Cafe Adirondack Restaurant & Wine Room

Table for three and service was fast and pleasant. Very knowledgeable with menu items and daily special. Bang Bang shrimp appetizer is always a must and did not disappoint. Crispy coating with bang bang sauce that has a little spiced heat but not five alarm. The fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp was delicious. Shrimp tender and just the right amount of creamy sauce to cover the pasta and shrimp but not drown it. Others had chicken parmigiana sandwiches and both took home leftovers. Dessert was to go. Cheesecake and a peanut butter pie. Recommend both.

My wife and I were visiting my recently married daughter and her husband and he suggested we try this restaurant since he grew up in the area and really liked it. Good call. The parking lot was full but the wait time for a table was about 30 minutes. Not bad. We were seated and served drinks and appetizers very quickly but the food was a little delayed for about 30 minutes for some reason. Overall my steak and pasta with alfredo was excellent cooked perfectly. The other dishes of seafood and chicken were also very good. I would highly recommend giving this place a try.

This place is a gem! Who knew you could have such a great restaurant in lil ole Pottersville? My salmon and scallop dinner was served with gourmet ravioli and nicely cooked and seasoned veggies. All were superb. The generous servings were enough for another full meal. Service was friendly, fast and professional. This is the best restaurant between Ticonderoga, Schroon Lake and North Creek. No contest. Probs a good idea to make reservations. Place is popular. For good reasons.

Food is so good. Everything is freshly made and of good quality. It has a nice casual family atmosphere and you are not going to break the bank. One of my wife's and mine favorite places to enjoy delicious food and good people.

Awesome. We just relocated to the area and were looking for a nice anniversary dinner. Called at last minute for reservations and had option of 430 or 730. Took 430 glad we did as when we left it was full with waiting customers. Appetizer was the crab stuffed mushroom. Great preparation and flavor with loads of real crab. Dinners were scallops and the crab stuffed haddock. Both excellent. Understand the wait time now, everything is fresh and made to order. Nothing appeared frozen or microwaved. Server was very helpful and friendly. Best food we have had in the area, glad we relocated close to this place so we can return again and again. Chef is awesome and the presentations are nice and the portions are large. Thanks to everyone there!

I don’t think I’ve ever came in here that it wasn’t packed. This is definitely a gem of a spot. Their food is amazing. Eggplant is better than I’ve ever had. Their bread is freshly made and to die for. I’ve gotten something different every time I’ve ever went and I’ve never been disappointed. Try to get the lobster bisque. Yummy!

After a heroic day of skiing (read: surviving), the elite culinary task force of myself, my wife Linda, and our distinguished panel of highly opinionated food critics — Steve, Norma, David, Emily, Walt, Wild Bill, and Merilie — descended upon Cafe Adirondack in search of three mythical things: great food, reasonable prices, and service that doesn’t make you feel like you just ruined someone’s night. Shockingly… they delivered. Apparently, they cook actual food there — like homemade, from-scratch food — not “expertly reheated by Mike the Microwave.” I had the vegetable dumplings and they were exceptional, paired with a homemade sweet chili sauce that had the perfect balance of heat and sweetness. No packets. No squeeze bottles from aisle seven. The real deal. The seafood special? Straight from the ocean — crab cake, cod, scallops, shrimp — and it tasted like it had just left the dock and headed directly to our table. Perfectly prepared, fresh, and generous. In a ski town. Let that sink in. Every single one of us left completely satisfied, which for a hungry ski crew is rarer than untouched corduroy at 2 p.m. They even worked with us on the bill without requiring a finance committee meeting. And because apparently we have zero self-control after burning 400 calories all day, we went all in on dessert. I had the caramelized bread pudding with intensely flavorful whipped cream — the kind that makes you close your eyes and question why you ever order anything else. Linda chose the key lime pie, bright and perfectly balanced, and “just one bite” turned into me negotiating for a second fork. The staff couldn’t have been nicer, more accommodating, or more patient with our post-ski enthusiasm. Linda and I are already planning our return to properly explore the rest of the menu. Cafe Adirondack is officially locked in as a mandatory stop on our next trip — because when you find a place this good, you don’t whisper about it… you broadcast it.

I love this place. The food was quite good. The menu has a lot of variety but the quality holds up, despite the wide range. Portions are very generous and the prices are affordable. Nice wine list too! It gets crowded and can be a little loud in summertime, but that is a pretty minor issue. I am looking forward to returning here next summer.

Ate at Cafe ADK twice this week. Tremendous value for portion and food quality . Service on Wed - excellent. Friday - super busy, good. every meal was very good to excellent both times.

Another great meal here last night. I had the chicken picatta and my wife had the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and broccoli. All served horrible and tasty, great service as well.

Consistently great food, huge portions, and exemplary service. Cozy atmosphere, easy parking.

Service was great. Staff were friendly. Most importantly the food was delicious. I had their special of red snapper and shrimp with a lobster cream sauce. Fish was cooked perfectly. For sides I had a salad and pasta w/ Alfredo. The home made blue cheese is so tasty. Loved the Alfredo too. My daughter loves mussels and had the appetizer special for her meal. They mussels were huge and delicious. It should go on their menu frequently. Overall great experience and will be back.

We haven't been here in a while, but I'm glad we came back. Everything was great. Nice selection fairly priced. We will go back. They have wine & beer specials. You can bring your own, but they have a corking fee. Service is very good and the ambiance is cozy

Stopped for dinner enroute to Lake Placid. Was happy to find several vegetarian and vegan selections. We ordered the eggplant parm and the veggie dumpling entree. Both were well prepared and tasty. The service was friendly and casual and the vibe is quiet, relaxed and comfortable. And they serve Founders Scotch Ale - one of my favorite brews.

This was a pleasant surprise. Cute restaurant, service was excellent and food was delicious. We had the She -crab soup which was creamy and full of crab, fried green tomatoes which were the best I ever had. Many main courses to choose from. Our waitress was a delight. Don't pass the cafe by!

The best food in the Adirondack mountains. We've been dining here for years and it's consistently delicious. The staff is always friendly and accommodating. A great place to enjoy the perfect meal with family and friends

Highly recommend this small restaurant if you are visiting Adirondack. Staff are very friendly and the food portion are very generous. The price are reasonable. You will walk out with to go box. We had the steak , Chloe's chicken and chicken Parmesan. Everything on the menu is good. You are allow to bring your own bottle of wine if you don't like there selections. They only have beers and wine menu only no hard liquor.

Wow! This was great. We stayed in North Creek, we came here after a day on the slopes at Gore. We didn't realize it wasn't with a bar, but that was ok. We had bottled iced tea and Perrier. We started with the She Crab Soup, finger licking good. The bread was crusty and warm. I had the Wild Salmon dish. It was good! The rice was blah, I would have preferred better rice or mashed potatoes. The chicken bang bang sandwich was tasty as well. Service was great. Very cozy and warm as well in the cold night. The regulars there enjoyed themselves we even witnessed an anniversary dinner with the help of a waitress setting up some flowers.

The most tender filed mignon , take out today, Hugh portion , They do it right , and it was ready exactly when scheduled , With all the extras I ordered.

Asked to sit with a friend who had a chair at her table. Was told no. The next available table for 1 was 2.25 hours from then. I left. I will not be back.

We love this amazing local restaurant. The food is delicious and portions are generous. Staff is always knowledgeable and friendly.

We should have known to skip this place - google maps initially directly to the wrong location and when we called they had no idea what their address is. We arrived at 7pm. The entrance is deceptively around the back side. There were a group of adults waiting outside. We entered and no one was at the host station. After a few minutes, 2 teenagers showed up. When we asked about takeout, we were told that stopped at 5pm. When we asked how long a wait, we received some blank looks and um's er's. Finally, we were told it would be a long wait. No time length specified, no offer for a drink while we wait, nothing. They clearly did not want to seat or feed us. Left with a bad really bad feeling about this place. Turns out they close at 8pm so they really did not want to seat us - they could have said that. Good restaurants, even while busy, will offer something like a soup or salad to go. Customer service clearly does not matter to these owners or they'd hire proper staff not a bunch of inexperience High Schoolers to be front of house. As one of the only restaurants around, I guess they just don't care. UPDATE: the owners just left a super hostile comment on Google reviews. This just reinforces their total lack of professionalism and customer service.

A solid and really well run local restaurant. They have interesting specials and the cheese curds appetizers are tasty. You definitely need a reservation on weekend evenings, and they only take them by phone.

The food was great, huge portions, the staff very friendly and the service very good. Wouldn't say it's "haute cuisine," but very good in what they do. Great place to go. Ambience family type of place.

It's a nice restaurant with a very classy interior. This restaurant is a local favorite and so heavily visited. Always make a reservation the night before you plan to go. Staff is always super friendly. Food is really good. The chicken Alfredo is so good! It's a must try even if you're not a super Alfredo fan.

1st time here, food and service were exceptional. Very cozy place. We started with the bang bang shrimp and wings, both were very tasty. Dinner was very good, huge portions. I had the fettuccine with seafood pictured, my wife had a chic dish that looked delicious. Other family had the broiled seafood special, huge amounts of food and reasonable pricing. Desserts were excellent. We highly recommend and will go back.

Wonderful food prepared by culinary professionals, Always have one of the specials or choose one on the great menu. Select from their wine selection for that special occasion with your family.Attentive waitresses are always available to recommend a entree or one of the Specials of the night

A hidden gem about 15 minutes outside of Bolton Landing. While the area doesn't have a ton of great restaurants, this one definitely exceeds expectations. The quality, portions and pricing are like none other. We came here twice during our trip to Bolton Landing--be sure to make a reservation! Here's what our table ordered: -She Crab soup is an absolutely must. It's so flavorful and full of crab meat. -Salads are made with homemade dressing and I definitely recommend the blue cheese dressing or ranch dressing. -Chloe fries are so simple and outrageously good. Definitely splurge on these for your table. The potatoes are super crispy, the cheese is melty and the ranch gives it a nice creaminess. -Chloe Chicken is the same as the fries but with chicken breast and two sides. Absolutely delicious and worth every calorie --The eggplant and chicken parm were huge portions! -The steak with crab cakes are so good and the price can't be beat! -Definitely get a bottle of wine because there are so many options to choose from and they're about $18 or less! -Last end with dessert. Even if you can eat them, box them up to go! The peanut butter is rich and delicious!

We have dined here beginning back at the original location and now a bunch times in "downtown" Pottersville. Great people, great food and reasonable prices. Old favorites like She Crab bisque, Bang Bang Shrimp to start and then excellent sea food and pasta dishes. Key Lime pie and Chocolate Bread Pudding to finish. Nice wine choices and fairly priced. There's no better restaurant for many, many miles around. Highly recommended!

We had a successful first visit for a romantic dinner. Decor is quaint - not fancy. There were lots of big tables, but they set the two tops off to the side by the bookshelf which made it feel more intimate. Even with reservations there was a little wait on a Friday night, and plenty of drop-ins told it would be an hour or more for a table. We saw others BYOB, but they had a nice moderately priced wine list. Our server Tori was a sweetheart. Started with the Bang Bang shrimp salad and tuna nachos, both were amazing, full of flavor. Crab cakes were also delish, but the rice was pretty bland and cold. I got the crab stuffed halibut with sautéed spinach instead of the rice. Finished it off with their delicious homemade key lime pie. A great night out and would return.

Very rarely do I give a 5 star review. The food and price were very good, but the service provided by Anna was excellent. My brother and his wife split a steak and scallop entree, being in their 70's their appetite is not what it was. There was no extra plate charge and they very nicely split it in the kitchen. My lovely wife had the seafood pasta. It was a blend of shrimp and scallops in a cheesy cream sauce on linguine. I had the chicken and eggplant parm with penne in Marinara sauce. All portions where sizeable, we all took home trays. For dessert was cheese cake with a drizzle strawberry and a peanut butter pie, both were very good. Anna the waitress was the best service I have had in years. She was attentive without being annoying. She told you the special and explained what they were. She spoke quickly but clearly. We were well served and will be back.

We wondered in a different direction the other night and dined at Cafe Adirondack. Cozy dining room with great food. Our server was fantastic, she was prompt and knowledgeable of the menu. The food was great too! Great portions of delicious food. We will be back.

The ambiance was quaint, easy to have a conversation. Other guests were inclusive and friendly. Our server Anna was very good. The food quality was excellent, my Wife had chicken picatta and I had grilled Salmon. portion sizes were large, we have another meal from the leftovers. Cookery was proper and seasoning was on point, no salt and pepper shakers on the table. There are four doors in the front of the building, but the main entrance is at the back. For first timers, better signage would be helpful to find the way in. the maitre'd was welcoming and brought us to our table directly. Reservations are recommended as it was booked full on a Thursday night, now we know why! Enjoy!

Very busy place, but delicious food and good wine options. Definitely get reservations, they are very busy especially in the summer season. Parking available.

Food was excellent! Interesting menu, nice layout, and HUGE portions. Love the creativity by the chef. They have parking and take reservations. Would definitely return! Service was very good even if main courses took a bit of time.

Website states take out orders are to be placed between 3pm-5pm. I called twice in two weeks now trying to place a to-go order, well before 5pm (4:20 today) and I was turned away again. The person on the phone said they already have a few to-go orders placed (whatever that means). I would not waste my time here again.

Tasty food and mountain ambience. Just a nice place to eat. A little out of the way but I think it's worth it for the price.

Nice, friendly atmosphere. Portions are huge, too much so. Absolutely everyone walking out with takeout containers. Prefer better food, smaller portions, priced accordingly. Shrimp and scallops in scampi were cooked nicely. Chicken in Alfredo and chicken picatta were not good. Chicken picatta not at all browned. Cutlets too thick and served in gloppy sauce not properly cooked.

Damm wish I didn't live 3 plus hours away . My friend who has s as vacation hone in the area recommended this place and it was the best , as he said the place looks like nothing on the outside but what a great time we had, the food was very good and large portions at excellent prices . The wine was only marked up by about 50 percent instead of the usual 100-200 plus The service was excellent Colleen was s as delight Well done and continue being successful

Always excellent service and delicious food. The portions are generous and the prices are very reasonable (don't know how they do it for the price). Very nice wining and dining atmosphere. This is our go to place for birthday celebrations.

I've eaten here a couple of times. You can count on a good size meal for the money. Taste has always been good. The service is exceptional. Ambiance is typical of a cafe in upstate NY. Every time I'm in Pottersville I make it a point to go eat here! You will not be disappointed.

It is a great local restaurant. Their portions are plentiful and their prices are reasonable. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere.

Fantastic food, service, and big portions! The price is right too! I highly recommend and I am normally a pretty tough critic.

We've been there over a dozen times. The food is reliably good, the portions are very large, the prices are reasonable and the service is always excellent. Order carefully; some of the food is rich and some is simple and grilled. Make sure you read the menu or you might be surprised by your meal. The bang bang shrimp is an appetizer that we order EVERY time. The ahi tuna nacho platter is awesome. The Chloe fries are wildly yummy. I don't think anyone has been disappointed with their dish except my uncle who doesn't like anything.

Awesome food, huge portions, great prices and excellent service! We will be sure to visit again! We had the bang bang shrimp, two crab cakes, Victoria chicken, Chloe chicken, grilled shrimp Parm , chicken tenders with fries and cheesecake. We left with plenty of leftovers which did not last long they got eaten up the next day which says a lot, usually I throw away leftovers that sit in my fridge for a few days. This place will surely be at the top of our list next time we venture out!

If you are looking to stop for dinner off the Northway in the Schroon Lake area, this place is in Pottersville seconds off Exit 26. Large wine selection. Food portions are large and varied. Friendly local service. Lots of parking.

THIS is the HIDDEN GEM of a RESTAURANT in the Adirondack Park Bring the Children,Bring the In-Laws Everytime you will enjoy Exceptional Service by an outstanding waitress staff. The food is always delicious cooked to order. This Summer we have been there with family & friends (22) times May 15-August 21..2023.."""BUT YOU MUST CALL FOR RESERVATIONS """Don't be disappointed... missing out on a true CULINARY EXPERIENCE. .. @ Cafe Adirondack

Outstanding food, ambiance and staff. From lasagna soup to fish, salad and delicious wine you can't go wrong,

Food was fantastic!! Service was great and I would recommend this place to everyone. Great atmosphere an a pleasant atmosphere

Very disappointing. We wanted to like this place but the service was horrible. Should have known when we sat down and the table next to us told the waitress to just pack their meals to go because they were waiting so long. Took almost a half hour for us to just get drinks. Had to remind the waitress twice that I asked for a cup of ice. Finally had the bus boy bring a cup of ice to the table. Told us they didn't have Prosecco but there were at least 20 bottles in the cooler right by the front door when we left. Shouldn't have thrown a brand new waitress to the wolves on a busy Saturday night. Asked for the steak to be medium but was very rare. Even after we had it cooked more, it was just burnt on the outside and still rare on the inside (Pittsburgh). Food was just average so probably won't try to give them a second chance.

The absolutely disgusting attitude of the woman who answered the phone will ensure this establishment will never get my business and they shouldn't get yours either (unless you enjoy substandard customer service). We called shortly after they opened and were told that their computer system was down and we should call back later. We called 5 minutes prior to their "no takeout" window after 5 pm and were told that they weren't taking anymore takeout orders. I explained how we had called earlier and the very rude woman begrudgingly agreed to take our order, but not before she gave me a lecture on all the locations their takeout windows were listed. I called during their designated hours that they list on all their platforms and they still attempted to turn me away. She then cut me off mid sentence with a raised voice to take my order. The owners of this establishment should reconsider who they have as the voice on the other end of the phone because it's costing them business.

It's always worth repeating up front, this is a BYOB/W since they do not have a liquor license. With that out of the way, we had a party of six that arrived for their 5 o'clock opening since we were planning on attending a play at the Seagle Music Colony later that evening. While others in our party brought wine, I brought a bottle of Ursae Majoris Oud Bruin Ale from the Jolly Pumpkin brewery. My wife had a cup of the She-Crab soup ($4.50). Just as the menu promised, it was rich and creamy with lump crab and sherry. My wife gave it a thumbs up, and I agreed. I started with the Asian Dumplings ($8) - six dumplings steamed with Thai vegetables, topped with ginger soy wasabi sauce, diced tomato, and scallions, served over fresh spinach. Another delicious appetizer. Our entrees came with complimentary side salads and fresh bread. I had the chunky blue cheese for my dressing and it had good sized chunks of decent blue cheese. I never bothered to try the bread on this visit since I wanted to make sure I had room for my entrée and I thought it was only OK on my last visit. Speaking of entrées, I had the Sea Scallops ($23). There were 12 medium sized broiled scallops, mildly seasoned, served over a bed of fresh spinach, with drawn butter on the side along with seasoned rice and sautéed vegetables. The scallops were perfectly cooked and tasty. The rice and vegetables were just average. But I ate everything on my plate and was quite satisfied. My wife ordered the Grilled Salmon ($22). There were at least 3 or 4 good sized pieces of wild salmon, nicely grilled, with a cucumber-dill sauce on the side, and the same seasoned rice and sautéed vegetables that I had. My wife believed that the veggies were actually previously frozen, but I couldn't tell. My sister ordered the Petite Seared Tuna ($17). It was 4 ounces of Ahi tuna steak seared to medium rare, sliced, with a wasabi and ginger soy sauce on the side along with a plain rice and the same sautéed vegetables once again. The Ahi tuna looked beautiful and my sister said it tasted delicious. A couple of desserts were in order to finish off the meal. I ordered and shared a Peanut Butter pie while I believe it was my sister who ordered and shared a Bread Pudding, I think with blue berries. My peanut butter pie was light and delicious, bringing back memories of the best peanut butter pie I ever had when I was in Bradenton, Florida at a café run by an Amish family. The bread pudding had a consistency like I'd never experienced before, but that was not a bad thing. It had lots of flavor and was moist. Service was very attentive, with water glasses being refilled, and our server available whenever we needed her. They even had a pair of reading glasses available at the hostess's podium for one in our party who was having difficulty reading the menu. The value here is very good. We split the bill for four in our party and it came to $33 a person including tax and 20% tip.

I made a reservation on a Wednesday for Thursday at 7:30 - 4 people. I gave the person my name and phone number. I did this in front of two of my friends. I realize now I should have gotten her name and will always do this in the future! We get to the restaurant and I am told, after waiting for ten minutes for anyone, that there was no reservation! The young man says we can seat you around 8. There were many other people waiting so I know this was not going to work. After communicating this with my friends I went back in to ask the young man for the name of the person who took the reservation. I was first told he would, then he said no one there did, and then he said no one could have taken the reservation at the time I had called!! He was very lucky that I did not start screaming after he practically told me I was a liar. The food is great but this stuff is horrible and we will never set foot near the place again. We are also spreading the word.

No take away food for the rest of the summer??, guess I won't bother trying to support your restaurant during the off season anymore! Food is mediocre at best

I suggest this place to anyone a nice date night or just a family night out it is the best place the lighting is great it's really pretty inside and I got food tonight and it was quick and so delicious the waitress are the nicest people ever I had Tori she was amazing. I got the Asian Dumplings and scallops and the scallops were really nice and buttery and the dumplings were full and yummy i'd eat there every day if I could and prices are reasonable.

Great food and selection, realistic prices. Staff friendly and professional. I'm not a wine drinker, but my wife makes up for that,! Quite a selection, and she approves!

Excellent experience, with excellent service, and extraordinary food! The Seafood Diablo was to die for! And lets not forget about the bang bang shrimp we had for appetizers. I would recommend reservations but go when you can go. It is worth the wait! Gets off to our server Crystal! She had a great sense of humor, and was quick to deliver everything we requested. We give it 5 out of 5 stars!
