Most Romantic Restaurant

winlessinnh · 04-30-2013, 01:43 PM

I've been to almost everyone recommended and I think the only two that would rate as "Romantic" are Mise en Place in Wolfeboro and Manor on Golden Pond.

McDonald's can be with the right person.

I agree. I think that "upscale" doesn't necessarily translate to "romantic."

The last time that it was just two of us at a small table at Lago, it was a busy night and the ambient noise was such that we could barely carry on a conversation. I enjoy sitting at the bar at Lago's on a Friday night...I like the restaurant, but wouldn't call it romantic. I would say that same thing about the Lakehouse.

I would certainly recommend Mise En Place for a romantic dinner, but haven't been to the Manor in maybe 17 or 18 years.

On the other hand, the post below is very true!

There's nothing more romantic than having someone cook you a nice dinner AND do the dishes afterwards.

"It all depends on the day and time" and I like going to Merdith by boat and eating at one of the restaruants there. Lago's is nice too..
My wife and I have been to Lago's and yes its noisy on a Summer Friday-Sat night but go there on a Tuesday evening in August and we were the only ones in there. To each his own..

Our Anniversary dinner is always at Mise En Place. If it was in th middle of summer when the restaurant is filled with tourists it might not be as romantic.

The most romantic restaurant is whichever one I'm at, with the one I love.

Sorry Gourmand --- something got stuck in my throat !!

That's what I tell my wife of 49 years who has been doing just that.

We are not open yet (still little construction going on) but I will throw our hat in the ring on potential ambiance alone. Some serious romantic potential going on.

Will you have docking available for boats coming to eat & drink? If so how many spots will be available? When will you be open??

Hi Dan,
We will have spots for you to pull up on a boat. We have ample transient docks that very easy to pull up to along our main dock "A", it is 233' long. If you are feeling adventurous drop anchor and swim up. We will be open towards the end of the month, with things like call ahead docks side pick up, etc coming in the weeks after. We will have tons of food and drink specials. We will be specializing in seafood, since our chefs are from Surf in Portsmouth, but we also have healthy pub style food too. I am sure Chef Jeff will chirp in on here at some point, this summer. I hope everyone will swing by this summer and check the place out it is truly unique, when the Anona has all her rigging up inside the gazebo.
Thanks
Kurt

Are your chefs formerly of Surf...or are you another MB establishment?

Do you think you'll be open by Memorial Day?

...love love love Fratello's!
The lower, central room is so nice and twice now, my hubby & I have been lucky enough to have been there late, near closing time when the restaurant was nice & quiet and a pianist was playing! It was so nice!
