Definitely my favorite restaurant if you do not mind leaving the woods and travelling south to the big city of Utica. Great atmosphere, and incredible food and service. Winner of numerous awards. While you are there, if Utica Coffee, next door, is open, you may want to pick up the best coffee in the Utica area.

About a 30 minute drive from The Lakehouse. Although it sounds like a local pub, Steak 'n Brew, located at the base of Snow Ridge ski resort in the Tugg Hill region, has a nice atmosphere, and the food is prepared by the owner/chef, who takes pride in his meals and service. Several of the steaks and a few of the deserts can be prepared table side for a unique experience.
