    Broiled seafood platter
    Amber P.

    This place is interesting. Reviews are iffy. The place has a cafeteria feel. Staff were nice. I really wanted lobster stew. We got a bowl to split and it was the most disgusting, flavorless thing I've ever had! It was a bowl of whole milk cut with some 2% and a lobster tail thrown in. Like they ran out and made it on the fly and forgot the butter. The lobster tail was also two giant pieces that we had to cut up. There was more than half left when the waitress picked it up- didn't even ask how it was. Shame. The boiled seafood platter was delicious! The Italian one was ok. Not sure why they don't crack the lobster?! Who puts a giant hot scoop of red sauce on top of a lobster. The seafood on this platter was also overdone. Disappointing! Wouldn't return!

    Lobster roll and fries
    Brittany R.

    Lobster roll is very tasty but small portion for such a big roll. Fries are so good! First time trying, would like to try other menu items in the future.

    Huge portions! Food was fresh and oysters, scallops were my fave. Friendly service with lots of seating. Spaghetti was not as good.

    Joy L.

    Fried sea food is really good!!! The home made onion rings are incredible Lobster rolls and the Italian seafood platter are okay.

    The food and drinks were absolutely amazing! Highly recommend the bacon wrapped scallops!! The season drinks were very tasty and fresh ingredients. The service was the best we have experienced in the area!!! I absolutely recommend this place.

    We stopped off at the Lobster trap for lunch and had to try a bowl of their lobster stew. With a name like Lobster Trap, you know it will be good! Loaded with lobster, and had a delicious broth as well. Just what we needed! We also tried the crabmeat stuffed mushrooms, and these were amazing as well! I could keep popping these in my mouth all day long! So good! We will definitely be back the next time we are in the area!

    The seafood was so fresh and delicious. Not disappointed at all. The waiter was really friendly and diligent working. 25% tipped.

    Linguine with lobster scampi.

    I have been visiting North Conway for decades. Today I ask myself why did I miss this family owned restaurant. The lobster scampi over linguine totally blew me away! I travel the world and food is my passion. I asked to meet the Mom who is the owner of the restaurant. She is a lovely lady and I was happy to let her know how impressed I was with the perfectly cooked lobster scampi. Her son is the head chief who cooked it. This place is off the normal path of North Conway but this should not stop you from enjoying the food. My wife had fried clam strips and they were perfect too. Add this to your list or head there after you read this you will not be disappointed.

If you're anywhere near the area, this place is 100% worth stopping in for--especially that Surf & Turf Burger. I'd go back just for that alone.

As a nice joke on the name, there is a small hole in the wall that is enclosed that you can see from the outside. The walls are filled with old decorations, TVs, Conway signs and decor. The food was overall good. We started with the Thai salad. It was enormous and comes with pepper, sunflower seeds, cranberry, sunflower seed dried, almonds, and more. This salad was so good that we got it to go the next day! For entrees we got the Texas Tornado sandwich (boneless chicken breast with bacon) and the Surf and Turf Burger. The chicken wasn't dry and the sweet potato fries ($2 upcharge) were good. For the surf and turf, I didn't feel like the lobster blended well with the burger so I took it off and ate it separately. The French fries were finger licking good! Our waitress was really nice and friendly and make some good conversation and recommendations. The wait time for our entrees was a little slow.

VERY BUSY - There was really nowhere to comfortably wait without feeling like you were in they way. We ended up standing outside with the Easter Bunny. LOL The Interior dining near the bar does not have a view. Most larger parties (6+) were on the interior side of the restaurant. Nice ambience with the piano player. They had a nice buffet - breakfast / lunch sweet and savory options. Favorites- Prime Rib Waffles Bacon Sausage Salmon Kitchen provided pancakes and eggs benedict if asked While we waited for our table we got a couple of drinks at the bar and the staff was both nice and funny. They had a funny banter with each other. Host/manager - very stressed but kept her focus and was sincerely thankful for people being patient. I was impressed with her stamina, she was just back from a medical leave for a spinal fusion. She and I chatted while coming back from the restroom. She was doing great and was very organized.

It was a bit further away than we anticipated - we were staying by Settlers Green outlets and it was a 15-min drive. But the grounds looked spectacular, even in March (Smarch!) and the White Mountain Resort looks so beautiful. I would definitely look into staying there on a future trip! We loved the restaurant too! Beautiful decor. It is attached to the pub next door (Tuckaway Tavern I think?) - the whole area is open and sort of separated by the piano. I loved that there was a live piano player! Love live music with dinner. The views of the mountains were amazing. Unfortunately there was a glare from the widow glass so we couldn't really see anything when it got dark (cue Boyfriend going on for 10 min about how this could be improved by redesigning the windows on a slanted angle blah blah ). We loved the food too! They offer wine flights which was really interesting. Boyfriend had a Caesar salad and I had the French onion soup to start - best French onion I've had in a while, with quite the cheese pull. Very flavorful. He had the 14 oz steak with fries as main course and I had the lobster mac and cheese. Boyfriend *loved* his choice and was super impressed with the steak, very well cooked with a charcoal-y flavor. My dish had lots of big lobster pieces and was tasty, but a little too "saucy" for my taste. I would try something else next time. We ended the evening with a brownie with ice cream for Boyfriends birthday - our wonderful server Miranda even put a candle on it - she was great all through dinner and very professional. Overall we loved this place! I was a bit apprehensive given the reviews and because I've never been impressed with North Conway dining in general, but the only two negative about this place were the bread served early on (multigrain - we couldn't eat it) and my Mac and cheese being a bit too liquidy. Other than that - perfect evening and we would come back!

We booked the "red room" for a party of 10 patrons which we scheduled far in advance. The people that were in the room before us ran over on their time, so we had to wait about 18 minutes after our reservation. The room is pretty cramped due to the length of the table, but it was cute and cozy. The max amount of people is 12 in this room. I had the taste of Ireland, which gives you three dishes in sample size: shepherds pie, beef stew & chicken pot pie. For $19.00 (kind of steep) it was okay. You can tell that there's a lot of pride, and it has a "just like mama used to make" method of cooking. Seems like they take a lot of pride in all of their dishes. It seems that everybody truly enjoyed their dishes, even the ones that had salad. Again, it was really nice that we were able to have our very own room. I would certainly come back and have the corned beef and cabbage meal; that's what my mother had and she said it was great. The only negative thing I would say is that our waitress seemed like she was a bit annoyed, having to wait on a large group and we needed to split our checks. Other than that I felt that our service was sufficient.

Lots of other things to me could have complemented the bread better. Then we order the lettuce wraps, they were ok. My friend ordered the duck and I tried it and we both really liked it! The vegetables were good! My sirloin....the steak itself was good despite being a tad overcooked for medium rare. Something on the plate had a curry flavor - it just didn't all go together well. Then the lemon ricotta cheesecake....we didn't taste any lemon, it was thick and weirdly dry for a cheesecake. It also had freeze dried something on top....we actually weren't sure what. Some bright spots - the food quality! You can tell that these are top notch high quality ingredients, and the cocktails! They were yummy! I just don't like the weird combos and what (to me) feels like being weird for the sake of being different versus just being good. Since I only come up here a few times a season I likely will go to our other favorites or try new spots.

We ordered toasted ravioli in a marinara sauce and two baseball sized meatballs. Both delicious.

We were very impressed with the portions and taste of all of these dishes. It was surprising to find such fine dining down a side street in North Conway near Zebs Country store. There is plenty of parking, a full bar, plenty of wines to choose from and handicap accessible. We rated this a 10 out of 10. We didn't have dessert as it was me and my twins Birthday. But, they sure looked delicious. Next time, and there will be a next time, I will try a dessert.
