Hello Greenskeeper. We'll give the grille a try. Menu and prices looked great.

Interestingly, Gilford was originally spelled Guilford.

Quote:
The privilege of naming the town was afforded to Captain Lemuel F. Gilman, the oldest and most famous citizen. A veteran of the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812, Captain Gilman named the town “Guilford” after the Battle of Guilford Courthouse, a decisive Revolutionary War battle in North Carolina in which he fought. The town was spelled incorrectly in the incorporation documents, resulting in the present spelling of Gilford. Gilford remains the only community in New Hampshire named after a Revolutionary War battle.
Guess a spell checker wouldn't have helped them much
