We had high hopes for Cate's and made reservations for 6:30 p.m. We arrived about 10 minutes early…read moreand were a little surprised by the reaction when we checked in. Even though our table appeared ready, we were asked to wait. But they were very friendly. It would have been nice to be seated and simply advised that the server might need a few minutes, especially since all of the seating outside the restaurant was wet from the rain. Once seated on the patio, the atmosphere was pleasant and the food was largely enjoyable. Our server was friendly, but he seemed rushed throughout the evening. My impression was that the restaurant may have been short-staffed, as he was constantly moving and difficult to flag down when we needed something. The food was the highlight of the meal (except the cheesy garlic bread, it needed to be toasted). I loved the vodka pasta, which was rich and flavorful. My husband enjoyed the flavor of the osso buco, although he felt it was somewhat dry and overcooked. My son absolutely loved the ravioli and declared it his favorite part of the evening. Unfortunately, service continued to be a challenge. We wanted to order dessert, but despite several attempts, we couldn't get our server's attention. Eventually, the check arrived before we ever had the opportunity to ask about dessert, which left us feeling rushed and a little disappointed. Overall, there were definitely positives, particularly the food and the patio setting. However, with so many excellent dining options in the area, the inattentive service makes it hard to say we would have returned during this trip. We'd be willing to give Cate's another chance on a future visit, but we're hoping for a more attentive and relaxed dining experience next time.

The two ladies at the hostess stand were so welcoming, friendly and funny! There was a younger girl that sat us who was also friendly! Our waitress was super friendly and attentive! The bread was *chefs kiss* so delicious it was soft warm and melted in your mouth!! My daughter couldn't get enough! We got the kids pasta and sauce which my daughter loved, chicken parm (3 of us got) it was good but not the best we've ever had but I like the chicken thinner but by no means would I say it was bad would definitely order again if I went! Then my mother in law got the bolognese which she said was just okay but wouldn't get it again. The restaurant was very clean and well decorated!!

The evening got off to a great start with Fabian taking care of our table. He was the kind of server every restaurant hopes to have. Easy to talk to, attentive, and knowledgeable when we had questions about the menu. For appetizers, we went with the Hand Rolled Polpette, Risotto all'Astice e Gamberi, and the Crispy Mozzarella Tasting. The risotto was probably the favorite at our table, although the meatballs were a close second. For entrees, the Chicken Saltimbocca was excellent, the halibut was fresh and cooked perfectly, and the veal chop was easily one of the best dishes of the night. What nobody expected was that the kids' meals would be so great. All three children ordered the kids' steak, and every one of them was cooked beautifully. Their steaks were better than the steak I had the previous night at Tavern on the Lake, even though that one cost about 3x as much. Between the food, the service, and the setting overlooking Lake George, dinner ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. We'll definitely make a point of coming back next time.

These folk are crankin' out some really good pizza pies! The pizza I had yesterday was definitely…read moreone of the best pies I've had so far in the greater Capital Region. All locally sourced ingredients being used here and great attention to detail for each pizza. Their pies are 12 inches, but are definitely filling. I'd say most normal appetite eaters could split a pie with their bud and still be happy, though if you're a monster eater, you'd want one all to yourself most def. See my pics as they tell a great story about their pies and pricing. They're using a nifty wood fired oven that is totally transportable using their truck and they're running nice, hot temps in that oven. The stone brick decking in their oven runs so hot that you get a real nice char on the dough, but the inside is soft and chewy, just like I likes it! The pizza peel guy told me the oven was burning at about 650 degrees when he was roatating my pizza. These guys know how to use their oven and they keep a watchful eye to make sure rotation is happening just as it should, that way your pie gets the perfect char while maintaining that soft and chewy love on the inside! Wicked good. Had a pepperoni pie this time round and the owner told me he that he hand slices each pepperoni so each slice is super thick, which indeed they were. The hot, hot wood fire gives the pepperoni a great crisp/char on the edges that adds that extra dimension of flavor that all good roni pizzas have. Great tang in the pepperoni and the sauce offered a great balance to an overall great pizza. Abundant cheese tops it all off real, real nice. Follow them on Facebook to see where they'll be appearing next. They apparently can cater and do private events as well. Finally, they also accept credit cards using their cell phone card swiper and they can text you the receipt for your purchase. Looking forward to meeting up with these folks again down the road to get another great pie. I have a feeling they're going to be really busy as word gets out about the quality they're cranking out.

One entree was the crab cake, which was mostly filler and not crab, and came out so cold it was inedible. The second was the Baja fish tacos, which were cold and chewy (we also ordered them with fries which we never got). When the waiter came to check on how we were doing we let him know we were unhappy and he said he would get a manager, which he never did, and just brought the check. We asked for the manager to come over & he didn't apologize or offer a solution to rectify the situation he just kept saying "I hear you, I understand". Finally, when we asked him what was going to be done about the situation he said "I'll take half off of the bill", so we handed him the credit card with the original bill. He came back, gave us back our card and the new bill. The new bill did not have half taken off, it had half taken off of the two entrees we had an issue with. As we got up, the waiter came running over to say "we didn't run your card that's just the new bill". Overall, the food wasn't good but the service and management is what was worse. The manager was very dismissive and not helpful at all. I would steer clear of this restaurant at all costs !

Our server took a bit longer than usual to get to us, but once she did, the drinks came out fairly quickly. The food took quite a while, though again, the place was packed, so we understood. The shrimp appetizer was absolutely delicious and definitely the highlight of the meal! The rest of the food was good, but a little more average than we've experienced here before. Overall, Huddle is still a nice spot with a great location, and we'd certainly come back. Holiday weekends are no joke, and it seemed like everyone in Bolton Landing had the same idea we did! Hopefully they'll be able to keep up with the summer crowds a little better next time--and maybe convince Mother Nature to turn down the thermostat, too!

Bear's Cup is incredible. The bagels are so seeded and delicious! I'm from NYC and this was maybe better, they make a perfect breakfast sandwich, well balanced bagel to egg/cheese/sausage ratio. The pastries are also to die for, the bear claw and croissants are . If they were open everyday, I'd be in line everyday. Definitely come if you're in the area.
