“visited tonight with the family and dog. excellent outdoor, heated seating. food came out quick, was delicious. our waitress took the time to even serve our pup in a dog bowl. highly recommend this place!“

“Food was great and the service was very friendly. You will not be disappointed!!“

“The food was absolutely delicious. The staff was friendly and the wine was great. Highly recommended I had the chicken caprese and my husband had the stuffed flounder and they were both delicious“

“Excellent food. Excellent ambiance and service.“

“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.“

“Wonderful lunch ! Great view ! Kind and Attentive Server! I recommend the pesto chicken sandwich , side salad and Ham sandwich on a croissant. A little pricey but about what I would expect within that area.“

“Best breakfast at Lake Placid (Mirror Lake)! *Much* better food than at The Breakfast Club, Etc. Dancing Bears offers housemade roasted home fries (Breakfast Club’s home fries are clearly frozen potatoes that they prep in one massive batch and dish out hard and cold for quick table turnover), delicious maple sage sausage, and thick toast (Breakfast Club serves up small frozen sausage links and thin sandwich bread, eek).

Dancing Bear’s breakfast selections are also more diverse. Loved the egg white omelet and avocado toast with fresh fruit (pineapple, honeydew, cantaloupe in summer).“

“You may have had a buttery flaky delicious pastry before, but you haven't really had one until you've eaten here. Everything we had here was crave worthy, the savory sausage or ham egg and cheese, the Nutella croissant, the raspberry turnover... I didn't get everything, but I find it hard to believe you could find a bad bite in this place. It's small and there's no seating, so you won't be sitting down to eat and enjoy, but that really doesn't matter.“

“Everything about Smoke Signals is top quality! The service, food and atmosphere!“

“I highly recommend this place to eat...The food is amazingly tasty also homemade and the prices are reasonable but the best part was speaking to Logan ( owners son) His parents should be so proud...A very nice experience for our first time in lake placid Diana & Jeffrey kelkenberg“

“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!“

“Amazing. The drinks were incredible. We had an Ember Trail and an Apres Colada. Truffle fries for an appetizer, perfect, not overpowering like some can be. For the entree we shared a Legend Burger and Chicken Sandwich Special. Cooked to prefection and dressed just right.“

“Best food in Lake Placid!“

“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.“
