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!
Food was excellent and service was great. Ask for Billy as your waiter.

Jimmy's 21 Lake Side Italian Restaurant offers a cozy and friendly dining atmosphere with a warm and inviting setting. The restaurant features some tables with a lovely view of the lake and the surrounding Adirondack Mountains. The food is generally excellent, with popular dishes such as seafood, eggplant parmesan, and tasty appetizers like baked oysters and crab cakes. Guests often enjoy the bread with olive oil, and appetizers like burrata and stuffed portobello mushroom add to the flavorful options. The homemade tiramisu and fettuccine are highly recommended for a satisfying finish. Special items like Steak Diane and Branzino are cooked perfectly and attract praise for their beautiful presentation. However, recent reviews mention that service can sometimes be slow, with delays in taking drink orders, serving drinks, and delivering food. One guest reported that their Branzino special was out of stock, and a substituted haddock dish arrived warm and mushy, which was disappointing. Despite this, some classic veal dishes were still enjoyed and considered wonderful. The restaurant's owner is known for being genuine and passionate about the place. Prices are considered fair for the area, though they may be higher than in the past. Overall, Jimmy’s 21 Lake Side Italian Restaurant remains a popular choice for those seeking authentic Italian food in a scenic setting, though recent experiences suggest it may have occasional service issues.
