Frommer's Review
Like the Mirror Lake Inn to which it's attached, this restaurant (formerly the Averil Conwell Dining Room) is upscale, traditional, classic, and unfailingly excellent. The change from black-tie servers to a more casually attired staff better reflects the lake view out the picture windows. However, the less formal atmosphere doesn't mean a more casual kitchen -- if anything, the food has improved with a change in chefs. With the spa just downstairs, a whole section of the menu is devoted to spa dining -- healthy items like five-spice tofu with Oriental noodles. This is fine, but to really experience the cuisine, dig into the meat such as venison loin or filet mignon, which are fall-off-the-bone tender. You'll also find an excellent wine list.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
