My wife and I were there for 4pm to 8pm outdoor lite food and music served on the patio overlooking the lake. We got there about 5 pm. No problem finding a parking place. The view is good with water and mountains plus a few boats passing buy. But much of the view is taken up by the rental cottages that filled the shoreline. The music (guitar and singer) was good hitting lots of oldies, but the volume made conversation difficult even though we were at the further table from the speakers. The service was prompt, friendly and knowledgeable. My mojito would not pass muster in Miami. My wife's wine was ok, but not as good as what we have found at other area restaurants. The same is said for the food. It was OK but... the flat bread was bland. The Coconut shrimp was greasy. I've not eaten in the restaurant, but now I have second thoughts about trying it. read more

Hostess was less than smart. We arrived early to have drinks and was told we couldn't (covid/ cuomo) Hostess wouldn't seat us although there were many, many available tables. We left, then she called us 15 minutes later asking where we were? Huh? We didn't even get a reservation confirmation call which would have been helpful and was her job. My NY Sirloin arrived sliced! WTF? read more

Absolutely lovely location and surroundings but the night we were there for dinner in 2019, we were not impressed with the food or the service. Kitchen staff sometimes change and we would give the place another try in the future. read more

I was extremely disappointed with the service. For a restaurant of your quality, to have a teenager serve and not know the food and how to pronounce the dishes is very disheartening. From last year to this year there was a huge difference in the Restaurant. Your food is still excellent , but your service was awful. She made us rush through the meal. SERVED cold Cappuccino's . Then to top it off the rest of the party ordered expresso and they were also cold. $700.00 for the meal . Very , very upset. To say the least! read more

Five star prices with two star food quality. Atmosphere was pleasant. Staff was friendly. I actually felt bad that they had to apologize for the poor food quality. I don't recommend ordering any of the steaks. Their chef does not know how to properly cook one. Of the two steaks we ordered, both were overcooked, one to the point of being inedible. Also being understaffed, the waiter was unable to return to our table in a timely manner to ask if everything was ok. Would not recommend. read more

Wow! The food here is absolutely amazing. The head chef for sure knows what he's doing. I was a bit let down on the sparerib but my wife's pork chop was beyond expectations. We would 100% eat here again!! read more

We didn't make a separate reservation but the four breakfasts included in our recent stay at the Inn were very well-prepared and tasty. The service was impeccable throughout the hotel and the dining area. The decor is timeless and the light through very large windows makes the experience magical especially in the winter when you could see the snow touched trees. We ate the (using the menu's terminology) flapjacks, brioche french toast, frittata, two eggs, and smoked salmon platter. The smoked salmon seemed to be prepared in-house, and was so fresh and delicious that meal felt the most special. swerved with whipped cream cheese, red onion, capers and star fruit garnish, I was able to swap the bagel for toast, which I had enjoyed the previous days as well. Thank you to the staff for accommodating distanced tables, and for wearing masks! read more

Sometimes you need to do the right thing. That is what this establishment needs to learn. First I made a reservation about 6 days in advance for a Saturday night. I asked to sit outdoors, and they said that I would be accommodated if the weather cooperated. They required a credit card to hold the reservation. I assumed they wanted this, since they are crowded and then it would make sense. We arrived on Saturday and it was a beautiful evening. I assumed we were eating outside but we saw that they were hosting a wedding. No outdoor seating due the The Event. Listen, mistakes happen but this really inconvenienced me. I would not have reserved, if outdoors was not an option. I assumed a free drink was coming our way. We got nothing. Finally, the place was empty and NOW I understand why. Why do you require a CC? Now I understand who you are. Stay away. read more

Every summer we vacation at Lake George and last summer we had an extraordinary experience at this restaurant. The food was excellent and the service was incredible. Our waiter at the time was obviously very capable and had been in the industry for some time. So we booked again. Unfortunately, last night the experience was not so great. Although the food was up to standards, the service was absolutely terrible. Our server appeared to have little training and was incapable of taking care of our table. When reading us the specials it was obvious she wasn't familiar with them as she even mispronounced some of the descriptions. We asked for more bread and we're told that there wasn't enough to give people additional portions? Totally ridiculous considering that the eventual bill was over $700 for six people one of whom was a two-year-old child who ate pasta. Requests for certain things had to be made multiple times and the service was extraordinarily slow. And I don't mean slow because this is an upscale restaurant. I mean slow because we waited 10 to 15 minutes between courses. The appetizers were brought to the table which we advised the server we're going to be shared. But there were no extra plates provided which an experienced server would have known to do. When the main courses were brought to the table, which included a pork chop, pork belly, and filet medallions with beef short ribs, the server didn't even bring steak knives. Leaving us all sitting there until she eventually returned into the dining room and we could ask for steak knives. Finally, expressos and cappuccinos brought to the table were cold and by the time the desserts were brought to the table, the coffee had already been finished. The server never even bothered to ask whether we wanted refills. Had it not been for the kind conversation from Aziz, the meal would have been a complete and total disappointment. When you were running a high-end restaurant with, as I said, excellent food, it is unfortunate that the hard work of the chef is spoiled by seriously substandard service. read more

Let's set the scene: two hungry humans are driving up To Lake George for Labor Day weekend. They remember on a whim that the Erlowest had some of their favorite cocktails in town. They call the Erlowest pleadingly, hoping for a dinner reservation. They courteously and warmly made room in their reservation book. Enter us, a couple of foodies looking for a great meal with a view. That's where this story *really* begins. We just had to call out the other part because they were so hospitable. We started with dirty martinis by Andy. Perfect. We then moved to an outdoor table overlooking the lake, with Molly as our server. She was friendly, knowledgeable, kind, and incredibly attentive. We started with the paté and pickled shallots, accompanied by their delicious warm bread and olive tapenade. The amuse bouche started ya off with Wagyu beef and a subtle horseradish sauce. Everything we ate was delicious and well balanced. Then, came the main show. The strip steak was perfectly seasoned and cooked. It was likely one of my favorite steaks of my lifetime (I order a lottt of steak!) and was paired perfectly with duck fat fries and a rich sauce. When you can get a crust on a juicy steak, you're golden in my book. My dining companion had the scallops with lemon risotto. SO GOOD. Every bite made perfect sense. The chef is clearly talented and puts incredible thought and care into the food. If you are a foodie and come to Lake George, don't miss out on the Erlowest. My only regret is not taking photos of our food. Five stars for food. Five stars for ambiance. Five stars for service! read more

To start off there was no "fine dining" ambience, lights were up full blast. Food was wildly underwhelming (lacked flavor and creativity), small portions and over priced. Service was fine though. Definitely have no intention of going back or recommending to others. read more

Me and my wife were staying at the Erstlow inn and decided to dine in instead of driving to a restaurant. The decor was elegant. We were seated promptly. Our waitress was knowledgeable and very attentive. We had bay scallops for our appetizers and were cooked perfectly! As for our dinner it was delicious and the home made ice cream was incredible. Will definitely be back read more

The manager Josh saved the day when our reservation was misplaced and set us up with the patio dining experience we'd been expecting. Our great waiter Adam completed the terrific service experience and ensured that we enjoyed a special dinner at this remarkable location. read more

The Inn at Erlowest is a spectacular stone castle, perched on the shores of Lake George in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York. It was also the setting for the "wedding of the century" (better known as my niece's wedding) this past Fall. Although numerous wedding photos can be found on the main listing for the Inn at Erlowest, this review is about the excellent breakfast that I enjoyed in their restaurant. It was early in the morning, and while most of my relatives were still shaking off the effects of the rehearsal dinner from the night before, I climbed the hill from my townhome to enjoy a delicious breakfast in the Green Room at the Inn. This elegant dining room is known for their beautiful leaded glass windows, and intimate dining space near the fireplace. Thankfully it was still warm during my niece's wedding weekend, so the fireplace was for decoration and not a necessity. I ordered a pot of hot tea, along with a glass of freshly-squeezed orange juice (You can take the guy out of Florida, but you can't take Florida out of the guy). For my breakfast, I enjoyed two eggs Sunny-side up with Yukon Gold Potato home fries, and a side of wild boar bacon. My server kindly brought me an extra side of the blueberry venison sausage since I wanted to try that as well. This was a locally-sourced, and very delicious breakfast. If you're not a fan of traditional eggs and breakfast meats, they also offer smoked salmon, pancakes, French toast, yogurt, and Steel-cut oatmeal. read more

Food was good service was horrible. The place overbooked and was understaffed. Better options to dine in the lake George area.

We had the best time here for a birthday dinner. Lovely table outside overlooking the lake. Outdoor fireplace. service was impeccable, wine pairing suggestions were on point. Food was absolutely delicious. We've booked a trip back up to the Adirondacks just to have another terrific meal there. Win win! read more

The food was unbelievable. We split everything. Started with salad and apple soup. Salad was great but the apple soup was fabulous. For dinner the rib eye was outrageous. Cooked to perfection. Mary was our waitress she was spot on with her suggestions. She recommended the sorbet for the end of the night dessert. It was so good' would highly recommend this restaurant. The atmosphere is elegant and beautiful. A must in Lake George for a special dinner. read more

I was prepared to hate it because I HATE overspending on meals- but this place really rises up to the challenge. First, the views are breathtaking. Second, the staff is helpful and not pretentious. Third- the food! Drinks to dessert- it is fresh, local and delicious. The menu is limited. Look at it up front before you go. The one gripe I had is that my steak (perfect temperature, great flavor) did not come out hot. I casually mentioned it to my waitress and it was promptly taken care of. The ice cream is a real treat. This place is a gem. read more

Best place to eat in the region, hands down. Everything is delicious and the service is great! I had the seared foie Gras to begin, then they sent out a melon mojito sorbet as a palette cleanser (so good I ate 2), then I had the veal chop, and the banana split for dessert. Only thing slightly disappointing was there is no banana in the split, it's the chefs interpretation...but still good. Loved it! Will return! read more

I've really got to give it five stars. It was pretty perfect from appetizer to dessert. I had the scallop appetizer, which was just a dream. I had the Mrs. and the mojito cocktails, which had the right amount of alcohol. We both had venison, which was expensive but I understand. Chef really knows what he's doing in every department, especially plating. Beautiful service from beautiful Dina. It felt like an experience more than just a meal. I'll remember this date night as a key highlight of my trip. read more

Terrific food and excellent service. Beautiful setting overlooking the lake. We will be back!

A beautiful spot, a stunning repurposed "cottage" of yesterday's 1%, with fine service and an impressive wine cellar. One in the group had a pork chop she described as wonderful. I opted for the seafood suggestions, and discovered where hell now is. Scallops with a pesto sounded great, and the waitstaff raved. Two quarter-sized overdone scallops arrived; that the tab for these sorry specimens was $16 got my attention. Then the seafood soup arrived, with mushy fish, rubber band clams, and 4 indifferent mussels. Staff comped the drinks when alerted to the trouble. Clearly, the chef wasn't there, and the line cook had issues. I'd go back, if the high prices didn't make it too much of a gamble. read more

I had the pork chop. It was the best pork chop I have EVER had. The veggies were also amazing. We finished with the Creme Brulee. We decided to eat outside which was heavenly but the decor inside is outstanding. read more

Hidden Gem of Upstate NY! The restaurant is located in the beautiful Inn near Lake George. The architect and the decor of the hotel gives you a feeling you are in Europe. Most importantly, food is just an amazing. Great atmosphere and waitresses is very polite and friendly. I had pork belly as starter and Gnocchi as a main. Both dishes were generous in portions. Pork was so tender and perfectly seasoned. Gnocchi with bolognese sauce was incredible, too. I just wanted to keep eating the incredible gnocchi, texture is super soft yet sweetness of potatoes perfect with bolognese sauce. And of course the dessert, creams brûlée was perfectly done, not too sweet and perfect texture. I would definitely recommend for romantic dinner. read more

The restaurant is in a former stately home that looks like a castle. The magnificent building is also an upscale hotel with a beautiful view. Dinner was served in a small, quiet, formal dining room with plush decor and all the right touches. The server was charming, the service was impeccable but friendly, and the food was excellent - starting with the amuse-bouche tailored to our meatless requirements. We ordered fish dishes that were done to perfection with delicately flavored sauces and original accompaniments. The maple creme brûlée for dessert was light and delicious. There is also an impressive wine selection by the glass or bottle. Hats off to this chef. read more
