Just a wild guess but, If you didn't like the Lyons Den then Patrick's is a step down from that so I doubt it would be to your liking.

I agree exactly with what you say! I have been to the Lyons Den countless times and never once have I had a so so meal or experience. Always excellent food and service....Can't say so much for Canoe.

thinkxingu; Definitely not the norm what you experienced at Lyons Den. Give it another shot!

Just goes to show I have the exact opposite opinion. I have never had a bad meal or bad service at Canoe, although if you do not have reservations you can wait a bit. Also have been to Lyons Den a few times, I love the location and the service is excellent I do find the food just good, not great

I honestly have never heard anyone complain about the Lyons Den until now. As far as Canoe, I did give it 4 tries because I've heard people say good things about it but I've never had a good experience at Canoe so I'm done trying.
All three places, Patrick's, Canoe, and Lyons Den, have been in business for quite a while so they do appeal to a broad range of customer and must be doing something right because they are all busy. It's tough to please everyone but you just have to please enough people to keep the wolves away.

Not complaining. I just think the food is ok not great, given the reviews over the years I guess I expected better. Never said I would not go back and also said I love the spot and the service is excellent. In my opinion there are places with better food at the same price point but you do need a change every so often so I am sure I will stop by again this season.

I was a sports club member for 7 years up until this past January at renewal time. From food to service as well as prices have all taken a nose dive.
Stuffed mushrooms were my go to food at patricks, all I can say is disgusting! They must have changed cooks and or recipes because things have changed amongst other food items there and not for the better!
Pretty sad when each time you go in the bar manager has to be reminded to fix my bill to get the discount after already telling her UPON arrival. What a joke. And god forbid that woman ever smiles, what a crab.
I've ripped them apart on TripAdvisor many times , you think they'd read these reviews and put some effort into fixing the problems.
I'm guessing Alan Beetle and crew are more focused on the stupid indoor golf upstairs. Hope he never opens another restaurant!!

I don't go to Patrick's, our choice (wife and I). Just a correction on your post. Alan Beetle has nothing to do with the Golf Club at Patrick's. The space is leased from Patrick's by one of the pro 's from Laconia. He does a marvelous job with the facility.

Actually, Alan is one of five investors in the upstairs golf club. It is fully managed by a former Pro at Laconia Club, and I concur that he does an exceptional jod. Aside from the co-location, and Alan's partial investment, I don't believe there is any business overlap between Patrick's and the upstairs golf operation. Alan spends very little time managing any aspect of the golf business.

Alan spends an incredible amount of time with community events, and charities. Irrespective of one's local fining preferences, he should be lauded for those efforts.
