I almost have reservations about writing this review because I do not want too many tourists in Lake George to know about East Cove. Simply put, it's a terrific restaurant that provides the best that Lake George has to offer. It's secluded from the main street in Lake George Village (Canada Street) but not far off the beaten path (near... More

Was told they have a good brunch setup and we weren't disappointed. There was a mix of breakfast and lunch items (eggs, bacon, pancakes, turkey, fish, pasta, etc). Everything looked fresh and was really excellent. We sat at the bar and talked to the owner about the area and swapped some Lake George stories. The bartender was friendly and we... More

We purchased a Groupon for the East Cove that included an appetizer, two entrees and two glasses of wine. We chose the crab cakes for an appetizer; it was good but not special. I had the salmon and my husband had the steak, we were hoping to do a mix and match surf and turf. Unfortunately, neither meal stood out.... More

If you get anything from this review I hope it's NEVER go to East Cove. Owner Pete was extremely rude, food was disgusting, badly prepared, and definitely the cheapest cuts of meat. Our entire experience was horrendous. Food took almost an hour, restaurant was almost empty, and when we questioned why taking so long we didn't see our server again... More

Once a year we get to Lake George, NY in the fall and the only place we go for dinner is the East Cove restaurant. Clearly a long standing local hangout, it's log cabin structure, warm fireplace, and friendly staff always make it a special evening. We usually have seafood and have never been disappointed. It is easy to overcook... More

Arriving without a reservation, we were met by Steve, who gave us a very warm welcome and instantly showed us to a table. He was very friendly and happy to chat to us . Julie, our waitress for the evening appeared with a nice smile and friendly manner, and politely and efficiently attended to all our needs for the evening.... More

This used to be one of my favorite places to eat. However the prices have sky rocketed and the menu is very select. We were with a group of 9 for a birthday party. Food was a disappointmet. Two of us had burgers and were both sick the next day. It was reported to the owner, but they assured us... More

Went to East Cove Restaurant last Sunday. There were many open tables so we figured we could be in and out with enough time to catch the last tour boat for a one hour tour of Lake George. We arrived at 5:45pm, ordered by 5:55. Our dinners finally arrived at 6:50 pm. Me, my wife, and my 2 children ordered... More
