Food and Beverage Magazine applauds The View Restaurant

Lake Placid – The View Restaurant at Mirror Lake Inn Resort and Spa in the Northern Adirondacks has secured its 19th consecutive AAA Four Diamond rating. Some kind words follow from Food and Beverage Magazine.

This confirms its status as the Upstate New York region’s sole four-diamond dining establishment. The contemporary American restaurant sources from approximately 12 local farms to showcase regional terroir to guests. The wine program has also earned Wine Spectator’s two-glass award annually since 2018.
