    Zero proof and nonalcoholic drinks
    Jenny B.

    If you are looking for in-season dining by the water with stellar lake views come here! Park in the metered 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.

    I'd give a fourth star for the view, the outdoor seating and our server!. This place could be amazing, the location is great as is the layout inside and out. The food was okay, nothing to write home about. The street corn dip looked awful and was boring and it didn't sit well in our bellies, if you know what i mean. The smash burger was good with lots of bacon. The shrimp tacos were very pretty but kind of bland. Honestly the Mac and cheese was terrible. The sauce was so thin it was on the plate and not on the noodles (which was a great choice of noodle by the way - cavatappi). If they'd up the food a few notches they could really take off. Love the live music too!

    The worst sangria!

    Their dinner flavors. The food on the menu sounded way better than reality. Their lobster roll had a combination of one piece of fresh lobster and the remaining was several days old with a "fishy" flavor. Their Guac and chips was the only decent thing I ate. Their rum runner (dox punch per the wait staff) was overly sweet, and lacking. I miss the old Anthony's vibe and good food that was traditional for the pier. The only improvement was the live entertainment. I waited forever for a drink and service, and the requested extra paper napkins never came. The sangria forgot the wine, and tasted like an overly sweet fruit punch! So sad to see the Anthony vibe being replaced with a pipe dream. They have a lot of flashy new appearance, which is only skin deep. Don't wast your money for mediocre.

    BLT. Fish and chips. House burger. All delicious

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.

We were seated right away and given chips and salsa--the salsa was kind of bland, and the chips had no salt. Our waitress was very nice and attentive, which we appreciated. My wife ordered the enchilada combo with three different enchiladas. She doesn't like spicy food, and it turned out to be spicy, but no one mentioned that ahead of time. Still, she said it was good overall. I ordered the "pick three" combo with one side. It came on a giant plate (as you can see in the pictures). The tamale was decent but lacking flavor, the enchilada was okay and a little spicy (which I didn't mind), and the chimichanga was easily the best part of the meal--really good. The black beans were not good at all, though--they tasted off, almost sour, so I left them. For dessert, I got the churros to go. The menu doesn't say they're stuffed, but they were--filled with caramel and served with chocolate chip ice cream, hot fudge, and whipped cream. They were excellent. Prices were fair, and I'd probably go back, but it's not really my type of Mexican food. I prefer fresher Tex-Mex flavors, and this place leans more toward heavy cheese and sauces.

    Vida Mexican Restaurant is an authentic Mexican restaurant that opened in Laconia, New Hampshire in…read moreApril 2021. It was founded by a family of restaurateurs that includes Arpeet Shah, his wife Gabriele Hernandez, and brother-in-law Alan Romani. The family sought to bring authentic Mexican cuisine to the New Hampshire Lakes Region. The menu features of variety of Mexican dishes such as fajitas, burritos, tacos, chimichangas, quesadillas, enchiladas, as well as their signature crafted margaritas. A second location, dubbed Vida II, opened in Tilton in October 2021, but it was closed by late 2022. A third location, dubbed Vida at the Lake, opened in Meredith May 2022. The family also owns and operates Ensō Japanese Steakhouse in Meredith (opened June 2024) and Raíces Authentic Mexican Restaurant in Manchester (opened February 2025). My extended family and I visited the original Vida this past summer while we were visiting Funspot down the road. After a few hours at the arcade, we were getting hungry for lunch and looked on Yelp to see if there was a good restaurant nearby. Vida came highly recommended and we're glad that we decided to stop in. Most of us started off with a round of delicious margaritas. My wife had the "Fresca Strawberry Margarita" (1800 Silver tequila, triple sec, Gran Gala, fresh lime and fresh house strawberry purée) and I had the "Spicy Margarita" (Ghost Tequila, triple sec, Gran Gala, fresh lime and agave). We then ordered some freshly made guacamole for the table to share. For entrees, I had the "Taco Dinner" (three chorizo tacos, served w/ rice, beans, pico de gallo, fresh limes, grilled onions, jalapeño and salsa on the side), my wife had the "Shrimp Fajitas" (large grilled shrimp with onions, peppers and tomato, served on a sizzling skillet w/ rice, beans and salad), our older son had the "Kids Burrito & Taco", our younger son had the "Kids Corn Dog" (w/ fries). These dishes were super authentic! All of the ingredients tasted so fresh and flavorful. We're very happy to have discovered Vida Mexican Restaurant and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for authentic Mexican cuisine in the New Hampshire Lakes Region!
