Scrambled eggs
Joyce K.

We went for breakfast on a Sunday. There was a musician on guitar and vocals in the dining room. He was fine but beyond loud for the space. We asked to be moved and were accommodated. The food took about 50 minutes and was not good. Scrambled eggs overdone and not good and over easy eggs burnt in some parts and underdone in others. Pancakes were not tasty. Our server was nice, but overall not pleasant morning out for brunch.

Nutty Irish coffee

Brunch was outstanding! While in the area we visited the Grille...it was amazing. All the classics and several specials. The apple french toast was so good, the Nutty Irish too. Live music was perfect, all the favorites. The atmosphere was warm and friendly, the local hang out. The only regret is we will not be in the area longer to try more of the menu!

Well... this was a first. We left without eating, we took it home, and left no tip. That's how bad the experience was. Started off normal as we was seated relatively quickly and we waited for a few for the waitress as they were busy. She took our drink order, margarita and a draft beer, which came back promptly. We ordered at that time. A turkey club with fries and a cheeseburger with Swiss only mayo and tomato with onion rings as well as an appetizer of potato skins. As we ordered a family of 4 was sat behind and our waitress immediately went to their table and took drinks. As we waited for our appetizer we was seeing food moving quickly out of the kitchen. It took 20 minutes for the appetizer to show which was warm at best. After those arrived we overheard a waitress tell another that we need to close the kitchen. That concerned us a little however we've already placed our order. At the one hour mark and after the another round of drinks the waitress told us our food was to be out shortly. We had concerns at this point that our meals were to be correct and hot. It's now been 1 hour and 20 minutes and the family of 4 gets their food before ours. We was immediately upset and expected our food to be hot at minimum. Then our food came out and not even close. My burger was without Swiss and with fries. The turkey club was haphazardly put together and the bread not toasted with warm fries. When the waitress came to check she said she'd bring mayo but we'd had enough and asked for boxes. An hour and half for cold food wasn't worth setting their anymore. The burger was taken off because they left the rings off. I made sure that I left a note on the bill for the manager which was nonexistent that I wasn't going to be back. It read "1.5 hours for cold food and won't be back. Had a great experience last time." Had to go up the road and get fast food because we was still hungry for hot and correct food.

Lots of options...like it

Happy Fathers Day not so good. Over an hour after ordering breakfast and no food. May have lost my business. Too bad really.

The design of the place is simple, clean, classic. Service was very quick and responsive, answered…read moremy questions without hesitation. The food, I ordered the tonkotsu ( pork bone broth Ramen) was absolutely delicious. The ramen were firm, a bit chewy in a good way, the vegetables were crisp, the pork belly was decadent. The flavors are layered so perfectly that each spoonful they are dancing on your tongue. I will certainly return and now more often as the parking out back is free and convenient. R

Each time I come back to this place--now three or four visits in--I'm reminded why it's become one…read moreof my go-to spots. The service is consistently friendly and attentive, and the menu pairs perfectly with the excellent house cocktails from their full bar. The ramen bowls remain the highlight. The Spicy Tonkatsu Ramen, especially, is outstanding: a rich, deeply flavorful broth, tender pork, and that comforting warmth that hits the spot on a cold New Hampshire day. The Bao Bao buns are a great way to start the meal, and the Takoyaki--light, crispy spheres filled with diced octopus and drizzled with savory sauces--adds a fun, flavorful twist to the appetizer lineup. On our latest visit, we tried the Okdol Bibimbap. The presentation was appealing and the flavors were solid, but the dish leaned a bit too heavily on the rice compared to the protein and vegetables. A slightly more generous balance of toppings would bring it right up to the level of their other standouts. Even so, this place continues to impress, and I'm already looking forward to coming back and exploring more of the menu on my next visit.
