While on vacation near Lake Placid, staying about seven minutes up Route 9N, we casually heard…read moreabout Ice Jam Inn--a local restaurant with a talented young chef and exceptional food. After a long day of hiking and kayaking, we were starving and decided to give it a try. From the outside, the restaurant looks quaint and unassuming, so we weren't quite sure what to expect. We also didn't have reservations, but they were able to seat us outside, which worked out perfectly. Our waitress was fantastic--friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The food was even better than we had hoped. Every single bite was incredible! I ordered the fish and chips, my daughters had the chicken sandwiches, and my husband chose the chicken club sandwich. We also started with the fried pretzels and karaage chicken bites, and both appetizers were absolutely delicious. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and clearly prepared with care. We visit Lake Placid every summer, and this will definitely be our new go-to spot. Highly recommend stopping in after a day of exploring the Adirondacks--quality food all around. Bravo!

It's not that the food is spectacular per se (it is very very good and sometimes spectacular), but the ambience of the old house is welcoming and comfortable.

The specials are fun and there are constants like the Hungarian mushroom soup and hunters chicken are always such a delight. This was my first time visiting since I had to go gluten-free, and I was delighted to find tons of options, including a gluten-free flatbread. Reservations, highly recommended, and be sure to check out the wonderful town of Keene Valley while you're there.

My home fries were perfectly crisp and not greasy, the plate looked great but I was disappointed with the omelette. The ingredients tasted fresh, loved the avocado on top! (I got my jalapenos on the side) The taste was very good but it was not prepared like any omelette I've ever had The tomatoes, onions and peppers were not inside the omelette and they weren't on top....the egg mixture was cooked with all of that and the sausage in the pan and when it was folded over the only thing inside was cheese. (And hardly any cheese at all) And the sausage, I was expecting something other than 2 tiny breakfast links cut into little pieces! Don't get me wrong, I gave it 4 stars because the food was tasty and fresh, the service was good and I would definitely go back...I would just try a different item.

We walked by this place next to Starbucks, walked a bit more, and decided we were hungry and thirsty, so we decided to give it a shot. We were not disappointed. We had mussels, and shrimp tacos. Quite delicious all the way around. Good portions, and we ended up taking some food home. The highlight of the day was our waiter, Joselo, competent, friendly and a pleasure to interact with. And, he makes the most fabulous blueberry mojito!!!! Who knew? We will definitely return in hopes of a repeat visit and more good food and drink.

Make regular visits to Lake Placid / Keene Valley yearly and always struggle to find good food…read more This past trip ended up in Sentinel & Station as the town was pretty busy with an event (Can AM Rugby tournament) so every place had waiting lists. We were able to get right into Sentinel & Station and had a great meal and service. The menu is on the smaller side but everything was interesting. I ended up getting the short ribs with a whipped parsnips topped with some sort of slaw which was excellent. My fiancé had the Lamb Meatball gnocchi which was also great. You might be able to argue it was a little small if you had just finished the iron man or hiked a peak or two but it was perfect for her. Additionally the focaccio bread and oil/balsamic was great. They kind of coin themselves a wine bar but had some good beer on tap. I wasn't drinking but belive they had a Maine Lunch IPA on tap which would definetly put you in a elite beer category as well. One thing that might be tough is a kids menu as nothing is listed but the cook probably has something up his sleeve and could pull an audible for you. Will definetly be back.

We have tried places in town over the years and most have been fine, but the food has tended to be relatively straightforward and/or uninspired. Before Sentinel & Station, this space was a concept called Liquids and Solids, which was trying to be a bit more upscale and refined but ultimately fell into the uninspired camp. When I heard about Sentinel & Station's recent opening, I knew I wanted to at least try it out. After our meal here, we left impressed, content, sated, and eager to return to try all that we didn't get to on our first visit. The vibe was cozy and friendly, the service was excellent, and the food was creative, of impressive quality, and very well executed. We came here as a party of eight on a Saturday night at 8:30pm. We were immediately welcomed and tended to with generosity and humor which set the tone for the entire night. The cocktail menu here is pretty dizzying, as its presented such that all of the ingredients of each drink are listened to the point that the anticipated flavor profile can be lost when you're looking it over. I ended up just getting the house martini with gin, which is served with both lemon and olives, but I tried many of the others just to get a sense, including the: Smoked Boulevardier (bourbon, bitter, bonal, carpano antica, yuzu bitters, spritz of lagavulin), Balsamic Fizz (vodka, pineapple, strawberry-balsamic puree, soda), and The Dopest Dope I've Ever Smoked (mezcal, pamplemousse liqueur, pineapple-basil juice, suze, cocchi americano). Of the three, I preferred the Smoked Boulevardier, the Balsamic Fizz was a little bit too watered down but with less ice the flavor profile would have been excellent, and the Dopest Dopest I've Ever Smoked, despite seeming like the most exciting of the bunch, was actually the least interesting. I was happy to have gone the classic route, and I got the Sivi pinot orange wine second, which was excellent (I realized afterwards that my wine person at home has actually picked this wine out for me before so I have apparently liked it for a long time). Food-wise, the menu is quite diverse and playful, and while it also lists a good many ingredients in each dish, it does not have the same effect as it does on the drink menu reading experience, and in general the food was consistently outperforming the cocktails. We were bummed that they were out of the mussels (which we originally ordered) because they looked fantastic and were highly recommended, but that just means we'll need to return in the future. Many of us split a bunch of dishes so I'll just speak to those I tried. There was not one wrong note all night so grading each dish is pretty pointless, but I might as well do what I can in an attempt to underscore the consistently great food and highlight the favorites. Eats, below: Heirloom Carrots w/ greek yogurt, pistachio, gochujang honey: A+ So good we got a second order when we realized we might need to beef up our second course. Incredibly flavorful with a subtle kick. Grilled Maitake w/ smoky blanco crema, spicy macha crisp, trout roe: A Would have happily gotten a second order of these too because the portion was small, but once again, packed with flavor. Grilled maitake is definitely one of my favorite mushroom preparations and this dish is a great example of why I maintain this. And the trout roe was just divine. Caesar Salad: A Also threw this in last minute and it was exactly what you'd hope for. Classic, perfectly executed, and a nice complement to some of the richer entrees. Tuna Nachos w/ crudo, seaweed salad, tomato, jalapeño, sesame crisps: A+ Potentially my favorite dish of the night. It looks like a lot when served to you but if you're splitting it four ways as we did, it's not much for each person which may be sad if you love it as much as I did. Rainbow Trout w/ pea puree, tarragon velouté, heirloom carrots, balsamic: A Warming, delicious, earthy, rich -- all great things. More heirloom carrots here but not complaining, they were a nice complement to the dish. The pea puree was fun and the combo of that plus the velouté was particularly delicious. Short Rib w/ pickled radish, whipped parsnip, red wine jus, jalapeño-lime jicama slaw: A+ I somehow did not get a picture of this one! I rarely eat red meat, mainly because I don't like it much, but short rib is one of the few exceptions to that. Melt in your mouth, tender goodness.

Chef Alex prepared a 6 course tasting menu with wine pairings by Patrick and I was just shocked at how good it all was. I have been a member of the Whiteface Club for 22 years and seen lots of chefs come and go, but after having seen what Alex is capable of, I have very high hopes. It was all proper 'fine dining' thoughtfully presented, perfectly prepared and delectable. The everyday fare at the Cafe on the Green on the Mooselodge boathouse is more basic to be sure, but the fact that they are able to turn out this level of quality, speaks volumes about where we might headed. You can count on top notch food for your wedding or private event at the Whiteface Club.
