Didn’t realize how fortunate we were to get a reservation on a holiday weekend. Food was outstanding, drinks were amazing and Aliah provided great service. I’m not the type to let a server sell me on the specials but when you realize how great of a culinary destination this is, the specials are truly “special”. It’s refreshing to know that places like this exist where you least expect to find them. Bravo Thompson House Eatery and we will make the 5 hour journey again to dine with you!!

The food is very average.....Way over priced for the quality of dining......I don't mind paying for good food is average at best......You want grated cheese on your pasta....$2 dollars....You want three pieces of bread.....$6...there is a 3.5% fee for credit card use.....Dinner was 250 dollars with an inexpensive bottle of wine.....The food is just not that good service was good and atmosphere is also good....Thompson house is the only fine dining restaurant within 30 minutes and they take full advantage of the market.

This was the perfect spot for our special honeymoon dinner. The service and staff were wonderful. The food and atmosphere amazing. Great cocktail selection, and the soup was to die for. The love and care put into every dish is evident. It was one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. Highly recommend! Can’t wait to come back!

The food is very fresh being locally sourced or even grown on site. We went there to celebrate our anniversary and several members of the staff mentioned this and were all very kind and attentive. We reserved a high top but were offered the outside dining area if we would like, which we were excited to accept and it was beautiful. I ordered the fish and it was melt in your mouth quality. We have been there once before when I ordered a steak and it was probably the best steak I've ever had. Highly recommend.

We ordered the foccia bread and three slices of fried tomato which were good. We also ordered a $59 ribeye medium which came out raw inside, we sent it back because it smelled and asked for a new piece. They brought back the same piece of meat which we just ate versus making a stink. The kicker was at the end of our meal for two people which wasn't great, they had the audacity to inform us that a 20% gratuity would be added automatically. I love Jackson, typically stay at the Wentworth but if you want a terrific meal, fabulous, go to the Inn at Thorn Hill, outstanding. What restaurant includes a 20% gratuity for two people, terrible especially after the poor dining experience. Something is up with this place, I wouldn't recommend, better years ago.

Best food we have EVER had!!! Me and my husband went to T.H.E after we eloped and it was by far the best meal we have ever had. Everyone was incredibly welcoming and make us feel right at home. Our server, Zoe, was absolutely amazing. She was so knowledgeable about the menu and you could tell how much she loved her job. We loved their specials that night and the food was so delicious. Everything was cooked and seasoned to perfection, no meal can even come close to how good it truely was! We want to go back already! Thank you so so much T.H.E for making the meal after our elopement so special♥️ We have decided to make it a tradition and come back every year for our anniversary!

As NH residents, we love this area of NH. We love dining out and trying new places, so we do so whenever we can. This was our first visit to Thompson House for our anniversary and the food was simply amazing; better than the fine dining restaurants we have dined at in Boston. The staff was swift to wish us a happy anniversary and was intent on making our experience special. We each had a drink, 50 shades of grey and a cherry sazerac, which were both well balanced and flavorful. We had the fococia as well as the cheese board to start, both were great. For main courses we had the bolognese and the wagyu steak frites. I asked for the steak temp medium, and to our surprise, the chef would not cook it more the med rare due to his moral compass. Though some may find that pretentious and condescending, I found it impressive and allowed me to put my full trust in the kitchen staff. These dishes were perfection in our opinion.
Now for the things we were not so used to. They do require you to order your whole meal at once, apps as well, but they do time the delivery in a staggered way. We were surprised to see a 3.25% payment processing fee foe not paying cash at a fine diningestablishment. They also include 20% gratuity for the server in the bill which we normally would hate, however, the service staff were ALL great and helped each other steadily. It does leave you feeling obligated to leave more of a tip if you dine out often though.

Amazing and cute place! Food was terrific and great price for a farm to table restaurant. We were recommended this place by our hotel’s front desk and were glad we went. All the servers and host were extremely kind and welcoming.

Was not impressed with the food that they charged very high prices for. Additional fees ridiculous. Bread and dessert were wonderful. Drinks were weak.
Simply perfect! What a fantastic culinary experience at the Thompson House. You’re immediately drawn in by the warm and relaxed beauty of the property and building that is further reinforced by the welcoming staff. The servers are friendly and conversational as they walk you through their ever changing seasonal menu of locally sourced ingredients. Every dish had an incredible depth of flavor and was beautifully presented in a simple way honoring the local ingredients. This is an experience I plan to repeat anytime I’m in the area, and is worth a trip just to dine at the Thompson House Eatery.
Truly disappointed in our experience last night. We arrived without a reservation at around 530, waited for a table at 6:45, and werent able to leave until 9:15. Incredibly slow service although the restaurant wasn’t particularly busy. The food was good, and it’s a beautiful spot. Just wish we had been checked on occasionally by our server. I don’t like the included tip as well. Prices should reflect the cost of business instead of tacking on 23.5% after. Was hoping at least a drink or two would be comped for the incredibly long wait time. Other tables were seated and turned over while we sat. Overall a very overpriced and disappointing evening.

The food is always fantastic regardless of what you pick on the menu, which changes frequently. I had the RibEye steak which was cooked to perfection the way I like it and so flavorful, easily the best steak I've ever had. The night I was there was extremely busy so service was a bit slower than usual but certainly not bad. The only criticism I have is because of all the hard surfaces in the dining room, it gets noisy and difficult to hear at times. Always on my.listmof go to dinner places when I am in the area and will be going back again before I leave New Hampshire.
