I'm surprised I'm the first review as this place had been open for a few years. I suppose its…read morepatrons are mostly guests at the hotel. This is a bit surprising as hotel bars are often frequented by non-guests in larger cities (if they're good enough), and Pine at the Hanover Inn has plenty of local patrons. Anyway... the small-ish bar/lounge here is very tastefully appointed, and the food is quite good. As far as atmosphere, drinks, and food, this place should be doing a brisk business, but it seems nearly empty every time I pass it. I think I found out why... which is why I'm knocking twstars off for the service. My first glass of wine was a short pour, and then I had to wait 15 minutes (no exaggeration) for the refill after I asked for it. Overall, I felt rather ignored and often went very long stretches with no attention at all. I know good service staff is hard to come by in the Upper Valley, but this was a little ridiculous.

Last week I went to Murphy's for a date night with my fiancé. It was amazing. We sat in one of the…read morefront window tables. Our server was Molly. She was friendly, attentive, and had great recommendations. I don't drink, so i loved that they had NA beers and delicious mocktails - I went with the Lavender Lemonade. They also have one of the best daught beer menus in the upper valley. We split a Caesar salad and the summer harvest burrata, and oh my gosh, the burrata was incredible! We should have ordered 2, and not because of the size but because we were fighting over the last bite! Then we split the short rib risotto and the wild mushroom gnocchi with chicken (Molly's recommendation). They were both delicious! We're still thinking about them. And we had to finish it off with dessert, so we decided on the brownie with ice-cream...it was a perfectly warm and soft brownie - the kind you hope for! 5 stars for the food, the service, and the experience. The location speaks for itself - right next to the Dartmouth green. 10 out of 10 - would recommend for family/friend gatherings or date nights! We also usually stop there before walking to the dartmouth hockey games!

As a longtime local, I've seen Murphy's through its many incarnations. One thing has always…read moreremained constant: it has the best atmosphere in town. Whether you're in the mood for the buzz of the front bar or the quieter, more relaxed vibe of the back room, Murphy's lets you choose your scene. Sometimes though, particularly under the previous chef, the menu strayed too far from its pub roots, offering dishes that didn't match the spirit of the place - with the weak reviews to match. Thankfully, the new chef has struck the right balance. The current menu delivers all the classic pub favorites you'd expect alongside some more adventurous options. It's got that classic pub energy again; warm, welcoming, and food that feels right at home.

We sat at the counter at 8:30 am before the crowds showed up. Got coffee, a muffin (chocolate), and eggs. The food is good diner food. However, the muffin was great. Not too sweet and super chocolaty. Loved it. Can't say it's the best food I ever had. However worth the pop in.

The variety of "sides" includes black beans (which I got and loved!), baked beans, seasoned home fries, hash browns, and green salad. There are also so many "extras" to try. We tried the buttermilk biscuit with strawberry jam. It was so good! I loved the green goddess omelette, my friends loved the classic Benny, the pancakes, and the corned beef hash. We will definitely be back next time we're in the area.

Started with the Butter Board plus homemade chips with onion dip and I had a steak that was fantastic. Hard to describe what it came with other than the Bernaise sauce but I ate every dang bite of this perfectly mid-rare filet. Couple others got the salmon which looked perfectly cooked and the service was absolutely great. Super friendly and just the right amount of attentiveness.

I go on about that because it's rare. The crudo was very good; the lobster salad interesting but not that lobster-ry. And for a very light supper -- 12 oysters, 2 apps, a bread plate, a beer, a seltzer, and a coffee, $85 each felt rich. Other goods for Redcan are 1) WRJ needs places like this, 2) the lighting is pleasant too, 3) the jazz on the speakers was lovely and though the place was almost full we could converse easily. Lastly 4) our server McKenna was great; helpful and friendly. So it's def a great addition to the White River Junction scene, as a splurge.

Our hostess and later server, Leona, answered the phone and was extremely pleasant in letting us know she could get us seated. Leona recommended the Brussels and they did not disappoint with a perfect combo of roasted small Brussel sprouts with crispy prosciutto, goat cheese mousse and pickled red onions. What a great combo!! We also split the spinach salad which was perfect for winter with dried cherries, blue cheese, candied pecans and apples. We also had the artichoke fritters which had a subtle taste of artichoke and bits of tangy lemon. We split the ginger pork meatloaf and it was a creative, delicious take on traditional meatloaf. The flavor was reminiscent of the inside of a superb Peking dumpling. The dining room was decorated with beautiful area photos and there was beautiful display of custom designed knives that could be seen in a show case on the way to the restrooms. I took a photo because it may come in handy for a future gift for some aspiring chefs in my family! Excited to add Thyme to our list of stops in between our travels to and from MA to VT.

I found it impossible to find this burrito bowl hidden lunch spot in Hanover, NH reviews until …read more.. I found and entered the name of the restaurant in a web search. The burrito bowl-style menu is similar to a Chipotle offering but without the big franchise ownership attached. There are 3 locations, total, at time of reviewing. The prices are on the higher side but I believe it is because of the quality of the ingredients. The ingredients do taste absolutely fresh and it's a B Corp. So, they pay their employees $15 p/h, use bamboo bowls, naturally-raised meats and organic tofu and have certain causes which they support. Walking in, I immediately smelled a seasoning that I'm not used to smelling when I walk into a Mexican-based restaurant. I thought it might be cumin, but the chef said while they do use cumin, it's only in one recipe. I guess I smelled something like chili seasonings instead of the smell of roasted meats, so maybe they were preparing a sauce, or something. I really liked how friendly the employees were and the layout of the restaurant. The crew were helpful. The row of two booths is only for thin or small customers. I couldn't feel comfortable in one of those booths - no room - so we moved to the booths along the wall. I loved the artwork on the long wall! It was gorgeous and nice to know they support a local artist. I asked about what the BCorp aspect of the business supported and the employee told me she wasn't sure but to look on the back wall. I was too distracted by the gorgeous and colorful artwork to get back to the wall to eventually find out what the missions of the B-corp were. I also looked on the website for what their cause, but on a quick peruse, I couldn't find anything. Feel free to leave comments on this to help I and others, please. :) Things to make sure to try while you are here: the chocolate chip cookies, the mango salsa, the brown rice with cilantro and the nacho chips. The rice, especially, was good because it wasn't too brown and earthy. The guac had a vinegar flavor, which might be a regional New England style of prep here, since I've tasted that vinegar flavor in my guacamole before at another place. It's like those here up north like their guac tart with tang, but I'm not sure. I prefer just a slight lime taste. I tried the Teriyaki OG bowl. This is roasted broccoli, roasted carrots, caramelized onions, teriyaki sauce and rice. My advice: do get the teriyaki sauce on the side, or get it reduced in the amount of sauce they offer. The sauce was overpowering and had a less-than-homemade taste to it. The carrots are strongly and freshly marinated, which was a tasty surprise and would be good without swimming in the sauce. We got tofu added to our bowl and that was good. I did end up ordering another side of $3 rice after the fact to balance out the amount of sauce flavoring to it, however, instead of complaining about "my bowl was smothered in sauce." We also got the Summer Bowl with black beans, melted cheese, mango salsa and brown rice with cilantro. I don't recall any melted cheese flavor, but maybe it was the cojita. Loved the mango sauce: it tasted fresh and homemade. You can pick any protein. The grilled chicken was fine. I wonder what the carnitas taste like. Guessing the flavor is traditional. I also did not try the Magic Loco Sauce, but it sounds intriguing, for sure. Boloco bills itself as Modern Mexican, and since I don't know about what makes it modern, I wonder if it's basically the sauces and seasonings vs. the cooking preparation since the offering is basically a burrito and burrito bowl shop. I found a bottled green chili siracha on the table made in China, yet it tasted like a nice Thai sauce instead of a garlicky hot sauce. This hot sauce was not at all the flavor I was expecting because it was more velvety hot on the taste buds than crisp and spicy. (It's interesting that this sauce is made in China given that Siracha originated in Thailand.) So, if you want a Thai flavor at Boloco, and aren't going to dine at the nearby TukTuk Thai restaurant for the real deal, order the Boloco OG Bowl with no sauce and use a bit of the Green Siracha hot sauce on the table, to your liking. I loved that there was also a Tabasco brand Siracha - made stateside - on the table, as well. Didn't try it out of this trip. The nacho chips are delicious! They are not too course, sturdy and salty. Get the chocolate chip cookies because they are very good. Homemade and tasty. And they looked homemade, as well, which made them charming. Also, I got the bottled Coke vs. the Mexican bottle of Coke. Usually the bottles from Mexico are a bit more hyped. My bottled soda was energizing which is probably excellent for students. Finally, I loved that after eating this meal that I had energy, instead of feeling sluggish. This is credited to a campus restaurant which decides to offer a higher-end version of a Chipotle with B-Corp values.
