O Steaks And Seafood - Laconia

We were here for our first wedding anniversary. I had asked through an open table for a water view and mentioned what we celebrated. We got a water view, but the AC was out and the Restaraunt was unhappy hot. There was also no recognition for our anniversary of my mention online. The food was pretty good and cheap for the price. Would go back.

Lovely spot on the lake, with fantastic food and atmosphere. Always a must when we vacation at the lake. Never disappoints!

We made a reservation for 7:30 and when we got there, we were told that because we made our reservation through open table the same day, we had to still wait for a table. Why bother with a reservation? There were tons of empty tables and we could have at least had a seat assigned to us and order a drink. Also, there were a bunch of tables outside with no one sitting at them. We ordered a drink from the bar and sat at one of those tables. 5 mins later we were asked to move. This is an expensive restaurant, and, they should get their act together. We had to stand around with our drinks for OVER AN HOUR even though we had a reservation and there were TONS OF TABLES EMPTY. 7:30 reservation, I didn't get served dinner till almost 10:00.

O 's was one of my fav spots and I was always confident about bringing guests and business associates to dine there. I made a reservation on OpenTable at the time I wanted and ended up getting a outdoor table. While the view was fantastic as the sun set, services was slow, out of sync and impersonal. Two of our guests complained to the server about the Shrimp Cocktail tasting funny. The server didn 't seem to care and walked away. An overcooked steak arrived at the table and the server said it was probably cooked as ordered by the lighting made it look overcooked. My Thai seafood special was terribly salty, the mac and cheese side was bland, the replacement steak came undercooked and very salty and the duck was overcooked as well.

When we want a special treat, we always think of one of Scott Ouellette's great dining establishments. Whether it be O Steaks and Seafood in Laconia, O Concord or Canoe in Center Harbor (all our faves) it is pretty much guaranteed to be great food and great service. Our recent experience at O in Laconia was just that. The food was delicious, the service we received from our server, Courtney, was just right and the ambiance of the restaurant was fantastic! The couple we met for dinner are old friends and they brought along their two school age children. Courtney was kind and very helpful, answering their questions and helping out with special requests. All in all, just a great evening out with friends, enjoying great food and company!
