Dined in the Wikoff Room. The views were spectacular with our table by the windows overlooking the lake. The wait staff were fantastic. They were knowledgeable on menu and wines. They were not hovering but knew when to be at table which is refreshing. Appetizers were Lobster Bisque which had plenty of pieces of fresh lobster in it and had a wonderful bisque. Also had shrimp cocktail. Shrimp tender and not overcooked. Pleasant horseradish cocktail sauce that had a decent amount of horseradish in it – not too weak but not overpowering. Bread basket had a great variety of choices. Fresh and plenty for the two of us. Main dish Saffron Lobster Tonnarelli with plenty of lobster and the pasta is house made. I snuck a few bites of pasta and you know it’s homemade. Also, Filet of Beef that was done to my perfection. Beef was tender, potatoes light and creamy with vegetables. I was really impressed with the delicate vegetables that were just right and the potato puree that was light as a cloud but you could savor the wonderful taste of potato. The wine selection is wonderful. We had a glass of the Sauvignon Blanc Salt River and Pinot Noir Zorzal Gran Terroir, Mendoza. Dessert was a maple cheesecake which was light and creamy. Not the NY-type which is denser. The Crème Brûlée was crunchy on outside and creamy on the inside. Added fresh fruit was nice. Both of us thoroughly enjoyed our meal and were reflecting on how many restaurants in the upstate NY area would be able to compete with the food and service. Not many so will definitely be back.

Beautiful interior, great service. We had the butter chicken karaage, ahi tuna tostada, venison Bolognese, and the special shrimp bucatini, side of brussel sprouts. Everything was good, though we had a few thoughts. The brussel sprout side was limitedly seasoned, would have preferred something with more added flavor than just the base brussel sprout. Old fashioned got diluted a bit too quickly due to the small ice chunks. We also noticed some of the hosts were frustrated with each other it was a bit awkward. Overall, enjoyable and tasty.

This was easily the best dining experience we’ve ever had. From the minute we were greeted at the front door with warm towels we had incredible service. The atmosphere was very classy and the restaurant was beautifully decorated. Stacey was our server and took excellent care of us. She was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The food was INCREDIBLE to say the least. The steak was cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. They added personal touches to our menu and dessert to make our anniversary special. Highly recommend this restaurant and we will definitely be back.

For those looking for a high-end restaurant experience, this is a perfect venue. It was a pleasant surprise seeing my family name on the menu! Truly flattering and well-appreciated!
The view of the lake is quite spectacular! The vantage point is as good as it gets.
Everything on the menu list is selected with a great deal of attention to details. The chicken is local. The beef is from Argentina, pork from a local NY farm. The maple cheesecake is made with local maple syrup (and maple cotton candy!!!).
Award-winning wine list! The pinot from Pike Road, Willamette, Oregon (one of the best pinots I’ve had: wonderfully aromatic – scents of wild berries, balanced taste – neutral ph, very pleasant but definitely dry) and the sauvignon blank (very well-balanced, a bit on the sweet side, good finish, lighter) from South River, South Africa were excellent as anticipated.
Excellent service from our waiter Milosh!

The atmosphere, service and special touches were very much appreciated. These extras made the experience worth it. Slightly disappointed in my salmon meal, it was too overwhelmed with balsamic and without it, it was boring. All of the other food was good though, perhaps it was an off night.

Amazing dinner! 5 stars all the way! My husband and I came here for our anniversary dinner and it truly felt special. Our waitress Kassondra was excellent…it felt like she went out of her way to make our dinner feel special, even concluding the meal with a photo of us. The wine selection was very impressive, no surprise they win awards for it. I had a really nice light red with blueberry and tea leaf flavors from the Finger Lakes Region. The fritter balls and carbonara appetizers were so delicious. The gnocchi was amazing! My husband really liked his braised beef cheek, said it was outstanding. A beautiful evening all around with a great view!

The service was impeccable. The food was delicious and the view was nice too.
We ate there 2 nights in a row and enjoyed our meals both nights. There were different specials both nights.
We were delighted with a special personalized welcome that was added to our menus.

Such a cute restaurant for a romantic dinner date when you are in the lake placid area. Even though the restaurant is not right on the lake, it has great views of mirror lake. The meal is served in 3 courses and uses many local ingredients. You don’t have to order all 3 courses if you’re not hungry though. The first and second courses were excellent. The final
Entree dishes were huge and I probably could have just ordered one entree and been satisfied. The wine list is extensive and very good. Service was excellent as well.

I’m not sure what happened to this restaurant. I’ve been going to restaurants since 1979 in Lake Placid. This was my favorite and now it’s my least favorite. The Reuben was very strange open faced with coleslaw and the meat was like hard. It made me extremely sick I had to pull my car over into the woods. I was very ill after eating it and probably should’ve gone to urgent care, but I was not near one. The price on the menu was lower than what they charged me on all my food that I ordered. I would not recommend this restaurant anymore . The food was not good. The new boy greeter was the most pleasant person there, but the prices were changed on my receipt on everything I ordered. Extremely disappointed

Mixed reviews among our party on the View. The food was fine, but didn’t match the prices. Good reviews on the pork cheek; mediocre on the salmon. Delicious dessert, but not for $18. The biggest issue was the welcome message touting the owners’ commitment to sustainability, then the featured dish of Chilean sea bass, which outside of orange roughy, is just about the least sustainable fish you could serve. I’m guessing this incongruity is due to differences in ethos of the owners vs the chef, but if you’re going to go with a chef that serves chilean sea bass (which admittedly guests don’t have to choose if they don’t wish), don’t then try a sustainability message to diners as a welcome. It kind of ruined the mood (at least for one of us) for the rest of the dinner.
