“We were looking for a light dinner since we had a heavy lunch. We've checked the menu of a couple of restaurants across the street and Dancing Bears was a little cheaper so we thought that it would be what we are looking for.

When we got our food, the serving was more than enough and it tasted great. The server was very nice was well for accommodating our large group a little after 8pm.“

“Best food in Lake Placid!“

“We have been to Generations many times, consider ourselves locals! We live in Queensbury, NY, so we're able to get there 2 to 3 times a year! Our most recent visit was on May 22, our 54th Anniversary. Generations is our go-to place to eat...breakfast, lunch, dinner or happy hour! The food is so fresh and made to order. The wait staff is superb, especially Desiree, who we had this time...and Megan, who we've had in the past! Great job ladies, keep up the great work! 🩷 We also love staying at the Golden Arrow!“

“My go to Sammie is Esther on the Caramelized onion roll. Every single time.“

“Heated walkways are non existent now. Only 1 outdoor ( adult only ) hot tub working and wasn’t filled with enough water so jets were annoying when on, spewing water in faces. The pool was absolutely NOT warm enough to swim in and nobody was in it, not even kids so you know it was cold. If you can’t keep the amenities up stop promoting them and charging for them. The area underneath to walk through from pool to movie theater the carpeting was soaking wet and sloshy, no signs up just you step in it and gross. Staff is nice.“

“The best breakfast you can find in that area, and not only… plenty of healthy options, tasty and freshly made food. And the view - is just so breathtaking.
And don't forget to take a stroll after the meal. 💪🏻“

“We ate there numerous times during our stay. Delicious food and great waitstaff! Food and beverage manager, Jeff, was on top of all details. Thanks for the extra care!“

“Super delicious flaky croissants - would recommend the savoury menu - tried sausage egg cheese and bacon egg cheese, both were really tasty. Blueberry scone was also really good, bit crunchy on the outside but soft inside and not sweet - perfect pair with their good oat cappuccino (I would argue they had the strongest espresso in town after trying 3 other shops) ☕ didn’t have the chance to try their sweet treats but they had wide selections and all looked enticing. No seating available but there’s Mid’s Park across the street to enjoy the pastries.“

“Love the atmosphere here. Such a true cabin feel. Food and service is amazing and well priced. Huge bowl of Brussels sprouts for an app. Could feed 4+. Very crispy and delicious. I love love how they give you individually un opened condiments!!
French dip was the best I ever had!! So much meat, juicy and flavorful. Not chewy or stringy at all. Fries are lovely. Crispy and just the right amount of seasoning. My husband loved his chicken wings as well and whisky. 10/10. Came here even if though not staying here. So good.“

“Boneless wings were to perfection, the mixed drinks were delicious and our server did an awesome job getting our order correct w/o writing a single thing down. Kudos man!“

“The most amazing breakfast spot…. Will be returning to try more items tomorrow and the next day 🥰“

“Great beers and the food is awesome. The staff is friendly. Always a pleasure stopping in for drinks and a meal, after a long day’s hike. Love this place.“

“We stopped at the Pub this afternoon and had a great experience! The food and beverages were very good but our server Max was amazing!! A few of us in our group have been servers for many years and appreciated his attentiveness, personality and sense of humor. We will be back to see him for sure“

“Location is prime…decor is cosy and clean. Food is delicious…we eat steaks, pastas, seafood, appetizer’s, desserts, we had drinks, all the food and drinks were delicious. We were e party of seven and unanimously agreed, food and service was amazing. The staff are amazing, super polite always smiling and always right next to you if you if you need them. This is our place to go to, every time we come to Lake Placid. Thank you to the wonderful staff and owners. You are the best!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Thrilled to find this place during my visit to Lake Placid for the World Cup Mountain Biking Finals. So good I ate there twice! Omelets were sizable and fresh, prepared and served quickly. Should have ordered some bacon but I’m trying to cut down on my cholesterol, lol. Prices are fair for what you get. Decor is pleasing. Great staff. Plenty of street parking. Great place! Recommended!“
