Water Street Cafe

Had high hopes after a recommendation from a friend to try their breakfast. It was…not good. After trying about 1/4 of my dish I decided that there was no way I was finishing it. Paid an outrageous amount (by the way they don’t show their prices for mimosas which clock in at $14 each!) $91 total for two people and asked if they would discount or take off a entree since I barely ate it. A normal restaurant would have done this, but this owner didn’t budge. I will say that they do know how to cook a potato and that’s about it. Definitely won’t be back.

Food was good and service was awesome. Didn't care for the mixed fries ( some deep fried and some pan fried) bit all in all awesome place to eat

Service was great and food was delicious. Got the prime rib hash and eggs with cheesy smashbrowns and coffee. Holy moly was it good.

Best breakfast in a while

Great food classic breakfast dishes, fare pricing .

Just steps from Lake Winnisquam in beautiful downtown Laconia, New Hampshire this is a great breakfast stop. They have scalloped potatoes 🥔 for breakfast 🍳 that’s right SCALLOPED potatoes ❤️🤤

Food not bad soup came out way late and the peach pie was mostly raw dough

$48 to wait an hour and a half for breakfast for two. Three tables who got there after us got their food and left before we even got checked on. The only time someone stopped in was to try to upsell us on more drinks, no "sorry for the wait", instead we got to deal with a waitress hiding from our table out of embarrassment.
There was no attempt to comp for mistakes and no genuine apology for wasting our day. All that time spent to simply have scrambled eggs on top of my Benedict. What a joke.

Absolutely would NOT recommend this place. Unprofessional is an understatement. Young boys own this place and lack business etiquette entirely. After zero communication from the staff on their lack of staff and wait times, an HOUR and 45 minutes went by before we received food. We asked to speak with a manager, a 25 year old kid came out and with profound language told us we would not be compensated because we ate the food and they are “short staffed” we explained to them that this should have been communicated to us from the start. He walked off stating if we didn’t pay in full he will just call the cops because he just bought the place and can’t afford to lose money. After speaking with a nice gentleman about resolution to this matter, The “owner” stared us down from the kitchen and flipped us off in front of everyone in the restaurant because the other gentlemen gave us 10% for our inconveniences, he was not happy about this. I think the boys need a lesson on business before they try to work with the public.

The food was great and the portion size was very satisfactory.

Just not my cup of tea. I felt: Food, Service, and vibe in the place was horrible. I did not agree w/the way the 2 Younger kids who r now the owner treat their hard working staff. That’s just me. I will not go back.
