    Everything is delicious, I had the fajita vida and it was huge!!! I tried the passion fruit mojito it was so refreshing. My family and I love this place. Staff is very nice and welcoming. They have a lovely patio as well that's enjoyable.

    Mexican night! Nicely decorated space with a great staff! Food was tasty. We got chicken fajitas and chimichangas. The standout was the queso dip! Delish. Coke products always a plus!

    The rice, beans, pico & tortillas for my husband's meal.

    We went on a Saturday afternoon and got seated immediately on their patio. The service was super friendly & nice. The food on the menus looked amazing so we hoped our food would look similar and it definitely did! It looked exactly how it was shown in the menu which is not something you always find at places. The chicken chimi was great as were the rice & beans. I also got one of their coconut creme mixed drinks which was so refreshing on a beautiful summer day. We will definitely be back.

    We have 2 Vida's within easy driving- one in downtown Meredith and the other in Weirs Beach- Laconia. The menu in Laconia is much bigger but the food is tasty and fresh in both. We shared Vida Burrito and it was adequate for 2 and delicious. Service is always friendly and prompt.

    This place had a great atmosphere, really attentive wait staff but the small portions on their huge plates are definitely a thing (as other reviews have said). The food was pretty decent though. I started off with a coconut rum punch which was very tasty but didn't have much alcohol in it. And you can't beat the complimentary chips and salsa! I got a fajita quesadilla which was one large flour tortilla with chicken, peppers, onions and cheese. It came with maybe 1/4 of rice and a small serving of refried beans and salad (which was really good). My hubby got the combo platter with a burrito and enchilada. It was a joke of how small the portion was compared to the plate size. He enjoyed the meal though and my little one got a plain chicken soft taco which went over well! Beware-- a small credit fee is applied like so many other restaurants so I'm glad we had cash.

    Eh. Not the best, not the worst. Small portions as you can see. Massive plate but not filled. Nickel and dimed us for the basics like cheese and sour cream. I would look elsewhere.

    Delicious food! Fast and friendly service. Portion sizes were huge! Burrito was so flavorful! Comfortable outdoor seating. You won't regret coming!

    Solid food. Nice outside area to eat. Inside was a bit strange as some of the walls were damaged. Service was generally good.

    Dox on Winnipesaukee - I raved over these simple summer squash tacos

The guac was unseasoned (when we asked for salt for the table, it was at least edible), the chips were stale, and our entrees and sides were not flavorful or fresh. The server was kind and doing her best but I think Dox is primarily for the wonderful views. If we were looking for a drink with views, this would have been perfect but I would skip a meal here.

    If you are looking for in-season dining by the water with stellar lake views come here! Park in the…read moremetered spaces along the lake, walk down the boardwalk, enter through enter retro arcade and you are at DOX on Winnipesaukee. 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.

    Axe & Ale was super fun. We were in the area for a concert and it had good ratings and was nearby…read moreso we went to check it out. We only went for dinner and drinks but they also have axe throwing! There is a private parking lot. It's in a plaza type place. There is a ton of seating inside - bar, tables, booths. We ended up sitting at the bar and got to sit right away. The bartender who waited on us was great. Very chatty and social and made sure we had everything we needed. My boyfriend drank beers on tap and I had my classic Tito's and pineapple. It was only $10 for my liquor drink which was a great price for the size. It was made very well. All the food we had was fantastic. It took a little while to come out but was so worth the wait. I got a Cesar salad and truffle Parmesan fries. My boyfriend got the spicy pepperoni pizza which was delicious. It had pepperoni, red pepper flakes, hot honey, and ricotta. Mouthwatering. My Cesar salad was perfect and the fries were to die for. I love a good truffle parm combo. Everything about our experience was positive except for the bartender constantly talking to her friends who came to sit at the bar which caused our level of service to decrease, which is the only reason I took away a star. She seemed frazzled and I did have to repeat my orders a few times. Otherwise, it was a great night of food and drinks. The bathrooms are not gender neutral but are handicap accessible, as is the restaurant. I would definitely come back.

    The poutine is weird and doesn't look right. Too wet. I feel like it needs to be a thicker sauce…read more The chunks of meat were insanely huge. I had simply asked for the cheese and sauce to be put on the noodles only instead of on the chicken because I don't want my chicken to be soggy. And they Didn't put any cheese and sauce on my plate at all! It's literally chicken Parmesan why wouldn't they put Parmesan on my food? One good thing was The chicken was crunchy. Couldn't even eat many of my noodles. There wasn't enough sauce.

Walked into a small hip restaurant with open kitchen, welcoming vibe and hip bar. I sat at the bar and despite being very busy, the bartender was pleasant, prompt and offered great suggestions. Ordered a Filet with mashed potatoes as they had no baked potatoes , and the filet was cooked to a perfect medium rare. Make sure to ask for their garlic knots! Was too full for desert , but suprised there was no coffee or espresso available as they don't serve either. Was not a deal breaker for me as the food and service was outstanding just odd for a restaurant to not have either. Vast menus with selections for everyone. Will certainly be back next time I'm in town. Keep up the good work Bernini!

Yes the place was renovated beautifully in a classic young setting but the staffed killed it in their poor presentation of a local pizza joint Attire. Now getting to the food which I could not believe floating in oil. I commented to my server and was told this is the way we serve it with plenty of oil, people love it.....I quickly excused myself and headed to the Ladies room to get my composure and decided I had enough Mother's Day at Bernini's so if your out boating and need a place to eat here it is!!!

This…read morelow key cozy restaurant and bar offers a small outside seating area in front, indoor high top tables (glass surface), bar seating & a table in the front dining area and another seating area in the back room with another bar (not in use at the time of this posting). 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.
