The orders were taken (same) and only ONE came. 15 minutes later the 2nd one still hadn't come. It finally came & we took it to go. Pretty sad, but again, the Manager comped us our meals. We will probably never return (and we are in the local vicinity), so we're sad. Nice Wed-Fri meal deals. Oh well.

We didn't have one, but the hostess wanted us in and offered up the bar seating, which was totally worth at as we got a front row seat to the amazing bartender. Not sure what is going on with their clientele, but this guy made dozens of different drinks. It took awhile before he repeated a drink order. He was an expert! This joint is rocking a great vibe. Now let's talk food. They make their own pasta. Get the pasta limon, it's out of this world. This staff takes such great care of you. Can't wait to go back!

I went here to get away from all the seafood fare of New England, hoping for some good 'ol Italian…read more Well, I did get Italian - kind of. It's very new agey and different for the sake of being different. But, the pasta was delicious and high quality! The place has a major attitude problem, though. The aesthetics are off-putting and attract a crowd of the worst types of people. Had to listen to nothing but whiny spite and anger my entire meal from multiple groups of guests. The waiter was the worst aspect, though. I didn't even know he worked there when he approached me. He was dressed down more than a lot of homeless people I've seen. He also shared that same attitude of the guests and made my business feel like an inconvenience the entire time, having the nerve to expect a tip for bringing my food out to me, which I would have just done myself to avoid him. I can recommend carryout, if you absolutely have to have some pasta in this area, but not eating in, and don't get anything that seems weird on the menu. Location: 3* Convenience: 1* Service: 1* Product/quality: 4* Aesthetics: 1*

We visited The Copper Grouse for breakfast and dinner multiple times throughout our stay in…read moreManchester. Our key takeaway - very worth the higher cost for delicious food! For breakfast we enjoyed a bagel with lox, the breakfast sandwich and the eggs Benedict which we would order all again (in fact we did haha). For dinner we had a few wings and salad one evening and a more formal dinner for Valentine's Day. We had the lobster ravioli and the Braised Short Ribs which were absolutely fantastic. What made the experience that much better was our waitress Kate. We requested to have her a second night because of how fun, helpful and accommodating she was to us. On Valentine's Day a few things that could have put a damper on our evening were handled very professionally and we really appreciated it. Kate, if you're reading this, thank you so much for making our time visiting The Copper Grouse such an enjoyable experience!

However, we made it to their restaurant and it did not disappoint! The Copper Grouse had a very enticing menu so I was excited for this dinner. We started with the beef tartare app which was SO good that I cannot stop talking about it. I would typically go for a tuna tartare but this was excellent! For dinner, I ordered the Garganelli pasta dish. It was light and creamy. And ended the meal with one of their dessert specials that had white chocolate raspberry ice cream with strawberries - it was delightful. The restaurant itself was pretty cozy. Lots of high top and standard table seating along with a bar. They offered outdoor seating on the porch as well. There was also a fire pit set up outside with plenty of Adirondack chairs - I saw people drinking by the fire but I'm not sure if food is served in that area. Our server, Molly, was awesome!! Next time we are in Manchester, I plan to stay here - it's close enough to walk to town and the hotel / restaurant are highly recommended!

Overall would highly recommend for a chill place, food is much better here than seasons next door but completely different vibe.

Perfect sports bar/pub scene!…read more We had the option of eatting in the more quiet family friendly dining area or in the bar area. We opted for the bar area and it was a fun atmosphere! A lot of sports memorabilia and live sports on tv. It did get a bit loud since it was pretty packed but not a problem for two people at a small table. They had a hugeee beer tap list taking up two full pages on their drink menu! It was awesome to enjoy some new beers from local breweries we hadn't tried just yet. We will be back!

Genuinely came with high hopes, the menu looked so good that I was planning on dining…read morehere lunch and dinner as I was visiting nearby farms/shops which recommended this... but lunch was horrible. Mainly attributable to SERVICE which was HORRIFYING!! Ambiance was charming home setting outdoors and rustic wood vibe indoors. The food was average/iffy. Garlic peppercorn steak was encrusted with a layer of seasoning and yet it wasn't that seasoned in terms of flavor, was just ok. Ordered medium and yet it looked black on the outside and medium rare inside and beyond tough - I could not even cut the steak, I ended up just ended eating the whole thing straight up. So strange and not worth $30 at all. The Idaho skins were good just wish the potatoes were crispier. The signature applewood smoked wings were so overpriced and terrible. I could not taste any flavor, it tasted like boiled wings expensive 6 for $18. The worst part: service, or rather lack thereof.!! Upon entering, we waited awhile for someone to come greet and seat us and seemed to judge us when we clarifying what tavern was when we were asked if we wanted tavern or dining room. We were seated and took a LONG time until finally our server came to take our order. Then took an even longer time to get our food almost 20minutes. The other table that got seated after us the order the same wings at the same time, got their food 10 minutes earlier than us and their server was present throughout the meal . Ours just was nowhere to be seen throughout the entire time. Finally the food came, we ate quick, and asked for the check. We couldn't even find our server to get the check! The other table has already gotten the check and signing the bill. We then got up and tried to flag down our waiter to for the check and takeout box and after a long time she gave them but disappeared again for a long time so we tried to flag her down, again, so we could actually pay. When we did, she rudely said "do you see the things im carrying? can you wait?" Mind you, we have been waiting for nearly another 20 minutes after we finished eating for any appearance from the waiter. We tried asking the other waiter who was actually present if we could but said we needed to get our actual server. We finally finished the whole transaction (20min waiting for food, 20min spent flagging down the waiter for the check/giving the money), and frustrated we wasted so much time here while on a trip for just OK food, we just left because the server then disappeared AGAIN after settling our bill. Hilariously enough, the only time she seemed to care about us was when we left and she went RUNNING after us to ask us "you did not tip enough, did I do something wrong?" in a rude and fake overly concerned way. After we briefly explained, she proceeds to loudly shame us saying "you supposed to tip me xyz because I provide you a service and if not you're really disrespectful". The audacity. Service was beyond horrible!!! and still demanding higher tips calling customers disrespectful when we did nothing but wait and get yelled at by her for not waiting even longer and still needing to directly pay her extra tips. During that scolding we got, we saw her name tag: Avery. Overall: Foods ok. LONG WAIT for food and check. Horrifying service by one server: Avery. Perhaps other servers were better like the one who took care of the table who sat down at the same time and left 20 minutes earlier meanwhile our service was way slower, not as friendly, demanding tips, and public scolds/shames customers for it. This experience totally soured my impression of this place and now I'm questioning why people even recommended this place to me and why I went along with it!

Food - Very Bland, we ordered the shrimp scampi and veal parmesan and let's just say the scampi…read moreseemed like it was just boiled noodles and butter. The actual shrimp were salty. The Veal was ok but seemed like it could of have been previously frozen. Not to mention, these two entrees alone cost us ~$80. The appetizers were far better than the entrees. We honestly could of ordered wings and French onion soup and that would have been a better option. The salad was the best thing they served us. And no, not any of the salads on the menu, the complimentary salad that is served by the restaurant. Service - There was one waiter for the entire restaurant. He was really nice and seemed like a good guy, but they probably need to give him some help. We didn't get our drinks until about 30 mins into being at the restaurant and the entrees took over an hour to show up. The two stars here are for our servers positive and friendly attitude. Final Summary Notes - DO NOT come here for a nice dinner on any given weekend or evening. Only come here for appetizers and drinks and only sit at the bar.

It was really just pork belly dry not well seasoned and they only give you about six very small bites which seems ridiculous. I'm more of a fan of mighty Quinn's burnt ends. Brisket was all right, but the ribs and pulled pork dry as bone and felt like they were sitting around for a while. I didn't like the barbecue sauce & the Carolina Gold's barbecue sauce was a little heavy on the mustard. The butter for the dried out cornbread was really good, like a sweet butter I did not like the mac & cheese It is a nice spot with a beautiful outside patio, you're paying for ambience more than the food. But when the biggest compliment I could pay a place is that the butter was good, that's gotta tell you something...

This time, C and I split all the meats (brisket, ribs, sausage, turkey, pulled pork) with collard greens and coleslaw. It was more than we could handle, so some of it went home to a very happy dog. I struggled to pick a favorite meat of the five. Possibly the fall-off-the-bone tender ribs. Maybe it's the spicy sausage. But don't sleep on the unassuming turkey either, smoked to perfection. Coleslaw was crunchy and cool. Collard greens were tender and flavorful. The pickled vegetables are a great palate cleanser. And if you're an IPA fan, the fact that you can just get a can of Alchemist's Heady Topper might be reason alone to come. It's consistently one of the top rated beers in the country. Bonus points for being open every day of the week. Even with our weird Sunday to Tuesday schedule, we can eat here any time.
