Service was great people were nice and friendly. However the food was lacking. The beef filet was excellent and cooked to perfection, however extremely over priced. The shrimp remalade was extremely spicy and almost inedible. Chicken was dry and overly herby. All in all, disappointed, expensive, and would not go back or recommend.

Went here during winter and the food was incredible. I got the chicken and my wife the fish and it might have been the freshest food wed had all year. Service was friendly and warm and the views of the lake frozen over were stunning.

My wife and i felt welcomed to the restaurant. Everyone working their was very nice and friendly. But the down side, our Chicken entre and beef cheek entre was not good. Left disappointed about the food.

Wait staff are friendly but it is difficult understanding the dialect of the host and some servers. The host has the option of seating us in a choice, central location but instead seats us in a less optimal location. We ask for the center location with the best view and we get repositioned there. Not certain why we were not offered that table in the first place. The primary reason for the low rating is we are disappointed when presented the menu and told that only a 3 course fixed prix meal is available. When the reservation was booked several months ago there was no indication there would be a change from the published menu. Further, the Inn sent multiple e-mail communications regarding our upcoming stay and never mentioned changes to dining options. We give pushback over the fixed prix menu but no alternatives are offered. Considering the restaurant has a 24 hour cancellation policy with a credit card on file, leaving the restaurant at this point isn't a viable option. We are presented a "...basket of hot breads with salted butter..." that is the most uninspired dinner bread I've ever experienced. Slices of soft white and wheat bread that is doughy and tasteless! My wife's meal is served barely above room temperature. Wait staff is inattentive and by the time they become aware we are not happy we are not interested in pursuing a correction. Based on this experience the staff are friendly but difficult to understand and seem to lack good customer service skills. Food is uninspired and there is poor quality control of plating to serve the food hot.

Five stars all the way! From the second we were greeted at the host table, to being sat and our orders taken to the food delivery and attention....just all amazing! I have a gluten and tree nut allergy so I ordered "off menu" and the chef was able to prepare something for my dietary restrictions. My Boyfriend got the Fish which was melt in your mouth perfect and fresh! We had dined the night before in town and it was so disappointing that we decided to "splurge" and treat ourselves to a quality meal at the Mirror Lake Inn. The Inn itself was decorated gorgeous, like out of a Hallmark movie so a lot of nice spots to get selfies or photos. We asked the host to take our photo in front of the Valentine's Day tree and he kindly obliged. We will be back! Also, PS - the Macaroons at the end of the meal were great and also gluten free which I appreciated! Dietary restrictions: Gluten and Tree nut allergy and does not eat seafood or red meat
