Restaurant by boat?

depasseg · 04-21-2014, 10:02 PM

Other than town docks (CH, WB, Meredith, Weirs), what are some places to eat by boat? We went to a place years ago near Alton (I forget the name) that had it's own dock.

Are there other restaurants that have their own docks?

You are probably thinking of Shibley's By The Pier which is a great restaurant. David and his staff do a wonderful job. There is also JP China, Dockside Restaurant, Olde Bay Diner and Pop's Clam Shell all within easy walking distance from the town docks.

If you asking about docks directly connected to the restaurant, the Naswa has docks.

I think he may be referring to the old "Owl's Nest" dock

Years ago in Alton, it could have been Oak Birch.

I think it was Shibley's. I'm open to other ideas too!

Thanks,
Greg

I know you mentioned Wolfboro town docks. Wolfboro Inn- Wolfe's Tavern is great but only a few docks though.

If you can fit under the bridge to back bay, the Wolfetrap has docks. They open sometime in May and close for the season late Sept-early Oct depending on the weather (no heat).

Lyons Den at the Glendale docks. One of the best on the lake!

Garwoods in Wolfeboro has their own dock.

I SECOND that .... but if I do it here in the Forum, I will NEVER get a reservation again (too many people now love it)

Give them a call that you arrive by boat. They provide a shuttle service from and to the dock!

I wish the Pine Cones in Melvin Village would do the same!

My wife and I enjoy boating to dinner at Lavinia's in Center Harbor.

sandy Point in Alton Bay has docks but you should call to reserve a spot. An attendant will come down and help you . Great baked king lobsters

Garwoods dock is tiny. It may hold two boats and that is it. I have never found a spot there.

My old 25' Baja fit there nicely on many occasions throughout the years, however, I was the only boat at the dock on most occasions.

Was just at Margate docks this past weekend -- BEWARE - that at the outside edges of both finger slips facing the Bay there are "tri-poles" formerly used to protect the docks from ice flow damage cut just below the water surface.

If the slips are all occupied and you try to drop someone off on the finger slip (as I was attempting) your in for a SURPRISE !

also, I found the interior slips too shallow for my 26'
