Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
The Brown Swan offers picturesque views of Schroon Lake and a relaxing ambiance. Diners appreciate the "great view" and "excellent service," though opinions on food quality vary. Standout dishes include the vegan eggplant and short rib. The staff is friendly, albeit sometimes inexperienced. Overall, it's a charming spot worth revisiting.

    We enjoyed a Christmas Eve dinner at the Brown Swan. The outdoor area around the lodges was beautifully decorated, as well as inside of the restaurant. The service was great and the food was outstanding! Very reasonable prices! Highly recommend!

    We went for the prime rib special. Both parties that got prime rib, the meat was way under cooked. My brother got the pork dish and that was also not done. He had to send it back. The waiter was exceptional and did everything he could under the circumstances.

    Nice mountain resort feel to the restaurant. Service was good and professional. Food was excellent. Pricing a little high, but nice serving sizes to make up for it.

    We dined twice at the Brown Swan during our short stay at Schroon Lake and everything was wonderful! The manager was extremely helpful and professional and made rounds to make sure guests were satisfied with the food and service. The entire staff was friendly, professional and accommodating. This made it a perfect dining experience for us! I would definitely recommend the Brown Swan to anyone looking for a wonderful meal and quality service. We will be coming back!

    Service was very good. Chili inedible and Schnitzel nothing special. Fireplace should be in the dining room not the lounge. Not worth the money. Priced for the guests not the locals who support they need off-season.
    The Brown SwanResponded on November 8, 2024
    Thank you for dining with us and for your feedback. We're glad the service was to your liking and are sorry the dishes didn’t meet your expectations. We’d like to invite you back for our current locals discount night, available Monday through Thursday on our Brown Swan lunch and dinner menus & Tavern bites menu through the end of 2024—your support means a lot to us, especially in the off-season.

    The Brown Swan was very quiet on our arrival for dinner at 600pm. We were seated promptly. The drinks we ordered from the menu were unavailable. But, the manager came out and apologized for the delay and bought us a drink of our choosing for free. My wife loved the trout and I had the Schnitzel. Both were very good and flavorful. Overall, it was an above average experience!!

    Thank you for your feedback! We're so glad you enjoyed the food and appreciate your understanding about the drinks. We look forward to seeing you again!

    Our server, Bri, was courteous and efficient. She took our order without any errors. The food was delicious. Between the four of us, there were two lobster rolls (the wives loved them). I had the burger, and the other was the Ruben. The french fries were delicious and hot.

    Thank you for the great review! We're happy to hear that Bri provided courteous and efficient service and that your group enjoyed the delicious food. It sounds like the lobster rolls, burger, and Reuben were all a hit—along with those hot and tasty fries! We look forward to serving you again soon!
