Food Scene
Fish @ 30 Lake
30 Lake AveExcellent seafood but a good menu all around and a great atmosphere.
Harvest & Hearth
251 Co Rd 67Great pizza and salads if you're spending time at the lake.
Possibly Saratogas most popular spot. Try a bagel and the cookies but expect to stand in line (worth it). If you can find a seat here, its great to relax and read a book or play a game. You'll likely be surrounded by many students studying or others doing the same.

Classy wine bar, great small plates. They serve dinner as well but I find the portions to be on the smaller side. Enjoy a cigar in their smoking room if you'd like.

Where almost everyone goes after the track for live music. Expect very rowdy crowds (not family friendly). Great to celebrate a big win with your friends. They also sell some street food here if you missed dinner.

Speakeasy style bar with upscale atmosphere which makes it hard to get into - they don't allow standing around the bar so you have to wait for a seat. VERY good drinks that are unique and really good food. Can be a bit pricy, not great for kids. Great for a cocktail and a snack with a date.
