Got take out. Walked in when busy. Got some very good clam chower. Clammy Smokey baconey very good. Love

A bit bummed that the legendary Lakeview Tavern is gone, but got to admit the Breeze did a nice job with this space. I'll never forget what I don't remember from nights shooting pool, throwing darts, and deleting light domestics and tasteless fried food. Breeze by the bay has a nice ambiance. The wait staff was excellent. I ordered a whiskey sour, and it came in a pint glass with lousy ice machine ice that melted in seconds. We gotta work on our presentation of cocktails if we are going to present ourselves as high class dining here folks. The food was very good and tasty and they have a nice menu. I would definitely come back and wish this place well. Work on the cocktails! read more

I've had great food and service from The Breeze By the Bay previously. Unfortunately this time, I'm disappointed and a little mad. I ordered takeout - 3 salads - add steak tips. The cost of adding the steak tips to the salads ($12+) and the amount of steak we actually received do not align - I may have gotten 1 sliced up steak tip per salad, at best. They were good, tender, cooked to order... Certainly not worth the price paid. read more

The Breeze By The Bay opened up in Meredith in October 2024, formerly Sunshine & Pas, located a block away from the town docks along Lake Winnipesaukee. The original Breeze in Gilford is still open too. This renovated restaurant and bar offers a cozy casual dining atmosphere serving up a variety of sandwiches, appetizers, soups, chowders, salads, and dinner entrees (seafood, chicken, duck, steaks, filets) at moderate prices. The place offers a full bar with several beers on tap, wine, and cocktails, seating up at the bar and table seating on the main dining room floor and chairs in front of the fireplace. I stopped by for dinner at The Breeze By The Bay after work. Since the place was busy on a Friday night and I requested to be seated at a small table in the middle of the dining room since most seats at the bar were occupied. I quickly decided on food after glancing at the menu, which is the same as Gilford. For a starter, the Fried Oysters ($15 plus tax) came out very hot, which had 8 or so deep fried battered oysters over pickled red onions & red cabbage with a spicy remoulade sauce for dipping. For dinner, the Panko Encrusted Haddock ($22 plus tax) served with jasmine rice and buttered fresh asparagus was a great choice. The good sized piece of haddock filet was soft and flaky and "to die for" as quoted by another diner enjoying the same dish, sitting at the next table. I actually saved some remoulade sauce to dip some of the haddock for a spicy kick. After I finished my food, I passed on the offer for dessert, in which no desserts offered were actually made in house. They did offer an apple gallette with ice cream on special a week before, which I would've likely ordered. The check was $40.16 with tax and before tip. Overall, the fried oysters were very good, though I wished the portion was a bit larger. The haddock entree was fantastic with good portions. The service here was adequate despite the place being very busy. The Breeze whether in Gilford (lakeview) or Meredith (no view) is a great choice for lunch and dinner close to the Lake. read more

Great and friendly service. Just ordered the artichoke dip appetizer so far and it's fantastic. Also had fried haddock sandwich and a crab club sandwich would order again. Crab club sandwich had good portion with big pieces of crab. The haddock sandwich came with lettuce, tomato and pickled onion. I recommend holding the tomato and pickled onion next time. All in all the ambience and food, Everything was very nice. Highly recommended. read more

The Breeze By The Bay - Seafood Near Me - Meredith, New Hampshire

Our first visit- we were greeted & seated quickly for lunch. Our server Mackenzie served us water & drinks with a smile. We ordered the octopus appetizer which was tender with toasted bread and seaweed salad. The chicken wings app were crispy and had a spicy rub. I had the Caesar salad with MahiMahi which was cooked perfectly. We sat in front of the fireplace, really enjoying our meal and watching the sleet outside. We'll definitely return. read more

Awesome food and great ambiance! Finding a roaring fireplace inside on a cold autumn day was a welcome surprise! Service and food were excellent! read more

Beautiful inside. Bar is long and has rock siding, you face all windows, which is nice. TV at end of the bar. Very clean inside, fire place, spaced out tables. Food and cocktails were great. Waitress and hostess were very nice. I would def recommend. read more

The manager was rude, however the bar service and bartenders were great. We went on Friday early evening, 4 or 5 girls chatting at the desk completely ignored us. If you go, sit at the bar. We had one drink and went to Giuseppe's and it was great. Would not recommend unless you can find a seat at the bar. read more

Service was something least desired. Husbands food came out with soup all at the same time. Soup cold, dinner as well was Luke warm. One of the party members got violently ill after eating jambalaya. Waiter pushed high end vodkas for drinks. read more

The food was great and the drinks were strong! I had the Dock Bay and beet + feta salad with grilled chicken. Delicious!

We went to the "new" Breeze a few weeks ago for lunch when my wife and I were in town for the weekend. We regularly go to The Breeze in Gilford and really enjoy it. We had another great experience at The Breeze By The Bay. They did a great job renovating the inside which was bright, welcoming and fresh. The bar looked cool looking out onto the street. Behind the bar were large garage doors that they open when the weather is warmer which is a cool touch. Usually I sit at the bar at The Breeze in Gilford but this might have to be my new spot! We sat at a table and were quickly greeted by our waiter. He took our order and our drinks arrived quickly. I got a beer and my wife got a mixed drink which she thoroughly enjoyed. We then got chicken tenders as an app and I got a burger and fries for lunch with my wife getting a BLT grilled cheese. The food was delicious just like the Breeze in Gilford. The fries were tasty and my burger was cooked perfectly. We ate during lunch time so I don't know how busy it gets at night but regardless we will definitely be back and I would HIGHLY recommend The Breeze By The Bay to anyone looking for very good food in the Lakes Region. read more

First off the restaurant is rustic, cozy and welcoming. The french onion soup was delicious, the filet mignon sandwich was outstanding and cooked just the way I asked. My wife had spinach salad with grilled salmon on top and was delicious. Bartender Julia was pleasant and knowledgeable and answered all our questions of their drink & food menu We will return and bring friends. read more

This is a pretty restaurant, fairly recently renovated. The bar is great - open windows looking out across the street to the lake. But it is a really loud place, so don't look for an intimate dinner here. Our dining experience had pluses and minuses. The service was less than stellar. Our waiter delivered our meals and didn't come back to check on us for so long that we were nearly done eating. And I had long ago finished the drink he brought me when we sat down, so I would have appreciated some water. The food was a mixed bag. The clam chowder we shared as a starter was excellent. Smoky, creamy, and the pieces of potato and clam were perfectly sized. My husband had the evening's special - halibut on a salad with corn, red pepper edamame, and some kind of seafood (waiter didn't mention it but I think it was lobster). Anyway - this dish was perfect in every way. A little expensive at $48, but there was a ton of food on the plate, so I think it was worth the price. Sadly, I decided to try the blackened mahi mahi, and couldn't eat the meal. The dish was way spicier than I expected and just too hot. The green beans had way too much garlic and were inedible. And the dirty rice was overly spicy too. And since the waiter never came to check on our meals, I ended up just leaving it and eating part of my husbands's fabulous dish. When he did finally come back, he did offer to get me something else but it was too late. They did take my meal off the bill though. And the dessert made up for my meal - we got the Lemon Italian Cream Cake and it was soooo good! So overall, I'd go back I just wouldn't be so adventurous in my ordering next time! read more

Recently ate there and waiter forgot coffee, served wrong order and then to top it off he told us our table was reserved in 20 minutes and we had to leave! Dropped $150 for dinner!!! Very disappointed! I've eaten there several times and am a local. Never been treated so poorly! ambiance who cares??? read more

Good service and a nice atmosphere. It was a beautiful fall day so the front windows were open. Chowder was delicious and the lobster salad sandwich was good. Husband had the seafood platter and thought it was overpriced for the quantity of food. read more

Food excellent; service friendly and attentive; ambience hip and upscale, but not pretentious.

The meals are ordered were well prepared and ready in a relatively short time. The server was attentive and pleasant. After we were served, she came by our table to make sure we were satisfied with our meals. The restaurant was clean and well kept. There was plenty of room separating the tables so we weren't falling over each other. Nice place to come back to. read more

Food was excellent. Ambiance was excellent has well. The staff were very nice. Drinks were great!

The food was great and Bloody Mary excellent! Nice location and our waitress was awesome. We tried the Breeze on vacation.

But if a mixed review here. We've been here twice. In the first visit we left before seating as the noise volume was off the charts. Bar located against the windows causes loud bar conversation to reflect back into seated restaurant. They may want to consider sound barrier between bar and seated area (glass partition). Next visit was quieter because of few bar patrons. The service and food was excellent. read more

Our first visit. Great menu variety. Good quality food. A bit pricey but generous portions. Nice decor and atmosphere. Excellent service by Alexa, our server. read more

So this is a tangled web, atmosphere is amazing your server (Lexi) was fantastic. Dry rub wings as an appetizer were very tasty. Wife got the packo haddock, not a disappointment. I got the filet sandwich which was melt in my mouth good. But here comes the other side, they hands down have the most terrible French fries. They try to sell it off as "new" oil, but that's not here nor there. But Lexi addressed it immediately and in the end, I will recommend this establishment, the spicy margaritas I strongly recommend. read more

Food was great. Service was friendly but a tad slow. We ate tapas style, 3 apps for 2 people and it was a perfect amount of food. We got the kale dumplings, the calamari, and the poke wonton nachos. All were delicious, though the nachos were a little hard to eat to keep the tuna on the chips. read more

Ordered take out for hamburger cooked medium. Came home with food and hamburg was raw. Pouring rain so not going back to return it.

food was good and my bartender Meghan was polite full of smiles and amazing as usual!
