We had such a nice time. Friendly service. Food arrived fast and was truly delicious. Atmosphere and the lake view is wonderful. We loved the scallop and pork belly appetizer.

Dinner is amazing. Lunch is a little meh. + good dinner portions + one of our favorite dinner places in Northern NH, we've never had a bad dinner + lots of options for many different eaters - the lunch menu is disappointing & portions are small Highly recommend: - duck - wings - PB trifle Steer clear of: - wasabi eggs

We went there in mid-October and the place had a gorgeous view of the lake and the mountain with fall colours at the back. The food was tasty and the staff was very polite and helpful.

The lake is always a great view, no matter the weather. The food is always yummy and the staff is friendly and provide great service. Love the addition of the beach bar, and the recent renovations.

The food here was really good! Really enjoyed the coconut mussels, the honey Sriracha wings, and the crispy half duck were great. The clam chowder was solid as well. Our waitress was great, over all a good experience. Recommend coming here if you're in the area

The restaurant is very popular on the weekend, if you do not want to wait, a weeknight would be an easier time to get a table. Parking is mostly limited to street parking. The restaurant has really nice seasonal decorations giving an inviting vibe. If you come before dark, there's a nice view of the lake. The ahi tuna wontons were a good appetizer with a nice wasabi aioli drizzled over with the sweetness of the seaweed salad. The steak tip salad had a really nice dressing and a good portion of steak. There was a little too much gorgonzola cheese that overpowered the flavor for my tastes. The seafood paella was really good with a good amount of seafood overall, it did only come with one shrimp.

This was a our first visit after hearing about Walter's for several years and we were not disappointed. The setting is awesome and we sat at one of the tables near the window and had a great view of the lake, boats coming and going as well as the mountains in the distance. Also a great view of the sites where "On Golden Pond" was filmed. The service was great and our waitress was very patient with our party as we had one "finding it hard to choose from so many items" - LOL. The food was fresh, made to order and everyone was very happy with their choices. The desserts looked awesome but none of us had room. I, for one, will plan better and save room for dessert!!! I highly recommend that you visit Walter's when you are anywhere near the Lakes Region. We will return at least one more time before we head back south. Visit and enjoy!!!

The staff here are the best. So friendly and good at their jobs. The food is fresh. So fresh that I took 1/2 of my Cobb salad home and it was still crispy and green and flavorful the next day. The rosemary fries are to die for. Everything is good. Our out of town friends love the clam chowder and lobster rolls
