Artisans At The Lake Placid Lodge

It was fantastic from start to finish. Enjoying drinks at Maggie's Pub and dinner at The Craftsmen created an unforgettable experience, and the service was impeccable.

The dining experience was disappointing and overpriced, with a total bill of $400 for dinner and wine. The crabcake cup was bland and had a gum-like texture, while the salad was lackluster. The special steak, priced at $128 for two, was underseasoned and not substantial enough for sharing. The potato side was unappetizing, but the Brussels sprouts and asparagus were decent. The bread and butter were excellent. Although the wine selection was good, the prices were excessive. Our water glasses needed refilling, and when I pointed out that the decanter was chipped, the server seemed more concerned about liability than customer satisfaction. The restaurant was nearly empty, yet we still had to ask for water, bread, and to bring the check. Overall, it was an unsatisfactory experience.

My partner and I visited Artisans for the first time in 2012 and had a fantastic experience. Before our most recent trip, I came across some mixed reviews, but we decided to move forward with our plans for a second visit. I'm so glad we did—it may have even been better than our first time! We went with some friends, and they loved it just as much. The food was innovative and delicious, the portions were quite generous, the atmosphere was unbeatable, and our server, José, was a gem! We can't wait to go back.

One of my favorite restaurants when I come to the lake placid. delicious menu. a bit expensive, but the splurge worth it.

Disappointing service. Food was good. Wine list was outrageously overpriced. Went here to celebrate a milestone birthday. I called the restaurant to inform them of the birthday and there was only a verbal recognition upon sitting. After dinner when normally ordering a dessert I expect to have a candle at the minimum if not somehow stating Happy birthday on the plate. Don’t get me wrong. I don’t expect any singing, in fact I’m not a fan of such at a high end restaurant. I expect an elegant recognition of the celebration. Upon bring my disappointment to the manager who was at least saying the right things the waitress then came out and have a half hearted apology. I will never return again
