The Whittier House Quick Review

We visited the Whittier House Restrarant on Rt. 16 in Ossipee, NH last Saturday evening. Here is a quick review from what I can remember.

This is a very large restruant (especially for this area) with plenty of parking that can accomodate large crowds. The front entrace hall is large and has plenty of room for waiting. In fact even though the resturant was only about 1/2 full we ended up waiting a good 10-15 minutes. We did have a party of 10 though but the tables we sat at were empty for the longest time.

We ordered 2 items of onion rings for an appetizer. These were very good and didn't last long on the table.

For dinner, I had the Chicken Monterey. It came with a very small salad that was good (but don't plan on sharing). Dinner rolls were provided for each member of the party. The portions were of a good size. The Chicken Monterey could of had a bit more garlic and flavor. Especially for the price tag of $16.99. There was a good amount of chicken provided and the portion size was good as I had leftovers for the next day. My wife had a cheese steak sub which came with french fries for $7.99. This was not good at all. It was dry and not warm at all.

The service was good (not great). The waitress seemed to be overwhelmed (even though it wasn't that busy) and mixed up the drink order but she did accomodate us by fixing this without questions asked.

From the bar: The raspberry margaritta that our friend order was just OK. The drink order from another party member was inconsistent. Strong and much better with the second order.

Overall, for dinner the prices are rather high for entrees and the food is good (not great). I hear that the Breakfast Buffet is VERY good. Next year, I would really like to try that out.

We went with some good friends so overall we had a good time and the 5 kids that we were with were basically good so we can't complain too much!

Overall grade for dinner: B-
