“We had an amazing lunch while we waited for a bicycle repair. The Buratta and Blueberry flatbread was fantastic! If we find ourselves in Saranac Lake again, we will definitely make a lunch stop here.”

“Wow. This place was incredible and well worth the 15 minute drive from Lake Placid. The staff all made us feel like royalty and the food was perhaps the best meal I have had in years.”

“When we walked in looked like your average pub with a slightly dated look. We had a Burger and Wings. Wings were crisp but not dried out (perfect cook). Burger was phenomenal and you could taste the freshness of the Beef, Bun and other ingredients. Highly recommend.”

“This restaurant was such an incredible and unexpected find on the way home from the Bloomingdale Bog! I have traveled widely and the best food I have ever had was in Venice Italy: I kid you not, the food and service here brought me back to Venice and Florence. I had the shrimp special: shrimp cooked with sautéed vegetables: onions, sliced garlic, roasted red peppers, large wands of broccoli, all cooked to perfection. The veggies still had flavor and bite, the large shrimp were perfectly cooked, and all tossed over pasta with delicately flavored sauce and olive oil, which never overpowered the flavor of the main ingredients. My partner had the Chicken special which was perfectly tender chicken breast bathed in a cognac marinara sauce, with mozzarella cheese, roasted red peppers and a side of delicate pasta. For dessert we enjoyed the Tira mi su, my favorite, which I make from scratch myself. The pastry and pastry cream were heavenly, finished with a thin layer of chocolate and a dollop of whipped cream. Stupendous. The lemon cake was also obviously made in house, with cake that was not too sweet, richly textured with a nice thick layer of lemon cream between the two layers. This dinner was a glorious North Country surprise, one that transformed this series of cold, gray days. The service was also absolutely exceptional, professional, friendly, graceful, relaxed and timely. We can't wait to return, and I would highly recommend you treat yourselves...especially now when it's slower! Light up a cold winter evening. THANK YOU!”

“Came in for the first time and will be back again. I don’t know what was on that avocado toast but it was amazing. Cute and little but still very spacious. Trillium was a nice face to see in there as well!”

“I used Jamdots Baking Co. for the first time in June to make a bridal shower cake. The cake was wonderful—it was exactly like I’d ordered and delivered right on time to the venue in Lake Placid. It was delicious!”

“Melissa made us 2 birthday cakes for a family reunion. One was strawberry with buttercream frosting. The other was carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. First, they were beautiful! They were creatively decorated in an Adirondack theme. Then, they were delicious! And now they are gone. Everyone loved them. 😊 The price was a good deal, too.”

“Excellent food. Cheerful atmosphere.”

“The ribs were excellent the Mac n cheese was amazing and the rings and fries were cooked to perfection! Lisa did a fantastic job as our server. We’ll be back! Thanks!”

“Great place to work and hang out.”

“No. 1 Chinese Restaurant is our favorite local takeout place when we are to busy to cook. The choices are many, but we have our favorites. Everything is consistently fresh and tasty. The owner is energetic and super friendly. Give it a try and then you'll know why we keep coming back. Enjoy 😉”

“Great little sub shop in the town of saranac definitely get their pickles and their garlic dill bread on whatever sandwich you get it's absolutely delicious if you love pasta salad there's is extremely delicious they even ask you if you want to add other toppings on it as well because it's a very simple salad granted it's so delicious and so flavorful I don't think you need to add anything to it other than maybe some onions.”

“Best buffet experience I have ever had, helpful and interactive employees with fantastic attitudes and smiles. It was wonderful to see the employees enjoying their day. I could not have asked for better service, atmosphere, or food! This was exac What I needed today.”

“We desperately ran in seeking nourishment after a long day at camp and were greeted by super friendly staff who offered some delicious slices to go! Our pizza was warmed up to perfection and ready in just minutes! ❤️”

“Don't know why people told me thi place was bad, literally the lady is nice, just having a thick accent. Anyways, ordered the chicken broccoli and the combos, and were very good. Sauce was just like downstate.”
