We ordered a 3 egg omelet and you could get whatever you wanted in it, along with bacon or sausages, homefries, bagel or toast, english muffin. It fed me that morning and my husband the next with what I had left over.

On our first night we dined at the resorts signature restaurant, Kanu, and I ordered one of the daily specials: a NY strip steak with sweet potato fries and fresh asparagus spears. Our dishes arrived quickly and I was presented with a very large steak (lucky me!) but my first bite was all gristle. I cut off a second bite... More

We had breakfast one morning as well as lunch and dinner at Kanu. Great bar snacks and good pizzas! Dinner was pretty good too.

The food was cold and uninspired. The service was even worse. We were so tired of waiting that we had to find the wait staff to get the check. We waited a good ten minutes to be seated with two other couples while the receptionist trained a new staff person. When she finished she seated a couple that just arrived.... More

Kanu is a wonderful place to either enjoy romantically or with your children. The service was great, food was great and seating very comfortable. The atmosphere is relaxing and perfect for the Adirondack background. The only recommendation would be that if you do go with your children that it is more appropriate for older children. Mine are 10 and 14... More

Me and my wife visited Kanu for dinner in Feb 2013. We made reservations before arriving, since this is a popular place and there is limited seating. The following is our review: Ambiance: Very nice. Very spacious. Rustic yet elegant. Perfect for a romantic dinner or a special occasion. Service: Absolutely fantastic. The kitchen prepared dishes for me which were... More

We ate in the lounge, not the restuarant itself. The food was excellent and plentiful at very reasonable prices. The views from the lounge were amazing, as were the two huge fireplaces in the lounge. We enjoyed it so much we went back the next day.

Dining room is lovely. Bit fireplace and great great lodge feel. Food is fine, but nothing inspired. Service is good.

Group of 10 in for lunch. The entire property is impressive and the restaurant is beautiful. The burgers were tasty, chicken sandwich good and pizza ok. The service was slow(not the worst thing in the world on a relaxing Saturday afternoon). The execution was even worse. Three of the burgers were not what was ordered. In fact, the burgers that...

I will start off by saying, it's a little pricey, but the food is completely worth it. The food was fantastic! We had the special, rack of lamb, and it was cooked to perfection. The decor in the restaurant (and from what we saw at the Lodge) is absolutely gorgeous! If you love the rustic timber look, you will love... More
