New American Restaurants near Saranac Lake, NY

“Bluemoon is a staple in Saranac Lake. Always friendly. Always amazing food. I just recently got out of the hospital and really wanted some comfort food so my family and I went in. My daughter and I shared eggs, potatoes, pancakes and bacon. My nephew had French toast and my sister had an omelet. There were no left overs and we were all extremely full. Even ordered a few things to go for the couple family members who didn't join us. It didn't break the bank. Or server Seamus was awesome and friendly and timely!!! Definitely recommend Blue Moon to everyone who is looking for a great breakfast!!! (I'm a local and work at another local lunch/dinner place. And I always recommend Blue Moon to people for breakfast) You won't be sorry!!!!!“

“We enjoyed a wonderful lunch with the Ahi poke bowl & shrimp pizza paired with refreshing cocktails for my husband’s birthday today. The lovely bartender Ginny/Jenny was fantastic even if it was her second day! There was a slight hiccup in the kitchen, but the manager handled it in more ways than they should have. Very grateful for good customer service! We will be back! Cheers! Thank you for a lovely day!“

“The Costellos’ wedding at Whiteface Lodge was nothing short of magical! Surrounded by stunning mountain views and the warm, rustic charm of the lodge, the dance floor was alive all night. We had an absolute blast bringing the party and can't wait to be back!“

“My family has been spending summers on Upper Saranac Lake for more than sixty years. During these times, four generations have enjoyed dining at 'The Lodge', encountering generational members of the Hohmeyer family along the way. There are too many stories to describe in this review, however I had the pleasure of reminiscing with the host (Ernest Hohmeyer) my remembrance of his father (as a boy I called him Mr. Hohmeyer) and the Cornucopia dessert he brought to the table at the end of the meal. (Ernest mentioned how challenging it became to find the proper equipment to make the Cornucopia, but he did and the pastry with the ice cream was delicious.) There were many more memories over the decades, but I always find myself back as a child every time we go-- Mr. Hohmeyer's polished manner and German accent, Mrs. Hohmeyer's Weiner Schnitzel 'mit the holstein' (a sunny-side egg on top of the veal), and the sauerbraten with the red cabbage on the side. Those old memories will never fade, but in the wake of them are the new ones being made-- we celebrated one of my daughter's engagement with a pre-dinner surprise at the lakeside, took our middle daughter with her husband for dinner last week, and my wife and I are now babysitting our grandson while our oldest daughter and her fiance enjoy a dinner for themselves this very evening. It won't be long before the fifth generation become 'members' of this special place and I can't wait for them to experience the uniqueness of the ambiance, food, and hospitality. Thank you, Ernest and Cathy, for maintaining the spirit of 'The Lodge' and adding your personal touches to it. Fondly, the Samuels Family (Louis, Fania, Rosa and Mick (and Davey with another on the way), Sara and Keven (with a little one on the way), and Marissa and Mike (with our newest addition, Emelia).“

“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 ?“
