Favorite Dining Experience
Pull up a chair in our cozy Great Room and make yourself at home — whether you're sharing small plates and cocktails, savoring a seasonal four-course dinner, or ending the night with dessert and a nightcap at the bar. We pour timeless spirits, hand-crafted cocktails, local brews, and wines worth lingering over. Chef William is always crafting a new seasonal menu inspired by the Adirondacks and sourced from nearby farms. Every dish is made from scratch with heart, creativity, and a deep love for good food.
“This is a hidden gem! I can't say enough great things about the dining experience here. We were in town for a quick trip and stumbled on The Stagecoach Inn for a fine dining experience.”

Meet Our Executive Chef: William Darrah

A Saranac Lake native, William has spent over two decades in the kitchen, honing his craft under some of the region’s most respected chefs, including David Cunningham, Christopher Bellanka, Justin Hoyt, and Nicky Berrachough.

“Hands down some of the best food I've ever had. Everything from the unique cocktails, appetizers, entrees, and desserts was truly the best. The chef is an incredibly nice guy and extremely talented. Definitely check this place out when you're in Placid. It's worth it.”
