Sliders were pretty darn good as was the pizza and chicken fingers. I had to upgrade to curly fries from the chips - Personal pet peeve of mine. No one wants fucking potato chips with an 18 dollar meal! Stop being greedy already! My wife got them and they sucked. Server was just OK, not really attentive. Host was more interested in his phone than seating people. I've been here b4 and the bar is solid, just not when I have my kids LOL. All in all it's not the best, but it's consistently not the worst. I will go back because I know what to expect.

We visited for dinner during a recent trip to Lake George, making reservations for our party of 8…read morein advance. The location was ideal - right on the water and near so many cute shops in town. We were a little early for our reservation, so we explored the back for a bit (our reservation was inside). We enjoyed the picturesque landscape and beautiful lights illuminating the yard - this would be a lovely spot for a party or even a small wedding. Inside was also lovely with quaint decor; I particularly loved the simple seasonal hydrangeas on the table. There was a little confusion with our reservation at first, but after sorting that out, we were seated at a comfortable table for our party. Not surprisingly, the menu focuses on seafood and fresh ingredients. We started with the graham cracker encrusted calamari, which was a unique take on a classic dish that worked well! Very crunchy and refreshing. For my entree, I went with the crab-stuffed flounder, which was delightful. I enjoyed the risotto accompanying it and the fresh sauce and arugula. A filling but not stuffing meal that was high quality! Our dining partners all enjoyed their meals as well, focusing mostly on their seafood options. We split a bottle of white wine, which paired nicely with all our entrees and starters. We did not get dessert, and I did not pay for this meal, so I cannot speak to the after dinner menu or the prices. The ambience was excellent and the food was delicious and fresh, so I would definitely return on future visits to Lake George, hopefully sitting outside next time!

I had every expectation that it would the perfect setting for a quiet dinner with a lovely view, exceptional cuisine and attentive service. Unfortunately, for a restaurant of this caliber, they did not meet the mark. Let's start with the good stuff. They have a parking lot which is really appreciated in Bolton Landing, NY. We were warmly greeted at the door and wished Happy Anniversary. We were seated on the porch (our choice of tables because there was only one set of two diners in the restaurant at 6 p.m. on a Sunday night). Off to a good start. I commented about the pretty dress the hostess (at least we assumed she was) who seated us was wearing. A sweet Jamaican gal who goes by "Skinny Girl" offered water and chatted with us (we recognized her Caribbean accent and asked her which Jamaican parish she was from). She was more attentive to us during the evening than our waiter, Owen (he was clearly overwhelmed handling tables on the porch as well as on the patio outside). To his credit, Owen was honest about the crab legs and we were grateful. Service was slow, from drinks to getting the bill. What really rattled our chains is that the hostess in the pretty dress visited diners at every table on the porch - sometimes more than once - except us. We felt ignored. Our drinks were very good. The specialty of the house (a cucumber concoction) was actually the signature drink at our wedding. My husband enjoyed it. My Blood Orange Martini was delicious, albeit $18 which I thought was more like NYC prices. Appetizers were good. I ordered the Escargot which was served on puff pastry with a light cream sauce. Delicious. My husband's Grilled Clams did not look to be grilled at all, and swimming in what appeared to be the same cream sauce as my Escargot which, because he is lactose intolerant, was a concern. My husband's Chef's Choice steak was strip steak, cooked rare as requested, and served over truffle mashed potatoes with asparagus spears on the side. While pricey st $65, he was pleased. I ordered the venison, rare ($41). What was served to me were 2-1/2 small medallions of which two were rare and one was seriously well done (could not eat it). Spinach was on the side. I would have loved some of the yummy truffle mashed potatoes that accompanied my husband's steak. Again, with no one paying attention to us, by the time our waiter came to check on our food, my husband was already finished with his meal. So Owen's offer to return my overcooked venison to the kitchen was not an option. I packed my dinner to go. We asked for an order of churros to share and two coffees (the espresso machine apparently wasn't working). The coffee was old and barely lukewarm. We asked for replacements. One would think that the kitchen staff would try to make up for their two errors and at least provide us with fresh replacements. Nope. They probably microwaved the first two cups. I did not drink mine. This restaurant claims to be rated among the top 100 in the country. We certainly expected better service and care worthy of their New York City prices. I've worked in the hospitality industry for over 40 years and would never disrespect customers like that, especially when they chose my restaurant for a special occasion. So yes, I was disappointed. Would we give Chateau on the Lake another chance? We have so many wonderful choices in Saratoga and Albany (which would have been the same distance). Maybe.

The manager or owner was super friendly and welcoming as were his staff. The place was recently renovated and lends to a nice nautical theme right amid a mountain town. My only recommendation is for silverware to be refreshed rather than asking diners to use the same as used for appetizers. I would also invest in proper fish silverware. The chef does magic with the fish and the serving should not take away from it. I would return.

We come to this restaurant several times each summer, usually by boat (though it's just as easy to…read moreget to by car). Even though it's always busy in the summer months, we've never waited more than about 20 minutes for a table even with a group of 6-12 people. The service can be hit or miss. We've had some excellent servers, but this last visit was disappointing. Our server took our order, dropped off the food, and we didn't see her again until it was time for the check. For me, that's unacceptable; servers should always check in at least once after meals are served. The food itself is good. A lot of our group has their "go-to" dishes, and mine is the steakhouse burger on a GF bun. I really appreciate that they offer gluten-free options and let you swap fries for whatever potato they're serving (baked, mashed, etc.). My mother-in-law loved the shrimp tacos, and the Hawaiian shrimp bowl is another favorite, but definitely ask for light sauce, otherwise it's too heavy. The dock staff are always great - super helpful getting boats in and out, and we really appreciate them. We keep coming back for the ease of docking, the views, the atmosphere, and a solid dinner with drinks. Honestly, it beats a lot of the other spots on the lake.

After already visiting Caldwell's and Dr. Brown's Pub, La Bella Vita was our final stop for dinner. The setting is absolutely lovely, and I can only imagine how spectacular it must be in the summer overlooking Lake George. Even in the winter, it felt warm and inviting, and the dining room was pleasantly busy. Our meal was very good and satisfying. We enjoyed the prime rib, and our friends ordered a pasta dish -- everything was flavorful and nicely prepared. We truly had a nice evening. The only small disappointment was that the lunch menu on Friday and Saturday in the Caldwell was the same exact menu for dinner in La Bella Vita. There were only a few entrée options, including sandwiches and pizza that we had already tried. We may have been expecting something a bit more grand or elevated for dinner. That said, overall it was a very nice experience. Prices are on the higher side, but that's to be expected at a beautiful resort like this. We're grateful for a lovely weekend and look forward to returning.

Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly, and asked if we wanted to sit outside overlooking the lake, or inside, and we of course said outside. We had prime seating on the terrace and enjoyed the lush greenery and the lake waking up. There was a comfortable breeze that made the whole experience top notch. Our waiter, Fabian, was super sweet, friendly, and full of smiles. We decided to do the al a carte option as opposed to the buffet, even though many of the other patrons who were staying at the Sagamore did do this. I had my heart set on the thick cut stuffed French toast, because it's fancy and I'm 40 now so why not - while hubby got their lobster eggs benedict. The food came out beautiful and was just as delicious! My french toast was piled high with berries and powdered sugar, and hubby's eggs came with rosemary roasted potatoes. We cleaned out our plates happily.
