Visited The Rooftop this past weekend and had a fantastic time. We had made a reservation to…read morecelebrate my daughter going away to college. It was just here and I. We were greeted by the hostess who took us to our seats. (We sat inside because it had been on and off sprinkling). Our server, Mia, was AMAZING. Sweet, professional, attentive, always had a smile and exactly what you would wish to have as your wait staff. My daughter is 18, so she got the Cos-No-Politan haha. Love the pun and she loved the drink. I got a classic margarita which was made very well. We decided on apps to share. We got the meatballs, arancini, truffle fries and calamari. The meatballs were ok, but we felt they were under seasoned and a little on the dry side, even with all the sauce. The Arancini was delicious. The truffle fries were good (we really enjoyed the garlic aoli) and they came in a cute fry box on a plate. The calamari was fantastic. It also came with fried jalapenos mixed in. I did not see note of that on the menu, so for any allergies I would note that. However, that little spice mixed with the honey they had made for a great bite and we would order this again. Afterwards, we walked down to the Sam Adams beer garden where there were fire pits, music (a live band) and a great time to be had. Overall, the place was a great dinner choice for my daughter and I to celebrate this special milestone.

As someone who enjoys rooftop bars and a well-made martini, I came in with high expectations. I…read moreeven looked over the menu beforehand and planned to order the "Dirty but Classy" martini. The experience started off great. The hostess downstairs was welcoming, friendly, and gave clear directions to the rooftop--10/10. After taking the elevator up, we were greeted by another equally warm and professional host. Another 10/10. Unfortunately, that's where the positive experience ended. We sat at the bar, and the bartender spent most of his time with his back to the guests. We waited... and waited... and waited before finally having to get his attention ourselves. That's never a good sign. I ordered the "Dirty but Classy" martini and was told they didn't have the ingredients--but they could still make it. What does that even mean? Either you have the ingredients or you don't. After a confusing back-and-forth, it became clear they couldn't make it at all, so I settled for a standard dirty martini. It was terrible. No olive oil-infused vodka. No prosciutto & Gorgonzola stuffed olives. Poorly balanced and badly mixed. If you're someone who actually enjoys martinis, you know immediately when the person behind the bar has no idea how to make one. This bartender may be handsome, but the lights were on and nobody was home. He lacked both the personality and the skill to be working behind a cocktail bar. We also ordered the wagyu dumplings. Calling the filling "wagyu" felt generous--it tasted like ordinary ground beef. Any flavor the meat might have had was completely buried under an overly sweet sauce. The wagyu certainly wasn't the star of the dish. Overall, I left more annoyed than impressed. The hosts were fantastic, but the bar experience completely overshadowed the evening. I'll probably give the place another chance because first impressions aren't always the whole story--but I'll absolutely make sure I'm sitting with a different bartender next time.

We stopped in to try the new Peppers Pub in town which recentlt opened…read more It was a Saturday evening and there were just a handful of people inside. Its a pub- with 2 pool tables, pinball machines; bar seating and high tops. They do have beers on tap and we had some Blue Moons with came with blood orange slices- which was cool. The meniu is slim- buirgers, fries, onion rings, chicken fingers, salads. steak tips. Its a "scrach kitchen" and everything is made fresh to order. We had chicken bites with dipping sauces, onion rings, burgers with fries. The burger pattys are thin and flat so only cooked one way. The meal was really good! Food was excellent actually. The atmasphere is kind of off putting- as there was "Lets Go Brandon" flag on display which is a political statement for sure. We will be eating other places and skip this one.

If I could leave zero stars, I would. AVOID this place by all means. The bartender named Gabby is…read morevery racist and unprofessional. I am a black women and I never in my life went to Peppers and when I asked for a drink , she refused to serve me and told me she didn't need to explain why. The cook immediately came out from the kitchen to hear our conversation and started vaping right infront of me, and he had no gloves on! She will serve her "regulars" before anyone else, so be aware that you will be sitting and waiting to be attended for several long minutes. I noticed that this unprofessional careless Karen will also serve anyone without ID them. I will for sure be giving the police a tip about this!

Orders were App was bang bang broccoli- great flavorful change pace from the typical bang bang cauliflower we find at a lot of places. One main was lobster roll on a gluten free bun. Side was sweet potato fries. My wife really enjoyed this dish. Second main was Korean Krispy Chicken side of tater tots. Chicken was cooked correctly and the sauce amazing. Drink was a non alcoholic Guinness. I loved and recommend this dish. Our server came back and checked on us regularly and offered dessert at the end. Now was it worth a $100 lunch after tip? Yes it is. Life is too short to not enjoy yourself. Now eat some great food.

3rd visit in a few weeks time, the bar service is PHENOMENAL! Our only complaints were the…read moreabsolute lack of air conditioning (90+ degrees out and no working air flow on the second floor)! You sit there for 30 minutes and you lose your appetite, causing the restaurant to lose money. Watched multiple people walk in and directly back out even with ample bar space. The food is some of the best I've had at the chain. Love the wings, feta dip, general tsos chicken, and burgers! Drinks and friendly conversation with bartenders is amazing! If you don't make a reservation, don't bother sitting anywhere but the bar. They have 6 hostesses on a given night and not a single one will greet you or act professional. Can't get an accurate wait time aside from "X number of people ahead of you". No communication that upper and lower level seating waits are different. At the end of the day, come here for the bar and decent food. Don't expect air conditioning or appropriate management.

The host said that they couldn't do drinks but no food at the bar, even though we were told we could wait there and grab a drink in the meantime. The host could not provide an explanation as to why we could not get water while waiting, and the bartender took zero accountability. The staff here are incredibly rude for no reason.

I visited Dreo on a Wednesday night expecting a nice, relaxed dinner, but unfortunately it happened…read moreto be Music Trivia Night. While that may appeal to some customers, it created an extremely loud environment that felt more like a bar than a restaurant. Between the amplified music, announcements, and crowd participation, it was difficult to have a normal conversation at our table. For diners looking for a quieter meal, it's worth knowing that Wednesday nights may not be the best time to visit. The service was friendly and attentive throughout the evening, and most of the food was good. We ordered the Caprese Salad, Chicken Bacon Ranch Flatbread, Grilled Chicken Pesto, and a Mango Poke Bowl. I understand there was a recent menu change, which is why my daughter decided to try the poke bowl. Unfortunately, while the ingredients seemed fresh, she felt the sauce didn't complement the dish well and threw off the overall flavor. Given the $26 price tag, that was disappointing. The pricing was another area that stood out. Most of the menu is on the higher end of casual dining, but what really caught my attention was the $5.99 charge for a bottle of San Pellegrino. Restaurant markups are expected, but nearly six dollars for bottled sparkling water felt excessive. Overall, Dreo has friendly service and some solid food options, but the combination of premium pricing, the disappointing poke bowl, and the very loud trivia-night atmosphere made it difficult to fully enjoy the experience. I would consider returning on a quieter night, but I think customers should be made more aware of how loud trivia nights can be before being seated.

Rae's Coal Fired Pizza…read more Salem "Complex electrical problems deserve complex pizza" -me This is an axiom I made up to justify buying an 18" pizza for lunch. I've been wanting to try all the heavy hitters of the New Hampshire pizza scene for awhile, but they all like to be in a tight pocket in Derry/Salem, and I flat out just don't come down here. Sure enough, duty called and I was a stone's throw away so got my favorite style of pizza here, the White. If I could describe this in one word, it would be Yuuuuuuuuuuuuum with exactly that many Us. Amazing cheese, life-altering roasted garlic oil, great chewy and crispy dough. If I lived nearby, they'd have to add a new category on the BMI after Morbidly Obese called Ricotta Body. Definitely give this place a try if you're into pizza that makes you question every pizza you've ever eaten prior to this.

Everything was delicious!…read moreWe all ordered the chicken kebab with rice, grilled vegetables, and a side salad, and for appetizers we shared pita chips with hummus and pita along with spanakopitas. For dessert they surprised me with a birthday slice of carrot cake, which was the perfect sweet ending. The space is beautifully decorated with floral aesthetics and a bright, welcoming atmosphere. There's even a real London red phone booth outside the entrance, and we each got a cute red phone booth keychain to take home, which was such a fun touch. For drinks, my friends tried the special martinis while I had the raspberry fizz, which was super refreshing and perfect for welcoming the spring season. The food was fantastic and the service was friendly and attentive. There's also plenty of parking, which is always a plus. The only tiny con was the music overhead was a bit loud... let's just say at one point our table conversation sounded more like we were at an indoor concert than having lunch. Another small downside was the bathroom situation--there seemed to be only one or two stalls for men and women, so there was a bit of a wait Overall, it was a wonderful birthday spot!
