Lavinia's Relaxed DiningA Center Harbor GemMy husband and I dined at this location a couple of times when it was The Coe House. We thought we would try it under the new name/ownership. We were already familiar with the ambience and charm of this restaurant, so were happy to see that this element had not changed. We found the menu selection, the food quality and the service, by both our server and the manager, to be spot on. It is a little pricey but well worth it for a special occasion. I highly recommend a visit to this historical treasure!6/10/2013 12:00:00 AMWe love Lavinia's. Love theWe love Lavinia's.

They even let us explore the old house - early 1800's I think.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMMake the trip to Lavinias!Why did we wait so long to go to Lavinias? There were plenty of options for our gluten free friends. The menu offerings varied in price so you could choose a light inexpensive meal or go "all out!" All of our food was exceptional. Kudos to Jeff Wooley and the kitchen. Service was attentive and thoughtful. The meal was definitely worth the 30 minute drive and we will be going again soon. I'm so glad the owner changed from the more formal Coe House to the more relaxed Lavinias!5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMThe waitress did forget toThe waitress did forget to bring a requested glass of wine.
