This evening I met Marian and Joe Romano. In a tough situation, they were all smiles and full of understanding. Ill be honest,I was kind of rude to them and they turned the other cheek and killed it with kindness. I have not yet visited their well known Stillwater Restaurant and Hotel, but if it is any reflection of the owners, it will get 5 stars everyday. It was very nice to meet them both. If this will be the couple who reads this, I look forward to making the next conversation a better one.

I stayed three nights at the Stillwater Hotel. Joe and Marian are excellent hosts, working many hours to ensure your stay is satisfactory. The food is delicious and reasonably priced. My accommodations were very clean and also reasonably priced. Without hesitation I will stay there again. The hummingbirds were an added bonus!

This was my first time visiting. I would not hesitate to return! The owners are the nicest people and take great care of the property. Food is outstanding, rooms are clean and comfortable and the atmosphere is awesome! I would highly recommend this place. I am already looking forward to my next visit.

I head up to Stillwater two or three times a year to camp with my kayak. I usually pack up and head home. This time I decided to have lunch at the hotel. Not that three days of my camping cooking is bad but I was hungry. It has been years since I had the chance to eat there. I had a great lunch, great service, and a friendly server. So happy I stopped. Definately will stop again.

Take off point for Stillwater Reservoir canoe trip. Great service, food. A must stop before or after.

We didn't stay at the hotel but had dinner. View from the patio is awesome. Food was delicious and the service was good. A minor complaint was it got crowded and the patio filled up quickly . The waitress did her best to keep up and did well - but there was little help for her which made us feel bad for her as she was getting pulled in many directions.

Food were great. Staff were okay but still nice and the dogs were cute! One of the staff helped me on my questions about camping in the Adirondacks so that's cool.

Upon walking in, it looks like a very messy gift shop. Bar to left, diner to right. No signs stating whether to wait or seat yourself. No one came up to us (bar was full) so we seated ourselves. Waitress, Jessica, was FANTASTIC! Very attentive and just so friendly, made up for the unsure feeling walking in. We ordered our lunch of Stillwater Steak Sandwich and Bacon mac n cheese. The sandwich was really good, steak you could cut with a fork, the brioche roll needed a knife lol mac n cheese was overpowered by burnt bacon. There was no bacon flavor just burnt pieces. However i did eat it all because i was so hungry. The view from our table was beautiful with the fall colors. Overall. I would def come back to try other items on the menu.

Two of these Stars simply go to the location and the natural beauty of it. You can sit outside or belly up to the. The food is typical bar food and could use more love put Into it. However the destination is so unique your chicken fingers and fries will taste twice as good. As the name implies you can actually rent a room here, although this is one of the top places to camp in the ADK. Next to the restaurant New Management runs the general store. This place is a top destination for snowmobiling if you're into that! Nearby you can climb the Stillwater fire tower which is a great hike for kids.

The place is great and the food is good too. Best crab cakes ice ever had but me and my buddy had lunch here. We had the crab cakes, he had soup, and I had a salad. Each had a coke. $50. Really pricey but kinda understandable because the location. I won't eat here again unless I have a money to blow.

For the past 30 years, I’ve enjoyed all that Stillwater has to offer. The lake, the setting, the bar, the merch… an awesome stop off the trail. This winter was the worst service I’ve had in years. The waitress was rude and barely acknowledged us. The lackluster interaction was bland at best and when we’d given up on ordering dessert after an extended wait, she rudely scoffed “I’m the only server” … which was untrue. The fries were not fully cooked and soaked in oil, perhaps Ore Ida or at best similar to school lunch. The French onion soup was not baked or flavorful, merely a raw, chewy glob of government cheese. There was a dirty dog running in and out of the kitchen and religious garb strewn about. I appreciate a family owned business and all that goes into it, but perhaps it’s time to take a more reflective look at your family business practices.

My partner and I had heard nice things about this place but when we went, it was a completely different story. A very nice waitress Jess began helping us before a very rude lady came over and practically snatched the menus out of our hands telling us they had switched to dinner. She sent the server away telling Jess she would help us instead. She had no idea what drinks we had ordered and never came to tell us if the food we wanted was available and just put in an order. Before our food came she was mumbling about the table being reserved for another couple and we would need to move but lucky for us it was 4:15 and they weren't coming till 6... Why she even brought it up I don't know... very unprofessional. She never checked in to see how our meal were or offered refills. But she wasted no time chatting with people who seemed like "regulars". I guess new customers aren't worth the conversation. We pulled Jess aside and asked her who the owners were as we wanted to say something about how rude this woman had been to her as well as the complete lacking of customer service. It turns out the rude woman WAS the owner. We can see why it is for sale. The owners hearts are just not into it anymore. There was also a huge dog walking in and out of the kitchen and coming up to tables. After we finished eating we sat there for over 15 minutes with no sign of the owner. Jess had been doing her job and helping others and saw us sitting there idly and went to get our server/owner. When the owner came over she seemed annoyed saying Jess had informed her we didn't want dessert and were ready to leave. She told us how the dessert was homemade and wasn't happy when we reaffirmed we were ready to leave. Partially due to the fact the whole meal was awkward and uncomfortable because of her attitude. The portions were tiny for the price, one app, two drinks, a cheeseburger and a BLT cost 70 dollars! We felt very sorry for Jess as she was great but we will not be returning.
