The Inn is beautiful. The food was fantastic. There are a lot of decent family restaurants in Sunapee but there are not a lot of fine dining restaurants. We were pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food! The Chef came out to chat with us and check on the food. We enjoyed it immensely and look forward to the next time we are in the he area.

This was a rare dining experience when all five courses (and surprises before and after) were without flaw.

The food was outstanding especially the Fillet of Beef. A bit more food for the appetizer and soup would have made it perfect. Thank you for the opportunity to dine on local food!

Thanks for your rating, Linda. We're glad you enjoyed everything. We appreciate your feedback. While it is very rare in restaurants, we do encourage our guests to ask for more soup and appetizers if they so desire. We are happy to provide! TASters of other entrees as well. We want you to experience the food fully. We look forward to your next visit.

Everything was superb. Only one tiny complaint ... there was no limoncello to have with my panna cotta.

It is a lovely spot, the food is amazing, I always love the chefs speech. The service from all the staff and the bartender is very professional and genuine! Everything was prepared to perfection. I would like the evening to be a bit shorter, and a little less expensive, that would be my only suggestion.

Thanks for your thoughts Anne. We're glad you enjoyed everything. We do offer a shorter 3-course service in the winter months (mid Nov - mid May) on Wed, Thurs, Sun. It does cost us a bit more than most restaurants to provide farm to table ingredients that support our local farmers. We hope our guests find the quality and freshness with the price. We look forward to your next visit.

I’d only gave it a 3 for ambiance. Nice view of the lake, but the dining room was dull and quite noisy. I had a hard time hearing. I would strongly recommend that they put rugs on the floors. Service would get a 4. Although serving was efficient, they neglected to ask if we wanted the wine pairing at the beginning, even after we requested a wine list, which we had to request 2x. Food: I though the soup, lamb and dessert were delicious, but that the salad was lacking. Not enough beets and mozzarella and greens were on the bitter side. Value: Gave it a 4. I thought food was fairly priced; however, I thought the wines pairing was grossly overpriced, as was my Pinot.

We're pleased you generally enjoyed dinner. On decor, we opted for a minimalist approach with focus on the table/food, views, and the micro-gallery to help support our local art community. We did have sound dampening panels installed on the ceiling which help a lot. Our wine pairing is designed for match with food flavors, and provide access to wines that would otherwise be hard to find by the glass. We do have a range of options that meet most price points. Will review service. Thanks!

Oak and Grain is an experience not just a meal. Chef comes out before the meal and describes the menu including where it is sourced and how it’s prepared. Food is locally sourced and prepared to perfection. There is a choice of entree in the tasting menu. There is always a vegetarian option and Chef is creative with allergies. The wine pairings were excellent. Ambiance in the Inn is cozy and comfortable. Service is attentive and friendly. This is the best restaurant in the area

I want to give huge kudos for the staff at Oak & Grain. We have a service animal, and they made sure to make us feel equally welcomed as any other guests. Seems like a silly thing to point out, but it sure meant a lot to us. I’m also severely allergic to seafood and the chef made sure not only to exclude all allergens, but to substitute problematic ingredients with equally delicious ones. Didn’t feel like I missed out on anything, absolutely superb. Friendly staff, warm atmosphere, a wonderful visit to NH topped off by a culinary experience. Thank you for making a family weekend that much more special.
