Lake George

Going biking and rafting in North River, near Lake George. Any suggestions for a dinner place, casual bar to moderately upscale. Ambiance and views a big plus. Much thanks.

Lake George is like a desert for foodies. Since you mention upscale, you might try some of the restaurants at The Sagamore. You can also take a dinner cruise. It won't be great food, but the views are great.

what is it about areas like that? freeport, ny not far from jones beach is like that. someone with a real chef could do so well but everyone settles for what's there because of loaction, location, location, near the water.

Agree with eatermom re: desert. Been to The Sagamore and The Inn at Erlowest (right after Dale Miller left).

You might want to try The Farmhouse (mentioned in these threads):
