Your Favorite Special Occasion Restaurants in the Lakes Region
 

We're new to the area and have yet to learn the local restaurant lay of the land. Where do you go for milestone birthdays, anniversaries and such? Pretend that your rich Uncle is picking up the tab.

Lake Estate
 

The Lake Estate on Winnisquam.

The Italian Farmhouse on Rt 3 on the south side of Plymouth above Exit 24, or for a really big event like a wedding,The Barn on the Pemi. Both venues are unusually excellent and out of the ordinary!

I've not been to any of these places myself (above my teacher pay grade!), but these are often discussed favorably on the forum for nicer/better experiences: The Lake Estate, which is the newest "special" place in the area; The Woodshed, which may be the longest-standing "celebration" place in the area, but with mixed history and reviews; and O, which consistently gets high ratings for quality.

Not often mentioned here, but this place is one of the most unique in the area:

Newfound Inn, Van Horne at Squam, O's comes to mind. Other places are too busy to be a favorite. Lake Estate if you have money to burn.

For our anniversary we prefer the Hotel Grand View in Whitefield. Stonehurst Manor in N. Conway is another.

We did like the new Junction restaurant in Lakeport. Just need more experience.

O's steak and seafood is my favorite restaurant, never had a bad experience there. I've been to most of them but haven't been to the Lakehouse yet.
Looking forward to the new restaurant in Meredith at the old Phu Gee site.

Thank You!
 

Thank you for all the recommendations. It's a milestone birthday for my husband and since we're going to be new there, we won't have anyone to celebrate with so I want to go somewhere nice. I'll read all the menus and pick a place that he will like.
