“The secret of success in life is to eat what you like and let the food fight it out inside.”
– Mark Twain
Bistro LeRoux has been around for more than a decade. Chef owned and operated restaurant in Queensbury, they are known for their original menu, with many great flavors and sauces. Our favorite part: every entree and salad are available in either a large or a small portion – so you can sample the menu in every meal! Do not miss the Ahi Tuna Roll – and don’t forget dessert!

Radici has been a Glens Falls staple since they opened in 2019. Chef owned and operated, Brian and Carly go out of their way to bring the best in cuisine to Warren County. You can always count on amazing specials and fresh seafood ($2 Oysters at the bar too). You will not be disappointed by their menu, craft cocktails or the upscale atmosphere and service.

Caldwell House Restaurant and Martini Bar is on Route 9 just north of the French Mountain Outlets. This cozy log cabin restaurant is the perfect place for a night out in the Adirondacks. It is chef owned and operated, specializing in hand-cut steaks and fresh seafood all made to order. Don’t overlook the Prime Rib prepared blacked with bernaisse sauce! They also offer a great martini selection.

Massie‘s is ‘over the bridge’ in South Glens Falls, but worth the drive for authentic italian recipes handed down for generations. The Braciola is a special treat. Check their website for hours.

Brunetto’s
We debated including this in the list because we want to keep it our little secret! It’s no secret what a special place Brunettto’s is, and reservations are strongly recommended. With a menu that changes weekly, you’re sure to see something new and delicious every trip. Located in Warrensburg (about 25 minutes from Vista Lakehaus), check their facebook page for hours.
