The Hitching Post — Restaurant in Town of Lake Luzerne

The new owners kept the basic decor I remember from when a teenager, but the offerings are new. My sister and I had dinner and it was great. I had the steak medallions which may have been filet since they were so tender and perfectly cooked. She had the maple glazed short ribs which were also tasty. the sides- garlic mashies and roasted root veggies were good and the poratoes were a large serving. They have a simply lovely cheese and relish board on which they were highlighting their award winning Adiron-Jack cheese- I bought a round to take home along with a jar if Quince and cranberry jam. With all the pre dinner goodies we only ate half the meal there! The server Elvin(sp?) was very attentive, kept our water carafe full, brought us a cheese sampling when he felt our dinner was taking too long and brought the dessert menu without being asked. Unfortunately the dessert we wanted they were out of, but there will be a next time.... there is a full bar and the gift shop has all kinds of yummy cheese, toppings, condiments and even meats from Oscar's smokehouse. No...

They wouldn’t let us sit in the dining area even though we made reservations well in advance. The menu was pub food. Nothing like a dinner at all. What we ended up ordering was ok, it’s not at all a dinner. sandwich or burger or salad. Someone said they were better than a couple years ago but not at all. Only beer which they had a great selection and horrible wine that nobody would like compared with their great cheese. Who picks their wine???? Obviously knows nothing about wine. Cheap $10 wine for $52 bucks. Undrinkable. Rude hostesses. I really didn’t want to go back there but someone said the food was better than before, but he was just a heavy beer drinker. Like that was a good litmus test. lol. Probably the worst restaurant in 50 miles...

My husband and I went here specifically to try the cheese board and we were able to add on additional cheeses samples to be able to taste as many as we could. I was incredibly blown away by how well curated the selection of cheeses and pairings. We had a really great time finding favorite pairings of cheeses with different toppings. You should really try the lavender and honey cheese on a baguette with a slice of strawberry and some honey drizzled on top. We wound up taking our leftovers home and went to their gift shop to buy some additional supplies to have a picnic for the next day. I highly recommend trying that if you can't finish it all in one sitting. What a wonderful time with very friendly and...
