Beloved Lake George Restaurant Closes Its Doors For Good

For the second time this week, we have lost one of our more heralded Capital Region eateries.

Earlier this week we passed along the sad news that Longfellow's Hotel and Restaurant in Saratoga Springs will be closing in January. And today it is more tough news to relay about a beloved eatery in Lake George. And like Longfellow's, these changes are occurring due to an ownership change.

Like Longfellow's, this latest closure may also come as a surprise to many as this eatery was locally beloved and recently honored with a Tripadvisor Traveler's Choice award according to Notes On Napkins.

There is one major difference with the Lake George closing - while this restaurant has shut down, the resort and wedding venue that it is attached to is staying open.

The View Restaurant In Lake George Closes Permanently

Notes On Napkins is reporting the View Restaurant at Dunham's Bay Resort closed its doors for the final time this past Sunday (October 30th, 2022). A staffer told the local restaurant blog that new owners are taking over the facility with plans to subcontract the attached restaurant. It seems the resort itself will be unaffected by the ownership shift and remains open.
