Artisans at the Lake Placid Lodge

This really was a beautiful dinner. I couldn't have asked for better service. I believe my waitress' name was Brittany, and she was really so kind and lovely. While my food was delicious.... I'm taking off one star for price. I got one appetizer, one drink, one salad, and one dessert. And my bill was 140 dollars before tip. When I was told the appetizer special was a pasta, I'm looking at all of the other appetizers and I'm seeing prices of around 20 to 30 bucks. So I'm thinking okay this thing is probably going to be 20 to 30 dollars. I knew I wanted to try dessert and salad so I thought I'd spend less by getting an app. Sometimes you just want a cool experience without breaking the bank. Not to mention I try to stay within my 100. 00 budget I get for traveling for work. Needless to say I

Excellent ambience. All the furniture, the fire places and the marvellous view of the lake creates a very cozy setting to relax and unwind. The food is excellent too, but the service is a bit slow.

This was a lunch like no other. Every inch of space in the luxurious lodge is awash with character and sumptuous, welcoming design. Stepping into a tight foyer, you find a mosaic of branches wrapping overhead. The lobby has vintage furniture and desk, which is faced by a cavernous hearth, inviting to read by the fire. A full birch tree reaches high amidst the spiralling staircase; the thick carpet runner soft as you ascend or descend, the walls all along the stairs adorned with paintings of the local natural beauty in ornate frames. There are several levels of porch over looking the lake, with sweeping views of the lawn below, lake and mountains beyond. The selections of food did not overwhelm; as they are carefully curated, selected and perfected - like the whole of the building - to comp

Artisans is simply outstanding. In every way, this fine restaurant warrants five stars. It's exceptional every time we visit.

Avoid the duck breast which was dry, and lobster bisque that came with a rubbery piece of lobster. Quail was tasty but rack of lamb took quite a bit of effort to chew. Service was pleasant and friendly. Atmosphere was warm. I rate the food 2-star, service is 4-star and atmosphere is 4-star. For me, overall experience wasn’t worth the money.
