Oooo, definitely a great place for a superb full dinner, or a quicker pub dinner or snack! Our St Louis Kiddos & Family love taking their Christmas Card photos here.... the view is amazing and the history is quite interesting

We had my son’s rehearsal dinner at Melody Lodge and everything was spectacular!!! The food was absolutely delicious, Chef William is amazing!!! I wish I could post a picture of the antipasto bar! The service was wonderful, everyone so sweet and accommodating to our large group!!! We cannot thank Elizabeth, Lizzie, and Chef William enough for making our evening so special ❤️

I have been coming up to Speculator for 30 years ( I am 4 generation)! Speculator is a true hidden gem in the beautiful Adirondack mountains! Melody Lodge was my FAVORITE restaurant to go to and I would always look forward to dining at this restaurant when I was up there. Until a series of very unfortunate events occurred this past weekend. Our entire immediate family was up for the weekend for a memorial of my grandfather who had passed and LOVED his place in speculator. We had arranged this dinner May 5 and have been in contact to assure things run smoothly for this. Upon arrival we were greeted very kindly by our waitress. We all were seated, placed our orders and that’s when everything went south. Our waitress came out telling us they didn’t have enough food for what we were allowed to order. Please keep in mind we had email the owners our orders MONTHS in advance. We had asked to speak to the manager and to our surprise our waitress Liz said I am the manger, when we asked what we can do to resolve this and she said “I really don’t know” now as some of us get our drinks we had found a hair in one of them, we kindly sent it back ( and it wasn’t just hair floating in the drink it was wrapped in the garnish) this has been 30 minutes and they are still trying to “figure out” how to have us order, as they send out our salads which was complete chaos cause they didn’t know where or who ordered what so everyone got the wrong order, with this all occurring the owners husbands came out extremely inappropriate with the chief yelling at us saying “ look he has no hair “ … then accused us of purposely putting the hairs in our drinks and salad… the hairs found didn’t NOT match the people who received it. As frustration is building and our family member who asked if the staff in the kitchen are wearing hair nets and complying with the department of health no answer was given and another person of our party ( who was leaving now ) hears our waitress ( the manager) come out into the lobby and say “ I am going to punch this guy in his face” At this point it is complete chaos the owners husband who us and other customers have seen outside drinking comes in screaming at us, saying he doesn’t know what to and that we should have ordered off the menu (which we asked earlier to do but because of our party we weren’t allowed too) so we decided to leave. As our party is exiting the restaurant the owner and apparently “his son” are still talking down to us now yelling to leave which we decided that before threaten to call the sheriff on us. Moral of this long review, I am sorry melody I don’t see you in business in much longer, completely unprofessional, rude, unorganized. Our family was verbal abused and threatened. So upset with this

My cocktail was poorly mixed. The appetizer was mediocre at best. The bread was burnt and so hard it cut the roof of my mouth. My soup was okay, peppery chowder, it was a small portion. The two sides for my meal were not good, soggy veg and rubber rice. Both with little flavor. The main course was slightly over cooked with unappetizing mustard crust and low quality jelly. We did not stay for the unimpressive dessert offering. Two of the three staff members we met were mildly unprofessional, including the chef. Tina was a delight.
