She said "I'm not gonna do that, so if you're not ok with contamination then that's not for you". I was like- you can't take two seconds to just wipe it down? I got up and left- I have never EVER had an issue at a breakfast place in my life. They weren't busy- it's a Monday morning, no reason that should have been an issue. I will never go here again.

Have a triple bypass, eat some pizza, then come right back for a quadruple bypass! I jest, but I obviously cannot review my actual doctors and procedures.

My insurance would prefer that I would stay home though.

When it comes to talking about a place such as this, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center is far more…read morethan just one single hospital. It's an entire medical "city", if you will. As such, this review will be broken down into the following categories: the staff and the medical services they provide, the overall layout and atmosphere of the facility itself, and, of course....the quality of cuisine offered at the local food court. Before I start though, a small caveat worth mentioning: when I first researched this facility, I quickly discovered there are (once again) TWO Yelp pages dedicated to the same facility. And yes, I checked--it's definitely the SAME place, save for "one" vs "1" in the address line. Regardless, it's pretty bizarre how the "one" is holding a 1.8 star average at the time of writing this review. Whereas, this page here ranks closer to how I would rate them. For context, the majority of reviews on the former consist mostly of folks who discuss individual experiences. Whether or not these are entirely accurate isn't for me to judge. But it's worth taking note that individual experiences are, indeed, anecdotal in the much larger picture. Not even MY reviews are totally sacrosanct. I just give my opinion in the most entertaining way I know how. In the end, we can all agree to disagree, if we must. With that disclaimer out of the way, we can go over what I personally experienced here. We'll start with the thing I liked least about Dartmouth.. Overall layout: Whilst the interior of this medical facility is very well sanitized and easy enough to navigate through, the same cannot be said about their labyrinth of a parking lot. When we first pulled up, we actually parked in a totally different wing, apparently. See, we were here to get a surgical procedure done for my son's shoulder. I guess the department that handles most surgeries is located near 4W. This series of buildings being essentially its own town isn't so much a problem in and of itself. Navigating the streets within said town, however, is a f*#king train wreck! I swear...I missed my turn 4 separate times over because the signs are confusing in the way they are oriented. I know for a fact I'm not the only one who experienced this either because as I was watching other drivers navigating, well....it was a bit like watching the bumper cars at Canobie Lake Park. I'm not really sure what the solution should be here. I just know whatever they have in place now is all but completely broken. Moving onto the staff and their services, everyone here was nothing short of professional and accommodating. They took very good care of my son and that's all I could ask for. It was also cool seeing all the advancements in medical technology they have on site. Clearly, the funding here is copious. This would have already earned them all the stars if not for the parking lot faux pas. Lastly, we can discuss the food court real quick. Since surgery was projected to last a minimum of 2 hours, we checked out two places: The Works Cafe (which is basically breakfast sandwiches and other things) and Sbarro (self explanatory). Long story short: the former is slightly better than the latter, but both are about what you would expect in a typical medical facility. Sbarro claims to have NY style pizza. But anyone who's lived in NH for longer than 6 months will understand that our options for legit NY style pizza (much less, good pizza in general) are few and far between. BLUF: this stuff ain't it, but comes close enough. 6 out of 10. The Works Cafe has a lot more options, IMHO. The bagel sandwich I had was...fine. I just wish they knew how NOT to burn the grains on an onion bagel. I was, however, grateful the coffee didn't suck. They offer lots of brew selections, actually! 7 out of 10. Anyway, that's been my experience here at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. I'm not sure why that other page has so many negative reviews or why this place even has two pages to begin with. I'm not sure if the complaints were 100% legit or if at least a portion of them were written by a bunch of over-complaining "Karens". All I have are my two-cents, for whatever that's worth. And I'm here to tell you....this place ain't that bad, even in spite of its flaws. Dartmouth-Hitchcock in Lebanon gets 4 newly repaired shoulder joints out of 5.

Are you kidding?! This place should not be in a medical center, but a café all its own! I've…read morenever had food this incredible in any hospital or medical center in my life. More than that, it compares very favorably against most lunch places I've ever been to, as well! Apparently, they are host to a few chefs from the New England School for Culinary Arts, or whatever the school is called. It shows. Day one: autumn harvest pasta with seasonal vegetables and a cider reduction. Say wha...? Day two: cream of onion soup with parsley oil and crab two ways. Okay, that's just insane. And so incredibly delicious! For breakfast, they have homemade granola and locally sourced yogurt with actual vanilla seeds. I was completely floored by the quality of the food. This was an incredible find, and I cannot wait to visit again in the future!

The selection of entrée items is absolutely the most I've ever seen in a restaurant, it made it hard to decide. I asked the waitress and she said the chicken Cordon Bleu was one of the top items so that's what I picked. It was basic stuffed ham n cheese in the chicken breast, it wasn't breaded, which I liked. It was smothered in a kind of a gravy or white sauce, not quite sure what sauce it was. Hot fresh baked rolls, a basic chopped iceberg lettuce house salad and baked potato included. Also ordered was the chicken tender dinner, very plentiful, enough for 3 people I'd say. Sadly the dipping honey mustard was so bad, like salad dressing with vinegar flavor, not good! I had a glass of Merlot, I'm not sure I've seen an eight dollar glass of wine on a menu in the last decade, so that was pleasant. In general, the server was very efficient, the host not so friendly, and the place was spacious but has very dated decor, which some may consider part of its charm. Unfortunately we're sitting by some very noisy people, taking phone calls and playing sports out loud on their phones acting like they owned the place, kind of ruined atmosphere. But they knew the staff and must think that behavior was acceptable. Bottom line we needed to eat and it was food.

That's a problem imo. I ordered the chicken Milanese. Sooooooo much arugula salad but that was dressed nicely. The chicken was super crispy but it was easy to tell it had been fried earlier and reheated. It was so dry! The pasta was delicious. The steak tips were not marinated as advertised. Oh and the waitress never checked on us mid-meal. We would've definitely ordered some wine. So. A different experience than two years ago. What a bummer

I love the "mess-hall" trays they serve the food on, its little touches like that that make a place like this unique. Food was reasonably priced and was tasty. In retrospect I wish I tried the Corncake's (on special) I also saw some dinner items and wish we were local enough to try. The one unfortunate thing that happened to me was that the coffee bar is self-serve. I took a coffee to go and when I got out to the car I noticed the lid was dirty (so I went back in to change it out ) no big deal but I ended up tripping really bad on an un-even "lip" in the sidewalk just outside the front door.

I tried my brothers steak and we both agreed it was the most unique tasting steak we'd ever had in a bad way. My mom ordered a dish that came with rice and it seemed as if it was a type of quick/instant rice and her meal wasn't enjoyable. She said the quality went downhill from previous years. I ordered the duck, and I could hardly cut it, it wasn't tender, it was extremely chewy and the flavor was almost tasteless and what I could taste wasn't good. The sides were better than the duck sadly. My little brothers got burgers and fries and I will say the fries easily best the rest of the food with their salt and skins still on. The prices are steep and are comparable to other "fancy" middle tier restaurants, another side note all of our dishes for 6 people came out within 10 minutes which says something. I wish our experience was different.
