This Restaurant belongs to the category of American restaurant.
Hostess blatantly ignored us for 5 minutes, no one else waiting in front of us while she just rearranged the menus, before resigning herself to actually doing her job and seating us. It was maybe 65 degrees outside and they were blasting …
Took my elderly parents for a nice meal while on our vacation to what we thought was a very nice restaurant. As soon as we went to be seated my father asked if we could sit by the window as there were 4-5 empty tables and the hostess said no those tables are for reservations. Only one table was occupied during the 2 hours we were there. The wrong dinner entree for one of us came and had to be returned & by the time it was corrected the two others had completed their meals. No complimentary coffee's or drinks were mentioned even though we were not able to have our meals together at the same time. Manager and server apologized and were nice but, we really should have been comped for something as from the time we were seated until the time we left it wasn't a very good experience. Food was okay, but not as good as we were expecting ( way too much peppercorn!!) . Was too bad as this was our vacation and we were excited for a night out to a nice restaurant for a pleasant meal.
Was looking forward to a lovely meal here. The boat house atmosphere looked intriguing.The caesar salad was very good with garlicky croutons. I ordered the fried chicken and waffles for my entree. When it came out I was surprised that the single piece of fried chicken ( $20.00) was literally the size of a flat deck of cards. When I cut into it , the chicken had apparently “flown the coop”. There was maybe 2 oz of chicken and a whole lot of fried batter. I complained to our waitress who said she would tell “them”. No one approached us and 15 minutes later we were handed the check. I mentioned our disappointment on the way out and one of the hosts apologized and took it off our check. I hope in the future the management trains it waitstaff to inform management if a costumer is dissatisfied with their meal.
This place is awesome and the service is fantastic the food is fresh and delicious.
Awesome food. Bad waiter.
Great Atmosphere! Staff is exceptional in every way. Never disappointed would recommend to friends and family.
Great food. Good service. Can't wait to go back!
I want this place to be 5 stars but it just isn't. The atmosphere is great and the menu has some great selections. However, the food and service is lacking. I went in on a Sunday before the dinner rush. Service was slow despite having few …
The food was great prices tpo high for portion very expensive
This place was amazing. Great place to bring the family or for a romantic dinner. The mac and cheese is the best in NH. Large drink and wine list for any occasion. Parking can be limited in the lot but the resturant offers a shuttle service.
We went here for our anniversary and were seated in the Tavern, which was our choice. The tavern was nice and not very busy, making us one of only three parties to be there. Food was good, however overpriced. We found our waitress, Emily, to be less than courteous. A party of two was seated 10-15 minutes after us, but received their meal well before us. We also noted that when some regulars and all male parties came in they were treated by the same waitress with much more enthusiasm. Emily never asked us how we were or how we liked our meal and very rarely made eye contact. She never returned to our table after we received our meal and only returned when it was time for the check. It would have been nice to receive the same treatment as the regulars or all male parties did. We were very polite with her and not demanding, yet we were treated like she had somewhere better to be. Another reason why tipping should be based on service and not the price of the bill!
Good comfort food, not haute cuisine, outrageous Mac & cheese
Had 7 pm reservations on saturday night. Got seated in 5 minutes. Food was great. Ordered seafood chowder. Service was great. Highly recommended.
Great food and bar atmosphere! Love the new remodel!
Yo I’m just letting y’all know that this place slaps beyond belief. This is a very nice place that is unexpected to be this good. A little on the pricy side, but it is worth it. Great atmosphere and great views.
Canoe never disappoints. Quality food and quality service keep my family coming back year after year when we visit.
Good service, clean, pleasant & good food.
Excellent food and service! They also knew how to accommodate my wife's allergies to both gluten and dairy.
Awesome, great food and staff
Great food..slow service..great views..nice atmosphere
Was there too early for the dinner menu (bad planning on my part and I was a little disappointed but 100% my fault). The Canoe chips are a MUST TRY! I had the Lobster Mac n' Cheese and my Wife had the short rib stroganoff. BOTH were excellent. Service was great, attentive, and friendly. Overall a great experience and will be back next time we are in the area.
It started with the hostess desk .. we were promised one table, then that hostess walked away and did not communicate this to the next hostess who proceeded to give our table to someone who came in after we did .. we were offered a table downstairs .. it was so loud that not only could we not hear each other, but the waiter had a hard time hearing our order (it did not help that the table next to us was so loud given that they were competing with the music and other guests) .. Our food took exceptionally long to get to us after our appetizers .. although my three other guests were pleased with their meals (they had been there before) .. my pork tenderloin was very dry and the potatoes were cold .. I had them sent back and they returned cold .. at that point I lost my appetite and just wanted to leave .. the waiter never mentioned the mishap to a manager, and I paid for a meal I did not eat .. I will not be returning for another meal.
My hubby and I are on vacation without the five kids!!! We went to canoe the other night and it was FABULOUS!!!! I had lobster Mac and cheese. He had steak. We are going back tonight.....THIS is vacation!!!!!!!! Yum!!!! Efrain was our waiter in the bar area. He was great.
Went for lunch with my wife, great food friendly staff and gorgous views of lake winnepesauke.
Very nice, relaxing, the waiter is a very nice and kind gentleman and attends to your needs. Dinner was good, I got the special for Valentine's but to be honest it wasn't something I liked alot. I loved the shrimp and their size but for the money the lobster tail with shell still on it didn't have a good piece of lobster in it, and it was hard to remove the lobster.
The Mac & cheese was creamy, but had no cheese flavor. The paella was made with long grain rice and soupy marinara sauce. Overall it is flavorless and overpriced.
Went there with my family for mother's day brunch. Table wasn't ready when we arrived despite having reservations. Service was slow, and their "brunch" menu was a joke. Completely uninspired, and very few options: Eggs benedict, frittatas, …
Great New York sirloin
Good stop for american cuisine, prices are a tad high and the food generally takes a while to come out. The people are nice.
Great seafood. Wonderful view. Lots of fun.
Excellent food and service!
Our server was prompt and friendly, however the food was meh. The fish tacos lacked any flavor other than a nice fried fish flavor, the slaw and pico was bland. The chop salad was not at all colorful and the grilled chicken was quite dry. Ryan, our lovely server, did get another piece of chicken however it was just as dry as the first. I think they were probably pre-cooked then heated for the salad topper. Bottom line is the chips with blue cheese and bacon were tastey. Ryan had the salad taken off the bill, which was appreciated.
Always have been a loyal customer, but I must say, the food quality has gone down, had to ask over and over again for our bread and other condiments
Only had caesar and fries and neither were anything to write home about but neither were they to complain over. They served the purpose. Perfectly pleasant space and friendly staff. On the pricey end for what you get.
Food was good atmosphere was relaxed the waitress was horrible the bartender sneezed in her hand then ran her hand in her hair never washed her hands and touched everything around there that was gross don't know if I'll be back
Just what we were looking for, friendly staff, food was spot on, the waiter listened carefully. Can't wait to go again, and a great view of the mount Washington!
First visit, very good.
They don't take reservations after 6:30 so be prepared to wait, they have 2 bars but when we went they had the downstairs closed for a function. It was busy and they may be understaffed. That said the, service was very pleasant, although busy, and somehow we got a seat at the bar. Fried oysters and Orange chicken we're amazing. Lobster Mac n cheese (1/4 lb serving of lobster, you can choose) was pretty good as we're the steak tips (a little over seasoned for me, but still good) with fries and haricovert. I'd definitely be back to dine again.
We had just arrived in Center Harbor, New Hampshire and reviewed a number of restaurants near our resort. The Canoe Restaurant was close by and seemed to fit our needs. The staff provided a welcoming environment and ensured our dinner was enjoyable. The Canoe was recently renovated and the interiors showed a contemporary but also a cottage chic ambience. Our meals were well prepared and enjoyable. Reservations are recommended for weekend dinners. Enjoy.
We had dinner for nine and everyone said their meal was excellent. The service was top notch. I would definitely recommend it.
Amazing food, great service.
The outside of the building is not so great looking but the inside is stunning. The food was tasty. The service was good not so great but it was very busy and the waiter was trying so you can’t fault him for that. Overall beautiful place with good food. Family friendly.
I had the meat loaf it was delicious my husband had the hatyk he loved it. The service was excellent Lauren was fantastic. The atmosphere was nice we were on the porch downstairs.
Very tasty. Huge portions, small menu hitting a little of most American fair foods. Nice drink selection as well. Tad pricey and a small parking lot. The attendant rushed my wife out of a spot when leaving before we were actually ready to …
Not as good as someone would expect the pasta was not cooked
absolutely hands down best place for dinner in the area..the ny strip is out of this world and the lobster mac and cheese is loaded with tail and claw meat
Sat at the bar. As always, great food, drinks, and service
Great service and meal
Recently renovated. Very nice atmosphere with good size menu. Mac and cheese is the best around!
The place was recommended to us and I wish I could say that I absolutely loved it but I found it just okay. The food wasn't great but it wasn't awful, the atmosphere the night I was there was a bit too loud when I was told it would be more cozy and it was a little warm inside for such a hot night. The waitresses seemed more interested in talking to each other then waiting on people to be honest
I often order take out from canoe as they have good food. I often order the ahi tuna. This is the third time I have specifically asked for sauce and got none, also no wasabi and a huge pile of pink. Not to mention there were FOUR pieces. In a small order? That's ridiculous. I even had the waitress read the order back to me. Obviously you don't care much about your take out customers since this is the third or forth issue- my husband also got a burger that wasn't cooked. Maybe look into your take out orders s little more. Thanks
We ordered a perfect storm.. bar tender filled the glass with ice then ginger beer, poured maybe a shot of sailor Jerry into the drink. $9.00. Worst pour I've ever experienced. Food is meh. Don't be so cheap with your booze! Won't be going back... Considering we've tried it about five times. CHEAP.
Very good food and service. We visit the Lakes Region in NH yearly and dining at the Canoe Restaurant is always on our list. You won’t be disappointed!!
AMAZING! House margarita was spot on! Fish tacos so good and lobster roll so good!
Good pub grub. Priced a bit high
We have driven by many times and never stopped, but we were starving so we dicided to give it a shot. So glad we did. The food was super, prices were very reasonable, and our waitress was great. The view of the lake from our table made it all the more enjoyable. We will visit again, and soon! Try it! You will be impressed.
Delicous...Ahi tuna...soon good
Good service, good food, good drinks.
Really cool place! Canoes hanging from the ceiling and the menus were held on a canoe shelf. The food is awesome and they cater to my gluten/ celiacs disease making sure that my food was prepared safely. Taylor, the hostess, was incredibly accommodating and overall made the experience wonderful.
Just remodeled, very nice inside. Good food and plenty of non seafood selections.
Best steak I've had in a long time. Calarmari was excellent.
Crowded,hot, food was cold,drinks were weak, but food was fair.
Just want to say this had nothing to do with our server (John) he was great........Came in at 7 and we're told there was a possible 1 hour wait time, for a party of 4 my wife and her parents. Fine, it's summer by the lake, we get it. We eventually find some seats at the bar and order some drinks. We're told our table was ready and it was pointed out. Gave our seats up at the bar for others and went to sit at designated table. Wife was told we could not sit. I speak with girls at front and they tell me we can. Now we wait...no menus for 10 minutes, again I get it they were busy. We finally give drink orders and appetizers. Appies come out quick and they were decent. We give our dinner orders and 1 hour later food finally arrives. My steak came out right my mother in law's did not both were overly peppered and I like pepper. We decided due to the time, now 9:30pm to let it go rather then to try and get it re-made. We did mention it to the server, but at this point in time being so late what could we do (now 10). Manager never came over to apologise for the long wait time for food or the discrepancy in the quality. Maybe it was a bad night I don't know, we have been here before and it was good. But if you follow the reviews things have been lacking lately.
Service was excellent so was the food would highly recomend going back
Great restaurant. Our 2nd visit in two years. Good food.
Very comfortable place. We had salmon and steak. The food and service were great.
Wonderful gluten free options..delish!
Food is great! Nice setting...
The place is fantastic!!
Great service and food. Wonderful atmosphere.
Orange chicken with fried rice was almost soup like. Steak tips were absurdly tough but cooked to order as requested. The turkey tips and Reuben was on the money. We did mention the steak tips to the waitress and she mentioned it to I'm assuming was a manager but they never checked back in with us to see if they could address our concerns. Great waitress but not go for managment. The table across from us ordered a salad wedge with steak tips and judging by her expression, not so good. This was ordered on 6.30.2019 at roughly 2:45 pm...there was eight of us..
Nice dinner last night....long wait but very friendly service...
Best meatloaf I've ever had. Wonderful food. Will definitely recommend.
Mediocre. Food was good but overpriced for what it was. The service was poor, slow, and forgetful. Overall experience was not worth the price.
First time dinner guests at Canoe this evening. The four of us were celebrating my Mother's 74th birthday. Our initial server was very inexperienced and immature, and when his deficiencies were privately brought to his attention, he chose to make a scene in the dining room, which prompted me to alert his manager. Taylor (Manager) was very sympathetic, acted like a professional manager, and made the remainder of our 1st time experience very pleasurable and valued. Thank you Taylor ! We'll be back for delicious dishes and desserts.
They did a nice job on the remodel. Same menu as before. Lunch was good
Max out waiter is great for all 14 of us!!
Have gone to Canoe for many years. If last night had been the first it certainly would’ve been the last . Waiter was terrible, food was mediocre at best. No steak knife for tips, couldn’t even cut two of them, $16 for a cosmopolitan, never got the coffee ordered twice. No olives in the martinis, of the four meals none were great.
The renovation of this restaurant made it look great. The lounge area is a wonderful place to hang out and meet friends for a drink and conversation.
the food here is fantastic. the wait staff is also very good. Highly recomended you'll get out of it what you expect be positive enjoy the meal and people and have a great time.
Great food and service.
Great food a nd atmosphere! Staff is exelant service is always great . I have been going there since 2004 I think. Great Old Fashions . Lol
Beautiful dining on the porch. Great food friendly staff
My son treated me to dinner here, excellent food , great service, and courteous staff. Will certainly return when back in the lakes region.
Great service, great food, great bathrooms!
Good food, nice bar, and a pleasant atmosphere. Sometimes the hostess can be a little snooty and getting a table can be difficult at times.
Great food, and beautiful views.
Went in for dinner and drinks. The waitress forgot to put in our appetizers. When they came they were the wrong ones. Dinner arrived cold. I know mistakes happen, but management did nothing to compensate, and we still had an $80 bill for dinner for two that I didn’t eat.
Great food and service.
Great food, good drinks and very cute bartender. You were awesome, Sydney : )
No doubt one of my favorite spots. The dim lighting and the white tablecloths with a relaxing lakeside spot. The mac and cheese has fed my family and me for years as one of our favorite dishes. The waiting staff has always been welcoming and inviting.
They were very welcoming, especially as we came in drenched from the rain and not really dressed for the restaurant. The wait staff was very friendly and helpful but not overbearing. The food was excellent! The atmosphere is very relaxing, comfortable and conducive to conversation. Thank you for a wonderful evening!
Food is cooked perfectly, good portions.
Orange chicken was very good. Atmosphere was nice with a water view. I do question classical music playing, doesn't really match the style.
Good food and service. Our food came out a little fast, salad before we finished app, entree just as we got to the salad. I don't hold it against them though, because we were there late (close to closing time) and mid week. I understand the kitchen staff probably wanted to get out of there. We would definitely return to Canoe.
Excellent food and service!!!!...Bit pricey though!.. Will definitely go back!!
Good food and service
The food is excellent definitely want to dine Upstairs Downstairs is a bit drab
Great food and atmosphere.
Gotta love Canoe! There is minimal parking close by, but the food is always great.
Excellent food, the remodel is beautiful
Food was good but they close at 830
Had the turkey tips. Awesome. Good service as well.
We have a boat on Winne and had dinner here with my inlaws after a day in the sun. We were really looking forward to this meal. Sadly, it did not come close to fulfilling our expectations. Absolutely the worst crab cakes that I've ever had! Honestly, they weren't much bigger than a silver dollar and were all breading and tasteless. Huge disappointment since we really like their sister restaurant, O Steak and Seafood. Will not be returning.
Great service and great food
Great place
Good food and atmosphere, recommended!
Great food and service
The best tenderloin steak tips I have had anywhere. It has a great atmosphere and the service is excellent. I would recommend this resturant to anyone.
Very good food, recently remodeled inside looks really nice. "Upscale" for the area, but shorts and flip flops are fine.
Food was good but the service left much to be desired. Extremely loud inside when I went. It was almost deafening. I don't know why they have nothing to absorb the noise (carpets, drapes, windows, etc.). They let a patron have her dog hang out in the dining area even though it wasn't a medical assistance dog which was disgusting. No soap in the bathroom which makes me worry for the staff's cleanliness. To top it all off, they let just about anyone take your reservation. Ours was taken by some random drunkards who came in after we were waiting for our table.
Beautiful setting. Generous proportions. Good but limited wine list. Had the paella. Sausage was appropriately spicy but the seafood was overcooked. No saffron on the rice. Too much tomato. Recommend trying a different dish.
Superb service and food, undoubtedly one of the best dining experiences in New Hampshire, Canoe sits atop lake Winnipesaukee like a crown jewel. Flavors burst though their preparations like motorcycle engines through the summer doldrums on Bike Week. The ambience is most relaxed and comfortable, soothing for a troubled soul, and is punctuated by classic, wooden canoes hanging from the ceiling. You can't go wrong ordering. Enjoy!
Always good. Winter warmer is a great deal.
Knock your socks off outstanding! Been there a few times and happy to say it is fabulous, just like the first time we went there! Have to say, a few times in between the food was okay but nothing great. Kinda thought we may not go back. Dating back about 4 years, it was unbelievable. A few times only okay. This last visit was fabulous. Food was great, service was great and a bit of an interior remodel all added up to another great experience. Try the Canoe and enjoy it. You will not be disappointed.
Very nice meal with great service. Food and prices are upscale, you get what you pay for.
Good snapper special, steak, and scallops. Newly redone dining area. Very attentive staff. Nice, just a wee bit pricey for what it is.
If you are looking for really good food, The Canoe Restaurant is the place for you. Located in New Hampshire, Canoe sits on the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee and provides diners with breathtaking views. The inside of the restaurant is reminiscent of an old boat house that you would find on any lake in New England. One can see why it is called Canoe because the rafters are full of old canoes. From the upstairs dining room you can see much of the lake which is just a short walk away. As you would expect, Canoe does seafood really well. The lobster mac and cheese is rich and creamy with fresh chunks of lobster. Also, the lobster rolls are consistently good with large chunks of fresh lobster meat. By far the favorite menu item is the Canoe Chips. Start with a plate of in-house made, thick-cut potato chips. Smother these in a mouthwatering blue cheese sauce and top it off with bacon bits and chopped scallions…heaven on a plate! The service was OK. When we walked in, they seated us right away. The waiter was very attentive. He kept our drinks filled and was helpful with menu questions. He had great recommendations like the Canoe Chips. If the memory of your meal at Canoe and the Canoe Chips aren’t enough to last a lifetime, you can pick up a Canoe T-shirt on your way out.
Pricey but delicious! The burgers alone are to die for! The view out the window is pretty sweet too if you arrive before it gets too dark to see anything.
Great food, great atmosphere! Sit at the downstairs bar with Mike and receive great service with entertainment on top! Ordered the NY Strip, amazing and cooked to perfection!
Sad, we have frequented this restaurant for 8 or so years and in the last 2 we have been very disappointed! There are not many "nice" restaurants in the area and the Owner has opened up a couple new "tavern" type restaurants. Seems like the attention are those other endeavors. Curry shrimp bowl for $24 was 5 medium shrimp, broth and noodles!!!! Could not taste the curry but plenty of broth and noodles and barely a taste of cilantro. Husband had pork with mash potatoes with cream spinach. He enjoyed the dish, missing enough of the pork dressing for half of his serving and sent the plate back to warm potato/spinach portion. Slivers of "bread" with oil as table greeting. Used to be bread sticks with oil. Everything has been halved and cheapened in the last 2 years. For us, over priced and slim portions, but then we are comparing it to 2 -3 years ago. Won't be going back for quite some time. Again, sad.
Had lunch. Less expensive than diner. Tasty food.
Very good food & service I enjoyed the seafood stir fry and my wife had the scallops. Both were tender and well prepaired. In winter there is a great view of the (frozen) lake. In the summer I suspect all you see is leaves. Will come again. Lunch for two was $40
The tap water they served was undrinkable. Worst I’ve ever had.
I just love the renovations. They did a great job. It is now a much more relaxed atmosphere with the new high top tables in the bar and the Beautiful big deep Booth seating in the dining room. Job well done! And as usual I had a burger and it was fabulous.
It was refreshing, to finally go to a restaurant and have good service and the food was out of this world...turkey tips, pastrami Reuben and the fish and chips, A++++ thank you for a great early mother's day experience..
Service was slow, food was not prepared well (except for lobster Mac...they've got that figured out), music was too loud and trying to be too trendy, and prices were way too high.
Great food. Don't miss the double pork chop or the Blueberry Margarita!
One of our favorites in Lake Region. Never disappoints.
Awesome setting,Great food,Frendly staff
Absolutely love this place with a great menu.
Super service great food from the nice warm hard crusted bread with honey butter to the main meal will definitely return
Food was barely average, the fish wss mushy, escargot was rubbery the salad was good.
Loved the apps Canoe Dip, Wedge Salad, Arugula salad, for entrees the filet and the medallions were define. Love the au gratin and lobster mac. Thanks so much for the great service and for taking care of us!
Pretty expensive for Pub Grub
Casual, and great food. Never had a bad meal there. Always interesting flavors. The bread and oil are a nice start to the meal.
Our server Rich was very friendly. Did a nice job. Food was very good.
Nice place, romantic
First time here in 10+ years and it hasn't skipped a beat. One of the better places to eat in the area, amazing mac & cheese and a solid beer and wine list. Their Ramen Bowls are great, too believe it or not!
This place is awesome. Worth the trip, food was great and service was even better!
Friendly staff. Great food at great prices. Steaks are the best!!
Fine dining. Great place for a good dinner.
High priced for the food . Corner House is a much better food for the money
Limited menu but the now have a nice pub area. A bit pricey. We have not had great luck with staff in the they can be very unfriendly especially the hostesses.
Food and service is great!
Canoe was very accommodating to us when we wanted a reservation for a group of 10. The service was good and the food was great. Every single person enjoyed their meal.
My family has been celebrating Mother's Day at 'The Canoe' for the last five years and it has always been a most pleasurable experience. Food is great, waitresses always knowledgeable and efficient, and the atmosphere is so relaxing and comfortable. We will be going back again this year!
Great atmosphere, Great food.!!
Really great food and obviously great scenery outside but super expensive. I guess we're paying mainly for atmosphere.
Great veggie burger, mac and cheese, and staff. Very clean. Specialty rum drinks and custom made bloody marys.
Good food, good service, and a nice atmosphere, I enjoyed my visit.
Excellent service from the minute we walked through the door. And the food was pretty good too.
This place is always good ,very consistent
Good food, friendly and attentive service
Great food ,drinks,beer. Solid go to place.
Good food, but an hour for food is too long
