Testimonials

We have eaten at Canoe for many years. Recently we held a small wedding reception (60 people) there. The entire wait staff, bartenders, and general manager, Suki, were friendly, personable, and very accommodating. The food, including the charcuterie platter, hot and cold appetizers and the main courses were delicious. Their attention to detail and professionalism made for a very “special and magical day”. Thank you for everything.

We’ve been to the Canoe Restaurant & Tavern in Center Harbor, NH quite a few times over the past several years. Because of the pandemic we chose to utilize their take-out service the past 3 times. Just a few hundred yards away is the town beach, docks and boat ramp which has a very nice view of the lake. We typically park there and enjoy our food. I typically get the Chicken Parmigiana dinner, yet the Kobe burgers have also been good.

I want to give a huge shout out to Patti and Matt at O Bistro! We went for a bachelorette and from the moment we walked in, we were greeted with SO much positive energy and excitement!

We were treated to so much delicious food. There were 7 of us (including a vegan) and not a single person had a complaint (3 appetizers, 7 entrees, and 3 desserts later).

O Bistro exceeded our expectations! We will definitely be back if we are in the area!

Love the place. Patti is the best. Chef Elvis makes creative and delicious meals. I highly recommend it. Our favorite restaurant. We eat there every Saturday. And Kim is bartender extraordinaire! The waitstaff is the best, personable, attentive and knowledgeable. Tables are spaced safely apart. Bar seating and restaurant seating, accommodating parties of different sizes. Five star in every way!

Made a last minute reservation on a Tuesday night and we were not disappointed! Megan our server could not have been more friendly and professional! The Barrel Project on a rock cocktail is not to be missed! The haddock over spinach was a fish & veggie lovers delight! The vegetable risotto -a creative dish! Looking forward to returning.

Pretty atmosphere, warm ambiance, great service, delicious appetizers, meals and drinks. This time I ordered the short rib stroganoff and loved it. Had Asian chicken appetizer as well as the calamari and the pork dumplings and they were all wonderful! Hubby loved his meatloaf and son in law loved his steak that was on special that evening. Great job!

O Bistro used to be one the best kept secrets in town but not anymore! Food is so good and portions are huge. The staff is amazing – Patti simply couldn’t be a nicer or harder working and John at the bar is terrific. We wish you nothing but continued success and we will come back again and again.

Modern and refined, I loved every app, entree, & dessert. (apps: brussels sprouts, orange chicken, bistro chips. entree: fried rice, roasted chicken, fish n chips) and to complete the 5 star experience – a wonderful staff (shout out Matt & Patti!) also, both sangrias 10/10

First time to this establishment and we were more than impressed. The brisket was thick cut and very juicy and flavorful, perfect amount of smoke. The pulled pork was juicy and flavorful even without sauce. The beans here are excellent and possibly the best BBQ beans this traveler has ever had in the states. Jalapeño cornbread was deliciously moist with just the right amount of kick and sweetness. The staff was friendly and experienced. The food prep areas and service areas were impeccably clean even on a busy summer Sunday. Rubbin Butts just moved to the top of my list for premier authentic BBQ in New Hampshire. Well done we will be back.

Among the best in this area. The meals are always very well prepared and tasty.
