Before you go

Best time to go

Fish Point is the signature lunch dish: egg-battered sole with lemon-butter sauce and fries. Lunch also includes salads, sandwiches and burgers, while dinner brings seafood, pasta and steak. The restaurant uses open seating and takes no reservations, so waits can vary; aim for an off-peak meal if you have a schedule. It generally operates from April through October, with dates and hours that shift each season. Food and service reactions are mixed, so come first for the setting and choose a dish that sounds good to you.

More about The Algonquin Restaurant

A meal by the waterThe Algonquin is a seasonal, family-run restaurant on the shore of Huddle Bay in Bolton Landing.

The Algonquin is a seasonal, family-run restaurant on the shore of Huddle Bay in Bolton Landing. Three outdoor decks and the docks face across Lake George toward Buck Mountain and Sweet Briar Island. Keep it in mind for a sit-down lakeside meal, especially if you’re already out on the water; you can arrive by road or by boat and tie up at the restaurant docks.

There’s indoor seating as well as three outdoor decks, and the Sweet Briar Island Overlook Bar looks across the bay. The restaurant’s docks make an easy photo stop: include a boat in the foreground and Buck Mountain across the water. There’s no separate walk to the view.

A resort shorelineHuddle Bay’s hotel history predates the restaurant.

Huddle Bay’s hotel history predates the restaurant. The old Lake View House grounds were nearby when physicist Irving Langmuir bought neighboring land in 1925. By 1936, the Algonquin Hotel stood above the road; its former lakefront is now occupied by the restaurant and Chic’s Marina.
