Last minute Valentines dinner while traveling- we were glad to get a reservation. The good was very good quality it was just a lot over the top with sauces. The shrimp and burrata appetizers were great, the soup and Caesar salad were great, both the filet and steak frites had way too much sauce but both pieces of meat were good and had a good flavor. The only thing that was bad was Valentines dessert which had a very strange flavor and we didn't eat. We had great service.

First time in Saranac Lake for Winter Carnival. Wonderful service from Sadie, who also crafted our after-dinner cocktails. My wife’s steak was flavorful and cooked perfectly. The beef/game burger was delicious! Nice selection of local beers plus wines and liquor.
