Dined this past weekend, Five Star Resort,
very ordinary,
Will not blame service staff or Caesar Salad both good, entree Lobster and Crab Ravioli dry and tasteless, very disappointed, brought to the attention of the waitstaff, fell upon deaf ears,
If you can’t produce quality meals in the off season, what happens during peak. Summer in town, won’t get my $$$$$.👎
Risotto, gelato, creme brulle great. Service perfect. Atmosphere cozy, but elegant.
We went for dinner at 7pm on a Saturday night. We made reservations but definitely didn't need to, it wasn't that busy. Our waitress was very friendly and took great care of us. Our dinner was very good, we had the lobster shrimp scampi for an appetizer, the chicken saltimbocca and steak filet due dish for our mains, followed by the cream brulee which was to die for! We were so full that we each only ate half of our mains and asked for them to be packed up to have for lunch the next day. To our surprise when we got home and went to warm up lunch, they only packed the half piece of meat from each dish we had left and NONE of the sides that were left on our plate (which was quite a bit). So unfortunately even though our time there was nice, for the price I'm sorely disappointed and feel gipped! Buyer beware!
The food was good. New year's eve buffet, so maybe not the greatest time to rate.
The Sagamore hotel is a vintage treasure hidden away in Adirondacks. Its breathtaking views and desolate location only add to the ambiance of this unique restaurant. This hidden gem is a far off the beaten track. And The La Bella Vita, Italian restaurant is an unforgettable experience, that is well worth having.There are seven other restaurants on site, this is one of my favorites.
The bar,offset by the restaurant , doubles as a cozy lounge area. Their live acts are class acts. I almost passed up the chance to sit outside and enjoy the view, to listen to the jazz musician going HAMM (respectfully so..) on his own renditions of some popular songs, that would have gotten more radio airplay- if he was the original artist. Killed it.
The menus is pricey, as to be expected. The serving sizes are filling - and the plates are artistically inclined. Even the pizza I ordered had a little character to it; I had the Classic Margherita Pizza, the crushed Roma and tomatoes were as fresh as they were tasty. The pesto and basil sauce was full of long lasting flavor. My wife had the Hand Crafted Gnocchi -- the texture of the wild mushrooms complimented the fresh spinach and salty-crispy Italian bacon perfectly. It was all smothered in a creamy pecorino sauce (aka creamy deliciousness) The Gnocchi couldn't have been cooked any better. Needless to say she enjoyed the dish. I stole a few bites - it was a classic. The dessert was Strawberry shortcake with homemade vanilla ice cream and fresh strawberries - sprayed with fluffy-sweet-creamy-sweetness whip cream like substance.
The execution on classic Italian dishes as complicated as Chicken Saltimboca to as simple as Rustica Pizza, made with fresh recipes at a pleasantly executed at an award winning restaurant, that is delightfully consistent, is very refreshing. The panoramic view of the Adirondacks, and the gorgeous, makes the restaurant feel more like ant is more like an experience than, just dinner.
Quality service and best quality food the view is amazing
RAVIOLI ARAGOSTA !!! Visited the restaurant on Valentines Day weekend. Our table was ready promptly for our reservation. We requested a window view, which was accommodated. Freshly baked bread was enjoyable, but did not arrive until our entrees. One of our drinks was completely wrong, however was promptly corrected. Main dishes were fantastic. Filet duo was cooked wonderfully. Each steak had a distinct flavor. The Gorgonzola was not to my liking but the mushroom pesto was fantastic. Now, the highlight. Ravioli aragosta was life changing. Filled with sea food and wonderfully presented. Do yourself a favor and order the full size. Quality of service was above average, food and drinks very enjoyable.
Solid service and food
