One of the specials that we found while reading The Ear—North Conway's weekly newspaper geared towards tourists, was "Two's Day" on Tuesdays. Two meals for $25.00—quite a bargain we thought.
The parking lot was crowded—we were a few minutes early for our 7pm reservation. A friendly host and hostess met us at the door and we were seated immediately. There were hi-top tables in the bar area, and green clothed tables in the dining room. Don't hesitate to accept a hi-top—they are large and seat four comfortably, even for a full dinner.
There is lots of atmosphere—you are immediately made to feel warm and welcome. There are many neat, casually dressed diners—mostly tables of four, and a few families with well behaved children. Neatness and order comes to mind, rather than excitement here. Dark green and burgundy decor, neat slatted wood blinds on the windows with decorator valances and captain's chairs, give the room warmth. Interesting showcases serve as dividers—inside of these are sports and entertainment memorabilia from each of the decades since 1920—interesting conversation pieces.
The specials menu for Tuesdays is extensive—there must have been 20 choices. Of course, steaks of all kinds, prime rib, fillet, delmonico, strip, chicken done a few ways, pastas including fresh clam sauce, fish, stuffed shrimp, pork, and vegetarian choices. Appetizers and salads are listed at additional charges. We chose beef, both the prime rib and delmonico steak were cooked to perfection and served with warm bread, and a choice of baked, mashed, or french fried potatoes. Everyone was served the same vegetable, mashed butternut squash, not terribly innovative!! The portions are large, and many were left with doggy bags. The desserts in the restaurant are for sharing—a brownie sundae could have served four people... but we ate it all!!
Martinis are their specialty drink and they are served in oversized chilled glasses. Their "Two's Day" special is certainly a good value.
