- “We stayed at The Clarion next door and had lunch at the Grille the day we arrived and were treated great. We returned for dinner the next day and our server was one of the best ever. The food came out quickly for the kids and our dinner came out as ordered. Service was over the top!” - “ There are not a lot of restaurants open in Lake George in the winter but this place is worth going to anytime. My family and I had dinner here and walked out very happy about how good everything tasted.”
“The BEST food, drinks and atmosphere in this area, PERIOD!”
