Well actually we ate at McDougal's bar below the Hungry Trout which has excellent food, large portions and good drinks. We've been there several times and really enjoy it... they have some tables outside looking out over the river. The bartender is great and it's always a good time we've never had a bad meal there. The Hungry Trout is very good as well but it is more formal.
Loved the view. The pool was great, if not a bit cold and a little dirty on the deep end. Looked like recent dirt from kids, and not residual. Not so much not to go swimming in it. The view from the back windows is great. Would love to see some ki d of decks built, so people could enjoy the view with their coffee in the morning. The atmosphere at their adjoining restaurant is magnificent. Word of advice: don't try to go to the restaurant if you are with a group of fellow visitors. It was made clear to our group of 12, that we should go elsewhere as they couldn't accommodate us. Disappointing. We spent our $400 on dinner up the road. All in all, I would go back.
Compliments to the chef. Salmon and scallops, red pepper, ans spinach with a cream sauce over angel hair pasta... So, very delicious! The side salad was beautiful (the photo), I was so excited to taste my food that I forgot to take a photo! Excellent view from our window seat. You can make a reservation, but we never have and we've never had to wait. Probably if you want to have a table with a view, you should make a reservation and ask for the seating with a nice view.
The restaurant has perfect Adirondack decor, is very comfortable, and has a great view of the river. Next time I'm trying the platter.
Ate there when I was in Lake Placid. Ordered a cup of sausage soup. Light vegetable broth with plenty of veggies and spicy sausage. Was very good. The stuffed mushrooms with boar and deer meat were good but 3 for $14 app was a little steep. Not worth the price. Was going to go for the hungry trout guided platter and should have. Saw the grilled rib eye and opted for that. I shouldn't have. I asked the waiter if it was a prime or choice cut. His reply was, "It's cooked/prepared very well." Ordered it medium. I could tell by the taste it was an average choice cut. Fat was lacking. Charred well and cooked correctly. Flavor was lacking for the price.
Great motel. The food was nice. Strangely you can get the same menu in either restaurant, but upstairs you have to wait to be seated in the more than half empty tables! Dinner upstairs was two hours in hard wooden chairs. We ate once downstairs and once up. Fish was great, salad and soup great, creme brulee wonderful, but stuff mushrooms blah and risotto almost warm not hot.
