I've eaten there three, maybe four times (a lot for one restaurant for me) and have enjoyed it each time. The food tasted good, the portions were a good size, and the times I was there it was quiet....which I like.

I was at a different Laconia restaurant last week and had a horrible experience - but it was not the fault of the restaurant. A large party of around 12 was at a table near us, maybe 7 adults and 5 kids, and the entire time I was there (they left while I was eating dessert) they were yelling. It was seriously obnoxious. The "adults" were yelling at the kids to be quiet (though I never heard any noise from the kids) and the "adults" were yelling at each other - either when they were disagreeing with each other, or perhaps just out of habit. We had taken a couple out to dinner with us and I was so embarrassed as we had trouble hearing them much of the time. Everyone in the restaurant (including the wait staff) sighed with relief when the party left. They seemed utter oblivious to the ruckus they were making - but also looked like the type of folks who would be offended if approached about their noise (yes, that's my projection...but it would probably be yours too if you saw them).
