The Coe House

G & G · 07-24-2006, 09:22 AM

Good Morning

What a beautiful day at the Lake. I am definately taking my time going back to work in MA. I heard this weekend that The Coe House has reopened. Is this true?

Wow - I hope so. Still one of my all-time favorites at the lake.

anyone know what is happening with the coe house and the building

beaner · 01-15-2007, 10:32 PM

We drove by The Coe House around 6:45 last Saturday night . We noticed the cupola was lit up and there was a Christmas candle in each of the windows, but the restaurant was definitely closed.

I heard that the Coe House will reopen at the end of April with new owners. Both of the reported owners own successful local businesses and have experience in the restaurant business. From what I know I'm very optimistic that this will be a great addition to the area. If it flies do you think Center Harbor can support both Canoe and the Coe House through the winter? As a full time resident I would love for both to prosper!

Who are the new owners??

Lucky2Bhere · 02-26-2007, 09:19 PM

I believe the food end of the business will be handled by the owner of the Holderness country store who worked for the Common Man many years! My wife says the prepared food is great at the country store.

joann721 · 02-27-2007, 09:00 AM

I heard that the owners are the same people that own the Home Comfort store next door. That they are going to incorporate their furnishings into the restaurant and have build a restaurant around it. I do not know who the chef is.... that their is also an outside investor... the name was told to me but I had never heard it before and "sorry" I dont remember it...

Lucky2Bhere · 02-27-2007, 09:11 AM

That's exactly what I heard. There is a sign at the Holderness Country Store that says " see you at the Coe House. So it's a partnership between these two parties.

SAMIAM · 02-27-2007, 03:04 PM

Lucky,you're information is pretty much right on.Both of the new owners have very strong restaurant experience and I guess Luke will turn it into a showplace with his decorating skills.Sorry ,I can't give you any clues about the new menu,but knowing John, it should be very interesting.

phoenix · 02-28-2007, 08:10 AM

to Lucky's other comment add Lemon Grass and Kevin's also so four really good restaurants within one mile can they all make it through the winter. I hope so as a summer person only so that there are more great options for eating

SALTYDOG · 02-28-2007, 05:55 PM

I am so glad that Luke and Ann have a part of this! Should be great! The Coe House was never a first choice,too loud inside food was just OK. Keeping my fingers crossed no common man ****! Again looking forward to a great new place to go! Best of luck see you in the summer!

Lucky2Bhere · 02-28-2007, 09:09 PM

Sorry Salty,
When I joined this forum it was to share info with all who cared about the lakes region. I don't think individuals should be criticized or cut down in public in this space. Personaly I enjoyed the food at the Coe house and the ex-chef has gone from 51 Mill St, to Canoe, to "O" (all with glowing reviews). The restaurant was created with incredible attention to detail and its only problem was going seasonal. The Common Man has it's place too, but I'm happy that Center Harbor is dominated by a unique group of chef/owners. Don't forget that the grand-daddy here is the VK and I love breakfast!

I have personally called Common Man and told them that they should respond to this forum. Their restaurants have become mediocre (at best) and management plainly does not care. Everyone has their opinions about who is good and who is not. This is an open forum and everyone is free to express their opinion...good or bad.

Just my 2 cents

I am so happy that the Coe House will be reopening. I enjoyed eating there and it was a loss when they shut down. I agree with Saltydog that there are enough Common Man restaurants in the area. New blood is good for the entire business as it demands that standards are kept high. It's also great to have so many good restaurants in Center harbor.

Lucky2Bhere · 04-08-2007, 08:20 PM

The "new" Coe House is opening late April from what I hear. The atmosphere and decoration is definitely upgraded and the food should be at least as good as before. It will be fun to find out!

phoenix · 04-09-2007, 07:59 AM

let us all know after you try the place

fatlazyless · 04-09-2007, 10:34 AM

I'd probably feel like a weirdo eating there by myself, plus it's way too expensive for me. (Lightbulb-idea-flash)....hey.....any wealthy, hi-energy, physically fit-good looking' 40's or low 50's rich widows out there want to take me out to the new and improved Coe House for it's reopening? Will shave and shower and wear a clean shirt!

Yeah, that's right, something like Carmen Diaz and John Candy!

rrr · 04-09-2007, 04:46 PM

Now let me get this straight - fatlazyless is looking for thinenergeticmore?

beancover · 05-15-2007, 04:38 PM

Has anyone tried it since it opened under new ownership? Inquiring minds want to know. Please post.
