"Was ok. Everyone on Merrimack Valley eats raves about this place. The food was decent, and drinks too. Didn't appear too busy, but we waited at the front desk for a bit. Got sat and waited a good while again. Then, everything started to move along. Service was lacking. But again, the food was fine. I'd try again. Wonder if the function facilities are hood. Got a party to plan in a few months"

"Marci is the rudest person I have ever encountered. Salmon was undercooked after I asked the nice girl on the phone to please make sure it was well done, and they forgot my vegetables. I made sure I stressed to please cook the salmon well since I have had this issue once before. Take out they could care less about. What a shame. I hope the owner reads this. He needs new management."

"Our server Joseph was so nice! The food was delicious, from appetizers, main meal and dessert!"

"I don't like giving bad reviews but I thought you should know. Service was terrible. Took us 15-20 minutes to just get water. The server was not friendly, very transactional and quick. I wish I could tell you his name but he never told us.The free bread is better than the garlic bread. Worst garlic bread I've ever seen. Seems like they just put bread in the oven with some cheese on it. Only a hint of garlic. By the time 45 minutes elapsed and we did not get a chance to order our food we knew we needed to get everything out in the 15 seconds of server attention we receieved. To be fair the server clearly had too many tables. I watched two other parties of 5+ get seated around me and deal with the painfully slow service. Regardless, no hint of apology from the server. Our meals came and they were nothing special. Honestly a waste of calories and money. When we got the bill it stated if we paid cash it was less. They are putting the credit card fee on the customer.We will never be back."

"Always drove by this place on the way to NH and ME. Made it a point to stop heading back home. Arrived late afternoon. Wasn't too busy. Sat outside. Large and beautiful deck. Could use a little cleaning on the ceiling and string lights. Inside the restaurant was very nice. I oredered the veal saltimbocca and the wife had the lasagna that came with two large meatballs. No salad came with the meal, but the main course portions made up for it. The marianara was a little bland, but still tasty. Meatballs were on par. The veal was tender and there was no grizzle. The sauce could have also been seasoned a little more (garlic, etc.) The atmosphere was relaxing and our server was excellent. Would recommend a stop."
