The atmosphere and view at this restaurant are absolutely beautiful. The space is large and welcoming, perfect for a relaxing meal. I really enjoyed the appetizers, especially the onion soup — full of flavor! The salmon was also very good, though I wish it came with a bit more rice. That said, the portion overall was satisfying. The waitress and host were friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better. Would definitely come back!

Went for a last minute impromptu dinner and I was pleasantly surprised. We caught it during golden hour and the view was beautiful. The service was good and the food was great. We caught their apple special menu, the Duck was amazing! Enjoy!

To be honest, we were slightly disappointed with our night at the boathouse restaurant. For a highly rated restaurant, we expected better dishes. The Jaeger snitzle was very nice (Oktoberfest special), but shrimp linguine was okay at best. The pasta dish was drowned in sauce and tastes nothing out of the ordinary.
The service was good, people we’re respectful and timely for a busy night.

Fantastic dinner spot!
We kicked things off with the pretzel appetizer—delicious! I had the Bugatti margarita, which was fantastic, and their beer selection was good too. We tried a bit of everything: the salmon salad, clam chowder, and the New York strip—all of which were incredible. The steak was cooked perfectly and melted in your mouth.
The staff was friendly and efficient, and we appreciated how quickly they got our order in. Keep in mind, we visited in April during the off-season, so it wasn’t overly crowded. That might change during peak times, but it was perfect for us.
What really made the evening special was the view. We had calming lake views throughout dinner—definitely try to get a seat by the windows if you can. Highly recommend this place whether you’re celebrating something or just out for a casual Friday night like we were.

Beautiful views of the lake! The food and service were excellent! We had the Bavarian steak and Cajun salmon followed by the flourless chocolate cake. Everything was outstanding and I’m looking forward to returning on our next visit to Lake George.

We’re been here three or fours times before & after the 4th of July. Drinks are always cold, service & atmosphere are always superb. Great view of lake from outdoor patio with live entertainment Saturday evening.

We for lunch last week during octoberfest and had Diane as our waitress. She was friendly and attentive. Great view, a quiet late thursday lunch which we enjoy this time of year, as well as our week stay at The Lodges! I had a chicken sandwich, it was good but needed more seasoning, perhaps next time i’ll ask for it blackened. My husband enjoyed his turkey sandwich but got swiss cheese (he really dislikes swiss) instead of the cheddar he asked for. I encouraged him to speak up which he did and it was corrected promptly.. wine was good! overall, a nice time ! See you
In the spring!

Good food and view. Make reservations. It gets really busy and it can take a while to get your food so try to know what you want to order ahead of time and place your order with your drink order, especially if there are multiple large groups seated in your area.

Went here for our anniversary dinner. The food was delicious. Yes prices are a little high, but our portions were very substantial and we did not feel that we over paid. I’m
sure it has to do with the times we are in and trying to stay viable! Not sure where the negative reviews are coming from, specially in regards to the staff. We where greeted very nicely by the host and our waitress Kelly was top notch. We hope the owners realize the asset she is for their restaurant. Young gentleman that drove the golf cart also asked us how our dinner was. First time there, but will be back next time we are in town!
