You're in the very suburban town of Lebanon, New Hampshire. You've got everything that you need at…read moreyour fingertips but maybe you're looking to enjoy wine or sip a cocktail at a place with more of an urban edge. Drive 5 minutes over the state line to Putnam's in White River Junction, Vermont for that sommelier-staffed experience. Love the ambience and rigorous focus on elevated, quality ingredients, at Putnam's. They have a corkboard-covered 3-ring binder menu which is aptly named a Field Guide. Trust me, this name is earned by the Tasting Notes alone. The field guide is like a thesis for advanced Upper Valley sippers, Vermont or not. If you forgot your book or paper, just saddle up to the Putnam's Field Guide. You'll find an elaborate offering of editorial descriptions of beverages from wine to martinis (6 kinds) to beer and whiskey (one from Japan). Btw, it's rare to find a wine bar that doubles as a gorgeous coffeehouse serving pastries, espresso-based drinks, teas and breakfast sandwiches on weekends. I'm looking forward to enjoying them sometime if I'm back. The offering at Putnam's Vineyard rotates seasonally, so I will describe what was there on my visits. Visit their website for updated menu surprises. As for the evening and weekends Fall menu, they call their offering Picnic Food. It's a modest title for an extensive offering of appetizers and a few sandwiches. Think fancied-up olives, pretzels, Brazilian cheese puffs, a craft beer mix, 2 melty sammies with Vermont cheeses (1 with turkey, the other veggies), beet and chevre arancini, dips and a vast selection of desserts. Vermont cheeses, apricots, Marcona almonds, dried apricots and crostini are looking divine on the cheese board. Oh, and there's also Superbon Madrid potato chips with Osetra caviar and a mini spirit of Gaston Chiquet champagne. Just saying. There is also a weekend brunch menu with bagels and egg sandwiches. As for the wine, I recommend a flight at Putmam's. In the fall season, these flight offerings were named: the Bella Blanca Wine Flight, the Falling Leaves Mixed Wine Flight, Fireside Reds Red Wine Flight, The Forgotten Bunches Mixed Wine Flight and the almighty and an unforgettable Sparkler Flight. In this flight, I slowly savoured 3 wine sparklers at $25 total. (And no, I cannot spell savour without a "u.") These wine flights are a true value. And here are the wines in the sparkler flight: 1.) Cava 2021 by Avinyó 2.) Crémant de Bourgogne Sparkling Brut Rosé NV by Albert Bichot 3.) Lambrusco by Villa Castellazo ROTA The Cava is everything. All three were delightful and I showed up needing warm fuzzies on an evening where there was live music so the total experience was extra lovely. There is also a whiskey flight! The coffee and craft beverages selection for the fall/winter menu includes a nitro cold brew, a brown butter latte with Maldon sea salt and biscotti and a FROLA New Orleans style cold brew slushie with maple syrup and coconut cream. To any craft and coffee beverage you can add Vermont Ice Cream Coffee Liqueur or Whistle Pig Piggy Back Bourbon. Yes, please. If you are making a trip of it, catch the local bbq joint across the way from Putnam's at lunch and then visit the wine bar for drinks. Layer up, because I've been nippy there twice, and then linger over one delightful beverage after the next. Oh, and there is a charming wine shop at Putnam's with handmade gifts to peruse, as well.

I had requested a window table when booking and we got one! The restaurant seemed full, with mostly resort guests. Very lively bar area, great atmosphere and lighting. No children in sight while we were there. Our waitress was very polite and efficient as well. We had the Caesar salad and fried calamari as appetizers; that's what we had last year and we loved it - still great this year. Boyfriend *loved* the calamari, it did have a "kick" to it - watch out for those jalapeños! He gives me that big parmesan chip from his salad and I love it! He had the 14oz striploin steak as main dish and unfortunately, wasn't too impressed. He found it a bit overcooked (had asked for medium rare) and it was kind of bland (that's probably his fault though because he had asked them to remove the garlic aioli usually served with it). Also - this cut wasn't a bone-in so the steak was bigger than he expected, and he couldn't finish it. He loved the asparagus and other veggies however, which were prepared perfectly. I had the napoleatan Ragu which I thought (from seeing pictures on social media) would be a MUCH smaller portion than what was served. It was tasty but I couldn't finish half. If you are boxing up leftovers it would probably reheat really well the next day (we couldn't as we are on a road trip. I mean, maybe I could have anyway. But it's a bit late to think of that now, Amelie). Overall it was another great evening... ambiance is most important to me when eating out and this place has it right. We liked our main dishes better on our 2025 visit though (pizza and shrimp scampi) - and would keep that in mind if/when we return...

The Tap House at Grand Summit Hotel 104 Grand Summit Dr Box…read more248, Bartlett, NH 03812 Tucked inside the Grand Summit Hotel in Bartlett, NH, The Tape House delivers a cozy, après-ski dining experience with a rustic wood-accented atmosphere and live music that enhances the mountain lodge charm. Whether you're winding down after a day on the slopes or simply looking for a hearty meal and good drinks, this spot offers a satisfying evening. Cocktails The cocktail menu impressed, especially the Allagash Blueberry Smash made with maple syrup vodka and fresh blueberries--a creative, flavorful New England twist. Everyone at the table agreed: the cocktails here are a highlight. Rating: 9/10 Entrees - Spicy Texas Brisket Pizza - Brisket, onion, jalapeño, cheddar, mozzarella ($28.75) This was a solid choice with a crispy crust and a good kick of heat from the jalapeños. However, the pizza leaned heavily on cheese and could've used a bit more brisket to balance it out. A great option for sharing--easily split among four people. Rating: 7/10 - The Bear Burger - 8oz Robie Farms beef, white cheddar, bacon, pulled pork, onion ring ($23.75) A beast of a burger in all the right ways. Rich, juicy, and layered with smoky, savory goodness--this one will leave you full and happy. Rating: 9/10 - Potato Crusted Salmon - Served over spinach, topped with honey mustard ($28.75) Sadly, this dish was a miss. The flour taste overpowered the crust, and the texture didn't come together as hoped. Lacked the finesse you'd expect at that price point. Rating: 2/10 - Yankee Pot Roast - Potatoes, carrots, celery ($37.50) The absolute standout of the evening. Hearty, comforting, and packed with flavor--you can tell this dish simmered all day. Tender meat, perfectly cooked veggies. Worth visiting just for this. Rating: 10/10 Desserts We tried the: - NY Style Cheesecake - Dark Chocolate Mousse Cake - Red Velvet Cloud Cake - Warm Apple Crisp Blossom à la mode Each dessert came with ice cream and offered something for every sweet tooth. For me, the Warm Apple Crisp stole the show--comforting and nostalgic with the perfect balance of cinnamon and crunch. Overall Ratings - Food: 8/10 - Cocktails: 9/10 - Affordability: 6/10 (A bit on the pricier side, but portions are generous) - Ambiance: 9/10 (Live music and ski lodge aesthetic made it cozy and fun) Final Thought: If you're staying at the Grand Summit or just passing through Bartlett, The Tap House is definitely worth a visit--especially for the live music, cocktails, the Bear Burger, and that unforgettable Yankee Pot Roast.

When we checked into the hotel, we overheard a couple complaining to the front desk that they hadn't been served and so this was a bit of a red flag but we decided to go forward anyways with dinner reservations. We made the reservation for 5pm since we figured that if we were the first ones at the restaurant then we would probably be served. The server was super friendly and we were in fact the first people at the restaurant. We got a nice table by the window, but a weird thing happened. The rest of the restaurant was completely empty since we were the first ones at the restaurant and the next two couples that arrived for dinner were seated directly next to us. There was an entire restaurant and we were all crowded together in one corner. We all laughed a bit when we realized this and acknowledged that it was a bit strange but wasn't affecting our meal. We got the house breads and the souffle shrimp cake for our appetizers. Our waitress tried to warn us that we shouldn't order the shrimp cake which was really strange- I obliviously didn't realize she was trying to steer me away until later until she had taken our order. More weirdness. When the dish came out it was actually very good so I'm not sure why this dish was discouraged. My entree of the scallops was delicious and my husband had the salmon which was also tasty. We also ordered a side of the zucchini cake but this never came- when we asked about it, the waitress let us know that the first order was burned so they had to remake it. By that point, we had been there for almost 2.5 hours so we were ready to leave and declined the remake. It was a strange dinner experience. The staff were definitely understaffed (the restaurant filled in as the night went on) and our early bird dinner time didn't help us avoid long wait times. It was a pretty pricey dinner and although the food was good, we'll skip the hotel restaurant in the future.

Full honest review here…read more I don't remember the waitress' name, but to whoever was literally the only server today, May 9th, you were amazing. She was so sweet, helpful, so upbeat, running around the restaurant and being very nice and personable, even to people who were complaining about the wait time that is literally out of her control. And you read that right, the ONLY server. That's one thing to expect about coming here it seems, since that's a trend in all the other reviews, plus I have family that live here that say the same thing, if you come here, expect to be here for like two hours minimum. Cuz if the kitchen is staffed as well as the serving staff, then there's probably only one guy back there making the food. I think we waited about an hour for the food to come out. Mind you, the four of us all got the same thing, the burger, no special requests. I noticed everyone else's took about the same time. One table next to us actually had one entree come out, then another like twenty minutes later, then another like 20 minutes after that, so that table wasn't even served all at once. The food: great, everything tasted super fresh, I heard they actually source their stuff as organically and local as possible, I could be wrong, but at the very least it tasted like it. Nothing tasted heavy or bad. Is it overpriced? A little, but it was good quality in my opinion so I have no complaints about that. (There are no prices on the menu btw, so it's a guessing game until the check comes out). The ambience is great, super cute, nice enough to dress up for, but for those of us that flew 3 hours and drove another 2 hours to the hotel and didn't feel like changing, it's also good for casual. Loved the look of the place. So my cons: - As noted, the insane wait times, I don't recommend if you're dying of hunger. - Dessert is not worth it in my opinion, we had the chai tiramisu and the chocolate cake. The chocolate cake tasted like it was just some frozen cake you'd pick up at a store, nothing special. The chai tiramisu was interesting, but not worth $13 for a tiny cup worth of it, I wouldn't get either of them again. And last note to anyone still reading this, be nice to your servers. They're doing their best with what they can control. They can't control how quick the bartender brings your bottle or drink to the table. They can't control how quick the food comes from the kitchen. And I'm sure if every night is like tonight where they only have one server, that server is already losing their mind trying to keep up with all the tables. If anything, this speaks more to the management and their incapability of staffing accordingly to the restaurant's needs. That needs work. I'm looking at you, unknown Harvest Tavern manager people So overall, I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here, but I also wouldn't avoid it. I'd go back knowing the expectations from my experience. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
