    $1 oysters during happy hour!
    Rachael W.

    Really enjoyed happy hour here this week! Great rosé option for me and beer selection for others. Happy hour menu has something for everyone-- especially enjoyed the $1 oysters. The Brussels sprouts with feta are also a must try! Will definitely be back to try dinner next time. It is in the lobby of the redone hotel and we were pleasantly surprised about the vibe. A nice change of pace for locals to try out.

    Have been coming here for over a decade and absolutely adore it every time. Fun specialty drinks,…read moregreat variety for meals, kind staff, and good vibes all around! My absolute favorites are the cheese treat, Greek wings, calamari, Moroccan burrito and the garlic fries with the fish + chips are incredible And if you're lucky to get Lindsey, she is always a blast!

    Some places win you over slowly. This one does it all at once. Delicious food, a rushing river, a…read morewaterfall view, and the kindest people you could hope to meet. We spent the week in Lake Placid for Spring Break, and we could not have been more happy to find this place, especially since we had our dog with us. Lisa G's feels like the kind of place you wish you had back home. We sat out on the porch with a perfect view of the water and our golden retriever happily at our feet. That alone would have been enough, but the food made sure we stayed awhile. We started with the wings. These are true buffalo wings. Not breaded, just well sauced and done right. We also ordered the cheese treat and it completely stole the show. Feta, spices, and jalapenos over fresh arugula, scooped onto toasted bread. It is one of those dishes where you keep saying just one more bite until suddenly it is gone. For dinner we tried the shrimp tacos, which have quite a reputation. As Texas people we were a little unsure about the pineapple salsa, but it works. Bright and just sweet enough. The slaw is mellow and tangy and ties everything together in a way that feels thoughtful rather than trendy. The fish and fries surprised us the most. Easily the best fish and chips we have had in years. Real haddock with a light crisp fry and a rich house made tartar sauce that does not play second fiddle. Chance said he usually only likes fish and chips for the fried part, but here he actually liked the fish itself. That tells you everything. The fries are the kind you keep reaching for long after you are full. Our teen ordered the burger and it disappeared before we could negotiate a bite. Former picky eaters do not lie. We tried the Julian cocktail, which drinks like a confident mai tai. The riesling missed the mark a bit. Next time we would go for the sauvignon blanc or the house white. The service felt like the best version of small town hospitality. Warm, easy, and full of good local recommendations. Our pup loved it. We loved it. We will be back. --Chance and Becky All Ahead Slow

Patio looked completely empty and they weren't super busy. I didn't see signs suggesting there was an event so my guess is staffing issues? Service was great. Server was attentive and food came pretty quick. Brisket was amazing. TRY THE PORK BELLY CINNAMON ROLL. You won't be disappointed. I tried it based on another yelpers review and I'm glad I did. Taco trio was ok. Tenders were good. Fries were great.

Their menu is loaded with all sorts of BBQ style food, as well as steaks and some seafood too. The décor is nice, cozy, and dimly lit. I started with their wings with the Ghost Pepper BBQ sauce on them - They were REALLY GOOD! Meaty wings, great crunch and smokey flavor and that BBQ sauce was so tasty! Next up was to try an order of their brisket nachos. They came out pretty quick and looked nice. They're definitely huge and I wasn't that hungry, so I really wanted to pick the good stuff, like the brisket and many of the toppings and that was all pretty good. The brisket I had was excellent! It had a nice bark and good smoke, yet was moist. Very nice experience, a place I'd definitely return to for another meal or even a drink at the bar!

    I have a bit of a story about Generations. Seven years ago,…read moremy family stopped in while visiting Lake Placid and, unfortunately, it was a pretty rough experience. After waiting over an hour for our food with no updates in sight, we finally left hungry and declared we'd never return. (We've all made dramatic vacation proclamations before!) When we got home, I wrote to the restaurant, and Natasha, the manager, personally responded with a sincere apology. She explained they had been incredibly short-staffed and invited us to come back if we were ever in Lake Placid again, promising a better experience. Well, seven years later, my sons found themselves in Lake Placid with friends and decided to give Generations another chance. They asked if Natasha was still there, and amazingly, she was! Not only that, but she remembered my email from all those years ago. This time, everything was wonderful. Great food, attentive service, a relaxing outdoor table, and happy young men!--which is review enough! To top it all off, when they asked for the check, they were told the meal was on the house. Natasha's kindness, grace, and commitment to making things right left a lasting impression. Thank you for turning a not-so-great memory into a great one. Cheers to Natasha and the team at Generations!

Serval more opened within those 25 minutes and sat empty. . My daughter had the chicken sandwhich she said it was good. Mojito mocktail & my ST Germain spritz were very good. I ordered the lobster tacos, I was asked fries or chips I said fries no salt he said they come into the restaurant seasoned. I said chips then he said they also seasoned I can substitute salad. Was surprised when the salad came out and it was in its own dish not on the side of the plate. There was a charge of $3 dollars for the salad on the bill I questioned the server and he said there is a fee for substitutions it is stated in the menu. My menu was closed when I placed the order. I didn't ask he told me he can substitute. When he told me he can substitute he should have mentioned that there was a fee.
