Lake Placid Restaurants

We have been anxiously awaiting the opening of The Cellar. Living in a rural area, the closest large cities are about an hour away. Cellar brings a polished restaurant to our area. Not only is the food and choice of dishes excellent, the wait staff has been very well trained to provide top notch service. Living here among many retirees, and part time residents, I must say I hope the restaurant can sustain business and continue to be a fixture in the community for years to come. The appetizers, calamari and steamed littleneck clams were both excellent. Winnie also got the beet salad with goat cheese. For main dish, I had the veal Oscar. The lump crab, bernaise sauce and asparagus were great as was the real veal, not veal patty. All in all, we highly recommend Cellar. We hope you give it a try, and we will be back.

1st time on Christmas Day 2024. Nice quiet environment with great service.

We frequent Michelin Star rated restaurants wherever we travel. The Perfect Caper is absolutely serving on this caliber. Upon entering you are greeted by a gracious host who immediately found us a spot at the niche bar, which was quite busy. The bar has lively attendants who serve great house stuffed olive martinis. From there our host escorts us to our cozy table for two where we enjoyed a Christmas Eve designed menu. Lobster/Palm heart salad, crispy fried shrimp over avocado and delightful healthy portion of a lemon drizzle and finally our perfectly seared scallop topped with crab and an artful creation of candied lemon, a lovely surprise taste; all over black rice and baby bok choy. The meal ends with a Carmel butter tort that we will long remember as the “best dessert we’ve ever had.” Special mention to Mary Jane, our server who delivered our courses with a flair worthy of a starring evening!

Davis was simply the best! He was attentive, funny and engaging! Drinks were top notch! Apps on point! Atmosphere is always fabulous!!!

Food is great. We had a food allergy which made the dinner service very slow. Evidently they had a bunch of allergy orders at once and the chef has to meet with each table and bring out the food. It would be nice if there is no food with the allergen service could go back to normal. Arrived at 6 and didn’t leave until after 8:30. Food was great though and we would go back!
