The Cottage at Mirror Lake Inn

Loved the atmosphere inside. The posters in the ceiling and a great view of the lake from inside. The food was pricey but fair. Ordered the buffalo chicken dip, bbq pulled pork sandwich. Had the snowstorm to drink and enjoyed that. That was hot chocolate, whipped cream and liquor. Overall, I'd go back for the atmosphere but might try a different entree.

The Cottage is a true gem! This is over my third time coming to The Cottage and I am proud to say that I have never been disappointed every time I have been here. The building is small but makes dining with family or friends very intimate. We didn’t get food this time, just drinks, but we saw the food coming out of the kitchen and it all looked spectacular. The bartender was very nice and kept her station clean. They have a beautiful view of Mirror Lake and have indoor and outdoor seating available that are both handicap accessible. This place fills up quick so be sure to make some time for The Cottage the next time you’re in the ADKs!

Absolute gem hanging over mirror lake at the end of the strip in lake placid. Food was amazing, and can see how this cosy pub becomes a top apres spot in the winter. Had the Lucy special, the chili, and the soup of the day, all were fantastic.

We enjoyed dinner here. We reached around 6 PM so wait time was approx 40 mins. We took some drinks while we waited. There's a dedicated seating space for guests in the queue. The bar is rich and drinks are served in around 10 minutes, despite the busy hours. Staff is friendly and attentive. Food is average. Some items were fresh while some were more like pre-made and felt stale. What deserves a special mention? It's a good place to enjoy drinks during evening with some snack. What could be better? The wait area chairs and table could be cleaner. Nobody enjoys sitting on stained couch/chair. This place has great views, if they improved the quality of food, it would be a must visit option.

I liked the lunch I had here today. I ordered The Cottage house chili. And a pesto/mozzarella artisan flatbread. And their blackberry lemonade cocktail. All very good. The views of Mirror Lake are gorgeous from the restaurant windows. Safe travels. 😊
