We ordered the Arugula Roasted Beet salad. The arugula was super fresh and good, however, it overpowered the beets which were thin and underrepresented. We also enjoyed a shrimp cocktail which was very good. For mains we had the roasted duck breast and the braised short ribs. The duck breast was a bit more well done than we normally have preferred, but was delicious, tender and moist. The short ribs were melt-in-your mouth perfect. We both accompanied the mains with a glass of red wine (one of the Hout-Plaisance and one of the Pessac Leognan). For desert we tried the carrot cake and the peanut butter pie. The carrot cake was good but the peanut butter pie was heavenly. In all a very well prepared dinner. However, we expected more creativity from the chef compared to other meals we have enjoyed in the region. Pricing was on the high side.

I said you browse; I'll stand out here in the shade. Then I spied the sign for Chateau on the Lake, which said they were open for Happy Hour between 2:00pm and 5:00pm. So, I sauntered down Allens Alley towards the Chateau. Place was empty, except for the bartender. I announced I was here for Happy Hour, but was informed it's not really a Happy Hour, it's just that bar is open for business. Okay, I'll have a Heineken ($8). Then I went out back, sat in the shade, enjoyed my beer, looked at beautiful Lake George, and waited for the wife to call and say she was done browsing.

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 !

We were seated on the covered porch, which was nice, but even in the shade it was pretty warm. It was a busy holiday weekend, so we expected a little extra waiting. 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!

We made reservations, which I highly recommend, and…read morechose it for my husband's 50th birthday celebration after another restaurant at the resort had completely missed the occasion the night before. No acknowledgment, candle, or mention of his birthday despite it being noted, so our expectations were modest. From the moment we arrived and were served cucumber water that was VERY refreshing, the Gem delivered a much better experience. The atmosphere was lively and inviting, and our server was friendly, attentive, and genuinely engaged throughout the meal. The cocktail menu was creative and fun. While I felt the pours were a bit shallow for $18-$20 drinks, and the oversized ice cubes seemed to take up a lot of glass real estate, the drinks themselves were well-made and enjoyable. The food was the star of the evening. Everything we ordered was delicious, and it was easily one of our better meals during the trip. When it came time for dessert, we asked if they could add a candle so we could celebrate my husband's birthday. Unfortunately, the dessert station had already closed, leaving bread pudding as the only option available. While that was a bit disappointing, our server went out of their way to make the moment special by bringing over a mini mint cordial. There was still no candle, but the thoughtful gesture was genuinely appreciated and meant far more than a scripted birthday acknowledgement. The Gem struck a great balance between good food, a fun atmosphere, and attentive service. Our only regret is that we didn't have another day to try the outdoor seating area in the back, which looked fantastic. Maybe next time!

    Most Americans generally associate slow-cooked, wood-smoked meat with the southern regions of these…read moreUnited States. Finding respectable barbecue in upstate New York requires a slight adjustment of geographic expectations. The Gem, located in Bolton Landing, attempts this feat with a wood-fired smoker and an ambitious cocktail program. My wife ordered the smoked chicken wings and a side salad. The wings possessed a deep smoky flavor and properly rendered skin. The salad performed its minimal duties without incident. My youngest son consumed the kids cheese fries. They were sufficient to satisfy an 11 year old's palate, though underwhelming when subjected to adult inspection. I selected the brisket, which spent hours absorbing hardwood smoke. The flavor was rich and beefy, though the cut was somewhat leaner than I prefer. In my experience, truly magnificent brisket requires a generous layer of rendered fat to achieve complete structural tenderness. This was good, but it was not that. The genuine masterpiece at our table belonged to my oldest son, who ordered the pulled pork. It was moist, tender, and properly seasoned. I found myself eyeing his plate with the quiet envy of a father who made the wrong selection at the counter. To assist with the meat, the establishment places four distinct sauces at every table: Texas Red, Carolina Copper, Georgia Mustard, and Alabama White. Experimenting with all four is an enjoyable exercise in flavor chemistry. The bar produces some of the finest craft cocktails in Bolton Landing, maybe in the entire Lake George region. The drinks are mixed with intelligence and high-quality spirits, which helps soothe the human nervous system after a long day in the sun. The primary defect of The Gem is monetary. Prices in Bolton Landing include an unwritten tax levied on tourists. Other local establishments justify these steep prices by offering a view of Lake George. The Gem sits on Lake Shore Drive, offering a view of asphalt and passing automobiles instead of water. Paying high-end prices for barbecue without a lake view attached makes the final bill a bit harder to digest. Still, the pulled pork and the cocktails were good enough to warrant a return visit. One must simply prepare to surrender a few extra dollars for the privilege.

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 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!!
