   One of the reasons we decided to stay at the Inn was the reviews about the food. I do not believe that the restaurant has lived up to the reviews. The portions were modest and the presentation on the plates were fair. I had the halibut and it was dry and lacked flavor. The entrees were overpriced for the food served. Our waiter was great but there was no effort to make the dining experience nice. They could have put a tablecloth on the table and a candle would have added to the ambiance. Even if all those things were done, the food does not meet up to the reviews. I would not recommend this restaurant.

   The food was delicious and the service was great. The inn is lovely though the dining room facing the lake was not open. The only complaint was that the meal was very expensive.

   I was pleasantly surprised the food was so outstanding! Celebrated my wife's Birthday there. The Website does not give the food the credit it deserves, the food looks like the portions are small and the food tasteless. We took a chance anyway because of reviews. Our waitress was super friendly and attentive to all of us in the restaurant. Very Glad we went.

   My wife and I celebrated her birthday at the Erlowest restaurant. Everything about the dining experience was exceptional. The scallops appetizer was perfectly seared and the spinach salad ordered by my wife was one of the best she has had. We both ordered the fish of the day special which was Red Snapper which was very moist and tender and beautifully presented. Our server Alexis was friendly and attentive. The perfect finish was the vanilla bean Creme brûlée. It is one of our favorites and was outstanding.

    Vacation in Lake George. Beautiful restaurant, ordered the short ribs which were so so. My husband had the chicken breast which was surprisingly better than the short rib. Smaller sized portions for the price. The service was excellent as were the views. Their was a wedding going on in the reception room so the noise level was much louder than an average night. We did not mind but this might bother some for an upscale restaurant. Overall Nice experience but I don’t think I would visit again.

    I had high expectations for eating at the Inn at Erlowest and they did not disappoint. Everything we ate was delicious. We were staying at the Inn for the weekend so I made these reservations the first night. Nothing we ate that weekend in Lake George came close to comparing. Will definitely make sure to have dinner here again even if we don't book the Inn for our lodging.

    very charming layout, decor, building. Service & food were not perfect, but good enough to rate overall 5 stars. We were very amused by the amuse bouche - an olive tapenade which presented a heckuva lot like a cat hairball.

    We had a lovely anniversary dinner at the Inn. Our only complaint was that our desserts were overdone. We ordered chocolate lava cake however, when it arrived there was no lava. It was a decent chocolate cake but it was not lava cake. Otherwise, it was a great experience.

    This is a beautiful Inn known for fabulous weddings. The dinners we enjoyed were first rate. I had their special crab cake as an appetizer and the special fish entree, shark! Seasonal vegetables were delicious. Others loved their salads and scallop appetizers, short ribs and risotto. The staff were lovely. The gentleman who greeted us even gave us a tour of a private dining room with stained glass that can be used for about 14 people. Our waiter was new and made a few errors. He took my empty plate and asked if we would like coffee. We all said yes. He left with three empty plates just sitting there. He returned with the coffee quickly and then lifted the entree plates. We were all on vacation and having a great time. I live in NYC and think the prices were fair. I would go again.

    We had made reservations well in advance and were staying at the inn. The inn has two dining rooms. The hostess brought us into the smaller of the two. The room was dark and freezing cold. We asked if we could be seated in the other room, which was half empty. She checked with the manager, and told us it wasn't possible, but offered to bring us blankets. Blankets!? Really!? My husband had to go back up to our room to get me a jacket. The empty tables in the other room remained empty well into our meal. The food was delicious, but this whole unnecessary, ridiculous experience left a bad taste in my mouth!

    I had the special of the day - Sockeye Salmon, with wild rice and corn (cut off the cob). It was very tasty. It was presented well, and looked good. I would definitely have it again. The dining room is small and the tables are well spaced. The waiter, Adam was well versed in the specials of the day.

    For a restaurant rated as “fine gourmet dining”, this restaurant was a big disappointment in both price and quality. I am shocked that it was awarded 4 diamonds. The prices are high and the quantity and quality low. Seasonal vegetables consisted of 2 small sprigs of asparagus and 2 small sprigs of split carrots. The “Grilled Oscar’s Smoked Pork Chop” was about an inch thick, dry and tough, more like a dense, overcooked ham steak. The alleged mango glaze was imperceptible. The aged cheddar polenta was tasteless. My wife’s Snapper filet and rice pilaf was unseasoned and bland as well. No wine, no dessert-$104. The Inn is truly beautiful and has a wonderful lakeside view but stay away from the dinners there.

    My girlfriend and I enjoyed a wonderful meal for our anniversary. The whole package was perfect and romantic. The service was attentive and friendly. The food was out of this world good. And the meal was appropriately priced, if not a little undervalued, in my humble opinion. 10/10 would recommend and we will be back in the future!

    Priced for gourmet, quality lower than a Denny’s. If you have multiple steaks on the menu as well as the specials, you should know how to cook one. Ordered a filet to be prepared rare. Served a filet that was well done. The server and manager were exceptionally nice and apologetic for the food, but they should not have the burden of such poor quality. Wife’s filet was also overcooked, but hers was still edible. Not worth the price.
