We’re staying at the Golden Arrow for the second time and love having Generations next door. Great food, the pancha billa nachos are amazing. Their boneless wings are probably the best we’ve had at a restaurant. Had the Eggs Adirondack for breakfast and loved it (although I think it’s much better without the rosemary-tomato jam, just not my taste!) Lots of options and reasonable prices!
Lindsay, one of the restaurant attendants (I am so sorry if I misspelled your name!!) is attentive, polite, friendly, and is an overall improvement to the general atmosphere! Which, by the way, feels like home every time I'm there! The food was delicious, the wait time was not long at all, especially for a holiday! (Happy Thanksgiving 2022!!!) I had the Firetower pretzel with cheese sauce, and went with the carved turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce and baby carrots, and the pumpkin pie for dinner. Everything was great! Definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area!
For a hotel restaurant it has excellent food. Very flavorful, hearty, and locally used ingredients. You can taste the freshness in every dish. Got the buffalo dip which was very filling in itself. Had a great mix of savory and spice with a the aioli sauce on top. The kettle chips that came with the dip were freshly cut and had a nice seasoning. The French onion soup had a great ratio of cheese to onion and the Ruben sandwich was hands down the best sandwich I have ever tried. Their unique blend with the crust was what made the sandwich. It has a mix of cloves of roasted garlic , whole grain mustard and butter blended in. The deli meats were perfectly seasoned and portioned within the sandwich. The fries were also a standout with a thick cut potato that was soft on the inside but very crunchy on the outside.
Generations Tap & Grill is an excellent option for classic American food in downtown Lake Placid! If you’re strolling around the city and get hungry, this should be one of the first restaurants you check out, as there is a great selection of starters, soups, salads, sandwiches, other main dishes, and basically something for everyone. When we visited, we got a couple of “Cascade Caesar” salads, one with seared salmon and the other with shrimp - both were great, and a great amount of salmon on the one salad! We also got the “Blackstone Reuben”, which ended up being one of the best Reuben sandwiches we’ve ever had! I can only imagine how good their other sandwiches and burgers are if they’re on par with the Reuben. And, the atmosphere was great and service was really good as well! All positives, pretty much no negatives - moral of the story is you should check this place out next time you’re in the city!

We’ve had the absolute pleasure of working with Natasha and the Generations team over the past two years. They seamlessly hosted our wedding group dinner, wedding welcome happy hour, and wedding farewell brunch. Our friends and family are still talking about the food and drinks from all three events. We highly highly recommend this entire team over and over. Seriously book them for your next event!!
