We had very poor service on our visit. I think our server was simply having an off night or maybe there was a miscommunication among the staff. The poor service is factored into the score, but there's no reason to rehash every detail. We started with the mussels which were exceptional. The saucy broth they are served in is delicious. Unfortunately it's served with not nearly enough bread, and if you ask for more you will be charged (without being told). Our mains were a lobster roll and the steak salad. I am not a good judge of lobster, but it was "delicious." My steak salad did not arrive as ordered. The steak was overcooked (still tender, but certainly not medium-rare) and it was doused in dressing (which I had asked for on the side). The only reason to eat here is for the lake views. You are truly right on the lake. You're paying through the nose for that view because the food is just ok. read more

We were lodged at the Sagamore Resort and dined often at the Pavilion. The restaurant resides on Lake George with beautiful views of the Adirondack Mountains. The Pavilion provides menu entrées for lunch and dinner. The service is attentive, friendly, and accommodating. The meals that we had were all good. But the most enjoyable dining experience was the views of Lake George. read more

My husband I had lunch at The Pavilion during our stay at The Sagamore. The quality of food is mediocre at best, which seems to be the standard for most places in this area. The service we received here was far better than the other restaurants in the resort. For appetizer we had the Crab Cocktail. The crab that was served was no doubt from a can. It was no where near a lump crab cocktail . The ambiance was calm. We were 1 of 3 couples dining in the lower level of the covered deck. For our meals we ordered Clam Chowder, the Lobster Roll, Crispy Scallops, and a side of Fried Shrimp. The chowder was actually better than expected, probably the best of what we ordered. The lobster roll was just that. Not bad, but nothing special. The scallops and shrimp were both a bit greasy. Nothing that would make me want to return. read more

Pavilion - View of Lake George - Bars Near Me - Bolton, New York

I had a great dinner at The Pavillon during my most recent stay at The Sagamore. This restaurant doesn't just have views of the lake... you are literally eating on the lake. If you can, be sure to time your dinner during sunset. The menu is pricey (as expected at The Sagamore) but the portions are large and the seafood is incredibly fresh. My pasta had so much shrimp and scallops, both perfectly pan seared. The tomato sauce was light and flavorful and they were able to make it mild instead of spicy which was appreciated. My husband's snapper was also incredibly fresh and well prepared. Service is wonderful and cocktails are strong. You can call ahead for a reservation which I suggest. Because of Covid they are also only accommodating hotel guests which is nice. This is a great option for a classy dinner or a more casual lunch if you want to grab something like a lobster roll or burger. If you stay at The Sagamore I do suggest dining here at least once! read more

We had the tuna app, margaritas, watermelon arugula salad, and the chicken fingers. The drinks were strong, the food was decent. Service was fast and views were amazing. Would return for the views. read more

Delicious and great ambience whether sitting outside by the gorgeous lake view or inside open air with heaters. Nice selection of fresh seafood. Enjoyed crab cakes and mussels for apps. Dinner was a fried shrimp basket for my husband and sea scallops for me. Both delish. Came back next night and ordered the sea bass which was superb as well. read more

Pavilion is the more casual restaurant on the property but has the best/most expansive views by being at the bottom of the property on a deck over the water. First come first serve, no reservations accepted. You don't know how badly I want to give 5 stars! -Service was fine -Drinks were tasty -Bread and butter was yummy But this review is really about the main course.. The fra diavolo dish is both a hit and a miss. The flavor of the actual seafood is delicious, crave worthy and done to near perfection. Not spicy (will talk about in a second) but for the seafood I didn't care as it was that good in flavor The problem? Pasta lacked flavor itself (but did taste fresh) and there was zero spice/peppers to make it an actual fra diavolo dish...if you didn't call it fra diavolo I guess this wouldn't matter as much :) $44 isn't cheap so why not go for the wow factor and at least give more mussels. It's the cheapest seafood for you to put on the plate, your sauté is amazing so why not add more so we say "wow"? (Even though it's an illusion because they are just mussels but it is all about the eye appeal and feeling a value!) Ya ya higher end property = high price and small portion but what a great feeling it would be to leave that unparalleled property view feeling like the dish was worth it and would get it again and again and make a point to return for it. What about being known for that dish guys?! Plus need I remind you this is your more casual restaurant here so keep the pretentious potions inside :) Your plate consists of: 1 split lobster tail- was plentiful and flavorful 3 shrimp- perfect size and flavor (would 2 more kill you?) 3 scallops- perfect size and flavor (would 1 more kill you?) 4 mussels- more great flavor! (Would 6-7 more kill you?) My mother also got this dish with the same seafood count so safe bet it is the usual portion... Come on, make me want to go back!!!! Good talk read more

Pavilion - Fra diavolo (both hit and a miss) - Bars Near Me - Bolton, New York

The was our first time at Sagamore and may very well be our last. While the views were great and the Sagamore as a whole is gorgeous, the Pavilion was an awful experience. Since we were told they don't take reservations, we got there early to put our name in and of course expected some wait. Did not expect the very unnecessary rudeness of the host Josh, who treated us like a major inconvenience throughout our 2 hours waiting. We were nothing but polite during a few check-ins over those 2 hours, but he snapped at us each time. Even threw in a snarky and of course insincere "enjoy" as we finally walked past to be seated. Food was meh, service meh, for what we paid. And restaurant was only half full by the time we sat since we waited so long. Very disappointing experience with The Pavilion. read more

Great service and location. Food okay and overpriced as expected. Came for the ambiance

This will be our fourth year staying at the Sagamore and every year our first night we go and eat at the pavilion because it makes us feel like we're at home. Love the atmosphere love the food love the company. read more

It was such a beautiful day Sunday, and ended up at the Sagamore. Decided to have lunch at the Pavilion. Perfect table with a million dollar view!!! Couldn't have asked for a more accommodating waiter. He was from South Africa and was very friendly. He had recommendations and actually went out of his way a few times for us. For starters we had the fried oysters, steamed clams, & seafood bisque. Everything was exceptional. The clam butter base was so good, we did a second order. I had the fish and chips. Light and fluffy. My brother raved about his mahi-mahi . My daughter loved the Lobster roll and it was packed high! Great drinks, carried s few of my husbands favorite scotches, and a no rush relaxed atmosphere . Can't wait to go in the fall at the height of peak season to capture some great foliage pictures as well! Great experience! read more

HORRIBLE! I hardly ever write reviews or complain to servers about my food. However, here I ordered Tuna Tartar for appetizer. The most bland dish I've ever had. Tuna was extremely fishy and avocado was raw. I mentioned it to the server when he asked how it was. He did apologize at first, but then returned and said that the chef and two other people in the kitchen tried it and said it was fine. Also went on about how they have the best fish, almost to the point where he was insulting my wife and I insinuating that we don't know what good seafood is. In the end, the $20, bland, fishy tuna was left on the bill without any real apology. We left feeling totally unsatisfied and kind of insulted. read more

We had our wedding rehearsal dinner here and it was nothing short of a nightmare. Our party of 9 waited an hour and a half for our meals and not a single one of them was warm upon arriving. Both my mother and mother-in-law had severely undercooked fish. My father-in-law's steak was quite undercooked and my brother in law's steak was so over cooked he could hardly chew it. I had the seafood linguini. It was very cold but I was too hungry to return it to the kitchen. Those of our party who did return their meals to the kitchen received them back almost immediately leading us to believe they were just microwaved. My mother was so upset she didn't even want a new meal and just didn't eat at all. They did replace the overcooked steak and offered us champagne to apologize. They comped our meals and the manager was very apologetic. Our server was very nice but there is obviously something very very wrong in the kitchen. I'm just glad we had our wedding somewhere else so we did not have to relive this catastrophic meal. For a resort and restaurant who boast class and quality, we were wildly disappointed in nearly every way. read more

We were in the area for a wedding but had time to waste during the day. We had heard a lot about the Sagamore and wanted to check it out, but while there we decided to get lunch as well. We chose the Pavilion due to the reasonable prices and the fact that we were casually dressed. The venue was located right on the lake. They had seating both under an awning and in the sun, though we sat under the awning. I spotted heat lamps on the ceiling as well which would make for a nice dinner when it's cooler out! The view was gorgeous from this location. The restaurant had a bar area as well as tables for sitting. The menu had wine and cocktails options, and food choices consisted of sandwiches, salads, some seafood and other entrees. The menu wasn't extremely expansive but there were plenty of options. We were all sold on the natural chicken sandwich so all four of us at the table got it. It was a natural chicken breast grilled with Monterey Jack cheese, avocado, bacon and honey mustard on a roll. You could either get it with fries or coleslaw and it came with a pickle. The sandwich was delicious! My friend has a gluten allergy as well and they were able to accommodate with both the bread and the French fries. The service was impeccable and quick. Definitely a beautiful place with delicious eats to stop and enjoy if in the area! read more

Amazing experience! The food is spectacular and the cocktails are perfect. Highly recommend

Food was decent, but the views are worth it. Recommend for a quick snack and a drink.

What a wonderful meal watching the sunset on Lake George. Located at the sagamore resort which holds its own beauty! Wonder seafood and stiff drinks. read more

Service, food, drinks, atmosphere were all amazing. Highly recommend this for any fellow tourists.

Service was excellent, drinks were perfect, food was outstanding, and setting was beautiful. We ordered the Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, Filet Mignon, a burger, and a kids meal...everything was spot on and nobody had any leftovers. Table next to use all ordered lobster rolls and seemed to really enjoy those as well. Highly recommend. read more

The Pavilion is definitley the superior restaurant if you are staying at the sagamore. However with that said it is not *amazing*. If it didn't have the amazing view it would not be receiving three stars. The food was fine at best. There are better places in the Bolton area to eat. I normally don't care about price is the restaurant is rated well and highly reviewed however the pavilion is too expensive for their quality of food and service. read more

It's nice to sit by the water but limited menu for lunch. Nice appetizer selection but only salads and sandwiches for entree

We did not wait long to be seated during lunch. The waiter was at our table within 2 minutes. We ordered the Caribbean Jerk boneless wings. My boyfriend and I were so surprised as to how delicious it was. We actually came back in the evening for more. We ordered the fried shrimp and the fish and chips. Both were delicious. The cod was so flakey! At night we returned for the third time and had a dessert in a jar. It was the turtle candy style one. It was a brownie with a mousse and whipped cream and pecans. It was amazing. Loved it. Can't wait to return. read more

Nice food, very good service and a setting that is amazing. Views of Lake George from the upper level add a splendor to the experience.

The view is nice Came for lunch Burger was low quality, food was expensive. Service very slow, we we're first in. Our original waitress disappeared and the new one took forever to give us the bill then to process it. So probably a win if you stick to drinks and a view. read more

Fantastic food, Amazing atmosphere. Stupendous service. We always eat dinner once at The Pavilion for each Lake George visit and this year was as good as ever. Our only complaint was that our guts were not ready for food this rich especially since portion sizes are now considerably larger than they once were. This promoted us to order multiple courses that we did not need. Not a bad problem to have though. Drinks and food were all great. Clam Chowder, Crab Spread, Seafood Pasta a La Spicy Vodka, Sushi Grade Tuna dinner, Lobster Tempura w/ Thai Coconut Sauce. All utterly fantastic! read more

Hard to give it a number. The setting and mixed drinks are great. You can't find a more picturesque view than this in most places. We had a wide variety of dishes. The lobster bisque was tasty, very rich and I recommend it. The Alaskan King Crab was very good. We ordered the chicken fingers for the kiddos and they were way way too salty. Granted we're coming from California so we may be a little overly health conscious, but when a kid tells you that their chicken is too salty, you know you've overdone it. read more

For the last few years during our annual visit to Lake George, on a beautiful day, we take a short drive to this Class A resort to enjoy lunch at their mesmerizing outdoor lakeside view restaurant. On this recent visit, before we even entered the hotel, guests can be seen riding a horse carriage (which I never saw in the past). Once you've exited the back of the hotel, you have a panoramic view of the lake, hotel pool, a great big lawn, the hotel itself which is at the top of a hill, and the long decorative center stairs leading down this big hill to the restaurant, where you now get to appreciate all kinds of water activity (boats, paddling, kayaking, ferries) taking place on the lake. Its no wonder there's always a wedding here. We have kids now, and the positive experience was no different. The food menu is simple but sufficient. The lobster roll, burger, fish sandwich, and chicken fingers served with fries all met our expectations and even if there was a deficiency (although there were none), it could easily be made up for by the picturesque view. After our meal, our toddlers/infant enjoyed running/crawling on the lawn. Our waiter, (Howard I believe), and other wait staff were engaging and truly representative of this high calliber resort. We look forward to repeating our annual lunch tradition and coming again here next year. read more

Great view, not great service, food was a let down. Lobster bisque was terrible, salads were fair at best. Salmon was just ok. Burgers were the best thing anyone in our party had. read more

Food was not fresh. Colesaw was stale. Both of us have got stomach issues right after. Other than food this place has beautiful view. Heating lamps in a ceiling made us comfortable during cold and rainy May morning. But all of it was cancelled by bad quality food that gives us instant diarrhea! read more

We enjoyed our picture perfect lunch at the Pavilion. I had the lobster roll ($19.00)and hubby had the fish and chips ($18.00). Both were excellent. Fish was fresh and the lobster was amazing. It was a beautiful setting and perfect to the last day of trip. Highly recommend! read more

Nothing but average quality on lunch and late night. Cocktails were bangin but the vittles left us all hangin. Ordered farmer's salad with grilled mahi, fish was cooked hours before ordered. Fish and chips were greasier than the BP spill in the gulf. Blue point oysters were spot on. Jumbo shrimp, although a contradiction, were also good. Lobster have his life needlessly for a roll. Grilled chicken sandwich was a fast food restaurant equivalent. Captive audience keeps this place on the lake going. Drive elsewhere unless your drinking and staying. read more

We had a fairly good meal for 4 of the 5 of us. We split nice salads to start. The fish dishes were good. Our daughter ordered Mac n cheese. It seemed to be reheated dry old food. The waiter could care less when we complained. read more

View cute place, with food settings inside with an overlook of the water or outside by the shore. They also have a bar, with great drinks selections. Service is great, and the view while eating . drinking is priceless. However, the only drawback is if you don't eat seafood, you'll find this place difficult to eat at. read more

We eat here several times during the season. The food is usually decent. Today I ordered the Boston Bibb Salad entree for the first time and ordered the grilled chicken with it. It comes with a "shower of Maytag blue cheese". Don't order it unless you expect an appetizer sized salad. There were very few lettuce leaves and you had to lift them up to find a few crumbs of blue cheese. Even the chicken was very skimpy. If my company hadn't offered me a couple of their shrimp and some french fries I would have gone away looking for another meal. I told the waitress if I had known how small the serving was going to be I would have ordered a different lunch. She was sympathetic but said the size was typical. I'll never order that again. read more

Incredible meal. We had the Tuna tacos as the appetizer, I had the New York Strip Steak, and my wife had the shrimp and lobster rice bowl. The location is simply impressive and the service is spot on. They even have a great drink/wine/beer list. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a great meal and wonderful Lake George experience. read more

Beautiful atmosphere! Great food and cocktails. We walked in without reservations and just sat at the bar. Had a great experience. They also have heated lamps...great idea!!!

They use fresh fruits and herbs too. read more
