Campbell<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">A new restaurant on Saratoga Lake, dubbed 550 Waterfront, is slated to open soon at the site of the former Lake Local.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The restaurant was about three years in the making.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Managing partner John Boyle said he expects to receive a certificate of occupancy soon. Upon opening, the restaurant will serve clients curbside, boatside and at its expansive outdoor spaces. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Lake Local was lost to a fire a few years ago. As Boyle and his partners discussed how to rebuild the \u201cclear vision was to have similar cuisine and keep the same vibe as a family oriented restaurant,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The once intimate, approximately 1,000-square-foot structure was rebuilt and now encompasses 7,000 square feet. It sits at the northern tip of Saratoga Lake and has \u201cone of the most beautiful views in Upstate New York,\u201d according to Boyle. \u201c550 Waterfront is the only place where you can see from one end of the lake to the other. There is sun on the patio from sunrise to sunset.\u201d<\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">It was important to Boyle and majority partners Dan Collins of Select Sotheby\u2019s International Realty and Mike Phinney of Phinney Design Group to provide access to the restaurant by water, so 550 Marina was designed with 110 boat slips. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cWe used the highest-end teak wood and galvanized steel for the dock,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">There are also two courtesy docks where people can tie up for food pick-up, especially as the community continues to shelter at home during the coronavirus pandemic, Boyle said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">There are three large fire pits outside, outdoor bars and raised decking so guests can enjoy the views with music and a cocktail, said Boyle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cThere was always a lively bar crowd with reggae music and indoor and outdoor fun,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Phinney designed the interior and outdoor spaces and Trinity Construction was the general contractor. Interiors designed by Ed Rovetto and Claudia Boyle are bright and airy in keeping with the nautical theme.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cWe took an old sailboat, renovated it and hung it from the ceiling,\u201d Boyle said. \u201cThe design makes use of nautical features like ship lap and beautiful lighting, and huge glass garage doors face the lake.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Seafood is featured daily, including lobster and swordfish BLTs. But as in the past, the new restaurant will also serve burgers, hot dogs and pub food, Boyle said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Executive chef Brady Dillon is back and is joined by general manager Corey Melancon. They pair also works together at Taquero Tacos and Donuts at 68 Putnam St. in Saratoga Springs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">A grand re-opening of 550 Waterfront was being planned at presstime.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Susan E.
