    Ice cream sundae with a view.
    Angela D.

    Excellent time here. Our server Jason S. was top notch! The views are wonderful and everything about our dinner was perfect. We had a Caesar salad to start and that was very fresh and light with except cheese. Then we both had the chicken quesadillas and they were full of chicken and cheese: probably the best non-Mexican ones I've ever had! We topped off the evening off with a little ice cream sundae. Perfect evening if you don't want to trek down to town while staying at the Crown hotel. There is also a nice fireplace and a bar area.

We spent the week in Lake Placid for Spring Break, and we could not have been more happy to find this place, especially since we had our dog with us. Lisa G's feels like the kind of place you wish you had back home. We sat out on the porch with a perfect view of the water and our golden retriever happily at our feet. That alone would have been enough, but the food made sure we stayed awhile. We started with the wings. These are true buffalo wings. Not breaded, just well sauced and done right. We also ordered the cheese treat and it completely stole the show. Feta, spices, and jalapenos over fresh arugula, scooped onto toasted bread. It is one of those dishes where you keep saying just one more bite until suddenly it is gone. For dinner we tried the shrimp tacos, which have quite a reputation. As Texas people we were a little unsure about the pineapple salsa, but it works. Bright and just sweet enough. The slaw is mellow and tangy and ties everything together in a way that feels thoughtful rather than trendy. The fish and fries surprised us the most. Easily the best fish and chips we have had in years. Real haddock with a light crisp fry and a rich house made tartar sauce that does not play second fiddle. Chance said he usually only likes fish and chips for the fried part, but here he actually liked the fish itself. That tells you everything. The fries are the kind you keep reaching for long after you are full. Our teen ordered the burger and it disappeared before we could negotiate a bite. Former picky eaters do not lie. We tried the Julian cocktail, which drinks like a confident mai tai. The riesling missed the mark a bit. Next time we would go for the sauvignon blanc or the house white. The service felt like the best version of small town hospitality. Warm, easy, and full of good local recommendations. Our pup loved it. We loved it. We will be back. --Chance and Becky All Ahead Slow

Patio looked completely empty and they weren't super busy. I didn't see signs suggesting there was an event so my guess is staffing issues? Service was great.

Their menu is loaded with all sorts of BBQ style food, as well as steaks and some seafood too. The décor is nice, cozy, and dimly lit. I started with their wings with the Ghost Pepper BBQ sauce on them - They were REALLY GOOD! Meaty wings, great crunch and smokey flavor and that BBQ sauce was so tasty! Next up was to try an order of their brisket nachos. They came out pretty quick and looked nice. They're definitely huge and I wasn't that hungry, so I really wanted to pick the good stuff, like the brisket and many of the toppings and that was all pretty good. The brisket I had was excellent! It had a nice bark and good smoke, yet was moist. Very nice experience, a place I'd definitely return to for another meal or even a drink at the bar!

While the area is a bit small, any minor inconvenience quickly fades into the background once you see the fantastic views of the lake. My wife and daughter ordered the pasta carbonara, and my son decided on the chicken and shrimp over linguini. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals. I ordered the veal parmesan with angel hair pasta--truth be told, the pasta was a bit overdone, but the veal itself was tasty, as was the marinara sauce. Service was great from start to finish--attentive and accompanied by a smile. Tip on parking: It's metered street parking and can be tough to find a spot, so give yourself some time to park before your meal! If you find the information useful or like the pictures, drop a comment.

I'd actually say my favorite dish was their homemade bread with garlic dipping sauce, it was absolutely delicious. We were able to get a seat at the outside patio overlooking the lake which was great. The service was decent, although they rushed us out so they could turnover the table to the next guests.

Great spot for a casual meal--I would definitely go back when in Lake Placid! Service is okay. Additional Information: 1. Metered parking on the street. Just a suggestion, download the app, it makes payment easy and a simpler way to extend time. 2. There is also a metered lot across the street. Highly recommended. 3. There is a large indoor eating area and bar. 4. There is a patio dining area as well. 5. No lake view from the patio. If you find the information useful or like the pictures, drop a comment.

I ordered the lobster tacos, I was asked fries or chips I said fries no salt he said they come into the restaurant seasoned. I said chips then he said they also seasoned I can substitute salad. Was surprised when the salad came out and it was in its own dish not on the side of the plate. There was a charge of $3 dollars for the salad on the bill I questioned the server and he said there is a fee for substitutions it is stated in the menu. My menu was closed when I placed the order. I didn't ask he told me he can substitute. When he told me he can substitute he should have mentioned that there was a fee.

Very nice people, and great service, granted we were only 1 of a few tables at the time. Place is more of a bar than a formal restaurant, which I'm used to for similar spots. Plenty of TVs to watch World Cup. Never had pisco before, so got the Amazonas cocktail to try it. It was excellent and not too fruity! Really cool presentation too in a tall glass. They were out of some beers (owners were away to stock up) and so I got the pilsen callao and which was a serviceable light lager. My lomo saltado was up there with the best I've had. I thought it was a bit pricey, however they used really good skirt steak instead of the usual cheap beef. Fries were good, seasoning was on point, and plenty of rice. Could've used a bit more peppers and onions but such is life. My son liked his fries and my wife liked her tallarin. Would come here again in a heartbeat honestly just because I liked the place and the people, but the food being great is a huge plus. Not what you'd think of looking literally across from the Olympic museum, but a really good find!

No crust from baking in a metal pan and almost no calamari. Service was nice, good pisco sour and a nice Merlot. Ambience is disjointed. Trying to be a sports bar with TVs misaligned and off tuned.
