Great little spot! The menu is small and features German cuisine. The food is delicious, the service is good, the beer and drink list is extensive, and the interior is cozy. They also offer live music in the Yurt. Stop by and check it out.

This is truly a family favorite. My daughter and I once went in for lunch and dinner on the same day! Great burgers, salads, sandwiches offered up in a beautiful old victorian building with oodles of charm. The service is fantastic and the owner is often there to keep everything running smoothly. They serve up great sundaes at the bar or grab a table or booth, the whole family will love it.

What this place lacks in atmosphere it makes up for with great service and food at very reasonable prices. We go for breakfast and are never disappointed.

Located in the quiet hamlet of Olmstedville, NY, The Owl at Twilight brings approachable fine cuisine to the Adirondack Mountains of New York. The menu, while focusing mostly on Latin American Cuisine, blends many flavors and regions. Enjoy dinner in the comfortable dining room next to the fireplace or outside in our lovely screened in porch. The quaint bar is perfect too for an after dinner drink or some appetizers. Love dining in their screened in porch overlooking their organic gardens.

Hike, float and/or climb and experience one of the oldest natural attractions in the United States (Est. 1870). Immerse yourself in a primeval Adirondack forest as you stroll past Rainbow Falls, Elephant's Head, Column Rock, Hyde's Cave and the eerie quiet of Mystic Gorge. Descend hundreds of feet to walk on natural stone walkways and gaze upon eons of geologic history etched in stone.
