Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Laconia

Perfect location for mom’s 90th birthday! The staff was very accommodating and made it very special for all of us. Highly recommend and can’t wait to go back!

Buckley's is well known in our region as one of the better places to dine, especially if one seeks a good steak. We were not disappointed. I got the sugar cured strip loin and my dining partner ordered the filet mignon. Both cooked precisely as we preferred (medium well). The preliminaries (bread with olive oil, a salad for my dining partner) were tasty without being too filling. The core meal was delicious. The server (Laura) was attentive and friendly. She muffed my beer order but I am not very picky -- she ended up crediting us anyway. Two of the five dessert offerings were sold out; we settled for the blueberry crisp, and it was excellent.

First experience here, was amazing! Holly was our server and she was great! timely, experienced, and very nice all around! Thank you Holly, we will be back with a few friends for sure! Food was very good as well! Service a huge plus! all around Great!

We finally made it to Massimo into our daughter’s second year at UNH. Worth the wait. Literally my dinner was so good it melted in my mouth. I had the squash ravioli to start then the halibut in the the richest/ lightest/ most heavenly artichoke lemony caper broth… i will Not forget this dinner or the adorable ambiance downstairs. The bolognese was also a hit with my husband and daughter. Can’t wait to go back and maybe try the upstairs' next time. Perfect spot for lucky valentine diners tonight.

My guest and I celebrated early for Valentines Day. Loved that Hanover has free valet parking. We engaged Matt for a few minutes which he seemed happy to do. We had a relaxing drink at the bar before going to our table. Our server Sydney was excellent. She did all she could to please us. The bread basket was delivered and had a great choices but for us the best was the flat bread. Slightly charred and crispy. We ordered the burrata app. It is an outstanding array of Italian cold cuts, toasted sliced baguettes, jam and arugula. My guest then had the special which was cod topped with lobster along with boiled potatoes and asparagus. She loved it. I had the pork chop which came just as I ordered it, medium rare. Really top notch. I substituted fries for mashed potatoes but got both anyway. The fries are thicker than I prefer but still pretty good. Highly recommend the burrata and pork chop.
