    Quaint, tasty, will return!

    Pleasant little place for breakfast in Wilmington. We ate outside and were surprised by a sign on chalkboard inviting us to grab a coffee and menu. They have WiFi. It felt like we were welcomed old friends. Food was good. If you want to be treated like royalty, find a stuffy, overpriced place to eat in Lake Placid. If you want to feel like family and enjoy a relaxed atmosphere (dogs are welcome on the patio, too), eat here.

    Food was good but you better not be in a hurry. Young waiter was pleasant but hadn't a clue!

    Great spot on 86. The roasted cauliflower sub was a great idea. Raisins, onion in a great dressing on lightly toasted bun.

    Friendly, no-frills diner with a nice outdoor seating area, serving breakfast and lunch. Worth a stop if you're in the area.

    Really small portions, fries were greasy and almost burned. I would not recommend it.

    The seafood scampi did not disappoint and the bacon cheeseburger was also very good.

There was a mini fridge, keurig machine (Kcups provided), coffee maker (coffee provided), microwave & toaster provided. We brought our HDMI adapter hookup TV to tablet and watched movies at night by the fireplace, everything worked. There's restaurants around the cabin in under 5 mins. Hungry Trout was great if you looking for a romantic dinner & Pourman's Taphouse had great pizza with a great selection of IPA & DIPA beers! Country Bear had the perfect breakfast! Attractions are under 5mins away ! Santa's Workshop North Pole, Adirondack Chocolates & Adirondack Wildlife Refuge Mobil Gas station is under 5mins away too! Whiteface mountain is under 5 mins away which is perfect for skiing! They have "sushi sundays" & french onion soup! Yann is great in communication & always available during the stay! Wilmington, NY is beautiful!! Restaurant: closed due to COVID (wish it was opened)

    We were visiting family in Wilmington and decided to go out one night. It was a snowy Saturday and…read moreparking was tough. Fortunately, something opened up fast. We were seated right away at a table in the bar area. Staff was friendly and worked fast. The dinner selection is not low-fat or vegetarian but perfect if you've just spent the days outdoors. I ordered the stuffed pork chops which would easily serve two. Great comfort food! My husband had a prime rib that he loved. The salad bar didn't offer a ton of fresh veggies but had a decent selection. The wine list wasn't great but we didn't expect it to be. Mostly grocery store types of wines. The dessert (chocolate lava cake) was big enough for two and tasted great. Not gourmet but hit the spot. This is a great place to take a hungry family after a long day of skiing. You won't go away hungry. If you want a higher-end, gourmet option, head into Lake Placid. If you're staying in Wilmington and want a good meal with friendly service, stop by the Wilderness!
