By far, most of the food we’ve had in the Lake Placid area has been pretty disappointing… but this place finally restored our hope! We stopped at another breakfast spot first and they told us it was a 50-minute wait for fried eggs and potatoes. 😅 Hard pass. So we walked over here, saw it was open and looked nice inside, and decided to give it a try. So glad we did! The service was great, the breakfast was delicious, and best of all, we didn’t have to wait forever for our eggs. Definitely a solid spot!

My sisters and I were in Lake Placid for the weekend every restaurant and pub had the Olympics on their television. The best was the Dancing Bear we went all three days cocktails one night snack the next and this morning we went and have breakfast. Amy and her staff were absolutely fantastic!!! Food was delicious service the best they cheered with the crowd and didn’t rush us out 😄😄 Thank you Amy and staff for making our weekend special 😄😄😄❤️❤️

Overall, fantastic experience. Great waitress who was very attentive but not overbearing! Eggs were cooked just like an over medium egg should taste. Pancakes tasty. My husband liked the eggs Benedict.

We went to Dancing Bears with a group of 6 for a bachelor party and had a great time! The restaurant was super clean and really easy to get to right from downtown Lake Placid. The food was excellent, and the staff were all super friendly. Our waitress even surprised one of our group with a little birthday cake, which was a really nice touch. Prices were pretty average for this type of place, and overall the experience was great. Definitely would recommend it and would go again!

We really enjoyed the meal and the service. Joey was helpful and kind. We were very pleased with the food, the best we’ve had in the area, this weekend.

Probably one of the best restaurants in Lake Placid! The prices are slightly high for what you're getting, but its town prices. We were happy to be seated around 830pm after we were turned away from Smoke Signals (they started running out of food). Each of us were happy with our meal, they have a big enough menu for everyone to find something they will like. The atmosphere is welcoming and homey, with lots of Olympic memorabilia. The bar was packed and everyone there was having tons of fun. Also, you have to try the shirley temples! (The brand is probably all over the place here, but our people from Philly loved it!)

The place is centrally located by Mirror Lake and on the Main Street. Beautiful rustic decor and has a bar inside it as well. The food was good and brought soon after placing the order. Our server Carlos was amazing. Very courteous and eloquent and nice. We could see the mountain and lakes from our table. The older lady at the bar whereas, was rude. All she did was stay at the bar upset and complaining (murmuring out loud) about how she hates the place, hates the bar etc etc. when we asked for help she was rude & literally yelling. Other than that, the food is something can bring you back.

Good service and good food. Ordered a wrap, my husband ordered a burger and kids ordered off the kids menu. There was no price and had we asked the price first I would have picked a flat bread or something else for them to share. Kids meals were $14 each. Hot dog and fries apple sauce and drink. My Mediterranean wrap was $16. A kids meal and an adult meal should not cost close to the same. That’s my only complaint. I’d eat here again but would pick something else for the kids to share with us instead.

Nice place. Wanted a small serving meal and this was a good choice. I got the Blackened shrimp taco but unfortunately it wasn’t blackened!? Server was gray atmosphere was good. Have a 4 overall for not blackening the shrimp.

Nice bar and grill on the main drag of lake placid. We stop by regularly every time we are visiting lake placid. The foods are standard bar and grill offerings but with a nice touch. They do update their menu new offerings once a while. The location and view are great, you over look at the mirror lake and can people watch the pedestrians hanging out in downtown lake placid. The servers are always super friendly and fun. We love it much better than the black bears across the street. :D

Food was OK, service was SLOW. I had the chorizo skillet which was tasty but nearly inedible with the grease it was floating in. My dining companion had the three egg omelette which was delicious. I had a cappuccino which was very good. They have real maple syrup on the table which is a great touch. The service was not good. They never came back to bring the check or check on the food and ultimately had to decide between walking out without paying or going to the bar and insisting. We went to the bar to pay. Also hostess station said please wait to be seated but was unstaffed. Plenty of workers, but not good service. Almost 90 minutes for breakfast and that just doesn’t work. Take a look at the grease in my photo of the skillet before you order it. I would look elsewhere before dining here.

Food was excellent and restaurant was beautiful. Had a view of the lake since the place was basically empty and we were able to sit in the window. I can’t begin to put into words just how heavenly my breakfast was. However, the service was absolutely awful. An older woman was serving when I was there and was loudly complaining about people being in the restaurant, was rude while we ordered, and was rolling her eyes the entire time my table and I were sat. It was incredibly awkward to be sitting within earshot of her loudly complaining about literally everything.

We ordered room service from here as we were staying in the hotel the restaurant is connected to. The food came very fast and the gentleman delivering it was very nice. However the food was incredibly underwhelming especially for the price. I had the gnocchi which was overcooked that it was basically like mashed potatoes. I will say the taste wasn’t too bad but the texture was just too off putting. My partner had the Korean Tacos which were actually pretty good. The food wasn’t awful but it also wasn’t great, especially not for how much it costs. Eating in the actual restaurant might be a better experience.

If I can give negative one stars. I absolutely would. The waitress , has no concept of customer service. The food took over 30 minutes to come out, and the order was botched. They messed up sunny side eggs … the most easiest order … No wonder this was the only place empty for brunch. Wouldn’t recommend for anyone to even bother. Grab a quick breakfast sandwich from Stewart’s instead …

This was their extra crispy corned beef hash with a sunny side up egg…..looks like over medium with potatoes and barely cooked tiny chunks of corned beef if you ask me. Worst breakfast I’ve ever had here in town unfortunately, but our server was friendly.
