11 Best American Restaurants near Lyme

“Outstanding food, as usual! And Kate’s drinks are exceptional!“

“I visited Lou’s Restaurant & Bakery that morning in Hanover, and it lived up to its reputation! I ordered a blueberry pancake and a cup of coffee, and it was incredibly authentic, with fluffy, fruity flavors. The atmosphere was retro and had a small-town feel. The wait staff was incredibly friendly, making it feel like dining at an old friend’s house.“

“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.“

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

“Doordashed a burrito from here. The original sized is huge, wanted to take a nap afterwards. So many options to add to it. The flavor is bold and right up front. You can instantly tell that it is all fresh and not frozen. Will definitely be ordering again when I get a craving. Highly recommend you check it out.“

“Was in town for a wedding and stopped by Murphy’s. Everything you want out of a dining experience. Fish and Chips were some of the best I’ve ever had. If I am ever in town again will 100% swing by!“

“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!“

“Just returned from dinner at Pine. Wonderful evening. As my daughter said, the "vibe" was exactly what you'd hope for in a restaurant in this setting...energy was great in the room. The food was extremely good (two pasta dishes, a soup and an app), although the portion sizes were really too much (not much of a complaint, but I feel guilty wasting food). The standout of the night, however, was our waiter, John. I say "waiter" rather than "server" because he truly embodied the old school spirit of the professional waiter....something you don't experience too often any more. I can safely say I've dined out a few thousand times (probably much more) and I am prepared to crown John as the finest waiter I have ever had. Kind, informative, unpretentious, attentive...I can't say enough good things. Well done, Pine, and bravo, John!“
