Nick Stoner Inn Seafood & Steakhouse/Special event Venue - (Near Caroga Lake, NY)

5 /5 Garrett Lee: I had work in town which is how I found the place while searching for lodging. The room was perfect. Comfortable bed. The owners are very friendly and generous. I ate at the restaurant one of the nights. The food was awesome ( I got the veggie past dish). I’ll be back!

5 /5 Paula Bre: We went to Nick Stoner’s for our anniversary, and it exceeded our expectations. The service, the decor, and especially the food were simply outstanding! I travel a lot all, both domestically and internationally, and I can honestly say this was one of the best meals I’ve ever had. My husband and I both ordered different surf and turf dishes, and both the steak and the seafood (for both of us) were cooked and seasoned perfectly. The portions are huge, my meal will feed me three times, and my husband twice. This place is definitely worth the trip!

1 /5 Robert Sylvester: I’ve been looking forward to dining here for some time. Last minute trip for the kid and buddy at Wheelerville so this was perfect timing. I’m sure people will trash my review, but here it is. I should’ve read reviews on Trip Advisor and not just the great pics on their Facebook page. Called at 3:08 Friday 9/5 and said they couldn’t do a 5:30 for same night but they could do a 4:30. We said we could be there at 4:45 due to travel and they said OK, we arrived at 4:56. A couple people at the bar. Got looks from a few girls that worked there. Finally was asked if we had a reservation and seated. Water (with melted ice) was waiting at the table. Seven minutes later our waitress came and asked us if we wanted drinks. Ordered a draft ale for me and wife stuck with water. Waitress returns to tell me the keg is empty. Stuff happens. Ordered the goto, Fiddlehead IPA. Somewhat flat and warmer than most drafts I have had elsewhere. She dropped off the drinks and finally returned 12 minutes later to ask if we wanted to order apps. I told her we wanted to order everything now (knowing the tempo/timing was going to be off). Shrimp, crab, and corn chowder 0/10. I never send food back. This was so salty. Looked good, thick and chunky. But couldn’t get past the saltiness. Had my wife try it. She agreed too salty so I asked to return it and take off the bill. Waitress brought it back to the table and said “they added something to make it less salty.” as she went to set it down it was sloshing all over, you could tell they watered it down. So basically they took half the nice chunky, thick seafood out, and she told me they added a bunch of heavy cream to cut the salt. It was still too salty. Told her to take it back and we were done with it. Shared - Scallops with bacon. 8/10 Salad 8/10. Waiter told us salad is family style with balsamic house dressing. Nope. Definitely creamy Caesar. Was good though. Me - special - Salmon stuffed with crab and shrimp (no prices listed) 1/10 and loaded baked potato 5/10. Stuffing was liquified mush. Salmon was slimy and soft inside. The part on the hot plate and outside was fine so I ate that. Left it all there. Mine was served and we waited another five minutes for my potato and my wife’s dish to finally arrive. Wife - special - (no prices listed) Filet 5/10 with blackened shrimp (very salty) 2/10 and Alfredo sauce pasta 6/10. Tempo: 2/10 Food: 2/10 Service: 4/10 IPA: 5/10 Worst. Meal. Ever. $265 with tip and only one drink! Never again. Now I read reviews on other pages and I could’ve saved the time and money. And for anyone asking why I didn’t speak with the owner or manager, after sending my chowder back twice, wouldn’t you think they would have been informed and make a table side visit? They didn’t. Tells me all I need to know about how it is run. I know the locals love it. They can keep it.

5 /5 Linda Werner: 15 stars!! Five for the food, Five for the staff and Five for our beautiful room!! My husband and I celebrated our anniversary with a filet mignon/lobster tail dinner! Amazing! Steak was delicious and done to perfection! Its a family run business and everyone on staff was checking on us to make sure we were happy - and we were! We headed up to our room, which was thoughtfully decorated for our anniversary! And in the morning, we were treated to a lovely continental breakfast. We will most definitely be visiting again!!
