The Dining Room Review

You'd be hard-pressed to find a larger or grander dining room in New Hampshire (only the Balsams can compare). The Mount Washington Hotel's enormous octagonal dining room, built in 1902, is adorned with Currier & Ives reproductions, Tiffany glass, chandeliers up the wazoo, massive windows that open to the Presidential Range, and a nightly musical trio. This may be the only restaurant in the state that requires a jacket (except in winter); if you forgot yours, they have about 30 you can borrow. Try seasonal dishes such as seared haddock and shrimp fricassee, lemon lobster ravioli with shrimp and scallops, or roast pork with onions and mushrooms. The Dining Room offers a "Gold Sash Dinner" at a chef's table with a customized menu and wine pairings.
