Orders the 1.25 Maine lobster restaurant week meal and it was fantastic! Our server Lori did a great job, and the food tasted amazing.
I visited this restaurant as they opened for the season. It wasn't very busy but ive never had a bad experience at this restaurant no matter middle of summer or just season opening. I highly recommend. The location, food, & atmosphere are EXCELLENT! You can either eat outside or inside. DELICIOUS!
I came here on Thursday night. Staff is very friendly and food so good.

$127.00 for cold food tonight. Was not busy. Offered a ridiculous discount. I’m a local and that’s how we are treated. Won’t go back again. Surf and turf-all cold, my lobster and corn and veggies—- cold. . I left hungry. Shameful. Do better. We should not have to have paid for that, your establishment should be embarrassed .

Went on 9-28-24 and this is honestly the first negative review I’ve ever left for a restaurant. Ordered surf and turf (medium rare on steak)
Took 30+ minutes to get our food(maybe 20 people total in restaurant, not busy )
Waitress dropped food and was gone before I even had chance to look at it. Steak was burnt and cold. Lobster tail was cold. 15+ minutes go by before she came back to check on us and see I hadn’t touched steak.
Terrible all around.
Most of the food was very good but we sent back 2 dozen raw clams.The waitress was very nice about it and took them off our bill. The prime rib was ok, not great, as was the pasta dish we got, but the crab legs, lobster pot and chowder were excellent. On-site parking which is rare in Lake Geoge. Nice atmosphere.

The Food is horrible! Do not come to this place if you read this review, you’ll spend a lot of lonely and the food quality is terrible! The oysters came with mold, and shrimp for the tacos was with the feces still in it!

Low key, ironic and kitschy in a good way. Food was amazing and the lobster was a great deal.

We made a stop here for dinner on our way to Albany from Montreal. Worth the stop!! Food was delicious, service was impeccable. We sat at the bar, which is always our go to. We had two whole lobsters and the mussels. Mussels were ‘to die for’, the menu didn’t lie. We’ll make sure to swing back by when we’re in the area.

We dined on Friday night during the Adirondack Nationals. The place was packed as we anticipated.
We checked in and were told we would have an hour wait, we didn't care. We went to bar for a drink and watched the cars on Canada Street.
As people came and went looking for tables, I have never seen a ruder bunch of people expecting to be seated immediately. It’s an event weekend and you have to expect that.
Our server Lori was amazing. She was running crazy and yet she was extremely professional and attentive to our needs.
At one point an extremely rude and irate gentleman took it upon himself to seat his party on his own. When politely asked to move to the bar or railing areas he proceeded to verbally attack Kayla M & Andrew H at the host station. Kayla was rattled and had to walk away to compose herself, returning after a few minutes. Andrew held the fort down like a champ. Both of these employees are a true asset to your business. Lori is true gold!!!!

Food was a hit or miss. I got the lobster pot, the lobster was small, clams had sand in most of them, and corn was sweet. Clam chowder part of the lobster pot was subpar, didn’t taste any clams that makes a clam chowder soup. The shrimp scampi pasta was good & flavorful. It was better than the cepprano pasta. I did tell our waitress that the clams had sand in them & she was nonchalant about it, swapping it wouldn’t haven’t helped because I most likely would’ve gotten sandy clams again. She could’ve offered some form of comp for bad clam cleaning/ shaking.
Would I return? Yes. Would I order lobster pot again? No

Overall the service is fantastic, but the food could be better. The pasta Alfredo sauce was watery and lacked flavor. We expected better quality food especially since the atmosphere was nice.

$58 for filet & lobster tail. Filet cooked well done, and not a quality steak by any stretch of the imagination. They charge $6 for bread. Really?! Service mediocre, Bill came to $210 before tip for 2 adults, 2kids. Don’t mind the expensive pricing, but when the experience is mediocre, it just makes you feel that they’re taking advantage of the customer by living off their location and not putting any TLC whatsoever into the process. Even the plastic outdoor furniture does not match the menu pricing. The Stone steps are falling apart, like they lead to an abandoned house. Strikes me as one of the places where the owners care more about the revenue coming in then actually delivering an excellent (or even positive) customer experience.
The table next to us ordered two lobster pots at $89 each and sent them back, asked them to be taken off the bill and left without eating when their crab was the texture of beef jerky. We didn’t raise nearly the same fuss, but we’re equally disappointed.
