SJ GARCIA'S RESTAURANT
The Lowdown
SJ Garcia's is a nice family option during the busy summer season in Lake George for food and a nice relaxing atmosphere. The place serves up some great food and the deck serves up a beautiful view overlooking the lake. Relazing and refreshing.
Connected to Christie's On the Lake, its easy to locate from the boats or the main strip.
The Service

The Scene
A famil orientated place. But they do serve some seriously great margaritas and have a nice menu for drinks.

Or simply bring the kids by for some great food and a friendly atmosphere.
