We were seated on the second floor deck looking out Lake Winnipesaukee. Our server, Kayden, was excellent! He took great care of us! We opened with adult beverages, a lemon drop for my wife and an IPA for me. We also ordered a small order of homemade chips as a starter. For our dinner my wife ordered their chicken tenders and I their southwest salad adding blackened salmon rare. During our last visit, I was very disappointed, and how my salmon came out, not blackened and well done. I was very happy to see that my salmon was indeed rare and blackened! Great work, thank you! My salad overall was absolutely delicious and my wife enjoyed her huge order of chicken tenders and homemade chips! Great visit this time both the food and our server were excellent! Unfortunately, it is probably our last visit this trip. Looking forward to our next!

The restaurant has been open for two summers for lunch and dinner. I ordered the Cornbread Loaf (sausage gravy on cornbread with two over-easy eggs and home fries) and my husband ordered Two Men From Tuftonboro (two eggs, two pancakes, two sausages, two bacon). It wasn't particularly busy but it took quite a while to get our meals. We were with four other people and I was beginning to think the complaining was about begin when we got our meals. It was worth the wait. Delicious! My cornbread was tasty, the sausage gravy had ample sausage, and the over-easy eggs were just that. The home fries weren't very hot but did taste good. My husband's meal was equally good. We heard similar comments from our dining companions including "worth the wait." I would have given it 5 stars but it did take a little too long to get our meals.

The salad appeared to have been dressed with apple sauce mixed with water(!) and nothing else, and the pork chop tasted of ammonia and some other chemical. It was dry and inedible. Took one small bite, even though the smell was entirely off-putting. Tossed in the trash at home. A very expensive experience for what it was. The one star is for the welcoming and amiable wait staff. In spite of the super cold dining room in which we were seated (some of the folks in our party, including me, resorted to wearing coats and hats during the meal to get warm!), they were cheerful and attentive. The cook did come out into the dining room toward the very end of the evening and put the wall-mounted heater on, which took some of the edge off the cold. Lastly, on exiting the building, watch your step! There's a drop of about 2 feet as you approach the door to the parking lot. Anyone with mobility challenges may be unable to navigate this and/or the black ice in the parking lot.

The salads, burgers and flatbreads all looked good, but I decided to go with steak and cheese nachos and it was very tasty. I would say it could have been served a little warmer because the cheese had started to congeal by the time I got it, but the flavors were great. Also, I had a NH Old Fashioned that had local maple syrup and it was very good. The Milky Way (or Galaxy) cake we had for dessert was also good. I heard it called both. Like I said, service was very friendly but it could have been a little more attentive as our empty dishes sat for 20 minutes before we asked someone if we could order dessert. But that was a minor blip and overall, it was a nice lunch in a nice spot with a lively crowd.

Onions Pub & Restaurant turned out to be one of those places that makes you glad you trusted the reviews. Housed in the historic Tilton Inn, the restaurant has plenty of character before you even open the menu. We chose the pub side, which has a fun, relaxed atmosphere and felt like exactly the right place to kick off the evening. We started by sharing the French onion soup, and I'm glad we did. It was outstanding and easily one of the better versions I've had in quite some time. My partner ordered one of the entrée salads, which looked fresh, generous, and every bit as satisfying as my fish and chips. I paired the fish and chips with a Smithwick's Irish Red Ale. The fish was crisp, flaky, and satisfying--the kind of pub meal that's hard to improve on. The service added just as much to the experience as the food. Our waitress was also tending bar and happily shared the story behind both the historic inn and the restaurant's unusual name. As we learned, "Onion" is actually an affectionate nickname for Bermudians, a nod to the island's once-famous onion exports. Since the owner is half Bermudan, the name fits perfectly. She was one part bartender, one part server, and one part docent, and it made the whole experience that much more enjoyable. Onions is a little quirky in all the right ways, with good food, welcoming people, and a setting that feels like it has stories to tell. If you're in the area--whether you're heading to a concert or just passing by on I-93--it's well worth the stop. Five stars.

Portion sizes are pretty massive. My dining partner got the meatloaf dish. It was absolutely ginormous! We were in an Airbnb without a full kitchen, so though we took it with us, he never did eat it. It was heavily glazed with something he did not like. Had it been glazed with a little lighter hand, he probably would not have minded it. But he did not like that flavor at all. The mac & cheese was good but again heavier than he likes to eat. The seafood dish I had, on the other hand, was very good. It had plenty of pieces of lobster in it, as well as generous portions of shellfish. The broth was also excellent. As this is a pricier place, we only made one trip during our 13-day stay. It is worth a visit here, and you'll likely get enough for a second meal. There were lots of good choices on the menu. I originally thought to give this place 5 stars based on my dish, but due to the fact that my dining partner did not make any effort to eat the rest of his meal he took home because he said he didn't like it enough, that took a star away.

I'm going to start by saying I was extremely excited to try Canoe and I don't think I've ever been…read moreso disappointed. The only positive part of our meal was the appetizers. We were seated immediately and our drink order was taken quickly but took a long time to come out. Our appetizers came out quicker and honestly were amazing. We ordered canoe bread, grilled cheese and tomatoes, crispy orange chicken, and sweet and sour calamari. Everything was delicious and I wish we had stopped at appetizers. Next came salads; two of us asked for extra dressing and half our salad was gone before it arrived. We also had to ask for another round of drinks even though our cups were empty. Dinner took forever to come out and only six of our seven meals came out. We tried to wait for the final meal but it was taking so long and our meals were already cold, they came out cold. The final meal came out and the salmon was raw. My guess is they forgot about the salmon and tried to make it quickly. We sent it back and they literally threw it back on the grill but let the side sit. Every dinner was cold and the two steaks were over done and cold. Our waitress, Melinda, never once asked how it was. We again had to ask for another round of drinks which again took an absurd amount of time to come out. Here's the thing normally at this point I would have left but we were there celebrating my birthday and everyone wanted to stay for dessert to celebrate. Dessert was even more disappointing than our main meals. I ordered the cinnamon roll and it tasted store bought and wasn't even warmed up. Our table also ordered the carrot cake (more like half frozen spice cake), the chocolate chip lava cake (no lava), and the triple chocolate cake (meh). Again the waitress never checked in. We finally had enough and when I saw the waitress I gave her a card to run so we could be done I honestly thought it was going to take her forever to bring us the bill and luckily it didn't. $505.65 before tip. $505.65 and the majority of our meal was terrible. $605.65 after tip which was 20% and 100% not deserved. The cherry on top was a manager never came by after we sent raw salmon back and they left it on the bill. Personally I don't care so much about the money but the fact that a manager never came by is mind blowing. That's restaurant 101. I've never been so disappointed in a restaurant that truly started off so good.
