All this restaurant has going for it is location. The view overlooking Lake Placid is breathtaking. However, the service is poor and the food is average. In all fairness, we were in a group; which seemed to challenge the servers. It was early in their season so perhaps the wait staff was inexperienced.

They had many specials and very good crab cakes. They make a delicious Caribbean salsa which is served as an appetizer with fresh corn chips. The menu has something for everyone, but has several fresh fish choices. The view is spectacular at sunset and we loved the view of mirror lake.

The ideal setting for a romantic meal. The food was good but not special for the cost. We booked thru the Crowne Plaza so got shuttled free, both ways. It looked quite remote from across in the hotel. Visually the view from this small restaurant was incredible, especially at night with all the lights reflecting off the water. Ask when... More

My husband and I stayed at the Crowne Plaza hotel. They operate the Boat House and offer a free shuttle to the resturant. That was very convienent. Food was fantastic, a bit pricy but I guess not too bad for a resturant right on the water and with great food. Service was very good and friendly. Nice place to visit... More

Went there with six friends while at a conference. Great views of the lake and village in the evening. Dining room half full and no one put front to seat us. Finally a waiter summoned the hostess. Had a round of cocktails and when we began to order the waitress told us they were out of a couple of entrees.... More

I wanted to take my boyfriend on a romantic date for just the two of us. The Boat House Restaurant was just that. We had a nice meal for the two of us. The service was excellent and attentive. I only wish it was nicer out so that we could have eaten on the deck overlooking the lake.

We had a great dinner at the Boat House. The view on the lake is beautiful! Service was friendly and prompt. Food was excellent. I had the fillet, and it was very flavorful and tender. We will definitely be back.

Everyone really enjoyed their supper. The schnitzel, pepper steak, and crab cakes ordered by others were all excellent. I felt like something different so I ordered the curry (a little nervous because they are often bland and disappointing in a non-Indian restaurant) and it was rich and flavourful. Desserts were all very good. I would recommend it to others.

My wife and I visited the boathouse for dinner. It is located at the edge of the lake. The frozen lake looks beautiful under the moonlight. The restaurant has a wrap around balcony for summer time dining. We tried the lobster and clam chowder fir apperizer which were really good. For entree the steak with crab cake was just ok.... More

Noting the association with the Crowne Plaza and the white tablecloth ambience of the Veranda in the past, was expecting similar here. Not so but a pleasant meal out right on the lake with excellent views. No elegance but very pleasant staff, a shuttle from the Crowne Plaza and excellent, well prepared food. Everything we had was perfectly cooked. This... More
