My close friend and I just finished dinner here. We had deviled eggs with smoked salmon roe and everything bagel spice, duck aroncini, home made gnocchi with lemon cream, and crispy duck with black garlic aioli and razor thin spring carrots. We sat at the bar as was reserved for us. Julian, the bartender, was super attentive and carried a wonderful demeanor. The food, hospitality, drinks, and service were impeccable. Highly recommend and can't wait till our next visit.
The pavilion is a breath of fresh air for a sleepy town. Higher end food brought by a top chef contestant. Don’t hesitate to sit at the bar either, the service and bar tender are just as great as the normal wait staff.The Chef brings in a lot of unique flavors and textures to his meals. I Highly recommend splitting a few small plates and one entree. While we didn’t have room for deserts, but they sure looked tempting.The environment keeps you looking around for hidden gems everywhere. It has a newly refurbished rustic feel to the restaurant.We spent around $160 for 3 people with drinks.

What an amazing place to enjoy a great meal while being surrounded by a warm and eclectic beautiful atmosphere complete with fireplace bar and historic ambiance in the heart of historic Wolfeboro.

Incredible food and service! Brought our friend out for a birthday dinner and it was perfect. The scallops were amazing and the crème brûlée is the best we have ever had. The atmosphere is an added bonus. Will definitely be returning soon!

An excellent dining experience. Probably the best autumn-inspired meals we’ve ever had. The root vegetable bisque was delectable, and a pork loin rubbed with cumin, coriander and served with a farro-like grain and orange sauce was outstanding. Though I couldn’t claim the Tagliatelle Bolognese as the best ever, it still easily ranked in the top 3. Dinner was capped by a decadent banana semifreddo. Our server, Shannon, was knowledgeable and attentive. Looking forward to returning!

I wish there was an option for 10 Stars. This place is one of a kind, cozy, welcoming and the food exceptionally good. The NY sirloin, octopus and tagliatelle bolognese were 10/10.Worth coming back.

Lovely setting. Shannon was our server and knowledgeable on the details of the meal and even the drinks; her recommendations were spot on. Meals were delicious, as were the appetizers. I also enjoyed the cocktails as they were creative (infusions and complex drings) made by a master bartender. This restaurant will join our list for regular visits.

Great food. Bolognese was homemade and very very good (definitely tastier and bigger meat chunks than your traditional bolognese).Crispy chicken was really good and juicy. Vegetables were very good as well.

Very good, creative food. In a town with a lot of pizza and burgers, a bit of fine dining is welcome, dining room is informal, but comfortable, service friendly, but professional. Menu somewhat limited, but food is fresh, well-prepared, sauced beautifully, and excellent. Bar area has a fireplace, and is set up for dining,

Very disappointing. There were four of us and we spent $375 for nothing.The first thing when you arrive, they try to upsell you all kinds of fancy water fancy. This is Wolfeboro New Hampshire not New York City.My friend ordered a side order of beats. It was $14.00. If you want bread, they were charging for three pieces for $7 that is a real joke especially when you pay so much money.My wife had pasta and sauce it was the smallest portion. $36 for pasta ! The food was nothing special. I had the crispy chicken I had four little pieces of chicken cold and tough.I could go on and on but my advice to anybody is to skip this restaurant and spend your money somewhere else.Parking: Parking on the street only we had to park down towards the Boat docks.
My wife and I went to this restaurant and some friends. My friend ordered a side plate of beats for $15.00, what a joke. His wife ordered Mashed potato for $14.00 it was just a couple of pieces of potato crazy. My wife ordered a pasta dish with tomatoes. It was the smallest serving I have ever seen for $36. I hate to say it we've had better food at the Olive Garden. To try to be something whose charges three dinner rolls for $7.00. I don't mind paying for a good meal by the time we left we spent $375 when I get home my wife was still hungry. Recommendation if you are looking for honest meal with fair pricing this is not the place. You know the national standard for a restaurant to stay in business is less than a year I feel this is going to be one of them.

Keep on driving ...don't stop here, run! This place is a restaurant rip-off. Not worth the money, overpriced and trying to be upscale so much that they don't even give you bread unless you pay for it. Who does that? Pushy from the beginning trying to upsell you on even water. Place is very dimly lit probably so you can't read the menu clearly. Spent well over $350 before the tip and left hungry. Would not recommend this place.

They are trying too hard - over complicated dishes and the service was rushed. It's a very well appointed space, but unfortunately the food was a disappointment. Great wine list.
Casey Heyman
Fantastic. Friendly atmosphere and great food. I read another review that said it’s a “brewery” atmosphere. That’s ridiculous. Service was great, I got the NY Strip with mushroom and chimichurri sauce. My wife got the scallops. Everything cooked beautifully, desert was delicious. Thank you for another great spot in the lakes region.

Meh. We've spent our September anniversary here three years running and there will not be a fourth. Had guests with us this time and I was actually embarrassed. Food was lukewarm and not particularly flavorful. Portions are very very small. Prices are very very high. Scallops for $52? Pasta for $34? Risotto for $32? I'm very willing to pay for great food but this was not great. Atmosphere is ok if a bit plain and uninteresting. Service is lovely and professional.
