We were on our honeymoon in Lake Placid for a week and this was by far our favorite restaurant on the trip. Food was INCREDIBLE and the service was outstanding. Brian was our server and he was so kind and attentive. He made our meal so special and it was an amazing experience overall. Thank you!!

The food was delicious, both app's and entrees. The server was excellent, but the place was packed and the kitchen may have been a bit overwhelmed. It took a while for our entrees to arrive.

We went to Jimmy's 21 while visiting Lake Placid (as we always do) and are pleased to say that it remains a great value, with superior food, a terrific lake view, and outstanding service. We ordered the chicken cacciatore and the seafood medley (scallops, shrimp and salmon) and were completely satisfied, The entrees were served HOT, and the flavor and presentation were top-notch. Kudos to the wait-staff; our host ensured that our wait for a table with a lake view was brief (our choice), the table service was friendly and efficient, and attention to check on possible needs or wants was continuous but never intrusive. And we were thanked upon our departure, which doesn't happen everywhere. No doubt we will visit again on our next visit, and we recommend it highly to all visitors to L.P.!

We love Jimmy’s and always have a great meal! My only complaint was that the table next to us had a woman who was very loud and swearing a lot about her daughter in law. It was uncomfortable but not the restaurant’s fault!

Everything from the restaurants side of things was Terrific. I had made reservations so there was no wait. The waiters came to us very shortly for drinks. The hot Bread with olive oil and garlic was phenomenal and the refill was quick. The food was a 10. From the start with appetizers and salads everything was fresh and tasted great. Our main course was also delicious I had the rack of lamb which was seasoned and cooked perfectly, and my wife had the salmon which she said was the best of her life. She could not stop raving about it. We ordered 4 deserts for the 2 of us and they were all delicious. We will definitely be back again and again.
