The View Restaurant
Lake Placid’s only AAA Four Diamond Restaurant
Reservations are recommended.
Because we see such great demand as the only fine-dining restaurant in the High Peaks Region, we recommend you make your dining reservations well in advance of your arrival. Please reserve early!!
The View Restaurant, overlooking beautiful, serene Mirror Lake and the Adirondack Mountains, is Lake Placid’s only AAA Four-Diamond “Exceptional” restaurant.
The View’s beautifully appointed dining room offers breakfast daily, featuring a menu rich in the character and terroir of the Adirondacks with influences from Europe’s finest resorts, mountain, and alpine villages. During holidays and peak seasons, the View offers our hearty Adirondack breakfast buffet as an additional breakfast option.
The View dinner menu features house made pastas, custom cut and aged steaks, heritage breed meats, fresh fish flown in from around the world, and a large, curated offering of house crafted and locally produced foods.
In addition to Lake Placid’s finest food, the View features an amazing wine list, earning Wine Spectator’s Best of Award of Excellence for 20 consecutive years.
The View welcomes guests with special dietary needs and food allergies.
The View’s lounge offers a warm, comfortable, and inviting atmosphere, perfect for relaxing and unwinding with a hand crafted cocktail, glass of wine, beer or cider.
To ensure the safest possible indoor dining experience for our patrons, UV-C filters are present in all dining room and lounge/bar HVAC systems, effectively cleansing all recirculated air of bacteria, mold, and viral particles. Additionally, we have increased social distancing between tables and encourage any guest not feeling well to please visit at another time.

Cancellation Policy
When you make a reservation at The View we set a table aside for you that evening and plan our service accordingly.
In doing this we often have to turn away many other diners looking for a View experience. Because of this a credit card is required to hold all reservations.
There is a strict $50 per person cancellation fee for all reservation no-shows or cancellations within 24 hours of the reservation.
Should your dining plans change, we ask that you please let us know as soon as possible, so that we may put your table back into inventory.
If you cancel with less than 24 hours advance notice, you will be responsible for the entire cancellation fee.
We do not overbook our restaurant, and we guarantee you a table, therefore, we cannot make exceptions (for family emergencies, weather, snowstorm, accidents, illness, etc.) to our cancellation policy.
If this policy is uncomfortable to you please consider this prior to making a reservation at The View.
