Is the Owl's nest open during the winter? Also, could you get there by snowmobile?

Owl's Nest doesn't appear to be open. I called and the phone is disconnected.

Does Patricks do a Sunday Brunch or anything? I looked on line and didn't see anything but I rememeber getting a good breakfast in the restaurant across the street in B.Maes parking lot a few years back. I can't remember the name.
FYI if you find yourself on the opposite side, Buckey's will start serving breakfast mid March. I am looking forward to that. |

Heading up to the Lake and was wondering if Owl's Nest is now open or when they'll open. Have they gone out of business. Also didn't noticed on Bizer's latest map of places to go by boat. There was a lot of talk about the restaurant last year.

Owl's nest opened last week I think, both the store and the (breakfast only?) restaurant in back.

Owl's Nest has a dock. Directly across from Diamond Island. It is not very large. Someone kept a 'toon on one side last year.

The dock has a large "yellow" sign. It has a slightly different name on it. Dock has spots for two and has tires for bumpers. Walk up path to restaurant.
Was over there Saturday afternoon after putting boat in water. They have a new chef and they have a buffet on Saturday's & Sunday's. Starting this week they will be open all week. Dave M |

if your looking for a good breakfast you should check out Ames Farm. You can get there by boat or car, and the service is great

We have eaten at a place that I think is called Sunshine & Pa's a couple of times and they've got a great breakfast. I know you said in Gilford, but S & P's is right in downtown Meredith, not a far ride from Gilford for a good breakfast (a great place to go by boat). You probably have to go early though, i've seen the line out the door on more than one occasion (a sure sign of good food).
I really miss a place I used to go in Alton when I was a kid. The place was called "Mel and Sallies". It was right next to the old Alton pavillion and man they had the best home made toast, and some really cute waitresses. ![]() |

We love Ames Farm breakfast. We haven't been yet this year, but it is a great spot. (Be sure to check out all the old photos and pictures on the walls)

Went over too Ames for the first time last week, was looking around but couldnt find a place to dock. I saw the docks to the left and right of the 2 ramps but they all had names on them. Are there docks just for the restaurant? and were is the restaurant? is it across the street?

Does anyone remember Mel & Sally's fish chowder? It was the best I have ever had to this day. However, they would not give up the recipe unless you were willing to buy the place.

Finally Kitchen cravings is open at the laconia airport
( in the old bank building). wow, there was a long waiting line but it moved quickly, Bill and sally (husband and wife) are long time restaurant and hospitality people and they are doing it up right!!!! It is open for breakfast and lunch- terrific menu. I liked the waitstaff- not stuffy- and if you had any questions Sally was table hopping helping everyone. I was in and out very fast. The decor is something to realy take time to look at;photos of historic things of gilford. It is a winner!!!!! best of luck to 2 hard working people!!!!!!! |

The Family Tree Restaurant (and Ice Cream Parlor, according to their sign) is a new place located about a half mile west of the mosquito bridge (across Lake Winnisquam). It's in the building most recently occupied by two different bar/restaurants (Zacks then Friends Tavern, if I remember correctly). On the recommendation of a family member, I've been there twice already and the food is quite good. During my last visit, a friend I ran into said the people from Paulie's Diner in Tilton are running the place. So far I've had one of their Benedicts and one of their scramble specials, both of which were very good. They also offer home fries topped with sauteed peppers, onions, etc. plus cheese (which my wife loved) and homemade donuts, at least on the weekend. Have not tried them for lunch, but maybe soon.
Seems like the lakes region is having a breakfast restaurant revival lately, with this place joining Kitchen Cravings and Waldo Peppers as our other new breakfast options. ![]() |

Wifey & I had breakfast at Kitchen Cravings Wed. AM. The place has a nice homey feeling to it, with lots of Winnipesaukee and flying memorabilia on the walls (check out the picture hooks). Prices are in line with other restaurants with the exception of coffee - 75 cents (a deal!) Breakfast fare is good with great spicy sausage links and english muffins made in coffee cans. We will be returning...
