"Why didn't I find this sooner? This is definitely my go-to place to dine. Cozy! Fantastic food! Outstanding view!!! Hard to find this kind of great food in Lake George. And plenty of parking! You must try."

Terry Ryan

★★★★★

"Our dinner was beyond delicious. Their new chef John made everything SPOT ON. I don't know if I've ever been as happy with the cook on my steak. Steven has never eaten pickles, never, and he kept going back for more. And our server Taylor made sure everything was just perfect. I'd also like to shout out Courtney who really tried to make our experience just wonderful."

"Haven’t sat down for a meal at Fort William Henry since our wedding so it was great having the option to sit back in the white lion room as I love the atmosphere. The waitress was attentive and the food and drink were great! Highly recommend the vanilla pots de crème for dessert."

Morgan

★★★★★

"I have eaten at restaurants around the world and the food here is on a level with the best. Some of the best flavors I have ever experienced. The combination of flavor elements was superb, sweet, savory, sour and umami. Chef John provides an exceptional dining experience. So highly recommended that you won’t believe me until you try it yourself."
