This is the second year in a row we visited the Stagecoach Inn and our experience was just as magical as the first time in 2023. (I wrote a long review on Google last year). The highlight is how EVERYTHING is memorable: culinary options, the service and staff, and the ambience. The dinner - creative, DELICIOUS, and beautifully plated. Everything from the garlic oil on the butternut squash bisque to the olives in the tapenade in the winter veggie pot pie to the perfectly cooked, spare rib "lollipop" with some kind of candied bacon topping (it was GOOD - not that candied bacon you can buy at fairs) ... I only wish this restaurant was close to where we live! The Szchechuan Creme Brulee was a lovely dessert. Huge kudos to the Chef. The other highlight... the cocktail menu! I'm a mezcal lover and there were no fewer than 3 different cocktails with mezcal in them... That was only dinner. .. The Innkeeper made sure we had a parking spot when we arrived after a long drive in snow showers. The cheese board we pre-ordered was delicious. The room was cozy, perfectly clean, a mix of rustic and modern. We warmed up with a hot bath. Breakfast was also full of star-studded courses. We had, this time, an omlette roulade as the main course. My biggest delight? The butter that came with the scone was NOT ROCK SOLID HARD! Many times when butter comes out it's straight from the fidge. Not this one! And of course, nearby, there is all an outdoor winter lover wants. We skied at the Nordic Center 6 minutes away and had a dreamy time. Though there are many lovely places in Lake Placid, we plan on returning.
