We have now finished breakfast and people are waiting and there are 4 tables right around us that need to be cleared. There is a rolling cart with bins for dirty dishes but instead of rolling to cart out so that all these tables could be cleared at once the waitresses are clearing them one at a time going back and forth wasting time and steps! When we finally got out breakfast it was just as ordered and fresh, hubby had an omelet which was tasty and I had an egg with biscuit (way too big?!) and gravy with sliced tomatoes also very good.

I'm not certain why, but after waiting 20 minutes to be seated, I decided to order a soup and salad first, to see where that went. My French onion soup, I sent back the first time.....cold....it came back microwave d. The second time was worse, the "chef" Heated it enough to make it looked cooked, cheese was cold, and not in the least melted. On to the knife chopped tossed "house" salad. All veggies were warm. Wondering still why? diced onion? I then decided NOT to order an entree. After critiquing this establishment, I'm pleased to report I will not return. (and all of this only took 1.5 hrs) The service was as to be expected. The ambiance was a bit to bright for dinner dining.

The main dining room was closed so we went down to the pub and opted to sit outside for the music. The view of the green is beautiful but on a 90 degree day for a seasonal place I was surprised there were no outdoor fans. Golfers coming of the course do have to walk through the patio area to get back to their cars which didn't bother me but can be descriptive if it's a large group. The lower bathrooms also double as changing rooms for golfers and have a shower and dressing area in each. Our server was friendly and attentive. The menu was small but very varied though there were certainly some colder weather option meals that looked interesting but would have been uncomfortable to eat in the weather. We shared the poutine and hummus plate for apps. The hummus was presented well and flavorful. The poutine had alot of meat, a good dollop of horseradish sauce and a surprisingly small amount of cheese curds. Fries were good. For my main meal I ordered the club sandwich without ham and kettlechips. The club was a single decker and was as expected but just a bit smaller. But the real star of the plate was the home made kettle chips seasoned with old bay. Admittedly old bay seasoning is one of my favorites. I would go back again and try some other things.

No acknowledgment, candle, or mention of his birthday despite it being noted, so our expectations were modest. From the moment we arrived and were served cucumber water that was VERY refreshing, the Gem delivered a much better experience. The atmosphere was lively and inviting, and our server was friendly, attentive, and genuinely engaged throughout the meal. The cocktail menu was creative and fun. While I felt the pours were a bit shallow for $18-$20 drinks, and the oversized ice cubes seemed to take up a lot of glass real estate, the drinks themselves were well-made and enjoyable. The food was the star of the evening. Everything we ordered was delicious, and it was easily one of our better meals during the trip. When it came time for dessert, we asked if they could add a candle so we could celebrate my husband's birthday. Unfortunately, the dessert station had already closed, leaving bread pudding as the only option available. While that was a bit disappointing, our server went out of their way to make the moment special by bringing over a mini mint cordial. There was still no candle, but the thoughtful gesture was genuinely appreciated and meant far more than a scripted birthday acknowledgement. The Gem struck a great balance between good food, a fun atmosphere, and attentive service. Our only regret is that we didn't have another day to try the outdoor seating area in the back, which looked fantastic. Maybe next time!

Most Americans generally associate slow-cooked, wood-smoked meat with the southern regions of these…read moreUnited States. Finding respectable barbecue in upstate New York requires a slight adjustment of geographic expectations. The Gem, located in Bolton Landing, attempts this feat with a wood-fired smoker and an ambitious cocktail program. My wife ordered the smoked chicken wings and a side salad. The wings possessed a deep smoky flavor and properly rendered skin. The salad performed its minimal duties without incident. My youngest son consumed the kids cheese fries. They were sufficient to satisfy an 11 year old's palate, though underwhelming when subjected to adult inspection. I selected the brisket, which spent hours absorbing hardwood smoke. The flavor was rich and beefy, though the cut was somewhat leaner than I prefer. In my experience, truly magnificent brisket requires a generous layer of rendered fat to achieve complete structural tenderness. This was good, but it was not that. The genuine masterpiece at our table belonged to my oldest son, who ordered the pulled pork. It was moist, tender, and properly seasoned. I found myself eyeing his plate with the quiet envy of a father who made the wrong selection at the counter. To assist with the meat, the establishment places four distinct sauces at every table: Texas Red, Carolina Copper, Georgia Mustard, and Alabama White. Experimenting with all four is an enjoyable exercise in flavor chemistry. The bar produces some of the finest craft cocktails in Bolton Landing, maybe in the entire Lake George region. The drinks are mixed with intelligence and high-quality spirits, which helps soothe the human nervous system after a long day in the sun. The primary defect of The Gem is monetary. Prices in Bolton Landing include an unwritten tax levied on tourists. Other local establishments justify these steep prices by offering a view of Lake George. The Gem sits on Lake Shore Drive, offering a view of asphalt and passing automobiles instead of water. Paying high-end prices for barbecue without a lake view attached makes the final bill a bit harder to digest. Still, the pulled pork and the cocktails were good enough to warrant a return visit. One must simply prepare to surrender a few extra dollars for the privilege.
