“Finally got a chance to check out Exeter Apothecary and it did not disappoint! We grabbed a seat at the bar and enjoyed watching the entire team flow so seamlessly. The customer service was top notch even as they never stopped moving. The place is small and was packed full but they took their time with every customer. The bartenders were attentive and very personable. I loved that every dish was explained when it came out. It is very clear that everyone there has a passion for everything they create! The drinks were incredible and the small plates are beyond words! The original plan was to grab a drink and small plate and head off to dinner somewhere but we couldn’t resist sampling half the menu and left happy and full! Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys craft cocktails and unique food!“

We both chose the seafood fettuccine, which was heavenly - incredible pasta and sauce topped with succulent seafood. Desserts were lavender creme brulee and white chocolate cake...Holy cow! Dinner and service were both top-notch.. and we can't wait to return!“

“Numerous experiences at Otis, and each one has impressed us more so than the last. A unique dining experience with impeccable food!

Great drink selection too I made some friends there too. Definitely gonna come back next time I’m in town. They make the best burgers in the entire state of Massachusetts“

“The location in Stratham, NH, has been my “go to” several times a week since their opening. I live nearby, and can’t help but indulge in the convenience of the location, not only for the great food (top-notch menu and preparation), friendly atmosphere (regular patrons who easily come to feel like family), and a staff that has made me feel like this is my “home away from home”. Special shout out to John, the best, most efficient and attentive bartender that I’ve known in all my years of dining out. And, without a doubt, I must add that Jess is also most delightful in every way. The management, host staff, and endearing wait staff (you know who you are) have made every moment I’ve enjoyed at the 110 Grill in Stratham the best of times. What more can I say? Drop in, often! I recommend it. You won’t be disappointed!“

“We had a delicious lunch !“

“We love this place!!! The live music is awesome.“

“We had the best experience at Carmine! Everyone and everything was amazing!“

“Great view when sitting outside. The food was tasty but not to die for. My fries had good seasoning, but they were a tad cold. The crab cake sandwich had bacon on it and a great texture. Also, the waitress was friendly and prompt at serving us.“

“My daughter and I dined here and enjoyed it very much. The server was great, fun, polite and fast. Food was fab. We had the poutine, a unique and delicious take, and the beet salad. Drinks were strong. Very enjoyable dining experience. Will definitely be back and recommend.“

“Love the atmosphere...the food was delicioso...margaritas to die for...friendly staff...love love love 💗“

“Was awesome to find a quality coffee bar open after the show we went to last night. Especially coming from Quincy ‘the DirtyQ’ MA, which is a coffee desert. 13 DD’s but no coffee to be found. We had legit espressos in demitasse ( no paper cups which ruin the experience )before heading south again. 👍✌️🚀👽🚴‍♂️“

“We ate dinner at The Rooftop at The Envio, on Thursday, September 18th. Met your wonderful hostess, Deb. She was extremely friendly and sweet. Deb even wished my daughter a happy birthday. She was a breath of fresh air. ❤️“

“Food is amazing! Nice and fresh everytime“

“Came here for lunch. Our lunch took over an hour to get. Not fun with two kids. They were not busy and had empty tables. I will not be back.“
