Ledges Restaurant at The White Mountain Hotel

My husband and I live right in town and have been wanting to try this place for a long time. Decided we would finally go the day after Christmas, since we spent Christmas apart (He had to work.) The food was amazing. I got the salmon and he got the rack of lamb. I usually don't care for lamb much, but this was cooked perfectly (med rare) and dipped in the sauce, it was really good. My salmon was also amazing. For apps we got the charcuterie plate, which was great, but kind of small. Having said that, it was enough for the two of us, but I wouldn't suggest it for more than two people. The jam was my favorite. We also got a caesar salad, which was great. For dessert we got the creme brulee, very tasty. Service was very friendly and efficient. The only negative I would say is that we had a reservation for 7:30. They told us it would be 10-15 minutes, which was fine, but it ended up being 30 minutes. We noticed that everyone that had a reservation had the same issue. Reading through other reviews it doesn't seem like this was a one time occurrence. Not sure why they continue to take reservations if they can't honor the time you reserve. Anyways, it wasn't a huge deal for us since we weren't in a hurry. Just figured I would mention it so others will have a heads up. So if you make a reservation here, maybe make it for 30 minutes earlier than when you want to eat. I didn't take any stars off since we weren't in a hurry, plus everything else was fantastic.

Ate at the ledges on a Monday night when everything was closed in the North Conway area. So happy I stumbled upon this gem! After a day of hiking the chili was a perfect quick appetizer to settle my grumbly belly (bigger than an appetizer portion). Ordered crab cakes for my main - veggies cooked to perfection - and for desert, a Godiva bomb “to go” since I was stuffed! Our waitress was absolutely amazing - I forget her name but she said she only works Mondays. Great bar to order a cocktail while you wait for your reservation. Already plan on returning for a round of golf and a bowl of that chili next time I am visiting in the area.

We loved the food, the waitstaff and the atmosphere! The hostess was wonderful too! We will definitely be back when we’re in the area and highly recommend!!!

All the food was great, it’s nice you can make a reservation here! We were about 10 mins early for our reservation so they had us wait in the bar next door which we loved! The wine tree is very cute. The service was a bit slow, I think our waitress was slammed I felt for her. My uncle LOVED their prime rib special, and I thought their veggie sandwich and French onion soup were really good! Great for a special occasion, was not expensive either. I would love to come back this summer!

My husband and I dined at Ledges many times during our recent stay at the hotel. We loved both the restaurant and hotel. I did find that we still had to wait a bit to be seated despite having reservations, but no big deal because they have an inviting lobby with a fireplace to lounge with cocktails while you wait. What I love about Ledges is the spectacular view, the tasty food (the burger is great!), good wine and a piano player on the Fri & Sat nights we were there. It just all made for a relaxing and memorable experience. If it weren't a 3+ hours drive away, we'd be regulars!

Our waitress was super nice. 10oz steak was phenomenal.

This was our second visit to Ledges and first since the hiring of the new chef. What a difference. Now rating this place tops. The seafood chowder is good, the iceberg wedge was great, the crab cakes were filled with meat rather than breadcrumbs and the lamb was perfectly cooked with a delicious gravy that suited the mash potatoes well, although those spuds were overly whipped with little texture (only minor critic). The view is amazing & the service remains professional & friendly. Thanks Miranda & trainee (super young lady with great personality, sorry I missed your name).

For a free breakfast this place had a pretty decent selection! When we were there a reservation was required. Just an FYI, Not sure if that’s an all the time thing. If the weather was behaving I’m sure the views would have been amazing. But we just got a full view of the snow building up before we hit Brentwood’s. The next day was pretty clear but of corse we were on our way out. So we got a quick glimpse of the panoramic views. I would definitely recommend stopping in here for the breakfast if you stay here!

Excellent restaurant. Nice menu with great choices. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. They have an expansive wine list with good selections. And you can't beat the view of the Valley.

very beautiful, relaxing place to eat, live piano playing, server was very nice and polite and everyone enjoyed their meal and they put a candle in my grandsons dessert, we were there for his 18th birthday, overall an enjoyable experience

This is the complimentary breakfast for guests. Nice proportion, fresh, hot meals. Thick crisp bacon. It's all good.

Had dinner here for our Anniversary-very courteous, and promptly host and server. Dinner took about 50 minutes to come out after ordered, but given the lack of staff across the US, it's to be expected. The food was amazing! I wish we could have seen the view, but it was night, so we just enjoyed the paino playing!

Had 2 dinners and 2 breakfasts here. Filet mignon was great!! Nice to pick from the menu for breakfast instead of having a buffet.

Beautiful restaurant and very romantic

Went here for our wedding anniversary dinner. They had two specials that were taylor made for us - prime rib and seafood pasta. My honey was very happy with her huge, tender, tasty steak. My seafood pasta was exceptional - shrimp, scallops, and lobster in a creamy lobster stew type of sauce. I raved about it through the entire meal. Our server was very pleasant and helpful despite being very busy. Our salads were good. The Godiva Mousse Bomb was a real treat. I had the house Cab Sav and really enjoyed it. I was told they had a new chef - apparently an excellent one based on my experience. Looking forward to going back.

Good breakfast, and great dinner. Staff was friendly, food was delicious and they had a decent beer selection. Great views as well.

We had the latest available reservations on Thanksgiving, and were excited to dine at Ledges during our holiday getaway.
As can sometimes happen, reservations got backed up and we did end up waiting about 45 minutes. But the staff was friendly and were working their butts off to accommodate not only their their hotel guests, but non-guests with reservations like us, and walk ins looking for dinner at one of the few places open on Thanksgiving Day. But we sat in the lovely lobby enjoying the crackling fire in the big stone fireplace. There is a sports bar adjacent to the restaurant but we were reluctant to sit in there in case we missed our name being called. However, we could have gone in and ordered a drink and brought it back out to the lobby if we had wanted to.
Our name was eventually called and we were seated at a table for two in the large dining room. It was dark when we were there, but I can imagine the lovely view from the wall of windows in the semicircular dining room facing the cliff ledges that give the restaurant its name.
This was not a buffet dinner but had a fixed menu with several choices of appetizer, main course and dessert for a flat price of $49 per person. Not an exorbitant price for the area. As is often the case when you are a late diner, a few of the items were sold out, including our first choice prime rib, but we expected this could happen, so had our second choices planned for everything. For an appetizer I chose the salad which was just the right size. It included kale, beets, roasted brussel sprouts, with a light vinaigrette. A little goat cheese sprinkled in would have made it perfect. My boyfriend enjoyed the corn chowder which is a restaurant specialty. There were 5 entree choices: turkey, prime rib, stuffed haddock, ham and a vegan option butternut (maybe pumpkin?) risotto. With the prime rib sold out, we both ordered the turkey dinner which was more delicious than either of us expected. The turkey was plentiful and moist and sat atop a bed of amazing sausage stuffing. The gravy, which covered the mashed red bliss potatoes, turkey and dressing was to die for. Best restaurant gravy I've ever had. Butternut squash and green beans rounded out the meal. We were both so full by the time dessert arrived that we just ate a few bites; apple Betty with vanilla ice cream for me and bourbon pecan pie for my partner.
Hats off to the chefs and kitchen staff for producing a dinner that was obviously made with care (I wondered how many turkeys they had to cook!) and absolutely delicious. Even being some of the latest diners, our food didn't taste like it had been sitting around under a heat lamp but was freshly plated and hot.
We truly appreciated the staff members who were friendly and working so hard to accommodate the many diners.
I'd definitely dine here again. Next time I hope to make it during the day to appreciate the amazing view as well as the delicious food.

Chef Ali Gonzalez is AMAZiNG; Anthony Bourdain (RIP), eat your heart out!!! We've dined extensively, including abroad. Best restaurant in NH---LIKELY!!!
Lexi's service is stellar. Restaurant is GF/GFM accommodating. Ledges is truly NOT to be missed!!! Chef's specials are creative, sustainable, and frankly, incredibly delicious!

Great views, excellent food and friendly service. We love coming to the Ledges every year on our trip to North Conway.

Very nice lunch there! The staff made us feel very welcome. Our table had nice views despite the fog.
