    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.

    Stuffed Mushrooms

    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.

Hubby says the beers are nice and cold and I enjoy the cocktail menu that has some great drinks including the Margaritas and the Mai Tai. I've also ordered the Blood Orange Martini and was not sorry. The cheeseburger is my go to item. Perfect burger with crispy bacon is my fav. The fries are yummy, fresh delish. For dinner, I have enjoyed the filet mignon with baked potato and hubby has enjoyed the open faced prime rib sandwich and the burgers offered. We both enjoyed the appetizer menu with the stuffed mushrooms (sausage stuffing no seafood which I prefer) steak and cheese egg rolls and the wings. The bread basket is a must and the rolls are nice and warm with butter and herb butter that is so good. Nice comfortable atmosphere and there are a few dining rooms if there is no room in the bar area. Bartender and waitstaff are all excellent. The hostess will also guide you in for a good spot which I appreciate. Adam was our latest bartender and server and he is fabulous. We always enjoy Merlino's and will probably be regulars fairly soon.

Gusto Caffe in Meredith is the closest I've come to being back there. From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed like family. The warmth isn't just service -- it's genuine.

Excellent! so when we had an appointment in Laconia I was looking forward to the rich full bodied Americano decaf we always get. I added a bit of half n half and tasted. Found them to be luke warm, and also weak as dish water. I think the cool temp of the brewing water prevented the coffee beans from giving up their flavor. I brought back to the counter where the barista warmed them w the frother. btw, no apology. I thought I could drink it but it was awful. So I asked for a splash of regular coffee to be added thinking that might fix the weak flavor. She told me she'd have to charge me for a small coffee. Really? Didn't I already spend almost $5 on this bad coffee? So, that was it, I declined the additional cost and left it on the table. My husband brought his home where he promptly threw it away.
