Can I give 10 stars? If we lived in the area, we would be here monthly if not more often. Incredible food (served in full or half portions), craft cocktails (I had a tomato infused vodka martini), and a welcoming and friendly staff. When we arrived, the restaurant was just opening but not quite ready for guests, so one of the servers came out and chatted with us for a while. How many other places do this? The food was so good and creative and plated in a tempting way. It almost felt a shame to eat it. Accolades and kudos to the BEST restaurant in LG. read more

Let me start with the good.. making a reservation was easy. When we arrived our table was ready and our waitress was very attentive and nice. Food was mostly quite good. My husband and I shared a few appetizers and a few half plates so we could both taste a bit of everything. The only thing we didn't really like was the tuna appetizer. If you are contemplating trying the wild boar sausage it was absolutely delicious and I'm so glad we tried it! Now for the negatives. When I made the reservation I let them know it was for our anniversary. I didn't expect special treatment but we felt it actually went the opposite of being special. When we were led to our table we walked through a very nice and cozy dining room into a way less nice side room at a four seat table. Almost immediately after sitting multiple people came in and were arranging tables and chairs around us to accommodate a party. We were quickly told we should get our order in asap as when the party arrived the kitchen would be busy making their meals. I honestly was floored by this remark. The last thing you want on a special occasion is to feel rushed. I'm sure they thought they were being helpful but it just felt unwelcoming. By the time dinner came we were the only ones in there surrounded by a large party of other people. Why the room wasn't kept for just the party is kind of baffling because we were just two people and could have easily fit somewhere else. While dinner was tasty I was not at all happy with dessert. We ordered the peach cobbler, which is one of my favorite desserts. When it came it was a chopped up peach sauce on top of what seemed to be some type of very dense spice cake. My husband somewhat enjoyed it because he likes spice cake but we left most of it because it wasn't at all like a cobbler. And not something we would have ordered if it had been properly described. On the way out to leave we again walked through the other dining room and got a better look at how much nicer and romantic it looked with much more private tables for two. So disappointing. All in all I think we would give this place another shot for a more casual dinner. But I would absolutely never even consider coming back for a special occasion again. read more

Had a great meal here with family. We had a large group and service was timely and friendly. The food was mostly very good. They start you off with some warm fresh bread and butter that you have to be careful to not fill up on. We shared the truffle fries (if you like thousand island dressing you might like the sauce but it does have a kick to it), sushi roll, and a few large beet salads for the table. Salads were good and plentiful and I liked the dressing. I appreciate that Bistro Le Roux offers smaller and larger portions options for each of their mains. As this is not the norm at most American restaurants, it was a a little unclear to us whether that meant they are sharing plates or not but because most other restaurants give you too much food, ordering a small seems like a reasonable strategy unless you are either A) very hungry or B) sharing with a few members of your party. It's not cheap but this could be a good way to try different dishes. I tried the lobster risotto which was super creamy and came with a reasonable (but not overly generous ) amount of fresh lobster. The corn risotto was very good although it seemed like they had this same thing for a number of their menu items. My wife had the avocado crab salad dish, which was ok (my daughter commented that it was needlessly "fancy"), but the crab on its own would have been better. She thought her risotto was a little undercooked. We also got the corn chowder which was ok but lacked any real flavor and didn't feel worth the stomach space. The tomato bisque, a long-time staple of their menu, was much better and we really enjoyed it. For dessert we had the lava cake which was very rich and good. My son had a plain vanilla scoop, which came with his kid's meal (steak and fries). read more

The food, menu, staff and ambiance are outstanding. We love to try different dishes when the menu changes but also lovee the staples like tomato bisque and crabcakes read more

Good food and service! We loved the beet salad was amazing!! The eggplant with risotto was delicious!! Slightly disappointed with the scallops. Sauce was ok, but they also put panchetta on top and that was not in the description, and we are strict pescatarians. Crowded need reservations. read more

Saw the reviews here on yelp so had to give it a try. I'm sometimes cautious about yelp reviews but this time they were spot on. What an amazing place with great food and service. Highly recommend if you are k. The Lake George region read more

Off the beaten path, but great food and service. The restaurant is owned by the chef and his wife (also a chef of vegan foods) and food is prepared in the front of the house. They offer full and half portions of all entrees but I prefer to get the full portions as they can be shared with others at the table in order to sample numerous entrees. There is a full bar and a nice wine list for those who imbibe. The ambiance comes from the owner's travels through national parks and the nearby Adirondack State Park. Definitely family friendly but also perfect for intimate dining. read more

welcoming place, casual. our wait time was a bit long, but we had a child with us who bore it bravely. great food and great service

Without a doubt, one of the best meals we've ever had in the Lake George region! My friends and I split three appetizers: the beet and watermelon salad was spectacular, the crab cakes were wonderful, and the truffle frites were perfect. For entrees we did half portions of the short ribs of beef, the lobster risotto, and the scallops so we could try everything -- and we were beyond impressed with all of them. The service was also excellent: attentive, knowledgeable, and never rushed. You can tell this is a chef-owner operation that truly cares. We will be back as soon as possible!!! Bravo to Chef-Owner Jacob & Tiffany Guay and the entire staff at Bistro LeRoux!! read more

Efficient, quick service. Friendly staff. Old style bistro atmosphere. Simple furnishings of wooden tables and old style booths. Homey, provance feel. Great for a quiet family dinner, an intimate date, or a relaxed friends' gathering. We didn't feel rushed to leave, as we slowly savored our meal. This is a spot for relaxing and enjoying life. Extra shout out to the superb staff for finding my diamond earring (which I accidentally dropped in the booth where we dined) and saving it for me for pick up after more than a day. All the food was superb. You have a choice of either getting a large plate (entree size) or a smaller plate (appetizer size). Glad we listened to our waiter's advice and ordered multiple small plates to share. Definitely recommend that--instead of getting entrees, order multiple plates in smaller (appetizer) size and sample them all. What a treat! We had seared scallops, surf and turf, braised short ribs, lobster risotto, and the night's special dessert of whipped peanut butter pie. Every dish was masterfully executed and presented. Chefs have done true justice to every ingredient. We licked the plates clean and left throughly satisfied and content with such delightful culinary experience. Would be back to sample everything on the menu! read more

Visiting Lake George, i brought someone along to try their food, they did not disappoint. They had a few vegetarian options that I had to try. The pear and watermelon salads were delicious! Perfectly crafted and mixed with a beautiful presentation. The eggplant and vegetable risotto were fantastic. The ingredients all work perfectly together and the portion size is just right. The cheesecake was the best I ever had. If you're in the area, you owe it to yourself to go there and try the food. read more

Have been here several times and everything is always amazing. The menu changes seasonally, so if you're a creature of habit then this might not be the place for you. The dishes are always creative, dynamic, and delicious. We started with cocktails I had a tomato martini (sounds weird, was incredible) and husband had a manhattan. Appetizers were crab cakes--fresh, crispy. I had the peach glazed pork chop that came with Parmesan risotto and he had the game meat mac and cheese. These are so hard to describe because I'm not a chef but they were phenomenal. The best part was dessert. We had the special--roasted strawberries and strawberry puree, coconut melange, vanilla sorbet with a crunchy coconut cookie and toasted coconut flakes. I kid you not, despite being full, I could have eaten a whole second plate of this. The waiter was friendly and responsive, knowledgeable about the menus. The restaurant is like an upscale cozy vibe. Will continue to come back again and again!!! read more

Went there twice it was excellent. The atmosphere the bar is a lot bigger than I thought it was, but the entrées were delicious.

What can I saw, perhaps the best restaurant in the Glens Falls area Always excellent and great service no nonsense! Been there multiple times and I highly recommend this place with no reservations. read more

Great local find just outside Lake George Village. The food was outstanding and the service highly professional. We enjoyed our first meal so much we came back the next night to enjoy more of their menu. Highly recommend it! read more

Greeted right as you walk in by several staff members. The ambiance is wonderful. Clean and quiet, and the service is excellent. The menu is different, in a good way. I had the Butternut squash and apple bisque soup, truffled pommes frites, vegetable risotto, and the lemon bar for desert, all wholesome and flavorful. Even the dessert was topped with homemade whipped cream, not reddi wip. I didn't have the phone on hand, otherwise I'd share a pic. read more

Bistro Laura was professional. Sitting us properly with weight staff there taking your drink order in time. The food was delicious and the service is great. read more

Cozy atmosphere, nicely appointed. Food was excellent! Burger was melt in your mouth and juicy. Pork chops was delicious with many flavors that paired well with the risotto! We'll be back again soon! read more

Food was great! Loved the small portions, allowing us to try a couple of different things. Service was excellent...highly recommend

Wow ! We love everything about this restaurant from the decor, the ambiance, the service and the food! Checks all the boxes for me. We had the spinach dip and the tuna tartar appetizers then the small skirt steak with potatoes and chimichurie.and the double pork chop Can't wait to go back read more

We have eaten at this restaurant a few times and it never disappoints. The atmosphere and service are great. Wait staff are very attentive and helpful. The menu has a wide variety of food options and all of the dishes we have had were delicious. You won't be disappointed when you go to dine at the Bistro. read more

Not much has changed in ten years, and that is good. Because the things that haven't changed are the friendliness of the hostess and staff, the welcoming feeling, the availability of small and full portion sizes, and still having Ubu on their draft list. It's just difficult to believe that both of our visits were only in 2012. We were quite fortunate on this, once again, non-reservation-visit to not only score the last table available, but for it to be a high-top located at the edge of the kitchen service window, away from all the other diners. Once again, we had a wonderful view into the kitchen, even better than on our first visit, watching the kitchen staff working as a well-coordinated team meeting the demand of the evening's first rush with precision. And all those dishes looked delicious as the servers retrieved them. I started with a Von Trapp Pilsner ($9) from the half-dozen craft brews on draft. It was crisp and clean. My wife ordered a Blackberry Lemonade ($6) from their Mocktails. It was both tart and sweet as advertised, but she was surprised to find it had blueberries in it, even if it did have a blackberry syrup. It still was tasty. Once again, we decided to share a small Salad Special (small portion $12/full portion $23) Mediterranean couscous over spinach with kalamata and Spanish olives, cucumbers, and tomatoes with an Italian vinaigrette and feta cheese. It was refreshing and flavorful. We also shared a small Goat Cheese Encroute(sic.) ($12/$23). The chef obviously took some liberty in describing this dish as Madagascar vanilla & Bing cherry fondue with baguette. It may have met the "fondue" definition by virtue of the goat cheese having to have been melted at some point, and the "encroute" was a coating around the cheese, but it was not the expected pastry coating. But none of that mattered with the first taste. This was an absolutely delicious blend of flavors with our server Jackie explaining that the chocolate flavor we thought we detected was from the caramelization. Moving right along to our entrées, my wife chose the small Seared Sea Scallops ($19/$37) with prosciutto wrapped asparagus, and a sherry butter sauce served with sweet pea mashed potatoes and shaved Grana Padano. Two of the three scallops were cooked perfectly, the smallest of the three was very slightly underdone. Sign of a cautious chef? Overall, a delicious meal. I ordered the small Cabernet Braised Short Ribs ($19/$37). If this was "small" than I can only imagine how hungry a person would have to be to complete a full portion. The piece of short ribs was not only quite plentiful, but it was also very tender and flavorful. The hominy was soft without being mushy, and delicious with the addition of smoked Gouda and apple cider bacon. The crispy potato nest was actually a topping of perfectly crispy, finely seasoned, julienned fries. I barely saved room for dessert. But as Jackie listed the desserts, she mentioned that the chef who had developed the Salad Special that we thought was so outstanding, was also the chef who created the special dessert of the day - Tiramisu. Trusting in this chef's track record for the evening, I ordered the Tiramisu ($10). It was a pleasureful ending to dinner along with a good cup of coffee. My compliments to the chef and the entire staff at Bistro Le Roux. read more

This has been a family favorite for years; we go for birthdays or a nice meal out and have never been disappointed in the tasty options Chef Jake creates. I definitely recommend reservations, especially if you have a party bigger than two. Some of our favorites include the pomme frites, the poached pear salad, and the chicken Parmesan with risotto. This trip I changed it up a bit and opted for the vegetable risotto; a great vegetarian choice with summer-fresh veggies popping in bright colors against the creamy risotto. Family got the pork option with a peach glaze, the surf & turf, the swordfish, and the chicken Parmesan risotto for their entrees, and we also enjoyed the crab cakes, the ahi tuna roll, and pomme frites for our appetizers. They've got a great selection of wine, beer, and a cocktail list with seasonal choices as well. Looking forward to the next visit for sure! read more

Have to say - we have been to this restaurant in the past and it has been outstanding but tonight - not so much - soups were very salty - we ordered small portions (1) surf and turf - turf was cooked as requested but sued Left a lot to be desired (2) lobster risotto- wasn't even sure it truly was lobster - looked like a tiny shrimp cut in half. Bartender was our server and he asked us 3 times to double check what we ordered - needless to say wont be going back for a while - so sad - was excited to have a great meal for our anniversary- oh did I mention that my husband didn't even finish his drink (old fashion) he said it was to sweet read more

They took us right in for our reservation. The place is very clean and nicely decorated and you have plenty of room. The waitress was amazing and the food out of this world. We will definitely go back!!! read more

Interesting menu, done well. 2 half dishes instead of one makes it easy to explore the whole menu. when you can't decide between 2 dishes. read more

Amazingly delicious food and super great service! Quaint setting and comfortable atmosphere. Short ribs were the best flavor and extremely tender. read more

It starts with easy parking. The staff is friendly and curious. The chef's cook where they can be seen by the entrance. But most of all the food is creative and delicious. Excellent food! read more

This charming spot is a real find in the Lake George area. The staff is welcoming, helpful, and accommodating. The menu was appealing and my choices were very tasty and carefully prepared. A nice feature of the menu is that most dishes come in two sizes (priced accordingly). I chose the small portion of my appetizer and main course and found each one ample and very tasty. read more

My family of 8 had dinner here and were seated outdoors at a picnic table. It had been raining earlier that day, so they covered the benches with some sheets. Our area had very little lighting and we had to ask for a few candles so that we could see what was even on the table. The service was a bit slow, but the plating of the food was excellent. You could tell they worked to elevate the presentation. Some of the main proteins were a bit on the smaller side, but the quality of the food was very good. It was an enjoyable experience, except for getting eaten alive by the mosquitoes out there once it got dark. read more

A nice spot off the beaten path of the Village of Lake George. Service was attentive. Bathrooms were clean. Food was very, very good. Had the Ahi Tuna (Crab and Avocado Stuffed Tuna with Sweet Chili Vinaigrette and Seasonal Radishes) and the Goat Chees Encroute (Madagascar Vanilla and Bing Cherry Fondue, Toasted Baguette) as appetizers. Both were outstanding. Had the Surf and Turf (Grilled Ribeye Steak and Prosciutto Wrapped Shrimp, Rosemary Demi-Glace with Whipped Cream Cheese and Chive Mashed Potatoes) as my main. The Rib Eye came as ordered (medium rare), but the entire dish was on the cool side (They lost a star for that). (We had a party of eight and I think my dish was one of the first prepared and was set aside as the other seven were being prepared, as all the mains came out together). The apple pie ala mode, accompanied by an Irish Coffee finished off the evening on a high note. read more

My husband and I decided to try Bistro Le Roux for my birthday based on the positive reviews. Unfortunately, it was not at all what we hoped. The ambiance is nice and our server was very friendly. However, the food was really underwhelming. It was disappointing and strange to be told they had no dinner specials, especially with the main menu being on the smaller side and it was a Saturday night. I had the small surf and turf and sadly it wasn't anything special. The steak was cooked slightly under what I had asked for and only one shrimp seemed skippy for the cost. My husband had the pork chop which was slightly over cooked. I'm not sure if it was an off night for them but I don't think we would rush back to try it again if we were back in the area. read more

Do not bother if anyone in your party has dietary restrictions. Not one gluten free app, no GF rolls, and everything is loaded with cheese and cream. With such a limited menu, several of us had only 1 or 2 choices. So I order a watermelon salad with chicken. But they only have breaded chicken. Can't grill or pan fry a piece for me. So I order the summer vegetable salad with salmon. The salmon is insultingly small for $12. Oh. Yea. And my first bite delivered a hair. And the vegetables? A couple of pieces of canned corn on arugula. It's apparent why their clientele is old. Going home to make popcorn. And my peach Manhattan didn't taste of peach. My FIL's pork chop was "tasty but overcooked." 11 people - best item was the espresso martini. Do not go. read more

Awesome place especially if you're looking for a more upscale, adult environment at Lake George. Family friendly is great, but sometimes you just want a good meal and this is the place for it! Good food and don't sleep on the dessert menu! Staff was extremely friendly as well. Definitely recommend! read more

Oh boy! We LOVE Bistro LeRoux!! We always make a reservation here when in the LG area. It's absolutely a must!!! Their chefs prepare delicious food with the most amazing ingredients and pairings. Their dishes are outstanding! I love that they offer half portions as well. This way you can either just have a smaller portion or choose two dishes you'd like lol! I usually order a half portion of a dish so I can save room for dessert. This past time, we had chicken Parmesan risotto- OMG!! And my husband had a pork chop. Both dishes were delicious!! There's no other way to say it! So so good!!! Cannot wait to return to Bistro LeRoux! read more

YUM!!!! I'm incredibly picky when it comes to French onion soup, so when I saw this French restaurant I was very excited to try. It was the closest to my moms I've ever had out! Great flavor, onions were thin, but you could taste them, and the bread help it's own on the top. Really good! All our food- from soups to entree were both delicious. I especially loved the risotto that was under my pork chop, and the mango and corn salsa on top of it. The flavor combo was delicious. Everything had so much flavor and you could tell the chefs really care about what they're making. I also loved seeing them at work when you walk in. Such a great atmosphere and great food! read more

This was one of the greatest meals I've ever had, start to finish = PERFECTION! Fresh ingredients & wonderful attention to detail.

10-21-23 We had the short ribs and surf and turf. Both meals were horrible and the service was even worse. Dinner took over one hour and 45 minutes for dinner for two people. We spent the same amount somewhere else the night before and that food was a hundred times better. read more
