I wanted something I could bring back to my hotel room for dinner, that was within easy walking distance from my hotel. Picked up the beet salad here. I was shocked that my $16 salad was this small (see picture). The beets were cooked well however the fennel was supposed to be caramelized, but instead was small fennel bulbs that were lightly charred and not very appealing (in my opinion). The green goddess dressing was excellent. Still.... Seemed rather pricey and left me unsatisfied!

The service was an absolute disaster. The food came out cold. Don’t come here with more than 2 in your party you’ll be more than disappointed.

The drinks are always great, but the food is underrated! We got the poutine, baked brie, and brussel sprouts for apps and they were incredible! The Nashville chicken sandwich was very good!

I pass through NH from Maine and I've ended up here randomly twice. It has been a very good experience both times. Having worked in the industry for awhile, I can usually tell a good establishment when I see it. This place seems consistently decent. Worth checking out for both visitors and locals.Matt, maybe? The server with the cool and plentiful tattoos, was all around an amazing server and deserves a special shout out.

We were in town visiting for the weekend and made reservations around 8pm here. We sat right down upon arrival for our reservation and we had such an excellent time. My only gripe is that it was about 15Mins or so to get a cocktail, not just the first ones but every order of a cocktail, and between app and entree was about an hour. The food was incredible, all of the cocktails we had were great. The Espresso Martini is hands down top 5 I’ve ever had before. Would recommend coming here to anyone and everyone. My only advice to the restaurant is to figure out the service speed.

The food was good and the service was great. Not a place to go if you want to have a conversation over dinner. Between the noise from the people at the bar and the excessive volume of the music it was like trying to talk to someone at a club. Our reservation was at 6 so it wasn't that we were there at a later time where you might expect the noise levels to be that high. They need to figure out if they are a bar or a restaurant because trying to do both makes for a poor dining experience. Probably wouldn't go back.

Great atmosphere, the door man was very friendly. He carried me up the stairs like an eager newly wed carrying his trophy wife across the threshold of their new home. The espresso martinis are to die for! How ever, I’m a little upset at the bar manager, he didn’t let me play mombo number 5 more than 3 times throughout the night.

No pics because of the dim atmosphere but we had an absolutely amazing dinner Saturday night. We started with espresso n martinis, and poutine. Both are phenomenal. The crunchy potato wedges in the poutine were to die for. We then ordered the Mumbai tonics and with our main courses: and linguine entree and Nashville chicken (sub fries for a salad) and wow! We are tough food critics sometimes but we didn’t have a bad thing to say about anything. Will be back asap!
