Restaurant Options within a close
driving distance (5 minutes to ½ hour) of our Adirondack hotel
Chestertown -
The Friends Lake Inn* 518-494-4751 is
very close-. They have a fine dining menu
and great wine list in the historic main
dining room and they offer a light menu in
the Bistro.
Main St Ice Cream*, is the
quintessential luncheon spot but they also
serve an additional entrée or 2 in the
evening. Be sure to save room for dessert!
OP Fredericks
(closed Mondays) has casual fare, burgers
and such but also nice pasta, chicken and
beef entrees. Good food and a nice bar in a
nice casual setting.

casual Italian.
Suzy Q’s in Brant
Lake is also casual fare with an Adirondack

pizza….
North Creek/Johnsburg -
Café Sarah
has lite breakfast options and great
sandwiches.
Black Mountain Lodge has a
very good casual dinner.
BarVino**
is a (personal favorite) wine bar with “big
wines, small plates” that just opened next
door! Check out their Jazz Nights on
Wednesdays. At Copperfield’s try casual fare
at Trapper’s
or the contemporary Northern Italian menu at
Lorenzo’s.
Olmstedville - Don’t miss
The Owl at
Twilight** (Fridays and
Saturdays) 518-251-4696. Very small romantic
restaurant with fireplace and great wine.
Eclectic dining with a Puerto
Rican/Southwestern flair. Make sure you save
room for dessert!
Diamond Point -
The Inn at Erlowest* 518-668-5928 is a
magnificent renovated mansion on
"Millionaires" row. It is fine dining in a
very intimate luxurious atmosphere. Enjoy a
drink before dinner on the porch overlooking
beautiful Lake George.
Pottersville -
Cafe Adirondack
(Thurs-Sun) 518-494-5800 is
a BYOB with good food. Ditto The Wells
House, with their casual menu in “Once Upon
a Moose Café” or the fine dining “Country”-
518-494-5995.
Warrensburg -
The Grist Mill
518-623-8005 (only open Mother’s
Day-November 1st) in Warrensburg overlooks
the Schroon River and is a very old
renovated Grist Mill. It has very good steak
and seafood. If you have time you should
plan on having a drink in the bar area- it’s
a really nice bar- very cozy and romantic.
The Merrill Magee House in the middle of
town is a lovely historic building with good
food. Brunetto’s has great food- and a lot
of it!
Bolton Landing - on Lake
George has a nice downtown
shopping-restaurant-bar area to park and
walk through, there is a plethora of very
good dining options;
Michael Arthurs (a steak house with
other chicken, fish, and seafood options)
Lakeside Lodge Grill -full fine dining
menu with lots of options,
Fredericks
– good food, nice variety. The open air deck
is nice in the summer.
Cate’s Italian Garden-
good Italian, and the
Ryefield for casual
fun relaxed atmosphere.
Outside of Bolton is the
Algonquin - right on
the water. Fine dining upstairs and more
casual attire in the downstairs. Great
afternoon drink spot in the summer. The
Sagamore’s Hotel’s,
Club Grill (steak and grill fine ding)
at the golf course and the main hotel’s
dining room are both good options. Its
beautiful to walk around the resorts
grounds- its an island on Lake George- you
drive over their bridge to get to it. In
late spring-early autumn Sagamore’s boat,
The Morgan,
does a lunch and a dinner tour that
showcases the spectacular lake’s scenery.
Lake George - In general
Lake George Village does not have any fine
dining- a lot of casual fare and
t-shirt/trinket shops, miniature golf, etc,
etc. Long standing restaurants of note are
The Log Jam,
Mario’s,
and The
Montcalm.
 On
the East side of Lake George is
The Farm House* (summer-fall) at the Top
of the World Golf Course. They serve a
fantastic memorable menu all grown in their
own garden or from area farms. Dining at its
finest.
* denotes Sharon and Greg’s personal
favorites- all highly recommended!
