Hi John and Colleen, March 1, 2007
My name is Suzanne and I am a transplant from Williamsburg, Virginia.
I've been up here in Massena NY for about 2 years now and have gone way
past withdrawls for good quality food...especially seafood!!! I read
your restaurant review this past weekend in the Watertown Times and I
cannot wait to get to Saranac Lake to check you guys out. I was hoping
to get out there this weekend but I'm afraid a snow and ice storm
looms.....bummer. I am looking forward to good ol' oyster stew, fried
oysters, crab cakes, gyros (pronounced yeeero), brisket, miso
broth....YUMMMM!!! I want one of everything! Hope to meet you guys
soon....take care.
Sincerely,
Suzanne Bayorgeon

The visit to your "Little Wonder" in Saranac Lake on Thursday, March 15th, made us two for two ... we were there at the Winter Carnival Weekend and now twice we have come away with smiles and happy stomachs!
It is so refreshing to find such culinary delights available without having to mortgage the house to enjoy. It is so worth the trip to drive from Massena!
I see a letter from "Suzanne - transplanted from Virginia" and can only tell her to make the trip! We were in the Maryland Bay Area - me for 27 years - my wife forever - before I transfered to Massena and "Eat-N-Meet" is the only place we have found that has any idea of how to do a Maryland Crab cake.
We will be back whenever we are in the area ...
Thanks for everything.

Jill and I moved to Saranac Lake just about a year ago. During our nightly walks with our dog Bailey, we noticed your family hard at work on the Eat N' Meet Grill. To be honest, what I remember most clearly from those busy days was your Elvis statue that never failed to land smiles on our curious faces. Other than good taste in music, we had no idea what to expect!
What we've discovered is a hearty menu filled with new tastes and experiences within walking distance of our home. I travel quite a bit for work and have eaten all over the country. As you know, everyone has his or her "special spot" they want to take you to--their own "best kept secret" closely guarded by area locals. I have eaten at many of these during my travels. I have to come home to experience the creativity and goodness of Eat N' Meet, my own "special spot" tucked away in the mountains. When relatives and friends visit, dinner at Eat N' Meet is a given, our own "special spot" that never disappoints!
My favorite Eat N' Meet meal at the moment has to be the goat curry stew and a fresh Arugula salad. Jill is partial to the from-scratch veggie burgers with a sweet side of plantains for dessert. We're both still exploring the menu, giddy with the discovery of future favorites. We do have one complaint. Every time "The King's" crooning catches our ears, our mouths start to water for some Eat N' Meet goodness...we forgive you!

Dear John & Colleen, May 1, 2007
Unfortunately as you were opening up last summer, my girlfriend and I were
packing up our things and heading out to college. Through a friend we had
heard that the food was great, but couldn't manage to get in before we
left. On our visits home throughout the school year we wanted to stop in,
but could never find the time. A couple weeks ago we got into town and
thought about a few places to go out to dinner. We then thought about your
restaurant and decided to give it a try. We had seen the menu online and
already knew what we were going to order.
While traveling in Jamaica last summer we tried a dish that was new to us.
This dish was Jerked Chicken and it was cooked at all the huts, shacks,
and restaurants all over the Island. We came back and tried making it at
home, but had mixed results. We also tried it a few other restaurants, but
still no winners. Nothing was as good as the original. This is where you
come in. We had seen your menu online and were very excited to try your
Jerked Chicken. We were overly impressed with our meal. It was as good as
any place in Jamaica, if not better. We have been back twice since our
first trip and have thoroughly enjoyed all of our meals. We look forward
to coming home in late May and trying different menu items throughout the
summer. What a great place to eat!!! See you soon.

As you know, Ed and I are regulars, and we regularly brag about you to all our friends and acquaintances. We've had many meals in Montreal, in some of the finest restaurants, and had despaired of finding really good food in the Tri-Lakes -- until you guys opened up. Without question, you have the best food around, and at very reasonable prices. We love the variety and stop in several times a week. Why cook when you have the talent, the imagination, the exotic ingredients -- all that it takes to produce fabulous eats?
Tonight's tilapia with wild oyster mushroom soy butter was exquisite. I thought I had died and gone to heaven!

HI; February 1, 2008
We visited Saranac Lake this past summer. Our daughter was 4 years old and is considered a great eater and is quite patient. So, we visited. We were blown away by the wonderful meal. Yes we had to wait but it was worth it. Our daughter got a kick out of the Elvis statue and walked around the mini putt course.
Thank you for a great meal. We mention it whenever we hear someone is heading in your direction and even if they aren't heading in that direction, it's still worth talking about the meal.
Regards, -Jackie

We just finished our dinner of escargot (Shelia did share 1 escargot with me!) and kielbasa and hush puppies , and bread pudding, and flan. Absolutely fantastic! This is the 2nd time that we drove the 50 miles each JUST to go to your restaurant. (Thanks to the Watertown Times article by Wally Siebel)
Thanks for creating a restaurant that is just perfect!

I can’t explain how excited Claire is and I am to have our locally grown beef on your menu.
What you are doing for our community is astonishing and magnanimous. You are actually helping small farmers and producers of the NYS region make a living and “partnering” with us by showcasing our web sites and names on your menus.
Because of your interest and utilization of our product we have received phone calls and feedback that inspire us daily to continue with our challenging farming enterprise.
Your “socially responsible” practices and EXCELLENT preparation of product make your Grill and Larder stand out as a leader in unique and local dining experiences within the blue line!

We were directed to eat at Eat 'n Meet from the book store around the corner. She told us that the food was wonderful, so we tried it. My stepson got the trout and he was thrilled, hubby got the perogies and was ecstatic, and I ordered the corned beef w/sauerkraut and I was in heaven. The food was definitely worth the wait, well worth it. There was a lot of food and the two gentlemen making the food were so friendly. I give all the forks I have for this restaurant. I will eat here again next summer....keep up the great food...
Much success!!!! Debbie
