    Bummer to read the most recent reviews, but pleased that our experience was the complete opposite. We went on Thursday night for live music and Randy was great. We sat at the bar; The staff was super kind (the bartender was friendly and very accommodating, a server in the area even looked up the hours of breakfast for us at the sister restaurant down the road without asking). We didn't have much for food - but the raspberry vinaigrette for the salad and the truffle fries were so good. We have no complaints.

    Fun upbeat bar and restaurant. Music was great and the prices were reasonable. I would return and maybe stay here on my next visit.

    If you want a place with a warm ambiance and live music, and don't care much about the food quality…read moreor execution, this is a perfect spot for mediocre albeit expensive tavern food. What went wrong? French fries delivered aside one of the two sandwich dishes was luke warm and nearly cold. Fries on the second sandwich dish were regular potatoes but we ordered sweet potato fries. Took 15-20 minutes to fix. Only 1 TV working on NFL playoff football weekend, and this TV was out of view of our table. Another TV located elsewhere was said to be non-operational due to a satellite dish having reception problems related to a couple of inches of "snow." The salmon add-on to the salad was overcooked and dry. So an overcooked salmon salad totaled $32, which are NYC prices for mediocre NH food. Service was very slow. It was a busy Saturday, so we didn't expect speed. What went right? Enjoyed the Brussel Sprouts appetizer. Loved a Czech beer on tap. Wildcat has a very decent tap menu. The overall ambience of the tavern-restaurant was excellent, and we especially appreciated the live music, which featured a guitarist playing 70's - 90's classic rock standards.

The bathroom is a bit small but maybe it was just our room but the floors were extremely creaky. I felt bad moving around our room because it would echo throughout the building it seems like. The WiFi they had was great and we didnt have the chance to try their food downstairs due to us checking in late.

Walked in 15 mins later with my girlfriend, we were warmly welcomed by Jo Jo who could not be any nicer, she did indeed seat as right away but she gave us a quick overview of the menu, made recommendations & then led us to a nice table in the dining room. we started off with excellent drinks ( my painkiller was mad exactly how I liked them making me feel like I was back in Yost Van Dyke in Virgin Islands, we got the fried calamari ( as Jo Jo recommended which was excellent)! For entrees , I got Short Rib Marsala ( another one of Jo Jo's recommendations ), it was the best Short Rib , I ever had, girlfriend got a steak which was perfectly cooked just as she ordered. We had no room for dessert but both were so satisfied. Jo Jo waved good bye & we vowed to return again next time we were in the area. Thanks Jo Jo & all @ Tuckerman's for a great dinner !

We'll be back.

Perfectly cooked, super flavorful, and the combo of the seafood with the burger just worked way better than I expected. The whole vibe in here feels local and comfortable, like the kind of spot you stumble into once and immediately want to come back to. Service was quick and friendly too. 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.

I want to start by saying both the food and drink were beyond exceptional, but I sat alone in the bar, and the service was extraordinary! I walked into the bar and was immediately greeted with a welcoming smile from Megan (the bartender). I sat down and browsed the menu for a moment before she came to take my order. I hadn't been to the moat before but really wanted to try one of the valley's local craft brews. I didnt really know what I wanted or what to expect, but Megan walked me through all of the tap options and helped me pick the perfect beer to end my day. Not only did she help with my beer choice (boneshaker brown ale) and food [the longhorn nachos (chef's kiss)], but also was there for every dining need or question that I had! Needless to say, I will absolutely be back! From exquisite cuisine to amazing attentive and authentic service, the moat has it all! One of North Conways best places to dine!
