My son and I came in for dinner. He had the chicken bacon ranch Mac with garlic sauce and I had the special, bourbon glazed candied bacon burger. my son LOVED the Mac and wants me to buy the cool cast iron dish it was served in. I forgot to tell my waiter how I wanted the burger, but it came out PERFECT! The homemade potato chips were a good surprise too! Carter was our waiter, and you won't be disappointed if you get him! What a nice, patient, pleasant guy! Definitely coming back for another meal. For 2 of us, the bill was extremely reasonable.

Food & service are good (as I would expect from the staff of the Blue Water Manor). Igloos outdoors are really fun. Indoor dining atmosphere leaves something to be desired (it always feels a bit chilly) but the deck area is nice.

The place is definitely a good spot in the area. We used to go quite a bit, the most recent experience was very good. There have been some experiences that were not always the best. The food is good. Some dishes are great and some could use a little work. Wings, pretzels, salads, corned beef sandwich are all great. My only complaint would probably be the burger. When I first started going there they had a great hamburger then during covid they went to a thin Patty. Now for a thick Burger you get doubled up patties which is not my favorite. It's Smashburger style so you can't ask for it to be cooked a certain temperature. Overall it's a great place with great atmosphere especially in the winter when many other things are not open.

First time being there and we All loved it. My grandchildren even want to go back again . Food was good and our waitress was the best. Hopefully next time we can reserve an igloo.Kid-friendliness: My grandchildren loved the free smores stand and the fire pit to sit by after we had dinner.

Perfect winter restaurant/bar/dry-curling spot in Bolton Landing! Got lucky and was able to play some no-ice curling while the kids slept in the car 10 feet away. The food was actually great too. Poutine fries were tasty. And the wings were super good. Globes provide a great spot to eat, warm up. There was a band playing in the main bar area. Awesome local beer selection. Get reservations way in advance during busy season. Can’t wait to come back.Kid-friendliness: Fun for kids too!

Lively in the winter which is nice. Very courteous waitress who went above and beyond. Food came out very quick and was pretty good overall! Only issue was they sat us between the two bathrooms…not very pleasant. Lots of other open tables but oh well.Also have outdoor fire pits and nice igloos for winter dining.

Pretzel. Must have. Huge. Nice beer selection. Igloos if you like to eat outside in winter. Mac n cheese was excellent. Cheese burger Flatbread also very good. Fireplaces. Fun. Highly recommended.

Great live music on night we went and with a party of 4 everyone was raving about their food. Only negative I had is brisket on top of poutine was a little tough. But seriously to have all four of us happy with a variety of dishes was impressive. Can’t wait to go back and sample some more!

Ate in one of the igloos, which was great. Food and drinks were excellent. Service was also on point. It started to rain and the server was still very attentive.

What a gem in the Lake George area! The wait staff are so much fun, the food is great, and there are lots of options. We reserved an igloo and curling lane. We were provided with plenty of heat, a portable speaker for our own play lists and cozy blankets. Highly recommend!

Go every year 4 wheeling from Luzerne to Warrensburg and take a detour to go to the Barrel for a drink and brunch. Really nice environment with great staff and food.

We come to bolten a few times a year and finally came in the cold off season. We just stopped for drinks and the bartender was super friendly. It seemed like a nice local hang out bar.
