    Spent the day at High Falls Gorge with the beautiful waterfalls here and the nature trail. We had lunch with food from the Riverside Café located here at High Falls Gorge. The food was outstanding. I have to say I had a gorge burger that was top-notch one of the best burgers I've ever had, Cook perfectly and seasoned perfectly. My wife had a chicken salad sandwich which she raved about, it was served on a croissant with some mixed greens. Looked great. Our granddaughter had chicken fingers that she finished completely. We were very happy. Now I know why this place was so busy with the food being so good! I don't know where the other reviewer was at when she said it was dirty. This place was clean and charming. You could also take you good out got the picnic area and eat riverside.

    My lunch was awful. I had a chicken sandwich that was in no way freshly cooked. It looked and tasted like they'd cooked it days ago, pulled it out of the fridge and made a sad attempt to reheat it and they messed that up because it was still cold. This dud was served with greasy sour cream flavored chips and an unappealing broccoli salad. I gave up trying to eat it halfway thru and as I was still hungry, I bought a peanut butter cookie at the gift shop store that was delicious. I recommend you eat anywhere else. The servers were nice. One star is for them.

    Hidden behind the souvenir shop at High Falls Gorge, this nondescript place took me by surprise with its fresh and delicious lunch options. I got the Artisanal Veggie Pizza and honestly, I wasn't expecting it to be artisanal or have too many veggies. Wrong on both counts! The pizza was so well done - crisp but not charred, had a mix of crumbly feta and cheddar, and the toppings included zucchini and red peppers. Fantastic! Other dishes on table included a tomato basil soup, grilled cheese and a trout sandwich. Everything was super fresh and had the best ingredients - you could taste it...no skimping. Definitely recommend. They need to add an outdoor seating area with a view of the beautiful falls in summer to make this a truly memorable experience.

    The food was great and the service was kind and friendly. However we were appalled we were charged $2 a piece for our young children to drink water!

    Friendly staff, the food was tasty, and the wine was great too. I liked the alcove area with the fireplace and the couch. My only recommendation would be to add a dimmer switch in the alcove area. The overhead lights were rather bright for an after dinner drink. The place is cozy and a great addition to the local food choices.

    I visited HFG and tried out their newly renovated restaurant and was I impressed. The food was excellent and included the freshest of ingredients. Chef Tim adds new specials every day and the service was impeccable. The view of the Ausable with Whiteface in the background was amazing. Local and regional beers and wine are available. I highly recommend this for your casual dining experience for breakfast or lunch.

    Needed a place to stop for something to eat and drink. This was the closest place and it ended up…read morebeing a great little stop. We were in the mood for lunch and they were only serving breakfast that Sunday. So, we opted for the most lunch-ish thing available that wasn't too heavy. Bagels and cream cheese. They were perfectly toasted and there was plenty of spreadable cream cheese. It made for a perfect light lunch. I don't eat eggs, so it did limit my options. If you do eat eggs, their breakfast dishes with eggs look amazing. Of course, we tried the coffee. It was very good and we loved the mugs. The place is rustic-charming. The service was good. It's a busy place. We loved the regulars who stopped in and didn't even need to say what they wanted. The servers already knew. The service is good but slow. Not sure if that's because they were busy or if they're just not the type to rush things. The bathrooms are clean. There is an up-charge for credit cards. It's hard to resist buying mugs and coffee to take home. The cookies were so hard to resist we bought some to keep us snack-happy on our travels. Definitely a good place to stop.

While I haven't had the opportunity to try the entire menu just yet, I can say confidently the home fries live up to the hype. I understand why they're called home fries because they reminded me of home. It looks like they're doing some renovation on the second floor, I wonder if that'll result in even more seating. If that's the case then it'll take this cafe to the next level.
