   The quintessential Adirondack dining experience. The ambience is unmatched by any other restaurant in Lake Placid. The food has always been good, but they had a limited menu. Now they have a more expanded menu and the pricing is a bit more reasonable. Great place to celebrate a special occasion.

   The place was spectabular and worth any trip. Food was OK and service was fine. Parking was a problem till we figured it out. All in all the place was an experience not to be missed

   We had a phenomenal meal at Kanu. We love coming here especially at Christmas time. If I could give ambiance 10 stars I would. Between the two giant fireplaces and the most incredible Christmas tree, the vibes are EVERYTHING. The wait staff was incredibly kind and attentive. Our meal was exceptional - my husband darn near licked his plate clean, and I took a box home to savor for a second time. Everytime we come here we feel like we are in a Hallmark movie. Despite the high ceilings and wood atmosphere, it is very easy to carry on a conversation - normally those types of acoustics make it tough to chat, but it felt perfectly buzzy for a holiday meal, while easy to carry on a conversation together. It was an exceptional meal and we cant wait to come back again!

   We were the first seating for the Thanksgiving buffet and found everything even better than expected; service, food, and atmosphere.

   Our waitress Jess went absolutely above and beyond for us. She was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful and hospitable. The ambiance was homey and romantic and the food was incredible. Thank you for a wonderful honeymoon dinner!

   Totally overpriced and the food wasn't that great at all. $30 for a hamburger and fries so salty you can melt snow. Food definately lacked presentation as well. Ambiance was definately nice and the complimentart breakfast was good but I wont come back again for dinner. Drive 5 minutes into town for better food at a cheaper price.

   This was our second experience at Kanu. The food is very good, but pricey. The ambiance in Whiteface Lodge is spectacular. We sat in front of the roaring fire. Service was prompt and attentive. We both had the trout which was a nice change from the standard Chilean Sea Bass of most restaurants. An excellent dinner.

    We both had wonderful dinners. My wife really enjoyed the shrimp pot pie and I loved the trout. Excellent food and excellent service!
