I discovered this place on our drive up north and wasn't quite sure what to expect after looking at…read morethe menu online. When I first walked in, I wasn't impressed by the interior decor or layout. It felt a little odd, especially with the bar tucked away in the back right. The space seemed like it had recently taken over from a previous restaurant and didn't feel very unique or cozy. The hostess seated us quickly on a Friday night, but we weren't greeted by a waiter for about five minutes. We ordered soups to start. The French onion was great, but the tomato soup wasn't anything special. The Hell on Noodles dish sounded interesting, even though I'm not great with spicy food. The waiter said it wasn't too spicy, but I would disagree. It was delicious, just too spicy for my liking. My boyfriend ordered the pho with grilled chicken and really enjoyed the authentic flavors. Both dishes came in generous portions.

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.

I was there last night on a Friday and sat at the bar and had dinner with my partner. The food was…read moreexcellent. I had Mr. Miyagi. It was excellent. My partner had the short rib ravioli which was also excellent. We are whiskey/bourbon drinkers and the one thing that whiskey/burboun drinkers like in their old fashioned type drinks are single, large ice rocks and not the little broken ice chips that easily dilutes your drink. These are so easy to make yourself. Just buy an ice tray that makes them. The other thing whiskey/bourbon drinkers like in their drinks are the bourbon cherries and not just the plain maraschino cherries. Just two easy recommendations to elavate the experience. The staff was also very friendly.

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.

Got the shrimp platter and it was worse than frozen quality accompanied by "green bean and onions" (aka: canned beans and sliced raw onion) and "maple glazed carrots" (watery overcooked carrots with syrup poured on them) Arguably one is the worst lunches in recent memory. With cheesticks with 2 beers the check came to almost $50 I tipped generously out of courtesy but may never return. A far cry from what they were as "Jim eddys" Oh, and the server left our glasses empty nearly the whole meal even though there was hardly anyone else there. Hopefully yesterday was a fluke.

Walking in we thought this place was very cute. It definitely has a rustic feel to it. We…read moreprobably waited about a minute to be seated but the hostess/waitress was busy taking orders. We were given a menu as we were seated and she returned to get our drink orders quickly. The menu here isn't huge, but had a good variety. I opted for fish n chips, my mom and dad both ordered the clam strips, my uncle had pot pie, and my aunt had the fried chicken dinner. Brussel sprouts were the vegetable of the day. I remember that only because I hate them, lol. None of us ordered the veg. Because my aunt had fried chicken she said it would take a bit longer. It wasn't a horrible wait, though, and we all really enjoyed our meals. The haddock was cooked perfectly and I love the tartar sauce there! I meant to take pictures but was to busy eating. Was to full for dessert but they sounded amazing!

Service was crappy, and it took one hour to get some chicken wings, a salad and burger. Everyone that came in after us, got there food first, and I was told that is normal. It is not normal to dismiss paying customers. The wings are good, but the salad was so bad, it couldn't be eaten. I will never eat there again. It is not worth the aggravation. The place sucks. Don't waste your time going there, they treat outsiders like they are crap.

We started off with drinks - I got the seasonal appletini and my boyfriend got a gin. I got the seasonal beet salad which was very good.

Normally he salts all his food and he didn't even salt his pasta dish and he said it was delicious. For dessert we had the tiramisu which was good. Overall 5/5 Highly recommend and we will definitely make it a point to come back if we are in the area again!
