate your patience and will share this with our team to improve the experience. We truly value your willingness to give us another try and look forward to providing a more seamless visit next time!
