Probably should have read the reviews first so that was our own fault. Ordered a broiled haddock for $30 that came with Minute/Uncle Ben's rice and a $60 steak and lobster tail that came with instant mashed potatoes. Service left a lot to be desired, but paying that much for subpar steak and haddock that couldn't even come with non-instant foods for sides was a pretty hard pill to swallow when looking at a $115 bill at the end.

It was a cute little place and the food was pretty decent. The pricing was awesome for the portion sizes that you get. I'll go again.

The food was outstanding , and the waitresses were very friendly . It had been very busy when we were there so it took a very long time to even get our drinks. I'd go back.

Closed on Columbus Day and no sign at the entrance, that's not possible

My girlfriend and I are here on a little getaway weekend and we love trying local spots when we go away. We look at Google reviews after since we don’t like to set the expectations before we come in.3.4 Stars might be the most accurate rating to this experience i couldn’t imagined. While our waitress is a sweetheart and knows when she makes mistakes, she’s a space cadet. Brought the wrong meal, spilled oil, forgot a few things, doesn’t really listen. But like I said, she’s a sweetheart that seeks to fix her mistakes and I value that far more than a waiter that does everything correct but is rude or not attentive. The hostess was nice and helpful. The atmosphere feels very lowkey. The inside was awful so we opted to eat outdoors and it was a pleasurable experience.The bad part is the food. No it’s not terrible but for the price you pay for “market price seafood” it should at least be good. The king crab was overcooked and watery. The “vegetables” which were green beans were clearly canned. The potatoes were okay. The lobster tail was okay. The bread was really warm and felt fresh. The corn is.. corn. The salad and soups were honestly the best part (the dressing was mediocre).So while I sit and write, the $200 bill this meal for 2 will end up being is awful for a town that already has tons of overpriced food everywhere.The best part about this place is it feels like the only seafood place within walking distance of the lake.We didn’t hate our experience but if we were to ever come back here, we’re just getting appetizers and the assorted tacos for a quick bite.Vegetarian options: It’s a seafood place.Wheelchair accessibility: nobody with any form of walking disability would be able to eat here as to get to the door you have to climb 2 flights.

There were only a couple of customers when we had our early dinner so the service was good. The lobster bisque was great! Shrimp and scallops pasta was good too! My wife loved the lobsters!

Was excited to Visit, but however the place is a trip hazard. We waited twenty mins- half hour to get noticed by a waiter, which she had no idea what she was doing… Spending over $100 for two people to have our food get taken from the Doordash….We waited over a hour and half for just our food to come out overcooked and dry…The bartender had no idea how to make two strawberry daiquiris, they were way to strong…Clam chowder was watery full of potatoes, fried scallops were dry and crunchy. Worst customer service I’ve ever experienced. Wait staff to busy worrying about outdoor seating.wish I could rate 0 stars…

The service is good; the decor and food are just so-so. The wine list is very short, but reasonably priced. Beware that they will automatically add a 4% credit card surcharge. If you're paying with cash, you'll have to ask them to re-calculate the check.

Walking in, I'll be honest. My hopes were not that high, given the plastic seating and worn wood. However, me and my girlfriend were very pleased in the end. Our waiter, who I think I can recall was named Peter, was very kind and welcoming, explained our dishes very clearly and in detail and checked in with us frequently.We ordered one of the boiled lobsters, and a shrimp scampi. The shrimps were cooked very well, full of flavor and nice and tender. The lobster was absolutely amazing. It was very tender and loaded with juice and flavor.We come to Lake george every year, and this certainly will be revisited in the near future. 10/10.

Please don’t waste your money. This place is extremely over priced for what you get. I ordered the shrimp and lobster pasta which was a whopping $38!! The dish was supposed to be in a vodka sauce. The sauce was literally canned, and the seafood and pasta over cooked. The other 2 people in my party ordered the twin lobster tails which were tiny and looked previously frozen. Their prices are outrageous and the food frankly sucks, definitely look elsewhere.

This place is terrible, they served us rotten scallops I almost threw up the second I tried to eat one omg. My whole diner was ruined. They offered me something different, wasn't really hungry after that but decided to order Chicken Alfredo. Well that was a mistake tasted like something you would get out of a day old trash can. My kids and wife's food was not good either. The drinks even tasted weird had to get something else because the coke was terrible. Terrible experience and won't be going back.

I arrived at 5:45 on a Friday during summer season and was seated right away. There is a large outdoor area, indoor was decorated with the typical seafood restaurant fare, low ceiling and somewhat dark. Very kind attentive server. Had the bang bang shrimp and a fresh delicious steamed lobster.

Nice place, although in need of a remodel. The smell of "old" lingers in the air. Food was not impressive and certainly a bit overpriced. I am aware that seafood is expensive, but a little bit of effort in the cooking could certainly make a difference and make it feel worth the price. It felt like I was eating at a fast-food restaurant.
