Restaurants

Except for the restaurants in the resorts (Hilton, Mirror Lake Inn, et.al.), all the restaurants in the Adirondack Park area are informal, even if serving upscale food.

The Hungry Trout – near Wilmington; (518) 946-2217 - up-scale, I’ve enjoyed the trout (of course) don’t forget to try the McDougall’s Irish Pub downstairs for lighter fare (restaurant menu also available), sometimes they have live music.
