Red Hill Dari

[ishoot308]

We had friends visiting this weekend and one of them wanted to go to the quilt shop in Center Harbor. We went by boat and also wanted to have lunch in Center Harbor while there. We had two dogs with us so our choices were somewhat limited. We decided on the Red Hill Dari because of their outdoor seating. Having never been there I had no idea what to expect. What a wonderful surprise! The food was plentiful and fabulous and the service was quick! Three of us had lobster rolls with rings and fries and it was delicious! Two others had the Haddock boat which is smaller than the plate. Two huge pieces of of lightly breaded and fried haddock were served. I tried it and the haddock was as good as it gets. I can only imagine the amount of food that must be served on their plates.

You won't go wrong at the Red Hill Dari! It's just a short walk from the Center Harbor docks! Give it a try!

I also think the fried clams there are very good.

Stopped here last summer for the first time, food was "ok"
Figured I would try it again a couple weeks ago and see it hasn't improved.
Two of us ordered the small size scallop plate. The scallops appeared to be larger ones cut down into bite size nuggets. They were absolutely tasteless! And looked like they were cooked in last seasons grease.they were also very rubbery and just as last year the soda tasted like.. Well, I don't know! Not soda, plenty of fizzz but no taste to it.
Sad to say but, I had seafood at Red Lobster in Colorado that tasted better!
This is now on my "stay away" list just like the Weathervane in the Weirs..

Why would any restaurant cut large scallops into bite-size nuggets?

[Jonas Pilot]

That's what I do when I want them to cook at the same time.

Wow! I'm sympathetic that you did not receive the 5-star meal you were looking for. May I recommend McDonalds for your next meal?

@JP...I see your point as a home cook; I just thought it would not be cost effective for a restaurant, as the smaller scallops would be less expensive and it would take someone's time to cut up the larger. Admittedly, restaurant management not my area of expertise.

There is no better place around Winnipesaukee for fried clams than the Red Hill Dari and their other fare is top shelf too.

[Jonas Pilot]

I'm not familiar with buying bulk. I just know they all need to be close in size to be cooked uniformly.

Are you sure you didn't get bay scallops That's scallops not scal-ops. New England sound not NY.

I completely agree with the lack of quality here. Service is always good, but the food is always below average. I was hoping to try it again this summer, though it sounds as if I am not missing much. My last trip to Red Hill was last August, and it was awful. I make the drive to Gilford and have never been disappointed.
