Excellent Dining on the South Shore of the Lake

[Smokienorm]

I have not seen any mention recently of two of our favorites:

T-Bones, in Laconia, and the Lyons Den, in Gilford.

T-Bones is part of a very small NH-based chain and their food has always been excellent. They also have an unusually generous frequent diner rewards program. Steaks, fresh seafood, fresh everything- wings, soups, ribs, etc. Good bar and bar crowd as well. Tex-Mex style food downstairs in Cactus Jack's- also good. Overlooks the Lake, next to Friendly's in Laconia.

Lyons Den in Gilford has excellent food and service, as well as a very active bar scene. Their roasted boneless duck is usually one of their regular specials and is outstanding. Hidden away near the Marine Patrol dock. Very accommodating staff and chef.
