“Had a fantastic birthday celebration for a family member at Dreo! We had an amazing night from the moment we walked in the door to finishing desert. Lisa, our server greeted us promptly, and reviewed the drink and dinner specials with us. The drinks were amazing and we ordered the charcuterie plate for the table. So good! Everyone loved their meals, especially the shrimp linguini dinner special. Everything was cooked perfect. Desert was great including a decadent chocolate cake for the birthday celebration. Service by Lisa was impeccable and we can't wait to go back!“

“Went for the paint and sip night and felt like they could’ve been more organized. We was told what tables we could choose from immediately when we entered from the bouncer at the door for the event but soon as we sat down we waited 15 minutes before getting a server or any acknowledgment and we wasn’t given any instructions on where the canvas or paint supplies was. Other than that the food and hookah and drinks was really good and when we finally got a waiter he was attentive the whole night!“

Michael's Bistro Cocktail Bar •
435 Essex Street, Lawrence - 5.96 miles

“I decided to treat myself to a solo brunch at Michael’s Bistro, and overall, it was a lovely experience!

The highlight of my morning was definitely the crème brûlée with fresh blueberries. It was absolutely delicious! I highly recommend it to anyone who loves desserts but prefers something that isn’t overly sweet. The combination of the fresh blueberries and the caramelized sugar was perfectly balanced, creating such a delightful flavor.

The only downside was the homemade fries, which were unfortunately quite overcooked. Aside from that, everything else was delicious and beautifully presented.

Overall, it was a wonderful way to enjoy a little time to myself over a nice brunch. I would definitely recommend this spot, especially if you have a sweet tooth but appreciate well-balanced desserts!“

“The wonderful company, great food and world class hospitality made this a night to remember. Colin truly blew us away with his table charm, mastery of the menu and making you feel at ease at a high end restaurant. We didn’t indulge in the cavier or the truffles that were with shaved tableside with white gloves but there’s always next time 🤣 The icing on the cake was meeting Izzy. He wasn’t our server but always came by to check on us with a smile and I had to ask him to stop calling me sir and he apologized and said thats how he was raised. This establishment employs the best of the best and it shows in the overall experience. 10/10 would recommend.“

“I had a wonderful experience with Friendly Reds. We had them cater our daughter’s birthday and deliver the food. Food was delicious as always- food was delivered hot and they allowed us to use their hot boxes to keep extra food hot as well. We had one little mess up with the sternos when they set up the food (they forgot the water trays) so this caused our first tray to be burnt. When we realized it and called them they offered to come right down and fix this and even refunded all of those trays. The customer service was wonderful and they were very responsive. Delivery was on time with friendly staff. Ordering catering was very simple and easy. Payment was easy (and prices were very reasonable!). This was our second event we used friendly reds for and we plan to continue to use them for catering!“

Becks Public House American •
49 NH-111A building 2 suite 4, Windham - 3.25 miles

“Three friends hit Beck’s on a busy Friday night,
The place was packed, but waitress Abby handled it just right.
Calm, quick and friendly, despite the full floor,
Checking in often, then checking some more.

She gave great suggestions on what we should try,
From mussels to calamari, the plates were piled high.
The food was delicious, our plates took a beating,
But apparently dessert was the reason for eating.

Crème brûlée and chocolate torte joined the race,
Then caramel-apple cheesecake put them in their place.
I’m a chocolate lover, so this hurts me to say,
But THAT cheesecake absolutely stole the day.

Beck’s, make that special dessert permanent, please.
That caramel-apple cheesecake brought me to my knees!

We came as three, but soon multiplied,
As a swarm of fruit flies joined us tableside.
They stayed for the evening, apparently impressed,
But Beck’s, your tiny guests need to be addressed. 😂

Great food, great night, and Abby was a gem,
We’ll happily come back and do it all again…

Maybe minus the fruit flies next time. No, but like, seriously. I stopped rhyming so you would know to take this part seriously. 🚫 🪰“
