OUR MENUS
In our summer season, our lunch menu offers options ranging from soups and salads to sandwiches and full entrees, with several vegetarian options as well as items that can be made gluten free. We’ve received rave reviews for everything from our grilled cheese to our lobster roll! Our dinner menu highlights some of the luncheon favorites, along with a few heartier options for guests to enjoy while listening to music on the terrace.
OUTDOOR SEATING
Outdoor seating on our terrace offers views of Lake Winnipesaukee and the surrounding mountains. There are few other restaurants in the Lakes Region that offer the views comparable to those you’ll find from our Terrace. And if the weather isn’t ideal for outdoor seating, rest assured – we have tables inside as well! The interior of the building has remained relatively untouched and guests can dine indoors, in what were once the original horse stalls.
OTHER DINING OPTIONS ON SITE
If you’re not quite looking for a full meal, stop by Cones in the Clouds by Shannon Pond. We serve Gifford’s Ice Cream, bottled beverages and light snacks. Cones in the Clouds is open 11:30pm-5:00pm seasonally and depending on the weather.
RESERVATIONS
During our busy season (August & Fall Foliage) we can have a wait-list of up to an hour. We do not take reservations for lunch, so we highly suggest arriving early, especially if you have a large party.
