    We had a 7:00 PM reservation and the Oxford House Inn is more on a fine dining level. We ordered a bottle of wine and two salads.  Finished our salads and ordered a pasta as a second course — shared—  and we were going to do our entrée and probably dessert and make it a full evening experience. We both dressed nicely for dinner and was expecting an experience. When a pasta dish was served it was 803 and as the waitress was putting down the dish on the table, she informed us that the kitchen closes at 8 o’clock and did we know what we were having for dinner we needed to put our order in immediately ; I indicated that we weren’t sure yet and that we would like to look at the menu again. And when we went to finish our wine the bottle was removed from the table but I believe there was some more in the wine bottle but was never checked just removed. We felt extremely rushed and not welcomed. It was the oddest experience…  hence, we decided to leave and we went into North Conway and had dinner entrées at another restaurant. Please know we have visited this establishment several times over the two decades and have never ever had a problem it was just so unlike this restaurant but also I did tell the hostess on the way out that we weren’t pleased and all she said was I’m sorry

    Our favorite restaurant anywhere. The cuisine is sumptuous, the staff is courteous and professionally attentive, and the view from the Mountain View room is serene and pastoral. A lovely experience in every aspect.

    No formal greeting - maitre de busy on the phone. She never acknowledged us and seemed to be busy barking out orders to the staff the whole time we were there creating an unwelcome and unprofessional ambiance. Food was fine but nothing special. Note on the appetizers “unable to split” seemed anti customer. The server was not able to describe the dishes when asked. Two dishes, one salad and one app was $135 which just seemed expensive. I would suggest working on a welcoming and personal greeting, introduction and staff training.
