I love when a meal is so memorable I think about it for days. It's Tuesday night and I am still wishing I could go back and eat Saturday night's chicken teriyaki all over again.
This is truly a hidden gem located outside of Lake George's busy town center. We discovered this little restaurant completely by accident during our recent weekend trip. We drove out from the town center along Lake Shore Drive this past Saturday night in search of dinner and happened to notice Diamond Point Grill and its busy parking lot - usually a good sign. The building is small and low-key, yet charming and inviting with cute striped awnings over each window. Diamond Point was busy at peak dinner time on Saturday night, but fortunately we were seated after only a short wait. The tables are tightly packed within the dining area, so do expect to sit rather close to neighbors. It may not be the best setting for private conversation. Bar seating is also available.
We spent a few minutes chatting with some friendly locals while waiting for a table. They assured us we made a good choice, as they explained how they live nearby and are regular diners at Diamond Point. We learned that the chef and his wife are the owners. The owners were present, seemed super friendly, hard working, and made a point to stop by tables and check on their guests. Our server was also friendly and attentive.
The menu is simple with a decent selection of reasonably priced American and Italian homestyle fare including sandwiches, burgers, chicken and steak entrees, a seafood selection which varies, chicken parm, and more. The restaurant also offers daily specials. I later noticed the specials are posted on Diamond Point's Facebook business page, which may be a helpful resource before stopping in for dinner. I decided on the chicken teriyaki with a side of green beans and a baked potato. My friend chose the chicken teriyaki sandwich with a side of fries. The chicken was cooked perfectly, lightly covered in a delicious teriyaki sauce, and adorned with pineapple slices. Even the green beans tasted better than average. My friend also commented on how good the chicken was. We shared a brownie sundae for dessert which was the perfect ending to a perfect meal.
Five shiny and well-deserved stars for this little restaurant. I look forward to a return visit next time I am in the area. Diamond Point is definitely on point. read more
