Manor On Golden Pond - Holderness

I've been visiting the Manor for many years, and it has never let me down. The food, service, and staff are all exceptional.

We enjoyed a truly romantic evening dining by a crackling fire. The salmon and beef tenderloin entrees were cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious, while the mulled apple cider sorbet made for a delightful finishing touch. The service was top-notch. We also had breakfast the following morning, and the pumpkin sourdough French toast was fantastic! We will definitely be coming back.

The atmosphere was calm and pleasant, making it a nice place to relax. There weren't any children around, so it might not be the best choice for families. The food was excellent. However, the service was a bit unusual. Our waitress seemed to overlook us on a few occasions and came off as somewhat rude. Additionally, we witnessed her having a disagreement with another waitress right in front of the diners, which felt out of place for the restaurant's vibe. I believe that a different waitress could have greatly improved our experience.

We have been coming to the Manor on and off for the past fifteen years. The setting is still wonderful but the service was poor. I think she was the chef's mother!! Took no criticism regarding the meal and never heard what we had to say. The spaetzle was horrible. Dry, cold and had obviously been sitting in the pan since the prep time. They were hard pieces of paste. The stake was of mediocre quality and the risotto soupy and overly cooked. Very disappointing. But mostly the waitress could use a good dose of Disney school and should really know the menu rather than running to the kitchen to get answers to the guests question. The setting is really romantic but the experience is overpriced and not of good quality.

We really enjoyed our dinner. The good was very good from appetizers to dessert! It is a lovely setting, and the service was friendly and good as well. We will definitely go back! We have been dining in the Lakes Region for over 20 years and believe our meal here was one of our best.
