Reviews for The Gem in Bolton Landing, NY
Really good BBQ. I had the brisket sandwich with potato salad and my wife had the pork with artichokes. A nice selection of... homemade sauces to choose from as well. The cocktail was good but definitely a little on the pricier side. 15 bucks for amargarita that was only about 2-3 ounces. The attached photo is how it came, that’s not a pint glass, it’s a tumbler.Overall a great experience though and we will be back. Read more
Epic cool vibe; high end cocktails and ingredients right down to the carved ice; incredible smokehouse set up right in the back;... things for kids outback; delicious meat and veggie lover foods!! I don’t think Bolton knows what moved in because it’s afoodie level high rate establishment!??\n\nAdditional Edit:\n\nI ate there again, wanting to show the place off to friends..afamily came in and sat by the front door. Their baby came in with a lollipop and no one in the family had noticed the child waschoking. A waitress came over and gave the child the Heimlich Maneuver and stopped the choking!! I can’t make this stuff up!This place is becoming my Bolton Go-To! Read more
We can’t get enough of this place! Delicious, high end, craft cocktails, incredible BBQ, very warm & welcoming atmosphere,... great outdoor space that includes a fire pit, corn hole & is dog friendly! I have to recommend the Gold Rush, Mai Tai & GinFizz. Even their Espresso Martini was off the charts if you need a pick me up after a long day on the lake. Both the brisket &the ribs are divine and I may be slightly obsessed with the potato salad! Needless to say go here first, because you’re goingto want to go here more than once! Read more
A new restaurant in the town of Bolton Landing which presents a nice alternative to the other restaurants in town as a genuine,... simple BBQ spot. It is walkable if you are staying at the sagamore, located at the intersection where you make the turn ontothe property.\nThey just opened at the end of June and I don’t think they were prepared for the crowds over the 4th of Julyweek. The night we went for dinner, we arrived with a reservation at 8 and they were out of brisket, ribs and chicken….so ouronly options were the pork and the brats. Based on the limited selection, it’s hard to offer a review of the food. The porkwas good, and the sides were good as well. We just wish we had more options. The food came out within minutes…after maybeonly 1-2 sips of my beer, so it can feel like they are just trying to churn and turn tables as fast as possible. We spent sometime in the Adirondack chairs around the solo stove fire after our meal; this was a nice option after the quick meal.\nOverall,some minor teething issues in the first weeks for the restaurant and during the busiest Will of the year in lake George. Butthis spot will adapt and I’m sure be here for many years. Read more
Excellent BBQ , incredible drinks and the service was very good. My only recommendation would be to add a Mac And cheese to the... menu. This would address the lack of options for the littles. Read more
If you love barbecue, this is your place. We had ribs, brisket and chicken. All were very moist and tasted great. They provide... different sauces to use. Sides were also good. Great bar with a huge drink selection and several beers on tap. Service was veryattentive. A great addition to Bolton Landing. Read more
The name speaks for itself! So happy to have this new \"gem\" in town! Absolutely delicious barbecue food, an inspired cocktail... menu, the coziest chic decor that weirdly makes me excited for winter (maybe it\'s the beautiful fireplace!?), and a superfriendly excited staff. The owners clearly know what they are doing. Couldn\'t ask for a better place to open on our block!Thank you for being here! Read more
Small restaurant/bar has a great vibe and welcoming feel. The drinks were incredible. The food was very good and service was... excellent. They were attentive but not hovering. Nice relaxing time. Reservations usually needed as it is very popular. The menuis very limited though, a couple more choices would have been nice, and the brisket was little to dry but tasty. All other foodwas excellent. The wings were some of the best i ever had. Get then naked and add the sauces at the table. Greatexperience.Highly recommend. Read more
