I may be in the minority, but I REALLY wish there wasn't live music (often with a cover charge) nearly every single weekend night. Personally I avoid it if there's a loud band playing music I don't want to hear (and often with a cover charge on top of it). If they made live music more of a special occasion or at least a more sporadic thing, I'd be there far more frequently, spending money. I've talked to a few others who feel the same. Management, if you're reading this, please consider that live amateur music is not everybody's thing. Acoustic (background) music is one thing but having a loud band almost every single weekend night at a neighborhood bar in a tiny town is overkill. Some people just like hanging out and talking and with background music on. I dunno, just strikes me as a neighborhood bar trying to be a live music venue that is really just a neighborhood bar. Still a good spot overall!

Great people watching, and dog friendly if that's important to you. Personally, the inside would have been too dark to have lunch on a beautiful sunny day. Beer selection was good, and the menu was well rounded American fare. We split a burger & fries & it passed the test. The waitress was friendly and attentive.

Drinks are usually pretty good, beer options are on the bitter side.

21B Bar & Grill opened in September 2024 in Jaffrey, across the street from the town common. This…read morecozy bistro serves dinner and drinks several nights a week, closed Mondays & Tuesdays (in 2024). Reservations are encouraged since table seating is limited, but they have seating up at the bar. The main food preparation area by the chef is in the back corner of the dining room and another kitchen in the back. For food, they offer a selection of homemade dishes with local and European influence including a selection of starters, soups, salads, main entrees (chicken, flank steak, pasta dishes, seafood, vegetarian), and housemade desserts. They also offer specials and a list of wine, cocktails and mocktails. The prices are moderate here. After checking out the Halloween decorations along town streets, I stopped by 21B Bar & Grill on Main Street, which is not affiliated with 21 Bar & Grill in Keene. I did not have a reservation since this was a last minute decision to have dinner here and I took a seat up at the corner bar. I was given menus to look at and I got an ice water to start. I was going to order the Beef Wellington Puffs for an appetizer, but they sold out. I ordered the Blini ($13 plus tax) for an appetizer and the Pumpkin Fettuccine Alfredo ($19 plus tax) for an entrée (special dish). The Blini came out first which were three dark round smaller pancakes topped with smoked salmon and crème fraiche. This starter was pretty good, but it did not resemble the blini in their online picture which had 4 stacked small light colored pancakes and less salmon. The Pumpkin Alfredo with a slice of garlic toast was a good portion of firm cooked fettuccine noodles smothered with a thick creamy pumpkin alfredo sauce (orange color). 1 thoroughly enjoyed this entrée and decided to get dessert, which was a Pumpkin Tiramisu ($10 plus tax) which was a small piece layered with espresso soaked ladyfingers, cool creamy layers topped with whipped cream. The check was presented which was $43.96 with tax and before tip. Overall, the food had was very enjoyable and the staff seemed pleasant. They were asking customers where they were coming from including locals from Jaffrey & Peterborough, folks from across the MA border, and myself driving from Concord after work. I will very likely return back here for dinner again so I can try out their French Hunter's Chicken, which looked very appetizing and one of their most popular dishes.

I had the Peachy Chicken--chicken in a light sauce, jasmine rice, green beans, and piece de la resistance, the marinated peaches.

Steak seemed to be a little fatty but otherwise no complaints. Not very busy on the Saturday we went which is a shame because it's nice to have an option like this in Jaffrey.

We were there this past Thursday and I ordered their spinach, mushroom and chevre pizza. Not only was it lovely to look at, but it was very delicious. It was so delightful I ordered 3 on Sunday, half baked to take to a gathering on Monday. When I picked them up, I peeked inside a box. I was flabbergasted. It looked nothing like my Thu pizza. I looked at all 3, they were disappointing. They are small, individual size, no bubbly chevre, they are flat, little texture indicating yummyness. The Farm Table isn't always consistent so I shouldn't be surprised, but I truly am disappointed. I hope people at our gathering enjoy them. I am taking an herbed chevre to place on the pizza before warming. I pray all goes well.

Recently my wife and I drove 3.5 hours from Cape Cod to Bernardston to take my elderly sister out to dinner for her birthday. I looked for a nice restaurant where she had never been and settled in The Farm Table on Rte 5 just north of Greenfield. Our experience began as soon as we pulled into the parking lot. The grounds were magnificent and entire property was immaculately kept. Upon our arrival we were struck by the beautifully designed interior, ample spacing of the tables and area rugs on the wooden floor. The furniture was traditional New England style and the vaunted room made you feel you were dining in a historic inn. Soon our server Joe came to greet us and couldn't have been more welcoming or pleasant. He made us feel comfortable and gave us time to visit with each other without pestering us for our order. When our cocktails arrived they each came in carefully selected glasses that were reflective of the motif of the room. Soon we ordered dinner and that's when things got even better! The food was wonderful. The entrées in good time and again the presentation was purposefully planned. Stoneware China, mismatched vintage silverware and quality cloth napkins. The meatloaf/mashed/veg meals my wife and sister enjoyed were outstanding. I wanted to go in the kitchen and ask the chef for his recipe! My chicken was perfectly seasoned and prepared and the homemade rough cut mashed potatoes a perfect pairing. I think you get the point of this review! This dining experience, not such the great food, was well worth the 7 hours of driving! The space, service, presentation, value and of course the food were all outstanding. So often recently we leave a "nice" restaurants after dinner feeling ok/good about the experience. Tuesday night we felt elated. This is what dining out should be like! Bravo and we will be back!

The food was excellent, with so many different flavors and options to choose from. They have both a regular menu and seasonal specials, so there's plenty to explore.

It was pretty quiet when we visited on Sunday, so we are looking forward to returning on a busier night to see how the service holds up when the restaurant is packed. The ambiance is very nice too. There was dinner music playing at a good volume, the tables were comfortable and spaced nicely apart, and there is a bar with plenty of seating. I also tried a couple of their mocktails, and just like the food, they were full of flavor. My only complaint is that I usually order sparkling water with lemon, and they didn't have bottled sparkling water. Overall, we really enjoyed our first visit and are looking forward to going back and trying more of the menu. Definitely worth checking out!!
