The food was creative and delicious, while the service was literally perfect. I felt like I went to a friend's house for dinner and a Michelin chef showed up to help! Kudos ladies! I highly recommend and look forward to coming back to Lake Placid, because this is the first place I will visit! Thank you both!”

“Chris was an amazing mixologists. Love the Strawberry Margarita. Great service, great atmosphere!”

“This place is a true hidden gem! The food is outstanding. I come from a foodie area with lots of local, fresh ingredients. This restaurant was on par with the best of the best in California wine country. The wine selection was unique and well curated, the food outstanding and so creative. I lost it over the tiramisu. But the real gold was the salmon with maple mustard sauce and saffron rice. Eden has created a very special experience.

Dietary restrictions: I’m gluten free and they had gluten free pastas if I wanted. They also do all their sauces authentically, so there’s no roux. Highly recommend.”

“Excellent homemade bread with dipping oil, chicken parmesan was very good! Friendly staff. Definitely planning to go back.”

“Everything was amazing. The service, the food, the drinks. Will definitely be back”

“Been coming here 32yrs. Takes a little longer than the other restaurants? Great…enjoy one of Tommy’s cocktails while your food is made SPECIFICALLY FOR YOU. No red lamps. No warming ovens. Just a fire in the hearth, Tommy behind the bar and something splendid on your plate. Cannot recommend you have dinner with Joe and Colleen any stronger. The best.”

“Best breakfast! Flapjacks, French toast, everything amazing. Great service and smiling staff ☺️”

“Excellent food and atmosphere. Staff were very polite. Highly recommend.”

“We were a family of five that came in on a busy dinnertime. We were seated promptly. Service was great and the food was outstanding, along with the beer. I even bought a couple cans for home.”

“We husband and I came across this place on accident, later in the evening. It was absolutely AMAZING!! From the time we stepped in and was greeted with such friendliness, to the timing of each course. Staff were attentive and the food was the perfect temperature. The flavor of each course was absolutely delectable. My husband and I are going back just to go to that resturant. this time with dessert,”

“I feel right at home at this local cafe. The coffee is delicious and prepared with love. I adore the chocolate croissant! The aesthetic is calming and stylish and I can work there when I need to get away from home. There's ample parking outside. The owner Maria greets customers with warmth and is dedicated to making it a great spot for all who walk in. Her staff is well trained and very friendly, all women too! They have a new patio with plants and plenty of spots to sit. Capisce is a must visit in Lake Placid!”

“They offer a great vegan panini. I was so happy to find this place. We will definitely be returning.”

“Very cozy little spot. Recommended to me and my family by avid hikers who frequently stop in n lake placid. The croissants were very good, I had a spinach and parmesan. The pastries were excellent.”

“The best bagels in town! i think they may be the softest bagels i’ve ever had. nice and warm too. Also, the employees are very nice and helpful. I have only been two times but I try to go as much as possible for my schedule. I HIGHLY recommend.”

“Got 1 small Dole Whip on a waffle cone and 1 small raspberry frozen yogurt on a regular cone. cost me $16. NO ice cream is that good that it should cost $8 for a cone...”

“My friends and I absolutely loved this place! Amazing pizza and wings, great service and cute little old fashioned styled place. Looked like there was only one man working, and he did a fantastic job of getting our food out quickly and providing us great service. We will definitely be back!!”

“We eloped at Christmas it was perfect. The staff went above and beyond it was just magical!”

“Never been … it was great the food was delicious”

“Jimmy's 21 has become our traditional first-dinner-in-Lake-Placid preferred location. This time, we came with our four-year-old, and it was just as enjoyable as when we've come as a couple or with a group of 8+. The top-notch service, high quality food, and relaxed but romantic atmosphere are always consistent, and very much anticipated. The views of Whiteface and Mirror Lake are so exquisite. We love it here, and it remains one of our all-time favorites!”

“A wonderful treat after your gruesome backpacking trip or a day hike. The food is good. Although, they changed the menu from last year. There’s always a calm presence of the staffs at the eatery which is so cool. Always smiling and positive vibes from the people around.

Overall, I love the place, people and the food. Would definitely recommend to all the hungry hikers.”

“Very nice place to get pizza! The dinning room is very spacious. The staff is very nice. The pizza is delicious. Loaded up with a generous amount of toppings. The garlic bread and fried mozzarella is also very good!”

“It was super late and my family and I were hungry and spur of the moment decided to get food from here… and let me add, my husband does not usually care for Chinese food… but they did not disappoint. Probably the best Chinese food I’ve ever had to be honest. Will definitely come back here again.”

“well i was up here on vacation/work for the week, out of every place i went this is by far the best place in the whole town, by far the cheapest place to drink and the best service i had in the whole town, props to lisa and nichole they are literally grade a ? ? i will definitely come back here.”

“Always been a fun place to go and dance.”

“Dietary restrictions: My daughter has an egg allergy and they were very accommodating.

Kid-friendliness: They have kid friendly cups, high chairs, and boosters and the servers were so friendly. My daughter loved them.”

“Love this diner and always stop by when I am in town. The staff are friendly and the cooks are awesome. Really great vibe and the food is delicious. I recommend this place to anyone and everyone visiting Lake Placid.”

“I had the chicken wings and the burrata salad. Overall great value, simple classic food made well. Views of the water and the mountains from the right seats, recommend visiting!”

“This really was a beautiful dinner. I couldn't have asked for better service. I believe my waitress' name was Brittany, and she was really so kind and lovely. While my food was delicious.... I'm taking off one star for price. I got one appetizer, one drink, one salad, and one dessert. And my bill was 140 dollars before tip. When I was told the appetizer special was a pasta, I'm looking at all of the other appetizers and I'm seeing prices of around 20 to 30 bucks. So I'm thinking okay this thing is probably going to be 20 to 30 dollars. I knew I wanted to try dessert and salad so I thought I'd spend less by getting an app. Sometimes you just want a cool experience without breaking the bank. Not to mention I try to stay within my 100. 00 budget I get for traveling for work. Needless to say I was sticker -shocked when I saw the pasta was 60 dollars. The portion was EXTREMELY small, there was no meat. Just noodles and sauce. So it definitely hurt to pay that bill and I wouldn't come here again. However I'm glad I got the experience since they do make you feel very catered to. The amouse bouche selection was a pork consomme that was absolutely heavenly. Highly recommend if money is no object. Highly recommend staying away if it is ?”

“If you're staying at the hotel or just passing thru town - it's worth the stop, for lunch or dinner. The menu has range and the food has flavor and the staff is friendly. The space is cozy - whether you're eating inside or sitting out on the patio and taking in the view of the lake.”

“Great food and service absolutely would go again next time in the area! The Cuban was amazing!”

“Had dinner 1/30/24. Our meals were absolutely amazing. My husband had the surf and turf special and I had the brisket French dip. Both were SO good!!! And our server was great! We will make sure to come again when we are in Lake Placid.”

“Great little rooftop bar on the main drag with good view of the Adirondacks. I believe it's the only rooftop venue in the area. They made some good Old Fashioneds and it wasn't too busy, even for the middle of July. Can't find any first world problem complaints really - just a chill place to have a drink, take in the view and enjoy yourself!”

“Peak 47 is the casual restaurant located within the Whiteface Lodge. It sits right next door to Kanu, the hotel's fancier option. We actually prefer the laid-back atmosphere of Peak 47 to Kanu. The food is great, the decor is beautiful, and the service has always been top-notch. Peak 47 is one of our go-to restaurants to visit in the Lake Placid area. Highly recommended!”

“Best run Subway Ive ever been too. In town for CanAm tournament and Subway was busy. But the staff not only kept everything organsized and moving along with precision but the place was clean as if it was dead. Even the food prep area looked like I was the only one in there. Absolutely amazing. Other locations should be trained by this one.”

“Love this place. The soft serve is really cold, creamy, and flavorful. We got twists (which were a great balance for 50/50 chocolate and vanilla) and straight vanilla. They also gave us two free pupcups for the dogs. If I do not drive past before they close for the fall/winter I will be sure to come back as soon as they open next season.”

“Jonathan Studley is doing amazing things at the Boathouse. We've been living here for 20 years and this is BY FAR the best the food has ever been. Period. Yes the prices are up, but aren't they up everywhere? The menu is simple but something for everyone, nice beef filet, always a good chicken option and some game like elk and venison available too sometimes. Don't be surprised to find new features popping up occasionally like Ramen, which was delightful. Our favorite this summer was the REAL blue point oysters with apple mignonette. I'd be remiss not to mention the Kobe beef burger, which is hands down the best burger in the Adirondacks. Chef is also doing Cafe on the Green / Veranda dinners with Thursday evening music and a nightly three course $45 Prix Fix menu to much acclaim. So be sure to check those out this winter. Finally, the boathouse is good for more than wine at sunset; now you can get one of the best meals in LP.”

“The brisket mac & cheese burrito with BBQ sauce was amazing!”

“Welcome to what was the first floor of a gracious old family home in Lake Placid. Very comfortable place to be.”

“Today my boyfriend, son and I ate here for the first time, the food was absolutely amazing and our waitress was very pleasant. we were originally seated outside in a very cramped, end of the row seat that didn't accommodate us well with having a stroller.. as we got up and were about to leave a very friendly waiter seated us inside. very kind, we were pleased tremendously. as we were eating our food a gentleman who appeared to be the man who keeps up with their books was SCREAMING at all the waitresses and waiters in another language, VERY AGGRESSIVE and angry..slamming paperwork down extremely hard on their POS station.. it was extremely unprofessional and awkward for us to be trying to enjoy our food... our waitress apologized on his rude behavior. (not her fault, she was lovely). besides that, I absolutely recommend the Tuna. what a great dish that was. Hope someone lets that gentleman know it was absolutely noticed by customers and really unprofessional.”

“This past weekend we held out anniversary dinner. We chose Simply Gourmet for catering and it was amazing. They have a large selection to choose from. All guest complimented the food. We also got a cake, fruit tart and cake pops for dessert and they were all incredible. I highly recommend them for any catering needs.”

“I wish I could go back in time and not eat at this restaurant. The food looked nice but it just didn't taste good. The menu online isn't even close to the food they actually serve.”

“Was vacationing in Lake Placid and was excited to see a Starbucks here. Made mobile orders and was done quickly. Fortunate for me it wasn't busy at all during the duration of my 4 day stay. The staff is very friendly, had half off cup sale and a wide variety of cups!”

“We live close to Lake Placid. My only regret is that we didn’t try this place sooner. First let me say the beer was ice cold, server very nice and friendly and attentive. Now the food, best wings by far I have ever had. Just the right amount of smoke flavor and the sauce was nothing I have tasted before. I had a burrito with brisket and every bite had another delicious flavor. My husband had a burger that was also amazing. If you are in the area, this is a must try!”

“Pleasantly surprised! The bartender made great drinks including a Boulevardier making a fun show of it! Our appetizer of smashed potatoes poutine was full of flavor ( and we want another before we go back). Burgers were delicious. We went upstairs to the roof for a drink and the view is spectacular! Only suggestion is to get some more umbrellas or shade up there. Great place.”

“Best baked ziti & spaghetti with meat sauce!!! Excellent garlic bread!!! Kudos on service!!! Thank you!!!”
