Food Scene

Probably the best, most interesting restaurant in town. And, certainly one of the most expensive. If you're considering going I strongly suggest a reservation, unless you are willing to sit at the bar. The food and service are always excellent.

A more casual spot featuring wood fired pizza and other signature entrees. The bar is particularly good here. The food is consistently good and it tends to be a hang-out place for locals in their 20s-30s. They also serve a great brunch on weekends.

If you're looking to get out of town this is an old-school French restaurant about 15 mins from downtown. You'll feel like it is 1975 when you walk in. Food is authentic French food, but can be boring and uninspired.

New restaurant right on Saratoga Lake. Food is excellent and the view is spectacular. Can be crowded and they don't accept reservations. So, be prepared to wait. But, the good news is there is a wonderful lawn and beach area to hang out on while you're waiting for a table! They also have live music on weekends. Child-friendly.

Absolutely amazing selection of single malt scotch and bourbon. Cocktails are great. They don't serve food and it can be crowded and noisy on weekend nights - especially during the summer. But, it is worth going to due to its notoriety. They have live jazz on Friday and Saturday nights year-round (9 pm to 1 am).
