There have been many times where I've tried restaurants that had a lot of stars, but the local people are just inflating the reviews. - this is not one of those places. The food here is absolutely phenomenal. The speakeasy vibe even adds to the ambience. The drinks are strong yet not too strong. This restaurant is so good that I am now planning a trip with my wife and my friends to come back up to this area to ski just so I can bring them here and have their mind blown with how great the food is here. if there was an option to give six stars, I would!

So we heard about this place on one our trips to Keene. First time we ventured over, we picked a…read moreday when they were closed. Second time, we just stopped in for drinks. Third time I stopped in I had dinner. The bartenders and wait staff dress in 20's attire and the place has that prohibition feel to it. They make high-end cocktails but I usually stick with a gin and tonic. The menu is limited but the meal portion was generous. I had the chicken fried chicken. It was a huge piece of breaded chicken over mashed potatoes and asparagus topped with a traditional white gravy. Very tasty. We've added this establishment to our rotation when we visit Keene.

Wanted to try something new while staying in Keene between ski days. Given the current cold snap,…read moreit was right around the corner from where I was staying. I was solo so sat at the bar. Bartender didn't impress. Not sure he was experienced. Give away was putting olives on martini containing grapefruit juice, not mention an even number of olives (bad luck). The menus were fancy and I ordered a shaved roast beef sandwich with au jus. Shaved roast beef was on par with Steak-umms. French fries were your typical bagged fries. All in all it was ok at best. Was hoping for a little more given the quality of the other restaurants in the area.

First time was brunch and also not very good…read more Anyways ceaser salad was chopped to bits, the homemade dressing was okay, a few sad store bought croutons tried to liven it up. We also got the hot sauce marinated fried chicken sandwich, it was kinda wet and tough. Mass manufactured shoestring fries were also pretty sad fry wise. This used to be one of my favorite spots in Keene before we lived in Colorado. It changed hands a few years ago and hasn't been the same. The old menu was pretty small, and that is usually a sign of freshness and quality control. Service was okay, polite, and mostly accurate until the bartender filled what was remaining of my soda water with tap water. I'd stick with alcohol if you are coming here. The chicken fingers and bacon wrapped chicken were usually winners, I'd try those before anything else. But honestly with the competition in Keene for dining options I'd rather go elsewhere. It seems like you are doing alright covers wise, and I hope both experiences were off moments for you. Sorry to

Although I do recommend u try this restaurant itself was a little surprised that if you are alone…read morethey do not offer for you to sit at the grill tables but if there are two people they ask. I have been to other Japanese hibachi restaurants where they will ask you if you want to wait until another person arrives. That being said, the food is good and lunch portion was quite large. The "soup" is a bit disappointing as it is just broth with two or three sad looking mushroom slices. The salad was good as was the meal itself although I wouldn't call it great. The steak was a little undercooked for me but I wasn't asked if I wanted it well or medium or anything. The chicken was tender and the sauce pretty good. I thought the rice lacked flavor as did the noodles and it all seemed pretty salty. The veggies were good and the hot tea did have a nice flavor. Id try it again with someone.

Food was great was service left something to be desired - took about 40 minutes for our food to come out and my entree and app came out in the wrong order, and at the end I had to chase down our server to pay. But the food was great, delicious, fresh, and I would definitely recommend it for anyone in the area looking for a nice dinner out! Just make sure you have plenty of time to spare I got the "sexy roll" and beef tataki, my friend got the shrimp fried rice and spicy tuna roll - everything was good!

As a complementary drink, we are having a "rose pine." That's what they call it. It's nice! I taste ginger! For my drink, I'm having a Cinnamon Maple Whiskey Sour made with whiskey, lemon, maple syrup and cinnamon. I like the traditional Indian glass. This tastes good! It does lack a garnish though. My only gripe here is that it took a while (20-25 minutes?) for the drinks came out considering the number of tables here (4-5). For my entree, I'm having chicken vindaloo made with peppercorn, vinaigrette and masala chili sauce. They have a 1-5 heat rating. 5 baby! It's tasty and pretty hot! Wow! What a great meal!

She responded "oh I'm happy to throw away $20 worth of meat". Rude and inappropriate.

After 4-5 very pleasant experiences this was enough so that We will NEVER spend another red cent in this establishment.

Our group of seven was seated right away thanks to our reservation, but the wait for both drinks and food was on the longer side. Our server apologized multiple times, which we appreciated, and we passed the time playing phone games with the kids to keep them busy. The pierogies were a highlight, with a nicely crispy exterior and a creamy filling, and the shoestring fries came out salty and crunchy. My chicken cordon bleu sandwich, though, didn't really live up to the name, and the side salad was pretty plain with just a basic vinaigrette. My wife's grilled cheese with fried chicken strips also seemed a bit undercooked, and the chicken had a slightly rubbery texture. Overall it wasn't our best dining experience, but the atmosphere inside is very nice and the staff themselves are kind.

The food was fresh and well prepared but the "spicy" dishes (Spicy Dumplings with peanut sauce &…read moresome Thai Fusion Chicken with Basil & Pineapple) were extremely bland and flavorless. My dining companion got the Sushi appetizer and said it was decent. The vegetable tempura was very good, crisp and not at all greasy. The atmosphere is gray and dismal and there was a couple nearby who was bickering loudly the entire time which was distracting. The building has seen much better days. The service was great. They are doing the best they can but the place has a definite post-covid sadness mood so we wouldn't eat in, we would get takeout (maybe) in the future but I'm not sure we would bother going there again .

Soups were really delicious when we were here and the fried rice tasted soft and light just like I love it. Still hard to find a healthy option that also tastes good other than sushi and most of the rolls include shell fish making me hesistant to order. For a Chinese food place the ambience seems to be a cross between industrial, water scape and some Asian decore. The service is very on top of things and for the most part very attentive.

It was 9pm and we pretty much had the place to ourselves. The staff were courteous and attentive and our waitress was very sweet. We didn't have to wait too long for our food and it was delicious. The sesame chicken was beautifully plated, complete with an edible orchid. The kung pao chicken and pepper steak came as you would expect so my husband and I teased the waitress about why we didn't get special plates with edible flowers. She was cute. The food was delicious and the portions just the right size. My husband asked for his king pao extra spicy and it definitely was not- but it's ok cause then we didn't mind sharing with him. I had the pepper steak and it was tender and flavorful. Everything was really good. If we lived nearby, we'd make it our go-to Panasian spot!
