Creme Brulee

It is official. This is our spot. We have been to Lisa G's maybe 5 times, but this night was the first time we sat on the beautiful back upper deck, facing the dam. It was so romantic. Our server was very attentive. The food we order is always a delight - even if it does not look like it will be. For example, I ordered the chicken and collard greens special with wild greens and the dish was soupy. I normally do not like any kind of rice in soup situation, but babyyyyyyyy, this was delicious. I could not believe how good it was. The next day, I had the leftovers and it was still good. There were tiny changes to some other meal items, but we were able to omit them easily. We cannot wait to come again. I will check to see if my hubby took a pic of my meal. I only photographed our starters and the dessert ‍.

Went here on a weekend trip. It's dog friendly and the brought a water bowl for our dog. I had a sliced beef sandwich with chips. I enjoyed it with the au jous sauce. Service was good the checked on us and food came out in a reasonable time. The have the enclosed patio decorated in a fall decor which is nice

Chicken Caesar salad
Carolyn C.

Overall Lisa G's was a good experience, although would say it did not fully meet our expectations based on previous reviews. We got chips and salsa for appetizer, and I do have to say the salsa was delicious. I had the lemon Caesar salad with chicken, which I really enjoyed and was a big portion. My sister got the hot meat flatbread, and she said it was fine but nothing special. Our server checked in with us regularly. The ambiance was unremarkable. Very nice views right outside of the restaurant though.

The inside was quite nice but the outdoor area has a very pretty waterfall view. Service was friendly and quick. There is a good amount of parking nearby but also very walkable if staying in downtown area. Food portions were quite large and very tasty, would definitely return.

Beef lettuce wraps

I was able to get a reservation for two at 9:30 on a Saturday night but since we were hungry, we decided to try our luck by going earlier to see if we could push up our reservation or snag a walk in table. We got there at 8 and the hostess said they'd be able to mark us as arrived and seat us within 30 minutes. We told them we were going to the bar to get a drink and wait. 40 minutes later, I checked in and they said they'd be able to seat us soon. An hour 15 later, 15 minutes before our actual reservation, I checked in and they looked like they were surprised to see our table ready and sat us. I think it ended up working to our disadvantage that we weren't waiting next to the hostess/at the bar because I think they forgot about us. Despite the initial issue, we sat down and had a lovely meal. We got the beef lettuce wraps. They were very good. For entrees, we ordered the fish and chips and the jerk short rib. As someone who can't handle spicy, it ended up being a little more spicy than the waiter described. The short rib was super fatty, but the meat that was there was so tender and cooked well. The fish and chips was a very big portion, a touch overcooked but super crispy. The drinks were super delicious. I got the Toni basil and asked for it without simple syrup, which was perfect!

Smash burger

Lisa G's is a little off the beaten path in Lake Placid and I'm glad we tried it. It's a larger place and was pretty busy, so I'd recommend reservations. It was a little bit loud but again, it was a busy Friday night. I got the burger which was fine, but their house sauce really was spot on. I even asked for another side of it for my fries. My dining partner tried some wings and a salad which were great; there's some unique options for wings which was fun! Overall, I'd definitely go back. There's plenty on the menu I'd want to try!

Bar
Kimberly G.

Cozy little restaurant. Made reservations online for dinner and decided to arrive early and grab a drink at the bar. Our table ended up being ready early so we were seated before our reservation. The server was very friendly and energetic. My husband ordered the fish and fries and I had the goat cheese and blueberry salad with grilled chicken. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. My husband really enjoyed how his fish was lightly battered and cooked. Overall exceed expectations and would definitely come back!

View from the deck

The food is good. The price is good. The service is good. But the most amazing thing? The view from the deck; be sure to get a reservation for outdoor seating if the weather is good!

Cinnamon raisin bread pudding
Joseph S.

We drove by this place a few times and every time thought, that place looks like it has some good grub! Well turns out we were wrong... It has some amazing grub! This spot is situated a block or so outside of the hustle and bustle of downtown on a waterfront. The inside was comfortable and low key, your typical pub/watering hole but the food bats above that weight class. We started with delicious lemony Greek wings that came with a whipped feta dipping sauce. Refreshing and divine on a hot day. I then went for the pork enchiladas that came topped with a mole sauce - I am a sucker for mole sauce - and it was delicious. Deep, zesty, chocolatey, everything you want in a mole sauce! We ended with the cinnamon raisin bread pudding which was delicious but begged for a scoop of ice cream rather than whipped cream. This will be a must stop every time we head to Lake Placid.

Talha S.

Great service and food. Split the wings, calamari, and the chicken parm. They were all amazing and I can't name an issue. Was quoted a hour wait on a Thursday with 2 people but got a table within 40

Fried goat cheese and blueberry salad.
Pamela S.

Great service and food with options for picky eaters or adventurers palettes. It was a busy night with folks traveling in for the solar eclipse but you wouldn't know with how efficient the restaurant ran. I had the fried goat cheese and blueberry salad- very delicious though a little heavily dressed. They had a few dinner and dessert specials as well. If you're looking for a place away from the crowded main street, this is the place to go.

Pork Snitzel
Jenah C.

Oh my godneeeessss, this place is amazing. We were staying at a nearby Lodge and this place came highly recommended by multiple hotel staff members. It's a little off the beaten track and has a quaint outside appearance. Inside it's bright, colorful, and beautifully decorated. The menu had a nice mix of inventive dishes (Beet Reuben, pork snitzel) and pub staples (burgers, fish and chips). We started with the beet salad and the calamari, both of which were fantastic. The beet salad was a little small, but delicious. The calamari had a nice mix of olives and pickled vegetables with it. I ordered the Seafarer Fettuccini, husband got the pork snitzel, kids got the Mac and cheese (Kraft) and cheese pizza. Amazing food!!!! The staff was really nice. We arrived at 4 and were able to get a table, but it filled up almost completely by 5pm. Would recommend coming early if you don't want to wait, but the bar area was big and really nice if you want to grab a drink while you are waiting for your table. Will be back!!!

First time visiting Lisa Gs today. I recently got a puppy and I'm new to the world of dog friendly so that's how I generally start my search. Next, I look at stars and views and menu. This place has it all. The view is amazing and our server Lindsey was friendly and on point. The food was amazing and well portioned and I find this place to be a gem. We will definitely come back.

Best food in town. This is my 3rd restaurant this week and I'm going back again cause the food is…read morejust better than the rest. Service was great. We made waitlist reservations and they were pretty close so seating was an issue but they are really, really busy at peak times. For the place itself, I believe it's an old church? The beer is great and they have one of those dome hockey games that I'm addicted to themed to the 1980 Olympic Game of USSR vs USA. LOVE IT! . Best food and atmosphere in town!

Conveniently located near hotels in Lake Placid. If you don't have a reservation you'll be waiting…read moreup to two hours or more as it is not a big restaurant. They do have a second floor dining area for large parties. English pub style. Food is relatively good. We are here 3 out of the 5 days we were in Lake Placid, mostly out of convenience. Service is okay, depending on who you get. They are super busy all the time and if your server isn't on point they will forget things. Their Ubu beer is the best beer there. The cranberry cider is pretty good as well. Shepards pie had very little meat/filling with a larger mashed potato ratio. Apple pie sounds great on paper but had little filling, leaving it super dry because it's baked as an individual personal pie. The whipped crème fraiche was delicious. Wings were nicely fried, crispy on outside and tender inside. Sourdough grilled cheese could've been better by using any other cheese besides Kraft singles. Clam chowder is superb. Beet salad was okay. Turkey burnt ends did not impress me and it's suppose to be their most popular dish. Chicken tenders were delicious. Fried fish was amazing! Huge piece of fish, served with tartar sauce and a side of incredible fries. Detroit style pizza is lackluster. The dough could've been cooked longer as it was underdone.

Ambiance: 1000/10. Top of the Park is an absolute must on any Lake Placid trip. This rooftop tapas…read morebar, perched above Players Sports Bar and Grille, has jaw-dropping views of Mirror Lake. You can choose from bar seating, indoor tables, or outdoor spots with a perfect breeze. There's even a big street-side table that's ideal for bachelorette groups or larger parties. The whole space feels elevated, cozy, and a little magical. Drinks: The cocktail menu is insanely creative and the pours are generous. Their espresso martini is one of my all-time favorites... I stop in for one every single time I'm in Lake Placid. It's that good. Food: I think about this food at least once a week. The menu is built around shareable small plates, making it the perfect pre-dinner cocktail hour spot for your travel crew. Order a couple of drinks and a few bites while you take in the lake views before your dinner reservation. My personal must-orders: the charcuterie board and the mac and cheese. Unreal. Price: It's on the pricier side, but genuinely worth every penny. For the quality, the atmosphere, and those views? Not overpriced at all.

I'm thinking I don't have to write a review because it's pretty clear the place is a slam dunk…read morechoice -- lovely staff, delicious food and a Mirror Lake view -- but I will warn that the portions are on the smaller size and if you ask for a bit more bread with the cheese board, they will charge you five dollars without warning. Those aren't complaints, but for any "hungry guys" who like hearty portions, this place will run up your tab.
