About

Restaurant
We focus on fresh local ingredients whenever possible. My chef is very creative and besides having a unique menu we also have daily surprises, called specials. We also have "small plates" in case you just need a nibble. ​Enjoy one of our locally crafted cocktails like a grapefruit infused cosmopolitan or one of my favorites, a fat tire beer.

    I'm so happy that North Conway has a cool late night space with live music on some nights. I was there yesterday, Sunday Nov 2. Attentive service by Delia, who makes a great cocktail that actually has alcohol in it. So often, drinks are water downed. I was also happy they had a rather nice late night menu as I had just gotten off work. I really enjoyed the Chicken Piccata, although it was a little astringent because of the excessive garlic, and I'm Latin, so I was raised with lots of garlic, probably since I was breastfeeding (LOL). Reduce the garlic by 50% and it would be perfect. My partner enjoyed his Turkey sandwich and the Sip of Sunshine IPA, which was wonderful. Can't wait to return perhaps on a Saturday when they might have live music.

    A really nice place. Excellent service. And the food was good. We shared the chorizo queso dip, very good. My wife had the burger, excellent. Our daughter had the Gnocchi alla vodka sauce, also excellent. I had the chicken wraps, only fair. There was to much spicy mustard on them for my taste

    The food was okay. Nothing to complain about and nothing to rave about. The experience and service were poor to say the least. I dined there last weekend. I walked into the restaurant with my daughter and expected a wait because it was busy. The hostess told me 30 mins so I put my name down and walked around town for a while. When I returned after 25 mins or so, I walked in to ask the hostess how much longer I had and she acted like shes never seen me before... then glances at a paper and carelessly says 20 mins. Okay, no problem. I go sit out side with my daughter and wait some more. I keep seeing ppl walk in and be seated and I see open tables. So eventually I walk in and stand inside and the hostess looks at me and asks me if I had a question. "My table, im waiting to be seated"..... she then pulls 2 menus out and seats me at 1 of the 2 visibly available tables. I was irritated that I had to be in front of her to be called. I was seated and the waitress was friendly and took our order. Then she disappeared and literally NEVER checked on us again. Again they were busy so excuses were made..... its not until my 12 year old daughter asked why the other tables that came after us are getting their food and whats taking so long. I told her its probably because we order something that takes longer, but i was visibly also getting upset. She mentioend that "something feels fishy" and THAT truly made me upset. I dont know if its because we were the only ppl of color in the restaurant or because they just have bad service in general or because they just didnt like the color of my shirt, but something did "feel fishy" and I didnt like it. Eventually I got the attention of another server and asked her to get my waitress bc its been too long. And she magically appeared with our food. We ate, it was okay and I left as soon as I paid. It killed me to not leave a tip, but I couldnt let my daughter see that its ok to be treated like that. I will never be returning. Do better.
