Paper & Pencil

What an amazing dining experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and full of character, the kind of place that feels both elevated and comfortable. We started with the appetizer (pictured first), perfectly cooked shrimp tossed in a flavorful sauce and topped with just the right amount of crumbled cheese. It was light, rich, and packed with flavor, a great way to kick things off. For the main course, the fried chicken (second photo) was absolutely incredible, crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and served with creamy mashed potatoes and roasted carrots that tied everything together. Comfort food done right. The pasta (third photo) was a standout, with fresh, perfectly cooked noodles coated in a vibrant house-made red sauce with plenty of Parmesan and fresh herb

We had a lovely experience at Paper & Pencil last night. Our server Melissa was sweet, attentive and knowledgeable. We started with some appetizers: the baked brie with Granny Smith apples, and then recommended by our server Melissa, was the special chef’s appetizer which was a mushroom pâté on crostini topped with perfectly cooked fillet and goat cheese. Both were delicious. Our 3 main courses were the crab stuffed haddock over mashed potatoes with the vegetable of the day, green beans; the brisket macaroni and cheese with a side salad; and then a gumbo featuring chicken and andouille sausage with brown rice. Easily all three meals were a five out of five. The decor is warm and inviting, and the little Christmas touches really made it a special night. Deep Think Jazz Trio was phenomenal.

Hidden gem! Really great food, solid mixed drinks, and service was on top of it. Ordered cocktail shrimp, crab cakes, fresh vine salad, Mac n cheese made with smoked Gouda, a Shirley temple, hotty totty, and Knox’s Reserve…everything was incredible! Atmosphere is on point with nice tables, chairs, wine display, bar area and upper seating. Owner made all the right choices from decor to food…only thing that could have made this better? Be located in town, but it’s not always that easy. This place is a must stop if you’re anywhere within 50miles!!

If you plan to get food in Ticonderoga this is the place to go. Food was fantastic. Staff friendly and accommodating. Atmosphere was incredible and the restaurant is gorgeous. All different types of seating as well, from bar to bar room to mezzanine to outdoor seating. We will 100% be back!

This is the best restaurant I've been to in the Lake George area. Well worth the trip up north from the village. I've been there twice now and both times were excellent. First time it was with a few friends waiting out a power outage at our cottage. We sat at the bar for drinks. The craft cocktails are just that ...crafted to perfection. All with fresh cut garnish. There were five of us and we each ordered 2 different drinks from the menu, all were great. 2nd visit was for dinner and drinks, just two of us. The service was very attentive and friendly, the food was great and the craft cocktails, stellar once again. We had the crab cake appetizer, braised short ribs and salmon for mains Everything was great I highly recommend the Paper and Pencil. The last drink I ordered was the King's G
