Wolfeboro Restaurants Worth Savoring Every Season

Dining is an essential part of the Pickering House experience and Samuel Avery’s Tavern brings something distinctive to the growing collection of Wolfeboro restaurants. Located next door to the House, the restaurant pairs the warmth of a welcoming tavern with an intimate, refined atmosphere and seasonally inspired cuisine.

Under the direction of Chef Brian, Avery’s serves thoughtfully prepared, made-from-scratch dishes that showcase fresh regional ingredients and the flavors of each season. The menu changes frequently, giving returning guests new reasons to dine with us while maintaining a focus on craftsmanship, balance and elevated simplicity.

Guests exploring Wolfeboro NH restaurants can begin with creative small plates such as beef tenderloin steak tartare, jumbo lump crab cakes, crispy Brussels sprouts or sesame-crusted ahi tuna. Larger plates may include pan-seared Maine diver scallops, braised free-range beef short rib, local prime strip loin, house-made rigatoni Bolognese or a catch of the day served with local vegetables. Current selections reflect the range of seafood, meats, seasonal produce and house-made accompaniments found throughout the menu.

The beverage program adds another layer to the experience. Specialty cocktails range from a lavender Bee’s Knees to a blueberry bourbon smash, while the curated beer and wine selections include offerings from New Hampshire, Maine, New England and respected wine regions around the world. Desserts such as crème brûlée, limoncello cake and house-churned gelato offer a fitting conclusion to dinner.

During pleasant weather, The Patio at Avery’s provides outdoor dining beneath the warm glow of string lights. Patio seating is available on a first come, first served basis, creating a relaxed setting just steps from downtown Wolfeboro.

A dinner at Avery’s pairs naturally with a stay in one of our luxury guest rooms. Guests can begin the day with gourmet breakfast at Pickering House, explore local things to do in Wolfeboro then return for a memorable evening meal.

Among the many dining experiences in Wolfeboro, Samuel Avery’s Tavern offers a combination of local flavor, genuine hospitality and seasonal creativity that feels entirely at home beside Pickering House.
