Came here while passing through Lake, George and we’re excited to have some lobster. Sat on the patio. Took about 10 minutes for a server to arrive at our table to greet us and then another 10 minutes to get one glass of Prosecco. We ordered a lobster and a prime rib for our main dishes, the lobster was lukewarm , dirty, and very bland. I finished half of it and felt nauseous. The prime rib we ordered was requested to be medium rare and came out medium to medium well. Up to this point our server was very kind and helpful but when we asked for it to be remade, she started to have an attitude with us and stood there staring blankly at us unapologetically like it was our fault, though we were being apologetic. The next steak took under five minutes to come out, which felt very sketchy, but decided to try it while she hovered over us until a bite was taken out of the steak to ask how it was, the next steak was cooked on one side and raw on the other side, drenched in watery warm juices with a gray hue to it both times. At this point we really were unappetized and didn’t finish any more of our food and just ask for the check. She then started questioning with an attitude what the problem was, my partner mentioned that she was also a chef at a restaurant and it’s just not cooked the way that it should be it was not seasoned, the quality was horrible for a $40 meal. When we got the check, she asked if we wanted a box and we told her no and she goes “if you’re a chef, how do you cook it then? “Which was completely inappropriate and rude. We left feeling extremely uncomfortable, and as we were walking out, the hostesses were clapping never coming back to this horrible establishment again. One positive is she took the steak off the bill we tipped 20% of the original amount because we are in the service industry but overall aside from the food being disgusting the server was extremely rude and confrontational as if the experience wasn’t uncomfortable for us already.

Husband and I are visiting from MI and drove by this place. We were hesitant at first to go because of some of the reviews. We both wanted seafood and said let's go. We were both very happy we did. Service was great and so was the meal. We had the bacon wrapped scallops for a appetiser and we split the Lobster Pot. So glad we split it because we had two shrimps we couldn't even finish, everything was really good. My favorite was the clam chowder, king crab and shrimp. My husbands favorite was the lobster, king crab, clams and shrimp. Would definitely go back.

So I was going to say how the food was very good and waitress was very nice and attentive. But from the time we walked in other customers were complaining very loudly. I overlooked the man screaming about I believe his $5 for extra rice.🙄 But the couple across from us that ate 90 % of their meals were so loud and obnoxious I couldn’t enjoy my very $$ dinner. The waitress was literally screaming at them at the top of her lungs. Omg… escort them out and have management deal with them!! The manager was trying but failing at keeping situation under control. 🤢 It was so upsetting I started to feel sick and couldn’t finish my dinner. Too bad because our food was good.

Very good experience. I read the reviews but I figured I'd give it a shot. We definitely enjoyed our meal!Ambiance: very cool vibe, neat decorDrinks: good martins but they need fill up the glass if you're gonna charge $$$Food: Delmonico steak- cooked perfectly and very good. NY strip very good cut and cooked perfectly. Lobster was also very good.Appetizer- fried calamari was excellent strongly reccomend.Prices- a little high but normal for the tourist area of LG.

Location is nice and the food was tasty. However they were out of crab cakes and mashed potatoes, so had to settle on another dish. Blue wave cocktail was awesome. Service was very good.

My son wanted to come to this restaurant while we were in Lake George.. I saw mixed reviews I can't give this four or five stars because everything was just really mediocre our service though waitresses were right on it.I must say it was the first time I had clam chowder with the very strong Taste of Rosemary in it but it was mediocre and lukewarm which isn't that great of a taste when you're having a hot clam chowder.The clam chowder was more like potato chowder I don't even think there was one clam in my chowderMy son and I ended up splitting the full lobster pot.We come from New England where clambakes Lobster pots are done rightThis was just a very big disappointment especially for the price. Nothing was warm and they gave us an ounce of butter each. Not a drop of seasoning. Everything was kind of dried out. Also if you really want a good Seafood Pot I just suggest putting some potatoes a piece of sausage in there some seasoning like Old Bay is a very good cheater seasoning if you don't know how to season correctly and just one ear of corn is just unacceptable for an $85 Lobster Pot.If you like unseasoned lukewarm mediocre food this is definitely the place for youI would give one star but the service was definitely very good

It was amazing. Our food, the service, drinks, finally I really good place to eat. And they have their own parking, which is great for this town.I really enjoyed it. Recommend 100%I had the surf and turf. The Delmonico steak was so juicy and flavorful, loved that I got a whole lobster

The atmosphere was great but there was a car show going on. I think that it was a little cluttered. I got the seafood Alfredo which I think could have been good if it had more sauce on it but it was very dry. The crab legs weren't very fresh but they had a good taste to them. I gave it four stars because I know it was a busy night seeing there was a huge car show going on right in front of the restaurant which brought in an abundance of people and their system was down at one point.

Cute little place on the main drag. Great outdoor seating and cute inside decor. Delicious cocktails. Food beware. Cooked for turn and burn. Overcooked lobster was rubbery (as if pre cooked and re heated to order) Clams so-so. “Fresh veg” was canned green beans. Dessert was also returned to the kitchen. My tummy can only take so much.

Had a yummy bday dinner here last week. The outdoor seating could be prettier, but the food was delicious. This is your basic seafood place nothing fancy and the indoors are nicer than the patio seating. It is not on the lake but despite that the lobster and lobster roll was very good.

My better half and I had the crabmeat stuffed mushrooms appetizer, which was very good, just enough to wet my appetite, then we had the broiled seafood platter which was stuffed flounder with shrimp and scallops, all very tasty and cooked just right, vacationing here, but will come back again

Me and my husbands first time in Lake George. Before going to the Airbnb, we decided to look for a seafood restaurant by the lake. I googled and shows three restaurants and one of them is this restaurant. We ordered and when our food came, was disappointed to see what I ordered. With the price, kind of expensive for their Lobster Pot and their Lobster sandwich. They could have done something with the presentation, to look more expensive. A nicer platter, maybe and a little garnishes. Also the location is not what I expected, it’s not by the lake. Our server is very nice though.

My girlfriend and I are here on a little getaway weekend and we love trying local spots when we go away. We look at Google reviews after since we don’t like to set the expectations before we come in.3.4 Stars might be the most accurate rating to this experience i couldn’t imagined. While our waitress is a sweetheart and knows when she makes mistakes, she’s a space cadet. Brought the wrong meal, spilled oil, forgot a few things, doesn’t really listen. But like I said, she’s a sweetheart that seeks to fix her mistakes and I value that far more than a waiter that does everything correct but is rude or not attentive. The hostess was nice and helpful. The atmosphere feels very lowkey. The inside was awful so we opted to eat outdoors and it was a pleasurable experience.The bad part is the food. No it’s not terrible but for the price you pay for “market price seafood” it should at least be good. The king crab was overcooked and watery. The “vegetables” which were green beans were clearly canned. The potatoes were okay. The lobster tail was okay. The bread was really warm and felt fresh. The corn is.. corn. The salad and soups were honestly the best part (the dressing was mediocre).So while I sit and write, the $200 bill this meal for 2 will end up being is awful for a town that already has tons of overpriced food everywhere.The best part about this place is it feels like the only seafood place within walking distance of the lake.We didn’t hate our experience but if we were to ever come back here, we’re just getting appetizers and the assorted tacos for a quick bite.Vegetarian options: It’s a seafood place.Wheelchair accessibility: nobody with any form of walking disability would be able to eat here as to get to the door you have to climb 2 flights.

Very overpriced for the experience we had. The server was nice but all of our dishes were ~$30 and were not well cooked. The house salads looked like bagged salad. Rice in the shrimp scampi was undercooked. Chicken in pasta Alfredo was not freshly cooked. The crab cakes were mushy. Would not recommend for the price.

The food here is ok. I got Steak, fries, and rice. The Steak was not that bad, a little dry. The Fries were cold, was sitting out for a while. The rice was fresh and delicious. The atmosphere of the place is pretty cool and the people working here are pretty nice!

This is our favorite place to have a delicious seafood dinner at. The food is amazing and the staff is extremely friendly. We love their lobster bisque, our favorite dish is the lobster scampi with clams, shrimps, scallops, musels, shrimp and pasta.

This place is a must avoid!!! Food is horrible, drinks all taste like water. Service was horrible. Some family members of mine got sick from the pasta and shrimp and from the steak. They serve food in plastic containers, probably because of Covid but extremely sloppy. Will not eat here again.

I was hungry. The place we wanted to try was closed. I had a lobster roll. I am from Maine. The lobster roll was mediocre for the price. I'm a bit spoiled there, I guess.It's a costly location for the bar/fish shack atmosphere.

I’ve been going back to the Lobster Pot year after year. The food is always great and the wait staff very friendly and accommodating. A couple years ago I went vegan, so you’d think a seafood place is not exactly vegan friendly. Well, they were able to meet my dietary needs and worked with me to create a dish that was well portioned and delicious. I’ve never had a bad experience here and will continue to come back. The people I went with are not vegan and raved about their meals.Dietary restrictions: Vegan and vegetarian options available. They even created a meal that wasn’t on the menu just for me.

Was excited to Visit, but however the place is a trip hazard. We waited twenty mins- half hour to get noticed by a waiter, which she had no idea what she was doing… Spending over $100 for two people to have our food get taken from the Doordash….We waited over a hour and half for just our food to come out overcooked and dry…The bartender had no idea how to make two strawberry daiquiris, they were way to strong…Clam chowder was watery full of potatoes, fried scallops were dry and crunchy. Worst customer service I’ve ever experienced. Wait staff to busy worrying about outdoor seating.wish I could rate 0 stars…

Probably should have read the reviews first so that was our own fault. Ordered a broiled haddock for $30 that came with Minute/Uncle Ben's rice and a $60 steak and lobster tail that came with instant mashed potatoes. Service left a lot to be desired, but paying that much for subpar steak and haddock that couldn't even come with non-instant foods for sides was a pretty hard pill to swallow when looking at a $115 bill at the end.
