    Bruise left by bartender at Olive Ridley's on my wife's lower right back
    Samuel F.

    Since Me and my Wife has discovered Olive Ridley's we have taken our children and family members to dine in with us on a regular basis about 2-3 times a week, and has become me and my Wifes go to spot to eat in Plattsburgh. The staff is wonderful and the food is great but this all changed on the night of Feb 7th. They had a new staff member working as bartender and waiting on tables that night, from the beginning the bartender/waitress had a bad attitude all throughout the night we had to seek her out for service, including serving us food we didn't even order and giving us an attitude about it. As the night was ending it came time to pay our bill we were ridiculously overcharged (20 beers in 6 hours between 2 responsible adults) which was still paid but when we asked to speak to the manager about our bill we were yelled at and told to leave. As we were leaving the premise the bartender slapped one of our guests in the face and pushed her to the ground, resulting in a broken ankle, my wife went to help her and was treated with the same treatment punched in the face and pushed to the ground resulting in several bruises. We love Olive Ridley's and know it's not their fault, but I hope if Olive Ridley's cares about loyal customers they do make the correct action and reprimand this bartender for her unnecessary force of violence which was not warranted toward us at all UPDATE: We never did receive a phone call to rectify this blatant assault by their staff member

    Crab rangoon dip and wanton chips. Revolting.

    Excellent service, delicious food, and an exceptional, welcoming hostess! A+ place!! One of our…read morefavorites when visiting Lake Placid.

    I came to Lake Placid for a few days to work at a conference and on my first day I looked up places…read moreto eat and this one came up as very appealing so I walked there for lunch and was disappointed to see they were closed. I checked the times online again (Google and their website) and saw they should be open, but weren't. So, I ate elsewhere. Ultimately, I came back on my last night in town and saw they were open and I sat at the bar. The bartender (a European guy) was less than friendly, never smiled, and hardly gave any attention to me, other than to ask what I wanted. Service throughout the entire visit was extremely poor from this guy. At one point, when I ordered my burger, I asked for cherry peppers to be added to it, he simply said "no!" and walked away. I asked him if he said no and he agreed that he did. I told him to come back and I showed him the part of the menu that showed where you can get bacon and cherry peppers added to the burger and this was what I was referring to, except that I only wanted the cherry peppers...He walked away. I ultimately got the burger and as I suspected, no cherry peppers were on it. This guy was literally one of the worst servers I've ever experienced. Along this topic, I noticed that several places in town had these European servers and I asked some locals about this, seems there isn't enough locals to handle the jobs, so they hire these folks, which is fine as long as they teach them some basic customer service skills and monitor their actions to make sure they're not upsetting customers, causing poor reviews for their establishments. When it comes to the flavors - Their chili was decent. It didn't have much depth of flavor and was highly tomato sauce based, but was decent. The menu said it was award winning, which I found interesting, because what I ate didn't taste very award winning. The burger tasted pretty good! The meat was perfectly seasoned and flavorful and the temperature was spot-on. The bun was great. The toppings were also very nicely done. Their fries were excellent! I loved the crunch on the fries, they seemed like they were par-fried then finished fried to order - very nicely done! Overall, my score comes from the terrible customer service. I saw others servers giving great service to the tables, but I made the mistake of sitting at the bar and having this guy. Also, there was a blond lady, maybe the owner or manager who was busy chatting with guests who she knew most of the time I was there and was too busy to check on other guests at the bar, even though she as at the bar too. Tells me that they clearly care more about the locals and those they know rather than those who are just passing through. Maybe it's the reason for their other poor reviews, which I think is sad considering their interesting and unique menu. If they managed service the way they put together such a great menu this would easily be a 5 star place! Hope they turn things around!
