i've been coming to lake george since i was a child and this was 100% the best food i've had here and 1000% the best service i've ever had here. servers were amazing and the owner is even better. PLEASE do yourself a favor and stop by read more

We have been there several times and love everything about it: the staff's attention to details- and attentiveness- the décor; music choices; meeting the owner, Dave, and the manager, Earl; and of course, the food and wine! Yes, it is more expensive than the other restaurants in Bolton, but please remember, the food is superior, AND they have to get daily fresh seafood and meat to an upstate hamlet. read more

Disappointing. $88 for lobster tails and was rushed out after one hour. I made a reservation for 12 and they seated us at two separate tables. Then they turned the water off read more

This place was highly recommended by a staff member at the Sagamore and so glad we dined here. The fish was cooked to perfection and plated with delicious accompaniments hence the 5 stars. The manager or owner was super friendly and welcoming as were his staff. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was recently renovated and lends to a nice nautical theme right amid a mountain town.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]My only recommendation is for silverware to be refreshed rather than asking diners to use the same as used for appetizers.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would also invest in proper fish silverware. The chef does magic with the fish and the serving should not take away from it. I would return. read more

Beyond the Sea - Seabass and lobster risotto - Seafood Near Me - Bolton Landing, New York

We had a very disappointing experience, largely because of Jason, the bartender. Throughout our visit, he came across as dismissive toward the women in our group while giving much more attention to the men. It felt like the men were acknowledged and served, while the women were largely ignored. He also seemed more interested in drinking behind the bar and creating conflict with guests than providing good customer service. When we asked if he could put our happy hour drinks on one check so we could pay cash, he handled the request poorly instead of simply explaining the policy. After we ordered Clase Azul shots, his attitude noticeably changed--but only toward the two men in our group. The women still received little attention, which made the experience feel even more uncomfortable. To make matters worse, one of the women in our group was given a noticeably smaller pour than everyone else. Great bartenders make everyone feel welcome and treat guests equally. Unfortunately, that wasn't our experience with Jason, and it left a very negative impression. We won't be returning. read more

We've been there a couple of times, and our last meal may have been one of the better seafood meals we ever had. Sea bass, lobster ravioli and scallops all amazing, and delicious dessert. Also had a great summer bourbon drink. Waiter was amazing, and the owner checked in as well. All in all a great experience and worth the price. read more

My appetizer of Lobster Bisque was on the watery side, not thick at all. It had equal amounts on minced lobster and minced bacon in it. Meh. I had the Chicken Cordon Blue special as my main. On the dry side. And the prices are very premium. read more

This is the most expensive restaurant we have been to. And worth every penny. It can be difficult to reserve a table for the time you would like. And very much worth the effort. It is simply the best. Our server, Amanda, was professional and knowledgeable and very friendly. The food was out of this world. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is comfortable and busy and loud and happy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We love it. read more

Stopped in for drinks on Friday night. Had the pleasure of meeting Matt the bartender, and Earl the host. While we didn't eat, the service & hospitality was off the charts.

This is a great restaurant!! The sea bass is amazing and the lobster ravioli and second to none! Our server Meghan was pleasant efficient and friendly! The restaurant is very customer oriented and the owners take an active role in the menu and food, they actually care about their guests!

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a beautiful restaurant and definitely the nicest in Bolton Landing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a great atmosphere - they had a young lady singing live music with a guitar on Thursday night and the place was packed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat outside and it was just lovely.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Drinks were perfect and well made - I had the Aperol spritz and hubby had an old fashioned. Mine was light, refreshing and balanced. We then ordered a dozen raw oysters - they were tasty and sweet, but small. I had the Chilean sea bass which was served with a lobster risotto kind of thing and a pea sauce. It was cooked very nicely but needed a bit of salt, and it wasn't as hot as I would have liked - it was even slightly cold in the center. Hubby's ribeye steak was absolutely perfect, and their homemade steak sauce is sweet and savory and quite yummy. Mashed potatoes and veggies were perfect. Overall, a very lovely meal, and I would definitely return. read more

Lively place walking distance to Sagamore. We had the Calamari App $20, Shrimp cocktail $22 (3 colossal shrimp), bread $7. For entrees we had lobster Ravioli (north of $60), tuna $44, and ordered an off menu burger w bacon $25. The Bar in the other room looked really cozy and fun. Bar tender gave us a big hello as we walked in and out which was nice. The calamari app is mouth watering delish and a must with this fried cherry peppers and tasty dipping sauce. My personal option is bread should be included as charging $7 is like adding 2 dollars to each of our entree prices making them even more out of hand. The tuna entree was tasty with TONS and TONS of very fresh tuna @ $42 not unreasonable for a vacation town. I thought the lobster ravioli missed the mark being priced so high north of $60 for may 15 year old however prices nationally are so out of hand I don't necessarily blame them. My advice would be to skip it and try the salmon which is in the $42 range. I was very happy they let us order an off the menu burger for my ten year old or I would have cried if he ordered a $60 lobster ravioli. Burger was excellent. The hostess at the front door was a bit rude as we walking in which kind of set the mood for not the best evening. I sometimes wish people who will be snotty just not go into customer service positions and would instead go work in an office somewhere where they do not interact with people. The hostess should be delightful, cheeriy and helpful....not submissive and passive aggressive. This does not reflect on the owner who I hear is delightful. Overall excellent food but they may have to move from $$-$$$ to $$$-$$$$ now that prices are 1/3 higher than what is reflected in the menu in an old yelp photo I saw. read more

We had a wonderful dining experience at Beyond the Sea on Sept 11th [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is absolutely beautiful-warm, inviting, and thoughtfully designed to create a relaxing setting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server Jason was attentive and added so much to the evening with a charming personality and genuine care for the details. The combination of the ambiance, delicious food and the excellent service made the experience truly memorable. A huge thank-you to the kind stranger who picked up our dinner check tonight.

Ten stars! We were celebrating my wife's birthday and our server Ray made the night extra special. He was knowledgeable, personable, entertaining (he came out singing while balancing the cake and lit candle on his head!). The four of us shared the pork chop, chilean sea bass, jerk shrimp, clam chowder, scallops, burrata. Flawless in food prep, quality, timing and service! Thank you Ray and the staff for a perfect birthday dinner! Beyond the Sea is pricey but hands down the best restaurant in Lake George. read more

This has been the best restaurant I've experienced in the area in the last ten years of coming up for the Warrensburg Town Wide Garage Sale. My party tried to go to a place we've been before at Lake George without reservations and that was a no go. Everyone browsing the Glen Falls area I changed the search north and found here. Was able to make an evening reservation and even got in 15 minutes early. We all ordered what we wanted and raved the entire time how good the food is, they even have a good cup of coffee. Ignore the price, treat yourself to a delicious meal it's worth it. read more

I would describe this place as quality gourmet food with a cute ambience. For starters I got the beef tartare and the clam chowder soup of the day. The beef tartare was definitely disappointing, but what made up for it was the hash brown underneath it. It was supposed to have some truffle sauce to it, but it tasted nothing like truffle. The beef tartare should've been minced a lot more as it was super chunky and there was no gooey texture usually when you crack an egg on it. I would not recommend getting that dish. The soup of the day was really good. It had a generous serving of lobster in it as well. It was not to creamy, and it was just right. For the entrée I got the Maine lobster ravioli. Now this was the main star of the meal. The pasta was so fresh it melted in your mouth. My favorite part was probably the prosciutto flakes as it gave a nice salty taste to the dish. Inside the ravioli was more lobster as I was surprised since they already gave half a lobster tail on top. The sauce was so good. I could've licked the plate if I wasn't in public. For dessert I got the crème brûlée I would not get this as the sugar was definitely too torched. Meaning that usually when you hit the top of it with your spoon lightly all of the sugar that is crystallize breaks really easily into 1 million chunks. However, this was so hard to break apart. I was literally stabbing it and trying to cut it with a spoon, so don't get that if you had crembrule before. Don't get me the wrong. The custard was good. It was just the crystallize sugar ruined it and that's usually is the best part for me. read more

Food was good. Service was good. I think the only complaint I have is when they tell you the special's and do not tell you the price. Customer at next table was shocked when he got the bill. read more

Beyond the Sea is amazing! If you are in the area do not miss it! Expert chef cooking the most amazing meals. We had six in our party so the meals were varied from steak to seafood. It was all cooked and prepared perfectly... And frankly, we are not easy judges, so these guys were over the top amazing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Additionally, the ambience is beautiful[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], and the service was equally amazing. The owners Dave and Mary as well as the manager Earl were very very attentive checking not just with us but every table in the house to make sure everything was to their liking. If I could give more than five stars, I would this place was truly amazing do not miss it! read more

Ordered takeout and loved it. Great burger and personal pizzas. Kind staff. Would definitely come back on my next trip to lake George.

Overpriced, price gouging - $62 pasta dish 5 ravioli half lobster tail - no lobster flavor at all - and a tablespoon of spinach included. Terrible. Pork chop special very good but barely any mashed potatoes on plate and 1 sprig of a broccoli on the plate. $54 for a pork chop. Raised liquor prices - feeling gauged - won't be returning after being customers when they first opened, sad to say. read more

Drove past this place a couple times during my stay at LG, thought it was interesting and finally had the opportunity this evening to eat here. OMG, so good. Waitress was so cute and very personable, wish her lots of luck in med school! She helped guide us to the perfect meals for each of us. The four of us were not disappointed all. Desserts were perfect as well. BTW, the key lime pie was amazing just be aware of the exploding graham cracker crust, it shattered and went everywhere, lol. Decor was interesting, loved the tree in the center of dining room as well as all the canoes. A bit in the pricey side, probably the most expensive place we are on this trip but well worth it. read more

Where to start. Tuesday night 7:30 reservation, party of 6, my sons 14th birthday. This was the day after labor day and there was only one other table. Our server Julie couldn't have been less happy about having to work. Slow on drinks, (food before drinks is terrible) inattentive, stick up the you know. Fine whatever, but with two tables you'd think you would give extra attention and a smile to at least make a good tip from a party of six. Back to Julie in a minute. Now the food. We ordered the korean pork belly the "artisan bread" (for 7$ bucks) and the filet tartare to start. Pork belly was good , sweet and a bit of spice but was inconsistent,. One piece very tender the other chewy. The tartare lacked seasoning and overall a bit bland. You also got just two small crostini with it. Then my wife and I shared the wedge. Not sure why it was overloaded with figs as they sure didnt add Anything to it. Looking at the menu before we went we could already tell it was well overpriced. Avg entree was about $60. But we were told it was really good and I dont mind paying at all if its good food AND good service. Entrees -- 3 kids filet entrees. All cooked to a good med rare. One swordfish special for bday boy. Two small pieces about 1/4 thick and cooked to death. I had the $60 scallop dish. The 4 scallops were cooked ok, slightly not seared enough but passable. My risotto was ok as well except the stringy vegetables on top just didnt go well with it. They weren't needed. My wife had the chilean sea bass with lobster risotto with pea emulsion. Fish was cooked great but lacked seasoning (again). However there was no lobster in the risotto or there was no risotto in the lobster as it was hard to tell as it all sat in the bowl of pea soup. Needless to say my wife told the hostess when she asked how it was and she said that she really did not enjoy the dish which she picked at. We also mentioned the not so great service from Julie. . When we got the $500 bill the sea bass was still on bill, so we called the hostess over and asked if we ate it. My wife said do you want to go back to the kitchen and look? She eventually took it off. [[HIGHLIGHT]]A slow night at the restaurant doesnt mean the whole place takes the night off especially when you are charging those prices.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This isnt applebees with teens working and wanted to get out of work and hang with their friends. Our experience was overpriced mediocre food, not good service. And we made the reservation on OpenTable. I noticed two hours later that they canceled our reservations so we cannot review them on OpenTable hence why I put my review on yelp but I'll be contacting them and I'll be copying and pasting this review unopenable as well. read more

Our trip to Bolton Landing always includes a stop at Beyond the Sea, and always more than one. Dine at the bar, you'll be greeted and served with the same welcoming service as you would in the dinning room. The menu, delicious. Wine list perfect and they always have my preferred scotch which isn't available everywhere in the Lake George area. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The aesthetics of the restaurant is classy and inviting without feeling too stuffy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Make it a point to visit if you're in the area. read more

If you see one review of Beyond the sea, let it be this one. First time in Bolton Landing, and had a different dinner reservation booked. Strolled by Beyond the sea during a walk through town, and decided to cancel our original reservation, to switch here instead, and BOY are we glad we did. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance, 10/10, the service, 10/10, the food? 10/10.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our waiter Ray brought such great energy, great drinks and recommended every dish we ordered (sorry to all who don't get here for the pork chop special but it was unbelievable). The owner goes table to table with a great attitude and unmatched energy. If you are in town for a bite, this is the only place I would come back for dinner. read more

Wow, if you are ever in the area, definitely check them out. The food is absolutely amazing and the service is even better. The owner of the place even stopped by to say hello. We came in a large group (10 girls) with reservations. They weren't quite ready for us yet, as we did come early, but grabbed drinks, went to their back patio area and got in some nice photos. It didn't take them long to seat us, and when we came back inside, found out we had this very nice private area. Very accommodating as being in a large group, we asked for 4 different checks. We did make it easy for them and sat together. My check included the calamari, scallops, and sea bass. Oh man, was everything so flavorful. Cheers to the chef I will surely be back read more

Beyond the Sea - Scallops - Seafood Near Me - Bolton Landing, New York

What aspect of this restaurant is not to like? The restaurant ambience is warm and inviting with a separate lively bar. The hostess and wait staff are professionals focused on customer satisfaction. We found our waiter, Winston, friendly, helpful, and attentive. Perhaps the most impressive part of the customer interaction was from the owner, David. He was fun to speak with and gave great recommendations on food and wine. We followed his suggestions and were not disappointed. David made a big contribution to our great evening. We began with cocktails and shared the burrata salad. A unique take with cherries and so good. Just enough for two. Following David's (and Matt at The Sagamore) we had the Seabass and the surf and turf special (ribeye with cold water lobster tail). The Seabass was perfectly prepared and so flavorful! The S&T special was also perfectly prepared, but at $95 I thought overpriced. The vegetables were crisp as they should be, the steak a perfect medium rare, and the 6oz tail tender and flavorful. The ribeye was thin and seemed more like 12oz vs the menu 16oz advertised, but just an experienced guess. It was tender but the flavor a bit bland as it did not seemed seasoned and no salt/pepper on the tables. The ribeye dish normally is over a bed of mashed potatoes but I had asked David for a non potato option and he came up with a delicious turnip purée. So good I told him it should be a regular option. For dessert we had the cheesecake. It's not homemade but it was fantastic. A great end to a great evening. read more

My husband and I were driving by this restaurant after hiking along Lake George, thus we were not dressed for an evening out. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant looked cute and inviting and rather casual, so we decided to stop and eat an early dinner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat on the terrace, because the inside of the restaurant was freezing cold.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our waiter was attentive and super nice. We ordered oysters and drinks which were delicious. Our main course would be lobster ravioli with lobster and my husband had ordered surf and turf. Now to the bad, our main course took for ever to arrive. We probably waited an hour for our meal. Finally my husband went inside to ask if they had forgotten us or what. The food finally arrived. My husband loved his, mine however was a dinky piece of lobster and 4 or five ravioli, not plated well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]When we left we saw that the restaurant was well attended, so my advice, don't sit outside if you want to be served in a timely manner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We refrained from complaining to the waiter, because this is fault of the management read more

Our family had a very pleasant dinner at Beyond the Sea. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant's atmosphere is warm and relaxing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The entire staff were attentive and friendly - we were made to feel at home. Jason (the bar tender) stopped by to check on us, and we had a pleasant bit of conversation with him. The manager (Earl) was affable and available, ensuring that we had everything we needed. Service like this is rare and needs to be applauded. The food was expertly prepared and it was apparent that it was of the highest quality (I had the veal chop special, which was a savory treat. My son's hamburger elicited moans of delight from him - seriously - causing him to announce that it was the very best burger he had ever had). Portions were generous and everyone in our party were extremely satisfied with their dishes. Only caveats were that we had to ask for bread for the table and drinks took some time to arrive - all in all rather negligible issues far outweighed by the other aspects of our dining experience. We cannot wait to go back. read more

The Bombay Sapphire martini was very good and the server mentioned that he had made it himself. But when the bill came, the price was $27 - I told him that this was the most expensive martini in my life. He corrected the price to $16 which it probably should have been right away. Why I still left a tip is beyond me. read more

This was a really nice find in Bolton Landing. Living on the coast my entire life, we are certainly spoiled by fresh seafood, but these days, that is no longer a requirement. This place does fish and it does it well! Service was extremely attentive and the food was so good! We started with the calamari and the "When in Rome" salad - Despite the number of places that serve calamari, its not always good - so easy to overcook. Not here. Perfectly cooked and not at all heavy or greasy. And the Truffle Lemon aioli was to die for! The salad was super fresh and had a nice array of greens, artichokes and other veggies. For Entrees we got the lobster ravioli and the seafood bucatini. The ravioli were delicious and had a huge hunk of claw meat in the center of the dish. Super fresh seafood here, and especially so in the bucatini. Scallops are another seafood that is easy to overcook - not here. Nailed it. So I'm sure you are wondering - why only 4 stars? Great food, great service? We just felt that the red wine list could be a little more tailored towards seafood. Now its also the offseason so that could have been part of it, but please don't let my wine snobbery change your mind. When in the region - make a reservation and GO!!!!!! read more

I am taking a star away for ambience but the food was amazing (10 stars!!). We had the salmon and the sea bass and it was one of the yummiest preparations I have had so far. Skip on cocktails and instead go to 'the gem' that's a block away. But if you are in the mood for seafood definitely check out this spot! Attentive staff as well :) read more

If you've been to Bolton Landing, you probably know that the food scene leaves a lot to be desired. For the price, the food is very mediocre. We tried both the lobster ravioli and scallops. The ravioli was a little too fishy giving the impression it was not very fresh. The scallops were on the saltier side. For dessert, we tried the flourless chocolate cake. It was decent but had a mysterious hint of coconut flavoring. Overall, service was ok but a little odd, when I asked a question on the wine list the response was "I don't know, I'm only 16 and a half." It took me a minute to realize that was the servers age and she was not going to help. Given the limited dining options, it might be fine to check out but wouldn't be at the top of my list anytime soon. read more

What a wonderful experience! First off our server, Christin was adorable, personable and FUN. I am so happy to have met her and appreciated her attentive service. She never hovered but always seemed to be there for us. The menu is expansive and impressive. We ordered the calamari to start, and it was crispy and spicy. I loved it! The Caesar salad was split between us and was fresh, crisp, and creamy. We loved it. As for entrees, I ordered the seared tuna and besides the over saltiness of the entire entree, it was cooked well. My date ordered the surf and turf special. The lobster was cooked to perfection! We loved it. The turf was an 8 oz filet Mignon. It was not as soft and tender as one would hope. The risotto underneath was perfect. This place, over all, was great. The only real con was the sodium content. The entrees could use less salt content read more
