Manor On Golden Pond - Holderness

I've been going to the Manor for many years and not once has it been disappointing. The food, service and staff are top notch.

A most romantic evening dining in front of a roaring fire. The salmon and beef tenderloin entrees were perfectly cooked and delicious and the mulled apple code sherbet was the perfect finishing touch. The service was first class. We also had breakfast the next morning and the pumpkin sourdough french toast was fantastic! We'll be back.

It was quiet with a nice ambience. Not a kid in sight so probably not kid friendly. Food was great. Service was odd. Our waitress seemed to forget us a couple of times and was a tad rude. She also had words with another waitress in front of all in the dining room. Didn't seem in character with the restaurant. My feeling is that with a different waitress, our experience would have been better.

We have been coming to the Manor on and off for the past fifteen years. The setting is still wonderful but the service was poor. I think she was the chef's mother!! Took no criticism regarding the meal and never heard what we had to say. The spaetzle was horrible. Dry, cold and had obviously been sitting in the pan since the prep time. They were hard pieces of paste. The stake was of mediocre quality and the risotto soupy and overly cooked. Very disappointing. But mostly the waitress could use a good dose of Disney school and should really know the menu rather than running to the kitchen to get answers to the guests question. The setting is really romantic but the experience is overpriced and not of good quality.

We really enjoyed our dinner. The good was very good from appetizers to dessert! It is a lovely setting, and the service was friendly and good as well. We will definitely go back! We have been dining in the Lakes Region for over 20 years and believe our meal here was one of our best.
