me and my partner came to Holderness school for homecoming weekend and proctor day and decided to try Walter's on this past Friday night as I remembered coming here when I was in school at Holderness. Everything from the food, to the service to the atmosphere was amazing. We had the sticky ribs to start and then i had the duck and my partner had the braised short ribs. It was some of the best dishes we have ever had. We also had the bread pudding and the pumpkin cheesecake for dessert which both were fabulous. It was so good we decided to comeback this evening. We were, once again, blown away. The staff had remembered us, which made us feel recognized and valued as a guest and then the food was spectacular.

Beautiful view of the lake and fall foliage. We only meant to stop by for drinks and nibble, but the special mushroom ravioli with the butternut squash sauce was so delish that we ordered another round. We also got the beet salad that was lovely and perfectly lightly sauced that one could still enjoy the taste of the lettuce. Cocktails were ok. Chef was fantastic though and would def go back for more if we lived closer (last time I had been there was 10 years ago, and food was def better this time). Waitstaff was also kind and helpful.

I had lunch with my folks over the weekend, we had a beautiful seat on the water but inside, it was perfect atmosphere, very clean, slightly modern, but great view. The service was excellent, very attentive and nice and she went out of her way to get me a gluten free fish sandwich and they fried the fish in a pan for me, but it was terrible, really dry, they shouldn't offer that anymore .. my mother's pork sandwich looked good, she loved it, my dad's burger looked great, I wish I had gotten that.
