The Cottage at Mirror Lake Inn

We enjoyed dinner here. We reached around 6 PM so wait time was approx 40 mins. We took some drinks while we waited. There's a dedicated seating space for guests in the queue. The bar is rich and drinks are served in around 10 minutes, despite the busy hours. Staff is friendly and attentive. Food is average. Some items were fresh while some were more like pre-made and felt stale. What deserves a special mention? It's a good place to enjoy drinks during evening with some snack. What could be better? The wait area chairs and table could be cleaner. Nobody enjoys sitting on stained couch/chair. This place has great views, if they improved the quality of food, it would be a must visit option.

I liked the lunch I had here today. I ordered The Cottage house chili. And a pesto/mozzarella artisan flatbread. And their blackberry lemonade cocktail. All very good. The views of Mirror Lake are gorgeous from the restaurant windows. Safe travels. 😊

Went last year, fell in love and came back twice this year. We were not disappointed. When it was an hour wait on the Fourth of July, they allowed us to order drinks inside and sit in a drinks only section with our dogs which had some of the best views of the lake. The next day we went and got lunch there and sat outside on their patio with the dogs. Not only were they accommodating to our dogs, but the food was great. Can’t wait to come back next year.

This place has interesting bathroom doors that are difficult to get into and out of! 😆 For dessert I had a slice of peanut butter pie. It was on the small side and cost a whopping $13. I let them know it was my birthday, and if you are wondering whether I got a free drink, appetizer or dessert... no, no I didn’t.

What a beautiful spot to have lunch if you are visiting the city. Good food, nice views. Totally recommend!

A wonderful, charming spot right above Mirror Lake. The view from the window is stunning, and the food is absolutely delicious—every dish is pure delight. The fact that you allow dogs to join their families during meals makes the experience even more exceptional. Thank you for providing such an amazing opportunity. Grateful on behalf of our family and our four-legged daughter! 🐾❤️

Reasonable prices and can't beat the view! Great place for casual drinks and food on mirror lake

Nice lake view. Unfortunate they don’t take reservations, not a good sign in season typically meaning — we have lots of customers, don’t really need to accommodate you. They said 1.5 hours wait, was actually more like 40 minutes (usual practice). Server, Audrey, was so nice! We sent the Brussels sprouts back three times. They were still hard as rocks. Needed to be steamed first. The bbq pulled pork was delicious. Drinks were good. All for a reasonable price especially being on the lake. Then we took the key lime pie to go which was a good move because it was so delicious we would have gotten more were we eating it in the cafe!
