    Sunset at Lego early September
    Tatiane M.

    5 Stars - A Must-Visit Lago in Meredith is an absolute gem--beautifully appointed and perfectly perched right on Lake Winnipesaukee, with breathtaking sunset views. Whether you're here for a romantic dinner or just a cocktail at the bar, this place nails it every time. The food? Fantastic. The calamari is next-level, with artichoke and jalapeños that surprise in the best way. We've tried a bit of everything--the crab-stuffed sole, salmon with gnocchi, steak--and every dish has been a hit. Seriously, not a weak spot on the menu. As California wine snobs (), the wine list--thoughtful and solid. And whatever you do, don't skip dessert. The bourbon pecan cannoli is out of this world. Get it while it's in season! Huge shoutout to Daniel, our server--he made us feel genuinely welcome and cared for, which just elevated the whole experience. Lago has it all: stellar food, great vibes, amazing service, and unforgettable views. Can't wait to come back!

    Appetizer: Calamari

    I was looking for a restaurant for a party of 17 in the lake region for a family reunion and reached out to Lago. Rianna, their event coordinator, was friendly and communicative throughout the process providing us with pictures of the space and different set menus. We were provided 3 set menus and decided on B which had salmon, short rib, and chicken as entrees. Each set comes with shared appetizers, salads, entrees, and desserts. Our server Nicole was an absolute rockstar. She was incredibly friendly and kind. She answered all our questions and accommodated for the 3 children (under 8) we had as well as one dietary restriction. Two of my family members got martinis which she served tableside which was such a treat for everyone to watch. Thank you, Nicole! As for food, the appetizers were great. The bruschetta and calamari got us ready for the meal and the arugula salad was a delight. I particularly loved the candied walnuts. I ordered the short rib and my wife got the mango chili salmon. The short rib was tender and perfectly cooked, and the potatoes and carrots complimented the protein. It was rustic comfort food at its best. The salmon was unlike any other salmon I have had before. The flavors and the textures of the 3 components paired so well. It was my favorite bite of the meal! If that wasn't enough, the meal ended with chocolate espresso beans, a cup of tiramisu, coffee, and a shot of limoncello. I would be remiss if I didn't also mention the incredible view of the lake. It was honestly a flawless experience. My wife and I talked about the meal on the drive home and can't wait to return if we are ever in the lake region again.

    Sicilian salad

    100% would come back here. We had salad, mussels, Veal Milanese and Scallops. All were hot, flavorful and big portions. Took some pictures but missed my hubbys scallops. Hidden gem!

    Orecchiette Sausage

    Being in central New Hampshire - an appropriate "nice dinner out" can sometimes be challenging, especially later in the evening. After a very long day of much travel, we happened up Lago as a recommendation on Yelp. Why the heck not? Amiright? First, for a Thursday night, the place was packed. I honestly thought we were getting turned away when we walked in... but no, the hostess pulled a miracle and nearly immediately got us seated. Our waitress, bless her heart I can't remember her name, even though we walked in so close to closing... she greeted us with a smile. I was borderline in tears I was so exhausted and she took the entire experience and turned it on a dime. Cheery, smiles, and a personality as big as the entire restaurant. Our drinks hit the table within minutes. They never ran dry. The martini was on-point and just what I needed to settle and tie-up the ends of the day! We started with the Tuna Tartare w/ avocado mousse. Lord. I still think about that constantly. ON POINT. For dinner my partner had the Orecchiette Sausage Broccolini (albeit, I feel like his was asparagus vs broccoli? Maybe I'm mistaken). I had the Piccata. Both meals were absolutely delightful. Beautifully plated and served piping hot... I can't say enough wonderful things about the entire experience. The staff, drinks, price-point, ambiance, and food was absolutely perfect and I can't sing their praises enough. Thanks to everyone at Lago for a wonderful experience, we'll look forward to visiting again soon!

    The staff was very friendly. When you enter, check out the table across from the hostess stand. They have crackers and a different daily cheese choice. You just take a thick slide and bring it to your table. Or maybe, if you have to wait (which we did not have to), you can enjoy in the lobby. Ordered the black raspberry limoncello, which was delicious. Husband ordered the cucumber special drink and said it was just okay. I had the burrata and bruscetta appetizer and enjoyed with GF Flatbread wedges (instead of the usual crisps). It was delicious. Husband got the large meatball appetizer, which was enjoyable. He had to control himself to not eat all 3 and will save later to put over some pasta at home. He also said the bread and olive oil to star was delicious. I will have to take his word for it since I am GF. As for the entrees, we were not impressed. Husband ordered the buccatini and burrata pasta dish. They were out of buccatini and substituted with linguini. They forgot to put the pasta over marinara and put way too many chili pepper flakes on the dish. It was inedible. I ordered the scallops over a butternut caponata and a maple sweet potato pretty and a fennel and apple slaw. The puree tasted like strong cumin (no maple taste at all), and the slaw was very vinegary. Scallops were cooked perfectly. I would recommend to just have the scallops and the caponata and skip the puree and slaw. For dessert - white chocolate and raspberry gelato and chocolate cake. Side note - their tap water was actually quite good and is served in a glass bottle at the table. Reminded me of NYC water.

    My first time back since they changed the menu. Prior visits were always good but I was looking…read moreforward to checking out the new menu. This is a lovely restaurant that sits alongside Meredith Bay on Lake Winnipesaukee. There are a number of seating choices including bar, high top and conventional tables, many with views of the lake. This time of the year, the views of the snow-covered frozen lake are gorgeous. I wish I could say the same thing about our dinner, which frankly was a disappointment. The menu includes a good variety of starters, appetizers, salads, handhelds, and entrees. Two of us ordered the Flat Iron Steak. I realize this is usually a chewier cut of meat, but this was so tough it was inedible. Our server and the manager both could not have been nicer in terms of how they handled this as I returned mine and was quickly brought a different dinner- a French Dip sandwich. This was tasty but there was more bread than roast beef. The other person chose to keep her flat iron streak, but I could tell it was very difficult to cut and chew. Another ordered the Chicken Milanese Salad which included arugula, peppers, roasted tomatoes and olives in a balsamic dressing. The Parmesan crusted pan fried chicken came over-done but that meal was well-liked. The service and the ambiance were stellar.

Lakehouse Grille in Meredith has been our family favorite for years, and once again, they've reminded us why we keep coming back. This recent visit was a bit different--we came for lunch instead of our usual dinner, and we were celebrating the life of my mother-in-law who had just passed away. It was a meaningful day for us, and from the moment we walked in, we were met with the kind of warmth and genuine care that makes this place so special. Our server McKenzie was nothing short of extraordinary. She greeted us with kindness and compassion, and her attentiveness throughout the meal truly elevated the experience. She understands hospitality on a deep level. One moment in particular left us speechless--when my husband asked for a cappuccino, she regretfully explained that the restaurant doesn't have an espresso machine (which, side note, they should totally invest in one!). But instead of letting that be the end of it, McKenzie took it upon herself to walk over to the hotel lobby and make an espresso for him. When she returned, proud and smiling, it was a small act that meant the world to us. It's this kind of care and heart that the hospitality industry desperately needs more of. As always, the food was fantastic. We had lobster rolls this time and they were generously portioned, super fresh, and fairly priced--honestly some of the best we've had. For dessert, the crème brûlée was smooth, rich, and the perfect sweet ending. Their wine list is decent too and pairs nicely with the lunch menu. Between the amazing lake views, consistently excellent food, and unmatched hospitality, Lakehouse Grille continues to be a true gem. We're already looking forward to returning in the spring--and truly hope we see McKenzie again. She's a star!

Try to call for reservations during peak hours inside. This restaurant is worth getting to early, enjoying plenty of fabulous cocktails and then dining on their spacious decks. There are some cool 2-seater chairs with connected tables along the right-most deck. If you do get put on the waiting list you can go and play at the retro arcade. Dox has 2 'docks' - or patio decks - in an L shape looking over Lake Winnipesaukee. The views are exquisite. Just make sure you plan your trip in season because they don't open until the end of May and then close in the winter (not sure exactly when.) So they have an awesome menu of tasty cocktails, beer, wine, liquor, zero-proof cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks. The Mudslide looked good. It is made with rum, vanilla ice cream, Kahlua, Stoli vanilla vodka and Bailey's Irish Cream. I ordered the Strawberry and Peach Sangria. It is made with house rum, Peachtree liqueur, strawberry puree, house Cabernet Sauvignon and Sprite. The menu is reliable with no standout surprises, during reading. But maybe the food - if it is as good as the veggie tacos i enjoyed - is the understated surprise. We ordered chicken tenders with fries and slaw. If you like slaw, or are splitting this entree, order a double slaw along with the fries. The chicken tender coating was light and flakey. The best things I ate were the veggie tacos. They are made with zucchini, broccoli, summer squash and cheddar cheese. So simple and easy but deliciously pure! I literally described them as delightful in my video review of Jenny Blanco Tours Season 5 Episode 8. There is live music here twice daily. I would only like to know that they were open in the winters -- too -- with heated patio lamps everywhere so that I could stare at that gorgeous, wintery lake view! But alas, Upper Valley folk probably have skiing to do. ;) PS- Loved the well-designed and witty t-shirts here, as well, and they were priced right at only $25.

I stopped by The Clubhouse recently for food and to get out of the very hot and humid weather. The place was air conditioned and I sat myself at a high top table in the front section where there were several people having food and drinks. The front room has a flatscreen TV on the wall and a digital jukebox. The bar offers 6 draft beers, can beers & seltzers, wine, mixed drinks and cocktails. The food menu offers appetizers, wings, wraps, sandwiches, subs, pizza, salads, and Italian dinners (lasagna rolls, chicken parm, ravioli) with garlic bread. The prices are moderate. I got an ice water and ordered the Lasagna Rolls ($17 plus tax). My entree was served in about 12 minutes after ordering. The Lasagna was a good portion served in a long oval casserole dish with 2 chewy buttery garlic bread pieces. The lasagna had rolls of firm noodles with cheeses and ground sausage and plenty of thick red tomato sauce topped with mozzarella and parmesan cheeses. However, the temperature of the lasagna was all over the place with the center very cold and the edges along the dish hot, but it was mostly lukewarm. I ate about 30 percent of the lasagna and boxed the rest to reheat very hot when I got home. The check was $18.45 (cash)/$19.00 (card) with tax and before tip. Overall, the service here was courteous and efficient. The restaurant and bar was clean. The lasagna was hearty, but the food temperature should be hotter, especially serving food with ground meat and soft cheeses.
