The Woods Inn is under new ownership! The food at the Laughing Loon Tavern was delicious; we ordered wings, tuna, mussels and fish tacos. The bartender was fun and friendly. Had a great time!

The Bartender on this Saturday night is the absolute worst I have ever seen. He didn’t greet 1 single person when they walked in. Keeps his head down and makes no effort to make eye contact. We sat there 15 minutes without even so much as a hello or I’ll be right with you. What pissed me off is when a couple walked in after us got their drinks within a few minutes. It’s not like they were that busy. Upstairs dining was dead…send someone to help the pathetic bartender downstairs! Customer Service for him is a big fat ZERO. Too bad because the food sounded good.

Arrived at 8:20 pm for dinner service. Food arrived at around 8:50 except for my daughter’s pizza. Asked around 9 about pizza and ordered more drinks. 9:15 everyone is done eating and asked where the pizza was again. The bartender was very inattentive and kept saying sorry while being very argumentative but no real answers. It was after 9:30 before the pizza arrived overdone. The best part was when the bartender decided to talk about us literally behind us with the owners. Very unprofessional and RUDE.

Tucked inside the lower level of the Woods Inn, the Laughing Loon is a warm, cozy place for food and drink. There are six taps and I enjoyed one of their IPAs. The soup de jour was a grilled corn chowder with tender chunks of chicken which was excellent. The pulled pork sandwich was nicely spicy and served on a crisp artisan roll. All in all, a comfortable dining experience.

We had reservations for six of us 5:30 on Sunday. The place was empty in the dining area. We unfortunately could not be seated in the enclosed deck area overlooking the lake because only parties of two or four were seated out there. What a shame as the views were stunning. I chose to order two appetizers for my dinner since I was not very hungry. I ordered the Original Tapas tray and the Stuffed Portobello Mushroom. My Honey ordered the Beet Salad. My Tapas consisted of three of Crab Rangoon, Fried Pork Dumplings and several Grilled Marinated Bourbon Steak and all were all very good. The Stuffed Portobello Mushroom was even better. Very tasty indeed. My Honey did not enjoy her Beet Salad as much, as her experience this time did not meet her expectations/memories of when she had before. Also there was not enough beets for her. The rest of our party seemed to enjoy the Grilled Prime Rib, the Salmon and Veal very much. Our server Alexis was very friendly, helpful and attentive. The gentleman that seated us didn't seem very friendly nor enthusiastic but that did not deter us. The place started receiving more diners as the evening went on. The adjacent room had a large private party celebrating a special occasion. The dinner was very Delicious and if we were able to be seated on the enclosed deck I would have given then a five rating. We were very happy with our choices and we recommend.

The bartender/waitress is a master of her skills. She showed exemplary table service while also serving 12 patrons at the bar. We dined on a pizza, salad, prime rib sandwich and a grilled chicken sandwich. This place is a hidden gem in Inlet, Adirondacks. Highly recommend!

We were greeting by the host with "I have to let you know, we do not accept walk ins." We had reservations. A $50. deposit is required when making a reservation. We got our drinks quickly. Sat for 35 minutes until I called out to a passing waitress "may we have some bread?" We were in a lovely private room, with our party of 7. Food was served after 80 minutes. Everyone said it was OK, but me. I was informed that my medium rare prime rib would be grilled. It was medium well, very dry, burned on the edges. The glazed carrots were very good. The smashed potatoes had no skins. I suspect they were instant with some garlic added. Total bill, with bottle of wine and 2 beers, $250. plus tip.

Good food and company!!!
Visited with my family for a late lunch after hiking. We ordered a small pizza, 2 orders of wings and 2 beers. When the wings came out the were absolutely BLACK. I couldn’t believe that the cook would think those were acceptable to send out to someone or that the waitress would think there were ok to put in front of someone. My husband’s were less black than mine and he ate his, except for one that looked like a piece of charcoal. I took mine up to the bar and said I could not eat them. Of course, the next wings that came out were rubbery and slimy, also inedible. They were also $14.50 per 10. At one point I could hear the waitress and the (manager??) talking about the wings. “Who the f*#! Wants to eat black wings!” The pizza was fine. Hot, cheesy. Not nearly as good as they advertise it to be. They comped our drinks because of the wings, which was nice but I literally went away without eating lunch because the food was so awful.

The house salad was mostly the white part of romaine. The sole stuffed with crab and shrimp was bland with a gloppy sauce. The wine list is very fair as to range and price. We sat for more than 20 minutes before we were even able to order a drink. This despite the 'host' had nothing else to do. They had one server for the more than 40 covers that I counted.

Quaint little Adirondack tavern. Very personable, and knowledgeable waitress/bar person. Food was very good.
