Every plate felt elevated yet comforting, making the whole experience feel special from start to finish. We got: MUSSELS Steamed with apple, applewood smoked bacon, fennel, and hard cider, served with crusty bread. The broth was incredible--lightly sweet from the apple, aromatic from the fennel, and enriched with the smoky richness of the bacon. The mussels were plump and perfectly cooked, and the broth was so good that the crusty bread barely stood a chance. A bright and cozy way to begin the meal. LOBSTER BISQUE Silky, warm, and deeply flavored with poached lobster and a drizzle of tarragon oil. The bisque had that perfect balance of sweetness from the lobster and richness from the cream, while the tarragon added a subtle herbal lift. Each spoonful felt luxurious without being overly heavy, and the pieces of lobster were tender and generous. DIVER SCALLOPS Perfectly seared scallops with a beautiful caramelized crust, served over a smoked pea and butter emulsion with bacon lardon and tarragon and maple glazed heirloom carrots. The combination of flavors was exceptional--the smoky peas, the sweetness of the carrots, the salty crunch of the bacon, and the delicate, tender scallops came together in one of the most well-rounded plates of the night. PAPPARDELLE ALLA BOLOGNESE Fresh pappardelle coated in a slow-simmered sauce made with pancetta, beef, tomato, and Parmesan cheese. The pasta was tender with just the right bite, and the sauce was rich and comforting with layers of flavor from the pancetta and beef. Every bite felt like the best kind of Italian comfort food, hearty but refined. MOUNT WASHINGTON STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING Warm, soft, and wonderfully indulgent with bourbon sauce poured over the top and vanilla ice cream slowly melting into the sponge. The flavors of caramel, toffee, and bourbon made it the kind of dessert you wish would never end. A stunning finale to an already memorable dinner. Everything was so flavorful and delicious. 1902 delivered a dinner that was both refined and deeply satisfying.

Their service is consistent and the atmosphere sets you back in the early 1900s with unique New England decor and original architecture.

The atmosphere felt calm and inviting, with generous portions and thoughtful flavors that elevated the entire experience. We got: CRISPY CALAMARI Light, crunchy, and fried just right so the exterior stayed crisp without feeling heavy. The banana peppers added a bright, tangy heat that kept each bite lively, and the homemade lemon garlic aioli brought a smooth, citrusy richness. A refreshing and flavorful start to the meal. STICKNEY'S SMASH BURGER A no bun version made with two juicy 4 oz patties, Cabot sharp cheddar, lettuce, crispy onions, and housemade barbecue sauce. The patties had a great sear and depth of flavor, the cheddar added the perfect sharpness, and the crispy onions provided a fun contrast in texture. The barbecue sauce was balanced with just the right hint of sweetness and smoke. Even without the brioche, it was completely satisfying. LOBSTER SALAD CLUB SANDWICH Sweet Maine lobster mixed with capers, shallots, celery, dill, and a decadent brown butter mayonnaise, layered with applewood smoked bacon, tomatoes, and lettuce on toasted wheat bread. The lobster pieces were huge and incredibly fresh, the brown butter mayo added rich depth, and the smoky bacon tied everything together beautifully. Every bite felt indulgent and full of texture and flavor. A wonderful lunch with hearty portions, delicious dishes, and views that made the whole meal feel that much more memorable. Stickney's was such a pleasant surprise and definitely a place worth returning to.

Good enough atmosphere. It's not Bailiwicks, but good enough... Their bar area is super lively, I like it a lot. We both *don't* love the one and only, unisex bathroom that is always out of hand soap and not always super clean (according to Boyfriend who had to lift the seat.......). They need to keep an eye on that... Waitress was ok. A very loud talker. Food was amazing! I had both their "specials" - the fiddle heads appetizer and the Lamb chops... which were also served with fiddle heads, and a delicious risotto (I didn't realize the lamb was also served with fiddle heads, if I had, I would have tried a different appetizer - but that's my fault because I'm sure she must have mentioned it). Everything was amazing. Lamb was so tender and perfectly flavored. Boyfriend had the hanger steak and duck fat fries and loved it too. Says it's some of the best fries he's had! I'm not much of a dessert person but I like trying stuff at restaurants where I know it will be homemade. I had some whipped cream and butterscotch dessert and it was great - couldn't finish as I was full, but no regrets. We will be back! I love that their menu changes seasonally, it keeps things very interesting.

Only downside was the bagged fries, switch to hand cut fries to push the experience over the top!! Brittany was a great server, knowledgeable and friendly. Gluten free options are very welcomed and my daughter really enjoyed the GF brisket.

And because of that, needed me some food. Was torn between Schilling (drank there, but didnt want pizza) and here, and ended up coming here. Food: -wings- got the garlic parm, they were pretty good, right amount of time in the fryer, maybe a smidge more of the garlic parm would have been nice, and good bleu cheese. would order again -nachos - meh, the people a few seats down from me had them and were raving about them, to me, they were just, nachos. Nothing special, nothing stood out. Beer: -Had a nice draft list when I was here, but I had to drive in an hour, so just got a small pour of a Maine Beer Co beer i've had before, and it was priced right. Service: -Great, the hostess was friendly, the bartender was nice, and the runners were nice too. Overall, i'd come back here if I was in town.

They are doing a wonderful job, and I am so, so glad they didn't come and go like the other restaurants in that spot before it. You probably knew that from the other reviews, but I have another reason I am writing this. I came here with my husband one night months ago, and he got a cocktail that had cherry and bourbon as the main flavors. I stole most of it from him :D. It was so good that every time I get another cocktail somewhere else, even if it is good, I just wish it was the cherry bourbon one. So, if you're there and they still have it on the menu, I suggest you get it. And if the establishment is reading this, my vote is to keep that one around.

The good: the server & the chocolate cake…read more The bad: the wait. There were 4 of us. We were told it would be a half hour; not too bad. We got our little buzzer and we were told to stay within a half mile. We sat outside across the street on a bench. We watched numerous groups of 3+ go in and not come back out, which means they were seated. When, after 40 minutes, we were called in, none of those groups were at the bar. Kinda makes you wonder. We ordered cokes. $5 each and got refills, but when the bill came was shocked to be charged for every refill! We spent more on cups of Coke than the actual effing meal!!! Ordered the steak medium. It was rare. Oh well, was hungry and didn't want to wait any longer. But it was good. Buffalo chicken cheese curd fries were good, but chicken was dry. The cheesecake was not tasty at all. The burger was "mid," according to my son.

The fondue was a great idea. They serve it with pieces of cut up bread. I wish there were some different items to dip in the fondue besides the bread. The pretzel bites were great and the mustard spread was even better. It was tough to dip the pretzels in the cheese sauce because the mustard was so good. The service was really good even though there was only one waiter on that shift. He worked really hard and was fast at serving a full house,

My wife and I didn't know what to expect. The menu looked small but interesting and we were told…read morethat this is the place to eat in Littleton so we made a reservation for the lower dining room. It is a nice-sized dining room with comfortable tables, benches, and chairs. On our next visit, we will sit in the upper dining room or at the bar located at the upper dining room for no other reason than personal preference. The bar is not super large but very old school, dark and comfortable. Our server was excellent. He did a great job walking us through the menu, the day's specials, and all of the various drinks that they offered. We began with drinks. The Cosmopolitan that I had was a slightly different formulation with a float of Prosecco which was amazing. My wife had a gin-based drink with rosemary that was also excellent. We began with appetizers including crispy broccoli with Gorgonzola and buffalo sauce and a green tomato topped with a stuffed ravioli with cheese and a wonderful sauce. They were fantastic. My wife had mushroom ravioli and I had the special rib eye steak with fresh green beans and an amazing sauce. The steak was perfectly prepared and the beans had excellent snap and color. We split a dessert and settled on the Olive Oil cake with ice cream. The cake was moist and super flavorful. The price was not crazy considering what we received. We will eat here again on our next visit.

The only disappointment was the Poutine. I think we were expecting cheese curds, but it was just topped with some shredded cheese.

Overall I found the entire experience to be lackluster compared to how it was in previous years. The first thing we saw when we arrived was the hostess and I was shocked by her outfit. Her dress was far too short and not appropriate at all for a holiday or the level of upscale dining we were paying for. We were seated immediately but then service dragged. We got bread long before our drinks. Our first course came quickly but the soups were lukewarm at best. I had the apple salad and found it to be extremely refreshing and not at all what I expected but in a good way! The star of the meal was dinner, however, they gave me the wrong side. The waiter did quickly remedy the situation but again for this level of dining I expected better. The prime rib was absolutely out of this world. The herb crust was amazing. However I was quite disappointed with the presentation it was dropped on top of the mashed potatoes and bled over everything. My mother had the thanksgiving dinner and she loved it. She especially liked the sausage stuffing which is not something she would normally eat and was impressed by it. The desserts were average and to be honest I again expected better. For three people we paid about $450. If I am spending that much money on dinner I want to be floored by the entire experience and I just wasn't. If I'm being completely honest the prime rib saved this review. So I hope the chefs get credit for it!!
