Restaurants
Cliff Mark worked (wrote about beer, wine and spirits), ate and drank in the Saratoga area for most of this decade. The following are places that he has dined at:
Glens Falls
- Siam Thai - Traditional asian cuisine, Sushi Bar, date worthy
- Mikado - Hibachi Dinner, Sushi Bar, great for groups, call ahead for Hibachi reservations.
- Davidson Brothers Brewpub - Good beer, good prices
- There are a couple of Pizza Jerks (like the one at Killington) in the area
- Common Roots in South Glens Falls has a brand new building with plenty of space for many groups to spread out. Great beers and food too.
- Mean Max in downtown Glens falls - local brew pub with a wide variety of local restaurants who will deliver to the brewery
Lake George
- Adirondack Pub & Brewery (I87 exit 21) - World-class beers and decent food. Their seasonal beers are great. They also own the distillery next door
- Lake George Beach Club, next to Shepard park in Lake George Village – Local Hot spot with live music, fun food and located on the lake. Winter Carnival favorite during the month of February. No cover charge.
Saratoga
There are plenty of very high priced (over $100 pp before drinks and wine) restaurants. However, there are a few reasonably priced options:
- Hatties (I87 exit 15) - Southern and Cajun menu. Jasper’s fried chicken bested Bobby Flay’s. Moderately priced, very cool place
- Druther’s (I87 Exit 15) - World-class beer brewed by a “celebrity brewer”. Much better than average brewpub food.
- Forno Bistro (I87 exit 15) - Better than average Italian. Moderate prices.
