Been going for decades. Consistently excellent food and service. Fantastic views. Indoor or terrace dining. Perfect any season

Great views and awesome food Can't wait to visit again next summer oh and the drinks were telling me to order another!!!!

Food, service ambience was great. My wife had the "Cobbler" sandwich. I had the Chili Bowl. Both were excellent. For the Cobble Hill it was fresh roasted large slices of turkey. The chili bowl had just enough spice to make it tastee. I added some chopped onions and cheese. Our server Vella was wonderful. Checked on us several times.

Such a delightful place! Sat outside on the deck over Mirror lake. I had an open faced Reuben with Cole slaw and chips. Delicious and the coleslaw added a bit more zip. Not sure Icy, though.My friends had the pulled pork. Delish. It does have a bit spicy sauce on it, if you didn't want that, ask for it on the side. Our waitress was so pleasant. Thanks for a great evening. Two regrets: my husband was under the weather and couldn't join us, and it would be gorgeous at sunset.

Great spot in Lake Placid for a summer meal. We escaped the crowds of the Ironman competition and snagged a table on the water. Food was delicious, and our server gave me a great suggestion for salad and a dressing that would complement. We were very pleased with everything about this restaurant and highly recommend!

I mean, the view. RIGHT on the water. The food was good but not amazing but it all tasted great with the ambiance. The best thing we ordered was the spinach artichoke dip.

We took a day trip to Lake Placid and after filtering through the Yelp reviews, I arrived at The Cottage for lunch. Primarily based on the location and views for the restaurant. We weren't expecting much on the food, given the mixed reviews. However, we were pleasantly surprised. I went with the Ponzu Chicken Tacos and they were flavorful and delicious. My husband ordered the BBQ Pulled Pork sandwich, which he enjoyed. The interior is small and cozy and the amazing views of Mirror Lake instantly make your food taste better. The outdoor seating option is really nice, but on the stifling day we visited, we chose to sit inside. The menu has plenty of options, so each person in our party of 6 found something they liked. Our server was friendly. NOTE: They don't do separate checks, but allow you to pay via separate credit cards.

I have been visiting The Cottage for several years, and it is a must stop whenever I am in Lake Placid. The inside is cozy and has fantastic views of mirror lake. They offer great beer and wine lists as well as a nice variety of cocktails. The food is good as well, with plenty of options to suit what you're looking for. Two standouts from my recent visit were the Warm Brussels Sprout Salad and the Mushroom Soup. If their soup of the day is Chicken Poblano, I'd highly recommend it. On my most recent visit, we were thrilled to find that their outdoor gondolas were heated and dog friendly. Each gondola has climate control and music playing, and the waitstaff will come out to your gondola. I'd add an extra star for this if I could!
