   Had a wonderful evening at Adirondack Alps, and the Lodge at Clear Lake. Very unique experience, and wonderful family running it. Service was excellent, had a fantastic German dinner, the beer and wine selection are amazing, and the grounds and lodge are quintessential Mountain Lodge. Definitely a bit pricey for this region, but we felt that the overall experience was well worth it. If you're looking for a quick dinner this may not be the place for you, but if you're looking for a unique Adirondack experience and a wonderful and hearty meal, we highly recommend this place. Ernest, Kathy, Yurgen, and Chad provided us with a memorable night.

   A must for special night if you're spending time in/around Saranac Lake. Well worth the 20 min drive to get to Lake Clear. Amazing beer cellar, strong and thoughtful wine list. Kathy (owner/chef) makes very special meals old world style. A+ sauerbraten & schnitzel, but menu changes with the weather and locally available supply. Don't expect an extensive menu, but do expect to savor. This is an experience, not just a dinner, so don't expect a quick meal, a lot of advanced prep goes into the entrees, and they are meant to be enjoyed. Plan to make an enjoyable night of it, spending time in the beer cellar, lingering over some appetizers, wander outside by the lake with a beverage, all before sitting down to eat. And do NOT pass up dessert.

   As usual, a beautiful location and great spot for a long dinner with friends/family. The beer selection, sides & sauces were outstanding. The meats (and our table tried many of them) were somewhat tough, thin and lacking in any of their own flavor.

   Found this place on OpenTable; it was off season, not many there, but the owners were wonderful. They have a great beer cellar including many rare import beers, and a good wine selection. The homemade meal was fantastic. Try the salmon schnitzel! It is a little out of the way from Lake Placid, but if you are in the area, make it a point to go!

   We really didn't know what to expect when we drove in for dinner, but haven't stopped raving about it since! We were warmly greeted at the door by the co-owner and given a tour of the beer and wine cellar while contemplating our dinner choices that change daily. From sampling a few wine choices to strolling the beautiful grounds of the lakeside lodge while waiting for the appetizers to be served, it was really one of the most interesting dining experiences we've ever had. The food was delicious and plentiful and Chef Cathy was able to accommodate a gluten-free diner as well (best to call ahead though for restrictions so they are prepared). Well worth the drive from Lake Placid!!!

   Lovely family owned restaurant in old world lodge. Attentive and knowledgeable service. Food was a mix of German style cuisine and nouvelle cuisine., so there was something for everyone. There are very limited options for dining around Saranac lake, and this was truly a gem. .

   Great freshly-prepared food in a very special setting. Love that tables don't turn over, so people can relax and sit for the evening.
