Loved the atmosphere inside. The posters in the ceiling and a great view of the lake from inside. The food was pricey but fair. Ordered the buffalo chicken dip, bbq pulled pork sandwich. Had the snowstorm to drink and enjoyed that. That was hot chocolate, whipped cream and liquor. Overall, I’d go back for the atmosphere but might try a different entree.

The Cottage is a true gem!
This is over my third time coming to The Cottage and I am proud to say that I have never been disappointed every time I have been here. The building is small but makes dining with family or friends very intimate.
We didn’t get food this time, just drinks, but we saw the food coming out of the kitchen and it all looked spectacular. The bartender was very nice and kept her station clean.
They have a beautiful view of Mirror Lake and have indoor and outdoor seating available that are both handicap accessible.
This place fills up quick so be sure to make some time for The Cottage the next time you’re in the ADKs!

Absolute gem hanging over mirror lake at the end of the strip in lake placid.
Food was amazing, and can see how this cosy pub becomes a top apres spot in the winter. Had the Lucy special, the chili, and the soup of the day, all were fantastic.

We enjoyed dinner here. We reached around 6 PM so wait time was approx 40 mins. We took some drinks while we waited. There’s a dedicated seating space for guests in the queue.
The bar is rich and drinks are served in around 10 minutes, despite the busy hours.
Staff is friendly and attentive.
Food is average. Some items were fresh while some were more like pre-made and felt stale.
What deserves a special mention?
It’s a good place to enjoy drinks during evening with some snack.
What could be better?
The wait area chairs and table could be cleaner. Nobody enjoys sitting on stained couch/chair.
This place has great views, if they improved the quality of food, it would be a must visit option.

I liked the lunch I had here today. I ordered The Cottage house chili. And a pesto/mozzarella artisan flatbread. And their blackberry lemonade cocktail. All very good. The views of Mirror Lake are gorgeous from the restaurant windows. Safe travels.

Went because my brother and sister recommended and have been coming for years, they were national figure skaters and said this place was their favorite.
It was 6 pm and my wife and I got a seats right away. Then figuring what we would get asked about their black bean burger to see if there was cheese in it. Waiter didnt know. So asked about the egg salad sandwich but they had “run out” so asked about the tuna tacos and “they had just sold the last one”
Three strikes and you are out!
I should have got up after the egg salad answer. I mean, who runs out of egg salad and doesn’t make more in 10 minutes?
If a place doesn’t know its ingredients and can’t keep dinner menu together till 6 PM, you shouldn’t be in business.
Sad and pathetic. Do not spend the time looking for parking and walking the distance to this place.
If this is what you are to expect from the hotel too, do not waste your cash here or the hotel.

Stopped for an afternoon snack after a pleasant walk around Mirror Lake. The cheese board, humus and chili were actually quite good but not exceptional. The atmosphere, overlooking the lake, is spectacular, especially when you couple that with the interior of the bar, which looks like the inside of a quaint, small, old-time cottage. Our table service was actually pleasant and efficient. It was the maître d that left a bad taste. We had asked for a “deck” table (outside) that had four seats (there was four of us) and there was just such a table available and she refused to seat us outside. She was asked three times and refused and when we left 90 minutes later, that table was still empty and had remained empty the entire time. Cost with drinks and snacks, tax and tip included, was $30 USD per person.

A wonderful, charming spot right above Mirror Lake.
The view from the window is stunning, and the food is absolutely delicious—every dish is pure delight. The fact that you allow dogs to join their families during meals makes the experience even more exceptional. Thank you for providing such an amazing opportunity. Grateful on behalf of our family and our four-legged daughter! ❤️

Went last year, fell in love and came back twice this year. We were not disappointed. When it was an hour wait on the Fourth of July, they allowed us to order drinks inside and sit in a drinks only section with our dogs which had some of the best views of the lake.
The next day we went and got lunch there and sat outside on their patio with the dogs. Not only were they accommodating to our dogs, but the food was great. Can’t wait to come back next year.

We decided to drive to Lake Placid for the day take in the fall foliage. We always stop at the Cottage. I had the Lisa, roast beef melted cheese and potato chips. My wife had the Pulled Pork. Both lunches were delicious. The view is amazing looking over the water and the surrounding countryside with the fantastic fall colors.
