Happy to know this is the original, Common Man, who serve dinner ALL DAY! All the food I've eaten at any Common Man is very good. The Yankee Pot Roast is a favorite of mine. But, the chicken pot pie they make called to me. Their buttery, pie crust was flaky & stuffed with pieces of chicken and veggies. Bar none the best I've ever eaten. Our server was right on top of our needs. She had a good sense of humor and knew the menu well. Her knowledge was appreciated. We weren't rushed. The interior was charming & clean. There was a full bar down stairs in a room on its own. Another smaller bar is upstairs. Both floors had plenty of dining tables. Cheese and crackers were set up to help yourself. Eating at a table, on the roof top patio was a real treat. The view was sweet, seeing the Common Man's, Country Store & ice-cream shop. This Main Street area has charm. It was such a relaxing treat before getting home. Thank you, Common Man!

We took the family to the Flume to enjoy the hike and on the way back, we were famished. So looked for places and this had banner reviews and we went for it. We weren't disappointed. Great food, superb ambiance, friendly service and excellent views. You go and order your food, wait a bit, pick it up and go sit down at one of four places in the property. Their lobster rolls are yummy. We also had burgers galore in our party. The seating areas are everywhere. One outside parallel to the parking lot. One cozy area next to the souvenir shop. One large one inside. And a terrace. Choices for everyone.

On our first visit, I had the Beet and Feta Salad with Grilled Salmon. It was fantastic, and one of my favorite meals of the entire trip. The salad was extremely fresh, with greens from local farmers. It was the best lettuce I've ever had, and when I tried to find out what kind it was, I wish told it was spring mix. It didn't look like any spring mix I've ever had, but it was such sweet, delicious and crunchy lettuce. The beets were also great, with both red and golden varieties. The salmon was cooked absolutely perfect. My dining partner got the Duck Confit Tacos. He did not care for that for a number of different reasons. In the first place, it should've been served on a different type of plate, as it was very messy and most of it was falling off the very narrow plate. He doesn't like a lot of mess. It likely would have been better had they left all the toppings off, to add them as you want them. There was way too much on top of the duck, which buried the taste. It was impossible to pick up, and very difficult to eat with a knife and fork. Plus they added too much cheese, and he doesn't like cheese much. It was not a dish he would order again. On our next visit, I had the Seafood Linguine. It came packed with fresh seafood with lots of mussels. It was a very generous portion, with plenty to take home for another meal. My partner had the grilled burger, which he quickly devoured. He said that was one great burger! On our next visit, we stopped in for a late lunch. It was a dreary, rainy day, and the weather was on the cool side. So we opted for soup. My partner got the Clam Chowder and I opted for the French Onion. They both hit the spot. My partner loved that burger so much, he ordered it again. I opted for a Grilled Veggie Sandwich, which was not as good as my salad choice a few nights earlier, but it was OK. All in all, we enjoyed all three of our visits here. I'd be happy to return again when in the area.

Two burgers ordered medium were instead cooked well done, and a veggie bowl with rice was served with the most poorly cooked rice I've ever seen in a restaurant. It was a solid bowl-shaped mound of gummy rice mush. And when I asked if there was a non-dairy alternative to the naan it should have come with, I was told no but I suspect the waiter just didn't want to ask. The restaurant itself was nice enough, but we were seated near the bar, which was noisier than I would have preferred. (Mostly from the very chatty bartender) I'm sure they would have preferred being told at the time, but I wasn't interested in sending back 3 out of 5 meals. But eating out has gotten too expensive to accept meals that poor. It was $190 with tip for five. (No alcohol, but 3 mocktails) My son liked the Thai salmon.

I have been very disappointed with the fish's freshness and quality much less the variety. I was produce shopping when noticed a line of people toward the back of the store. I decided to investigate and discovered Sal's Fresh Seafood Market. As I stood and watched, I saw the show cases full of seafood as well as fish. The people behind the counter had smiles on their faces, when as the customers turned and left, they all seem to be very happy. I decided to give this place a try. It was my turn to be served and was greeted very cheerfully. The fish looked very fresh. I picked a few items paid for them (the price was good). I have to say that this product was very fresh and better than most places I have been to. A very nice surprise! in short, Great fish, at a good price. Needless to say, I will be buying ALL my seafood at Sal's Fresh Seafood Market.

We stopped by for lunch and ordered lobster rolls with fries and slaw along with two sodas. Total was just over $70. The lobster roll was priced in line with what we paid on Cape Cod a few weeks ago and the portion was very generous. There was lots of great lobster salad and it was served on a toasted bun. I liked mine. The fries and the slaw were good too. There are picnic tables outside at which to eat. I liked that the trays and containers the food came were mostly sustainable. If you're looking for something fancy, this might not fit your goals, but if you want a great lobster roll in a no-nonsense setting, give this place a try.

Our server's name was Summer, and she was awesome! The sticky rib and lamb lollipop appetizers were delicious. I had a pork tenderloin special that I hope will be added as a regular menu item. The pear sauce that was drizzled over the pork was outstanding, and I would love to try that recipe at home. My friends got the Ribeye and the Seafood Paella, and both of those were excellent. Not a scrap was left on our plates, and we all agreed that it was the best meal that we have had out in years. We can't wait to back!

Stopped at this restaurant on Father's Day, so we had to wait about 25 minutes for a table. It was…read moredefinitely worth the wait. First off, what a view! We were seated right by the window with an absolutely breathtaking view of the lake. No matter what the food tasted like, this was going to be a great experience. We had been working all day, and after 12 days working the Laconia Bike Week, we were tired and just wanted someplace to relax. This was a great choice. We started with a Beet Salad for me and New England Clam Chowder for my dining partner. He seems to be on a roll to find the best clam chowder, as he's ordered it just about everywhere. He said this was good, and my salad was excellent as well. I got the Seafood Paella and he ordered the Crispy Duck. He said the duck was very good, and it came on the saffron rice that was served with my paella dish. The paella was jam packed with seafood. I'd say it's an Americanized version of paella, but was still very good. They do make saffron rice using real saffron as opposed to saffron powder. The shellfish was plentiful and had scallops, shrimp, mussels, and clams. There was edamame instead of peas, which is a bit unusual, but still good. All the seafood was cooked nicely. There was a little too much andouille sausage for my liking, which I removed. With all the food, there was no room for dessert. This was an outstanding way to end a very long week.
