    Lobster Roll
    Hanna C.

    My husband I had lunch at The Pavilion during our stay at The Sagamore. The quality of food is mediocre at best, which seems to be the standard for most places in this area. The service we received here was far better than the other restaurants in the resort. For appetizer we had the Crab Cocktail. The crab that was served was no doubt from a can. It was no where near a lump crab cocktail . The ambiance was calm. We were 1 of 3 couples dining in the lower level of the covered deck. For our meals we ordered Clam Chowder, the Lobster Roll, Crispy Scallops, and a side of Fried Shrimp. The chowder was actually better than expected, probably the best of what we ordered. The lobster roll was just that. Not bad, but nothing special. The scallops and shrimp were both a bit greasy. Nothing that would make me want to return.

    Great food, friendly service, unbelievable views. The restaurant is part of the Sagamore Hotel. Highly recommended.

    I had a great dinner at The Pavillon during my most recent stay at The Sagamore. This restaurant doesn't just have views of the lake... you are literally eating on the lake. If you can, be sure to time your dinner during sunset. The menu is pricey (as expected at The Sagamore) but the portions are large and the seafood is incredibly fresh. My pasta had so much shrimp and scallops, both perfectly pan seared. The tomato sauce was light and flavorful and they were able to make it mild instead of spicy which was appreciated. My husband's snapper was also incredibly fresh and well prepared. Service is wonderful and cocktails are strong. You can call ahead for a reservation which I suggest. Because of Covid they are also only accommodating hotel guests which is nice. This is a great option for a classy dinner or a more casual lunch if you want to grab something like a lobster roll or burger. If you stay at The Sagamore I do suggest dining here at least once!

    Fra diavolo (both hit and a miss)

    Pavilion is the more casual restaurant on the property but has the best/most expansive views by being at the bottom of the property on a deck over the water. First come first serve, no reservations accepted. You don't know how badly I want to give 5 stars! -Service was fine -Drinks were tasty -Bread and butter was yummy But this review is really about the main course.. The fra diavolo dish is both a hit and a miss. The flavor of the actual seafood is delicious, crave worthy and done to near perfection. Not spicy (will talk about in a second) but for the seafood I didn't care as it was that good in flavor The problem? Pasta lacked flavor itself (but did taste fresh) and there was zero spice/peppers to make it an actual fra diavolo dish...if you didn't call it fra diavolo I guess this wouldn't matter as much :) $44 isn't cheap so why not go for the wow factor and at least give more mussels. It's the cheapest seafood for you to put on the plate, your sauté is amazing so why not add more so we say "wow"? (Even though it's an illusion because they are just mussels but it is all about the eye appeal and feeling a value!) Ya ya higher end property = high price and small portion but what a great feeling it would be to leave that unparalleled property view feeling like the dish was worth it and would get it again and again and make a point to return for it. What about being known for that dish guys?! Plus need I remind you this is your more casual restaurant here so keep the pretentious potions inside :) Your plate consists of: 1 split lobster tail- was plentiful and flavorful 3 shrimp- perfect size and flavor (would 2 more kill you?) 3 scallops- perfect size and flavor (would 1 more kill you?) 4 mussels- more great flavor! (Would 6-7 more kill you?) My mother also got this dish with the same seafood count so safe bet it is the usual portion... Come on, make me want to go back!!!! Good talk

    This will be our fourth year staying at the Sagamore and every year our first night we go and eat at the pavilion because it makes us feel like we're at home. Love the atmosphere love the food love the company.

    It was such a beautiful day Sunday, and ended up at the Sagamore. Decided to have lunch at the Pavilion. Perfect table with a million dollar view!!! Couldn't have asked for a more accommodating waiter. He was from South Africa and was very friendly. He had recommendations and actually went out of his way a few times for us. For starters we had the fried oysters, steamed clams, & seafood bisque. Everything was exceptional. The clam butter base was so good, we did a second order. I had the fish and chips. Light and fluffy. My brother raved about his mahi-mahi . My daughter loved the Lobster roll and it was packed high! Great drinks, carried s few of my husbands favorite scotches, and a no rush relaxed atmosphere . Can't wait to go in the fall at the height of peak season to capture some great foliage pictures as well! Great experience!

    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.

    We were staying in Lake George and took the ride up to Balton Landing we saw Cate's and figured…read morewe'd see if they could fit us! 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!!

    We enjoyed this restaurant when they were in Corinth and went out of our way to try out their new…read morelocation. Same great service, food and decent prices they had previously. We were hoping to get late morning breakfast but, missed the cutoff time so enjoyed a great lunch instead. This location of the restaurant at the golf course is huge compared to the small but very nice rustic wood bldg at their old location. Looks like you could have a heck of a party at this multi-large-room building. Many if the rooms are comfortable and give off a honey ambiance. Appears to have multiple bars as well. The chef puts a nice touch on making even a grilled chicken sandwich taste fabulous. I really don't think you can wrong here with whatever you order. Service is fast and genuinely friendly. We'll be back for sure. Hoping to try dinner here next time.

    Went here before a ride on Revolution Railroad and it was our best meal on our trip to Lak George…read morearea this year! We had the fried chicken sandwich, Mac and cheese with bbq pulled pork , the double smash burger with blue cheese and chili jam and the "cherry bomb" burger which was a bacon cheeseburger perfectly cooked with candied japlepenos and a fried potato ball filled with cheese on top. This is the type of place Gur Fieri needs to visit because they do a great job putting their own twist on everything and it all worked so well! Friendly staff too! We'll be back!
