Newfound Lake Inn

The place itself is gorgeous but I wasn't impressed by my experience. I came for dinner with some friends and requested to sit on the upper deck. The tables and chairs are super comfortable and there is a great view of the lake. I would recommend stopping in for a drink, but maybe skip the food.

Drink menu - limited selection. Decent pricing.

Food menu - limited selection. Pricy.

Service - Our waitress was great, at first but quickly because MIA and brought out a side of sauce 20 minutes after we asked for it, and when our plates were already empty (awkward!). It would have been fine but she made it awkward and then it felt like she was avoiding us after that.

Food - The food was also lackluster. There was no free bread or starter to get the night going, which is always disappointing. Then we had mixed reviews on food. The prime rib was good but the lobster scampi was tasteless. I will give credit to them on the amount of lobster in the dish (there was a ton!) but they need to add some lemon or something. It just tasted like buttered noodles.

The service here is amazing, along with a beautiful decor! All the great updates to this place have done wonders for the place. The food is very presentable but I think a bit more money and care needs to go towards the food, tried the brunch and wasn't good but I wrote it off as being a one time thing. I then went to a dinner with my husband and grandfather (which my grandfather thinks everything it edible) he said his bourbon salmon tasted like they squirted fake syrup on it and called it bourbon. My husband's scampi tasted straight like wine. My food was a filet and it was tough which I have never heard of.

We enjoyed an excellent meal on Friday night, our server Shyla did a great job, and our food was very tasty. We also enjoyed the music provided by Carroll Brown, Jr. 'The Solitary Man.' We'll definitely return!

Your experience and stay here likely depends on what type of room you are able to book. We were guests at the Inn for a wedding; the stay required a two night minimum which was frustrating, but given the season we understood. Unfortunately we were given a disappointing room for a steep price. It came with a squeaky bed, no hangers for our clothes, and the world's smallest bathroom. Good thing I'd shaved my legs at home because there was no way it was happening in the shower stall.

I think a couple improvements to the decor and furnishings would make this a more comfortable room: full length mirror, quiet bed, better chair, usb outlet near the bed... I know there's a certain charm that comes with staying in an inn but for the steep price it needs to be comfortable and have these simple amenities.

Room aside, the property is lovely. The enormous deck was inviting and great for an early morning cup of coffee. The staff was incredibly kind and eager to please. The drinks were cheap and strong. And the view can't be beat. We had a great time at our friends' wedding, held in the barn on site, and found the food and drinks to be delicious.

The Newfound Lake Inn was given a new life. The owner spared no expense. It is truly a work of art with old school charm and elegance.

We are in the downstairs bar. Very cosey with great views of the lake.

The fish and chips I had was second to none. My wife had the salmon, cooked to perfection. The filet mignon was a delight, cooked to order. Halibut was a good size and again cooked as it should be.

For a special occasion this is a place where you will be completely satisfied.

Bravo to the chef!

Great place for dinner or drinks on the roof top bar. Went to the Newfound Lake Inn for the 4th of July festivities. The kids had a great time on the bouncy house slide, face painting and making ballon animals. The adults enjoyed the artist doing caricatures, music, dancing and adult beverages. After we enjoyed the outdoor activities we spent some time in the restaurant and roof bar. The service was great, the food and beverage was great and we enjoy the view of the lake from the deck and roof top bar. If you are traveling in the Bristol or Newfound Lake areas in suggest you visit the Newfound Lake Inn.

Visiting family in the area, we came for dinner with a large group of 13. Very cozy and inviting atmosphere, bar area cozy. Very clean and inviting. We sat in a separate dining room because of our party size. It was a Friday evening and they had live music in the bar area, which I would like to say I enjoyed, but we were in a separate room. Server was friendly and attentive. There was not a lot of people in the restaurant so I would have to say the service was really really slow. We waited a really long time for appetizers and probably 45 minutes or more for entrees. Then 12 out of the 13 entrees came out but our host had to wait another 5 minutes or more for his salmon to come out. It was poorly timed, rude and uncomfortable to say the least because we all felt bad that he didn't have his plate while EVERYONE else did. So most of us waited while our food got cold waiting for his meal to come out. Very poor form in my opinion. My husband ordered his filet rare, it was well done. But he didn't complain because of how long it took for the food to come out. We had the short rib nachos and bbq chicken flatbread as appetizers, both were very mediocre at best. I had the chicken Marsala with ravioli (which to me was a weird combo to begin with), but I haven't had Marsala in eons so it sounded good. It soooo wasn't good at all. It was super sweet, and I can't figure out why because Marsala has no sugar in it, but this one was sweet and not great. Frozen pre-made ravioli, in a wannabe sweet Marsala sauce. The chicken paillard in the Marsala was actually perfectly made, but the ravioli was sub par and the super sweet Marsala was not good. Overall, service was friendly but slow, poorly timed and food quality was definitely lacking. Would I dine here again, probably not. Would I stop by for a drink, definitely. Might even try a stay at the INN next time I come to town, but would definitely plan on having dinner elsewhere.

Super accommodating establishment. Needed last-minute reservation, and I'm so glad they made it happen for us. The buildout is top shelf, and the views of the lake are amazing. Michele , the events manager, was nothing but the best, from booking our reservation to checking on us frequently throughout our time there. We will definitely be making this our new spot. And for all you prime rib eaters, you will be super pleased!!!

I'm currently at the restaurant and had the worst service and salmon I've ever had. The salmon was so dry it was like tuna out of a can and I couldn't swallow it. The manager came up asked questions and didn't even comp
the $32 salmon. Sadly won't come back here. Great spot. Not great food.

This is a truly wonderful Inn. We came up to snowboard with family at Ragged Mountain. The accommodations at the Inn were very nice. The Tavern is exceptional! The food and the atmosphere for dining were great. The food itself was excellent and well presented. Clearly evident was the effort to make the place comfortable. Despite some ongoing construction making further improvements, there was no interruption in services provided. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Looking forward to coming back during the summer season.
