    The restaurant had a great atmosphere, serves was excellent , food was good, not great. No bread at table is poor & always turns me off. You can pay $12 for rolls which is ridiculous. But overall it was a good night.

    My husband and I were celebrating our 5th Anniversary this weekend in Lake Placid. We stayed at the Whiteface Mountain Lodge and we had our Anniversary dinner at Kanu. The food, the service, the atmosphere was all top notch.

    Service was terrible, dining room was cold, and my dinner arrived cold. It took us close to an hour and a half to get our dinner ( only five tables filled in restaurant). Don’t recommend… but if you go, eat in bar space; warmer, livelier.

    Wait staff attentive and quick. Menu had a good variety and the food was outstanding. A nice pause between courses, no rushing here, just a relaxing way to enjoy a winter evening. Snowing outside, fireplaces blazing inside, decor screaming “you’re in the Adirondacks.” It was perfection for us. Thank you.

    Outstanding food and service, very expensive and I don’t like paying for reservation slot. But, I am craving my chicken, frisée salad and Brussels sprouts so I would end in saying Kanu is worth the money, especially if you’re dreaming of your dinner the next day!!!!!

    I was a little skeptical based on previous reviews about dining here. We had eaten a few times at Peak 47 and the food was very good so knowing it was the same kitchen decided to keep the reservation. The dinner was excellent, service attentive and pleasant and the room is stunning, especially on a cold winter night with the fires going.
