Smoke Signals

This is a cool newer place in Lake Placid. We had dinner here one night and stopped by for drinks another. The maple corn bread is "to die for". For dinner I had the maple pecan glazed ribs which were great. The micro brew selection was good and cold too. Nice table view of mirror lake. Good selection of single and blended scotches (I tried the rare Sheep Dip scotch and was very satisfied with the pour, price and taste).

I am giving this restaurant 2 stars for  its beautiful decor.  The seating was lovely and the service attentive.  However, the food was poor and would have received 1star. My  brisket looked good, but the ends were so dried I had to cut them off. I couldn't chew the meat. There was not much flavor at all. My husband's pulled pork  sandwich was slightly better. It's a shame because it really is a lovely place but we won't be back unless the food improves.

Loved it.  

Great prices.  I got a veggie burger for only 11 dollars.  There is not a restaurant in Lake Placid that can offer a decent meal for around that price.  You also get a basket of corn bread here to start your meal which was moist and delicious.  The baked beans were great too.  Very sweet with pieces of bacon in them.

Seating was not a problem.  We walked in at 5 on a Saturday and were sat down immediately.  There was a tourist speaking loudly that he and his family wanted to sit down (about 14 people) and he wanted the place to realize they should take reservations.  I just wanted to snap at the customer and tell him to take his kids to Mcdonalds. Smoke Signals made it clear that they do not take reservations so keep this in mind that if you have a group of people.  

The place is beautifully decorated and it features a bar and live music upstairs until 2 am.  They have a large 80 inch tv too to watch while you are at the bar.
