This Place is great! In Saratoga, there are 2 other options for cigars: James and Sons, and Smokin…read moreSams. James and Sons has a decent selection, but I've been there 3 time, and 3 times I've been charged more than the sticker price on the cigars. Whether the guy there just mis-types the prices, or if he purposefully overcharges doesn't matter. It's ridiculous either way. There's a small lounge area there, but it's always occupied by a bunch of guys that seem like regulars, and I've never felt comfortable there, even as a native Saratogian. Smokin Sams is where I prefer, but they have less selection, and high prices. They always make you fell welcome there, but there's nowhere really to stay and smoke. Adirondack Cigar is the best by far. Lots of luxurious seating, huge selection, and refreshments on hand for $1. The stogies are just as expensive as any other brick and mortar, but the experience is worth it. I whole-heartedly recommend stopping by to enjoy a good cigar at a nice place if you're ever in town. I can't wait to go back!

Be that as it may, I have been to a few cigar shops with my fiance, and Badger's Cigar Den is a one of a kind experience. Every person who walks through their doors, be it a regular customer or a newbie, is greeted in the same friendly, helpful manner. Nate will help you pick out the perfect cigar, whether you're a first time cigar smoker or a cigar aficionado. The atmosphere is laid back and intimate. You may choose to sit up front at the counter (check out the leg lamp, it's hilarious), or lounge in the back of the shop in one of the comfortable chairs, sipping coffee, smoking a good cigar, chatting, and watching TV. We live about an hour from the shop, but my fiance will visit at least once a week. He enjoys the customized pipe tobacco blends that Nate prepares, as well as the selection of boutique cigars that you can't find at many shops.

The stench was strong, it took maybe ten minutes or so for us to realize what exactly the smell was...within half an hour our eyes were burning. The waitstaff was uninformed, offered a poor recommendation for what was ultimately a bad glass of wine (unacceptable for a "wine bar"), and took a specific order for a cocktail which we were then told actually came from a can (?!). We'll never go back.

I stopped in with a buddy, we grabbed a cigar, and a cup of coffee (which was amazing) and played some golf in the simulator located in the back. This is a great place to stop in and relax, comfortable couches and big chairs. Plenty of television and good staff. Next time I'm in the area I will be coming back to visit.

We made reservations, which I highly recommend, and…read morechose it for my husband's 50th birthday celebration after another restaurant at the resort had completely missed the occasion the night before. No acknowledgment, candle, or mention of his birthday despite it being noted, so our expectations were modest. From the moment we arrived and were served cucumber water that was VERY refreshing, the Gem delivered a much better experience. The atmosphere was lively and inviting, and our server was friendly, attentive, and genuinely engaged throughout the meal. The cocktail menu was creative and fun. While I felt the pours were a bit shallow for $18-$20 drinks, and the oversized ice cubes seemed to take up a lot of glass real estate, the drinks themselves were well-made and enjoyable. The food was the star of the evening. Everything we ordered was delicious, and it was easily one of our better meals during the trip. When it came time for dessert, we asked if they could add a candle so we could celebrate my husband's birthday. Unfortunately, the dessert station had already closed, leaving bread pudding as the only option available. While that was a bit disappointing, our server went out of their way to make the moment special by bringing over a mini mint cordial. There was still no candle, but the thoughtful gesture was genuinely appreciated and meant far more than a scripted birthday acknowledgement. The Gem struck a great balance between good food, a fun atmosphere, and attentive service. Our only regret is that we didn't have another day to try the outdoor seating area in the back, which looked fantastic. Maybe next time!

Most Americans generally associate slow-cooked, wood-smoked meat with the southern regions of these…read moreUnited States. Finding respectable barbecue in upstate New York requires a slight adjustment of geographic expectations. The Gem, located in Bolton Landing, attempts this feat with a wood-fired smoker and an ambitious cocktail program. My wife ordered the smoked chicken wings and a side salad. The wings possessed a deep smoky flavor and properly rendered skin. The salad performed its minimal duties without incident. My youngest son consumed the kids cheese fries. They were sufficient to satisfy an 11 year old's palate, though underwhelming when subjected to adult inspection. I selected the brisket, which spent hours absorbing hardwood smoke. The flavor was rich and beefy, though the cut was somewhat leaner than I prefer. In my experience, truly magnificent brisket requires a generous layer of rendered fat to achieve complete structural tenderness. This was good, but it was not that. The genuine masterpiece at our table belonged to my oldest son, who ordered the pulled pork. It was moist, tender, and properly seasoned. I found myself eyeing his plate with the quiet envy of a father who made the wrong selection at the counter. To assist with the meat, the establishment places four distinct sauces at every table: Texas Red, Carolina Copper, Georgia Mustard, and Alabama White. Experimenting with all four is an enjoyable exercise in flavor chemistry. The bar produces some of the finest craft cocktails in Bolton Landing, maybe in the entire Lake George region. The drinks are mixed with intelligence and high-quality spirits, which helps soothe the human nervous system after a long day in the sun. The primary defect of The Gem is monetary. Prices in Bolton Landing include an unwritten tax levied on tourists. Other local establishments justify these steep prices by offering a view of Lake George. The Gem sits on Lake Shore Drive, offering a view of asphalt and passing automobiles instead of water. Paying high-end prices for barbecue without a lake view attached makes the final bill a bit harder to digest. Still, the pulled pork and the cocktails were good enough to warrant a return visit. One must simply prepare to surrender a few extra dollars for the privilege.
