I was here with a large group (12+ people) and they did a great job of accommodating us. The food was good and nice size portions. The service was excellent, especially for such a large group. Our food came out quickly and was tasty. The atmosphere is nice. When we were there the weather was pretty awful (rainy & cold),... More

As the menu indicated, the chicken salad sandwich is out of the ordinary. After sharing a delicious shrimp appetizer, my friend and I each ordered our own chicken salad sandwich. Had we known how generous the portions were, we could have shared one. As it was, we requested to-go boxes. Our server was attentive and timed serving well. Our table... More

We ate there a few days ago. Beautiful view of Mirror Lake. The service was excellent. No complaints there. The portions were adequate, but the food was only warm when served. Taste was average. The bar (which is not separate from the restaurant) was very noisy (not usually a concern of ours). However, there were several older gents at the... More

This is a great place to stop for lunch. The food is just average, but the atmosphere is nice. I always order the hummus and pita bread with veggies. The turkey sandwich w/cranberry mayo/ apples is good, too. The best part about dining here is definitely the view of Mirror Lake. It's so beautiful.

I have nothing but good things to say about The Cottage. It's menu is just big enough to be interesting, and small enough to be reliable. The outdoor seating is lovely, overlooking the lake, on a homey deck out of the touristy hubbub that is Lake Placid's Main Street. The food is simple -- sandwiches, salads, cheese and fruit plates,... More

The... More

The small cottage cafe is a quaint place to enjoy an afternoon on the balcony or drink a beer while the rain comes down inside. The view overlooking the lake is breathtaking. They also have a small heater on the porch as well for the cold days. Just watch out for bugs. Not enough to ruin your meal tho. I... More

Because it's associated with Mirror Lake Inn, I expected a lot from this little eatery. The views over the water were the best part. The service was good, but the food itself was unexciting. We had small, limp salads with a slice of bland quiche. Not worth a return visit.

We stayed in Lake Place for three nights. All three, we ate at the Cottage Café, because we had been there before and liked it so well. It did not disappoint this time, as all three nights the meals were excellent. From the cottage blue salad, to the shrimp bisque, it was all good, very good, with excellent service and... More
