Artisans at the Lake Placid Lodge Reviews List

Artisans at the Lake Placid Lodge

Artisans is an intimate, warm and cozy fire-lit restaurant that extends out to the Lodge’s wide covered porches in fine weather. The high windows and grand porches seem to seat the diner almost upon the lake. Chef Nathan Rich and his dedicated team offer a full menu based on farm to table cuisine. The cuisine is seasonally inspired and New American in tradition, but voyages wonderfully and mysteriously into the world beyond. The Lodge has an exceptional wine collection that ranges from the modest to the illustrious and a magnificent and romantic dine-in wine cellar for special occasions.



Artisans is open to the public, and seating is limited, so reservations are highly recommended. Dining room service begins each evening at 6pm. Children over the age of twelve are welcome at the Lake Placid Lodge. Our chef will be happy to accommodate any special dietary needs or special requests they may have.

"we had a nice time here. the food was very good although fairly underseasoned. i had to add quite a bit of maldon salt to my soup. it was pretty bland. the steak should have just had a little olive oil on it or nothing at all. the barbecue sauce didnt fit the rest of the style of cooking. (which was excellent) but the service was very good, it was quiet and relaxing and a really nice evening. a really nice cabernet as well!"

"The place is beautiful, tucked in the woods. Can't ask for more during a ski trip. The place is not cheap, but the food and decor is top notch.."

"This was the first time at Artisans. The menu was cool,inventive and different The food was well presented well and extremely well prepared, flavorful and just delicious. Prices on the high side, but definitely high quality. Portions were reasonable. The only issues were drinks/wine. The very unique specialty drink list caught our attention until we saw the price of $20 per drink...yikes! We moved on to the wine list...which had an extremely large selection mostly $100 and up, with just a few bottles priced at just under $100. Would have liked some selections in the $50-$75 range as well. If they did people might dine there more often than just a special occasion. Server was friendly and attentive."

"This is beyond your normal restaurant as it perched directly on Lake Placid in the Lake Placid Lodge, one of the top places to stay in the country. The dining experience here is amazing due to the food and masterful service. The room is gorgeous. The location is gorgeous. The food is amazing. A very special place. The Lake Placid Lodge has a no children policy."
