“I just had breakfast at Lou’s for the first time. I had the biscuits and gravy and it was the absolute best gravy I have ever had. The portion was huge and perfectly cooked! The coffee was very good, too!! In the past, I’ve had various bakery items from here and they have all been delectable!“

“It was recommend by locals. The food was wonderful. The wood burning spinach artichoke dip was great. A great local restaurant.“

“Very friendly, staff pleasant

Parking: Hard to find parking, have to park, pay and walk, restraunts took up parking spots to add outside tables, it maybe a college but it's still our town, at night have to deal with the drunk college kids that treat people like crap

Kid-friendliness: Wouldn't take kids in that environment in the evening“

“Pine is the restaurant for The Hanover Inn, Dartmouth’s charming hotel located in the heart of downtown Hanover and overlooking The Green. Pine’s location, elegant atmosphere, and service were excellent; the food was just alright. I enjoyed my salmon dinner, but my dad was disappointed by the size of his scallop dinner, given the high price. There are not many options here for kids, either, so beware. Overall, I would recommend this place for an elegant meal out, but be prepared for a high bill and small portions.“

“Came in for dinner after hearing about the new spring menu and decided to give it a shot. I was pleasantly surprised by how attentive and knowledgeable the staff were. The service was phenomenal I had my food within 10 minutes of placing an order and was greeted by the executive chef Harrison in passing. I got A chance to learn about a handful of dishes from the mind that created them which overall enhanced my experience and had me leaving with a newfound appreciation for the food I was eating. The detail in each dish and the multiple levels of flavor made this dining experience the best I've had in the entire area. As someone who follows a lot of culinary influencers and experts there are few I have seen that match up to the skills and knowledge that Chef Harrison Hicks and his team show. Chef Hicks deserves the kind of recognition and appreciation something such as the James beard award would provide.“

“My dear friend stopped in today and surprised me with your tres leches cake (one of my favorite desserts!) It was delicious! One of the best cakes I have I have ever had! It was packaged perfectly and it made the 2 hour trip back! I can’t wait to visit your shop in person! 🤗“

“Last night we went to Jesses o celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary! I had called for some special accommodations I wanted. They did a fabulous job with our booth (which I requested for privacy and low noise level. It was a perfect booth! I had requested champaign be on the table in ice and chilled glasses. Candles were another request. The table was perfect and beautiful. Very romantic! My Huband's gift was delivered to the restaurant. It was sitting on the shelf behind the table. Perfect! The Managers and staff were excellent! A shout out to Tiffany and Abbey(manager). So very pleasant and accommodating. We have never had such excellent service. We have to many 4/5 star restaurants in our 50 years together (actually 52 if you count our courtship) LOL! So, congratulations on a job well done. Everyone (seemed to know about it) Even other patrons came by our table and congratulated us! e were truly made to feel special. I highly recommend Jesses for celebrations, or just a fabulous meal. They usually have live music in the bar area on the weekend nights. Which is where we usually sit for the comradery. . Always someone interesting to strike up a conversation with, sitting right next to you. Jesses is the place to be!“

“I have been to Dunks twice, both times with my 6 and 8 year old sons. Both times the service has been exceptional. Tonight a gentleman named Ramsey was our server. Top notch. The food is always great. Eddie and Tim are great at their craft. I can’t recommend Dunks enough!“

“Title: Festive Breakfast at Pine Restaurant☕️ Review:During our quick tour of Dartmouth College, we found ourselves at Pine Restaurant, conveniently located right in front of the university's main park. Visiting on Christmas Day at 7 in the morning, it was a relief to find it open when most places were closed. The atmosphere inside was absolutely amazing, adorned with festive decorations that added to our holiday experience. However, it's worth noting that the food prices are on the higher side. I ordered toast with cheesecake and a latte, which was so generous in portion that I couldn't finish it and had to take the rest with me. My daughter opted for the Dartmouth breakfast, and my husband enjoyed pancakes with regular coffee. Each dish was well-prepared and delicious, making our Christmas morning breakfast a memorable one. Pine Restaurant is a great spot for a special breakfast, especially if you're visiting the college.“

“Great Cuisine, Beverage and Service! No absentee Owner here, Eileen always right on things.“

“Such a unique setting, both with the covered bridge and water feature and the glass studio next door. The food was outstanding. I wish I lived closer because I would like to enjoy the food again. This day we had the salmon and crab cakes.“

“This is an eclectic spot with fantastic food and personality. Don’t miss it!“

“We followed Google map reviews and booked for dinner. The service was friendly and attentive. The food was excellent- tasty and generous. And the wine which was recommended by the waitress was a perfect match for the food. The best dish for us was the braised short rib. I can definitely recommend this restaurant.“

“This was definitely a good choice for us! The food was absolutely amazing and the chocolate lava cake was wayyyy to good. Our server, Ilena B. was so sweet and nice, very friendly and was right on top of things without being in our faces all the time. We enjoyed talking to a Buckeye fan! O-H… she knows what’s next! 5 stars for everyone and the food and service. Everyone was pleasant! Thank you for making our trip from Ohio great. Deana and Melony“

“I always appreciate 110 Grill. We have a family full of allergies and they are fabulously accommodating. Tonight we had service by Mira in West Lebanon,NH and she was the best waitress I have had in so long! Constantly clearing wrappers from the kids, brought drinks before we asked and was so sweet.“

“I was there 07-17-2024. Wednesday and they was serving Burgers. It was a Wednesday burger at Fort. The Burger was great nice people I love it. Thank you Fort“

“My friend and I came up for a girl’s weekend and we loved it here! Comfy and cozy, and quiet too. The fireplace in the room was the icing on the cake! And they hand a wonderful breakfast buffet. All of the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. I highly recommend coming here!“
