    Love this local place. Good vibes, cheap drinks, and shuffleboard. Tip the bartenders generously and make some friends while there.

    Pros: Our waitress was nice. Good selection of beers…read more Cons: The restaurant had no vegan entrées, despite what I was told earlier by the owner. My wife and I were in town on vacation, and we were looking for a restaurant that had some vegan options. I messaged the restaurant via their Facebook page to ask if they had anything vegan on the menu. I received this response: "Hi there! We can definitely accommodate! The ramen is vegan, but we are tweaking the menu that is posted online so there may be several more options than not posted. But, we can also create something special on the fly! Thanks so much for coming in!" As it turns out, though, the curry ramen was made with chicken stock, according to our waitress. She went to talk to the chef to see if he could recommend anything. My wife and I could hear their conversation, and we clearly heard the chef say, "I got nothing for them". Really? A chef in a nice restaurant couldn't come up with anything vegan, not even some pasta with marinara or a quick stir-fry? My wife and I were there early, right around 5:00 PM, and there was literally no one else in the restaurant, so it's not like the kitchen was busy. Surely the chef could have whipped-up something vegan if he wanted to. The waitress was very nice and quite apologetic. My wife and I ordered drinks and then went down the street to another restaurant that had two vegan options on the menu. I'm giving barVino two stars just because the waitress was really nice to us, and it wasn't her fault.

We had scoped out local restaurants before hand and loved the reviews. We opted to sit at the bar, because that's how we roll! We grabbed a couple delicious ciders while we looked at the menu. A couple of appetizers was just what we needed. In the other reviews, someone said the carrots were amazing. They did not disappoint! We also ordered the poppers and the flavors were delicious!

    We loved our lodging experience and I have to give a great shoutout for the dining experience…read more Breakfast every day. For the days they aren't open for lunch they have a sandwich bar + paper bags so you can take lunch with you. It's good quality sandwich stuff too - ham , turkey , roast beef; Cheddar , American ; 3 different types of breads. And condiments! Dinner reservations should be made in advance if you want to eat in the 5-6 range. We were here often since it was easier. We enjoyed our meals. Likely since it was close to Labor Day their kitchen staff was dwindling (and not sure Covid has done to their restaurant staff experience in general) so patience is everything. When we visited there was one cook. Their burgers and salads and soups and fries and kids meals are all very good. They have great beer / wine selections. There's no point to drive an hour away to eat every night when you have a great place right there. But definitely don't forget to make reservations :)

    My family and I are staying on Schroon Lake and we were looking for a nice place to have dinner…read more The restaurant is very nice inside and has an awesome view of the Adirondack mountains behind it. The waiter was very friendly, attentive, and personable. Although the menu is very limited, all seven in our party found something appealing to order. The appetizers and dinners arrived in a timely manner. The food was absolutely delicious. The thick cut, locally sourced pork chops were amazing. Everyone enjoyed their meals. The prices aren't cheap, but the great food, drink, staff and atmosphere made it worth it!

    The worst food my family has ever had as a collective experience…read more Came here during a trip to Long Lake. This place has the best ratings for local restaurants and the Long Lake hotel was quite expensive. Wish we would have went there. Ordered a pound of wings for appetizer for table. Eating them along made me wish I didn't come. All the bones of the chicken broke as we ate them, and they were rubbery as hell. Pretty sure they were cooked from frozen, and they tasted disgusting. I got the full rack of ribs. They were OK flavor wise, but the meat was tough and had to be pulled from the bone because it wasn't soft. The "sauce" that came with it was gross. My older son ordered the pulled pork Mac and cheese. He said it was disgusting and could barely finish it. He said it tasted old and microwaved. My youngest got the kid's pasta. The sauce tasted like straight up vodka and was weirdly watery. He enjoyed his "homemade" Mac and cheese, though I'm not sure how homemade it was. Tasted like boxed Mac with shredded cheese added. Finally, my wife had the feta cheese dip and miso soup. The miso soup was fine, she said, but the feta dip--or white water, as she called it--was also disgusting. And to top if off, we paid $112 to eat what we did. We will NEVER be back to this place. Try elsewhere. This place will only disappoint.

Our waitress was kind and made suggestions of what she liked on the menu. We were informed that there were no specials, but also that several items were not available. This was surprising to me as it was a Saturday night and had just opened. We placed our orders and were given bread. The bread pieces were cute into tiny triangles and when it was finished, I requested another basket but was told that it would cost us $3. As a group of 8 people, we should have been given 2 baskets of bread from the start. We were spending enough money on drinks and dinner that the restaurant could have provided a second basket of bread. Our meals arrived and there was a mistake with 2 orders. One person had to wait a long time to receive their meal while the rest of the party had theirs. We inquired with the waitress about the meal and that's when we found out that because of the mixup, they had to make a new order for him. As for the food, 4 of our party ordered the duck and enjoyed it. The rice pilaf tasted like rice cooked in bullion and that's it. My sister ordered the chipotle tortellini and enjoyed it. I ordered the broiled scallops which were supposed to be sea scallops but were actually bay scallops and pretty disappointing. In all, the experience was mediocre. I think it could be a decent restaurant if more effort was made to make it great instead of just ok.
