High end
Abondante in Meredith
Grille 25 in Moultonboro (they can range from very good to OK)
Canoe in Center Harbor
Coe House in Center Harbor
Lyon's Den in Gilford
Walter's Basin on Squam
Mame's in Meredith for lunch (dinner menu looks good but we haven't tried dinner there)
Haven't been to O's in Lakeport yet but have heard good things and know someone who works there.

Good food, good prices
Buckeys in Moultonboro
Village Kitchen in Moultonboro
Wolfe's Tavern, Garwoods, or Jo Greens for lunch (not down there for dinner so I can't say)

This is obviously not meant to be a comprehensive list. We tend to frequent the area around our house in Moultonborough. We continue to try new places, especially those mentioned on the forum. Some new ones get added to our list and unfortunately some old ones go out of business or go downhill.

I look forward to giving Mis En Place in Wolfeboro a try.

One our biggest beefs lately has been places with good food but foreign wait staff that have difficulty with english. You have to struggle to make yourself understood and sometimes get wrong things. Again, not acceptable for a high end meal, I shouldn't have to work for my meal and then pay for it too. It also prevents chit chat which often can add a pleasant touch to an already nice meal. For example, this summer when we were at the Coe House our waitress was a Criminal Justice student with whom we had a delightful conversation. I would be thrilled to have such a conversation with a person from another country, and have, but they need to have reasonable english skills. Unfortunately many can barely get by.
