Delicious, reasonably priced food served by friendly, knowledgeable wait staff. Food delivery was perfectly timed. (Not rushed)

I used to frequent this restaurant years ago. The price and value got way out of wack so I stopped coming. I have my local favorites in town especially for groups or business meals. All were booked. I thought let's give this place a call and see. I was amazed! New chef a new menu, the food was exceptional and abundant! I ordered the parsnip soup for an app which was super creamy and a little spicy. The soup is curry based! It was exceptional! For dinner we were 3 and ordered 3 different meals, chicken, pork and a vegetarian eggplant ratatouille. I had the eggplant, also a hint of curry. Wow! The meal exceeded my expectations! The chicken and pork were also outstanding. Sober October for me, so did not try any of the fall drink specials but they sounded awesome! I will definitely add this back to my list of go to's !

The food was incredibly flavorful, beautifully presented and perfectly done. Such interesting combinations of flavors.

It sounds like a great place but cannot find out if it's even open. Website says it's closed, but Google says it's open

Fantastic experience Saturday night at the Granite! The food was amazing and the service from Sarah impeccable! The Chef even came out to greet us! We had the best meatball appetizer, an amazing pasta dish with a side of grilled salmon, and the best bacon cheddar burger we've had in a really long time! Price is perfect for the quality! Love this restaurant so much. Always come when we're in Concord and have not once been disappointed!! Must try!

We had rib eyes and they were the fattiest steak I have ever had. They were under cooked and the only seasoning was garlic. They used garlic as only seasoning on all meals. The scallops were good and risotto. Service from bar was terrible.

Service took forever. We constantly waited for everything - to get water, to get drinks, to order, water refills,, for our check. If service was better, we would have had another round of drinks but it was terrible. Food was good, but nothing to write home about.

.Things were Hectic because of staff shortages. But they honored our reservation and food came quickly and was good. Our Serverer was great
Food and service were outstanding However, the air conditioner was working overtime. I needed to put my coat on to stay warm.

We had reservations for 7:15 on Saturday night. The restaurant was not busy but we waited almost half an hour for a glass of wine and a beer. No water, no bread on the table, nothing. They were out of the 2 domestic (and very popular) beers that my husband likes, so he had to settle for something he didn't really enjoy. We were told they were "out of bread" (really??) so I was given a couple packages of stale oyster crackers because by this point I was really hungry. The fried calamari was average, my salmon entree was okay, but extremely salty. The menu is very limited, but it was a special occasion so my husband got the filet mignon, which was very good, but it was the meat on the plate with some limp, charred broccolini, and that's it. For the money, I would expect at least a salad, but no sides were included. We were very disappointed and I don't think I would return. It was a very expensive, unimpressive experience.

Drinks were horrible. They put our smoked old fashioned in a shaker, didn't smoke it or add the bacon or maple. Food was good but cost was high for what we got

Very disappointing. I was the host of this dinner and the main courses made my choice of restaurant look terribly wrong. Appetizers - Charcuterie & Cheeseboard - EXCELLENT !!!! Amaretto & Brie EXCELENT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Main Courses - Extremely disappointing. Short Ribs with Mushrooms - Pretty bad. I could make better myself. My guest had a dish with spinach and a type of pasta. He is a chef. He could not even eat more than a few forks of this. It was embarrassing for me as I was the host. Dessert: Gelato Salted Caramel Ice Cream - BEST gelato of my life! My guest had something that looked like a carrot cake. Very good. Overall Impression - I will not return until Granite State hires a much better chef. P.S. My waitress Kristin was superb. I hope the restaurant advertises when it hires a better chef.

Terrible service and food. Both cocktails had to be sent back. Clam chowder was lukewarm and absolutely tasteless hamburger patty. Usually don't complain, but this was not a good experience. Waiter seemed overwhelmed with 4 tables on a Saturday night.
