We chose to have Easter dinner at Dreo and I am so so glad we did! Before we even got there I had…read morecalled a few weeks before to add a person to our reservation and they had no problem with it which was quite a relief! We had a party of 7 and we were very excited to finally try Dreo. We started with 2 orders of the calamari and the spinach dip special. My husband noticed the calamari also had shrimp which I am allergic to. They happily removed the shrimp but unfortunately it's fried in the same oil (which is completely logical) but everyone at our table (besides me) throughly enjoyed the calamari. I cannot even begin to explain how good the spinach dip was. I'm not sure I'll have want to eat spinach dip without garlic bread again!!! Next up entrees: 2 ribeyes, 1 NY strip, 1 Korean BBQ Bowl, 1 Soy Maple Glazed Salmon, and 1 Tuscan Fried Chicken. I am newly pregnant and to be honest I was not looking forward to eating out because my go to is rib eye but I refuse to eat well done meat so instead I ordered the Tuscan fried chicken. I also asked to sub the mashed potatoes for truffle fries and the veggie medley for green beans. They had no problems with my requests which I loved. I loved every single bite of my chicken and I actually stopped caring that I was missing on steak! In fact every single person at our table loved everything they ate too. We ended our meal with cookie skillets and again absolutely delicious! Now our meal was fantastic by itself but I have to say our waiter Brett was just as amazing!! He couldn't have done a better job and he totally rolled with our parties over the top personalities. Even if the food wasn't outstanding we'd go back just for the service! I really hope of the owners or managers see this; Brett is fantastic and deserves praise!! We will definitely be back and since I still have about 7 and half months to go I will be coming back for more Tuscan fried chicken soon!!

The vibe was out of this world - they had live music which was so nice, and besides a bar there is a community table where seating was available immediately. I loved the copper front door! The servers checked on me at least 3 times. Ordered the French onion soup, fish and chips and sangria. The French onion soup is one of the best I have tasted, 5 stars! Bread was absolutely delicious (only wish they had salted butter). The mocktail sangria was also amazing. Fish and chips wasn't too impressive I don't think I'll order it again - the tartar sauce was too thin in texture and I think there needed to be a little more salt in the batter? But the haddock was fresh and I slept peacefully after my meal. I have visited almost every other restaurant in the area including expensive ones in Tuscan village but this one was the best!

I really liked the flavors and the cowboy butter. Food took a little longer than expected but we still made it to the concert on time.

What we found to be a bit uninspiring where the suggestions offered as their most popular dishes. Often times you ask the server for suggestions. Though I wasn't planning on getting a burger it did come highly recommended. So I went with the Shed burger. The burger is pretty large and it comes loaded with toppings. It comes with red pastrami, caramelized onions cheese, and mustard on a roll. What it seemed to be was a frozen patty that was thrown on the grill. I might not be so critical if they didn't make that big of a deal out of it. Fairly tasteless and not juicy at all. Other recommendations we tried as well none of which were highly liked.

The restaurant is spacious and has a variety of seating options, and was decorated nicely for the holiday season. We got to choose our booth, as it wasn't too busy, and we absolutely loved the service. Our server, Olivia, could not have been better - she was attentive but didn't stop by too often, knew what we needed before we even asked, and made our evening memorable. I ordered a creamy espresso martini which was so bomb. To eat, I had a side caesar (fantastic and perfect size) and the cast iron mac n cheese, which I liked but didn't love. It was a little liquidy for my taste and could've used a bit more flavor, but I enjoyed the crunchiness of the Ritz cracker topping. My boyfriend had the bbq steak tips, and to our delight, they were offering an all-you-can-eat steak tip deal, so he got an additional plate of tips to go for only ~$20 total. Needless to say he was a happy man lol. Final note is that we were obsessed with the playlist and the fact they had a pillow-fighting competition airing on the TV. Super entertaining. We will 100% be making Millers Tavern a new go-to spot!

Ya know, reading some of the previous reviews on this place can be a bit like riding the Yankee…read moreCannonball at Canobie Lake. There are highs, mids, AND lows. Despite all that, I can tell you upfront that our experience was more or less sublime. Naturally, there was one setback in particular that I just can't ignore (which we'll cover later). First, the good.. Clam chowder: Now, this was a March special. So, it's not on the regular menu, far as I can tell. But let me just say...this is by FAR some of the best damn chowder I've had in a restaurant! Granted, we're in New England. So, I'd expect nothing less. Just the same, it's worth mentioning. This chowder was perfectly seasoned to the point of not needing anything additional. And it had ALL the clams! SO many clams!! 10 out of 10, they really need to make this one more often! Queso dip: Again, we have a cheese sauce that's beautifully seasoned and creamy as all get out. One thing that perplexed us was the meat (or lack there of). We thought it would consist of larger chunks, but it was minced. Odd. I also would have enjoyed this one a lot more if the chips weren't so heavily salted. 8 out of 10, the cheese sauce is like liquid gold. Tavern burger: One thing I noticed both here and at the Derry location - not one person had taken a photo of the burgers. Like....ANY of them. So, I'm a guy who likes to view what he's about to get into. Far as first impressions go, this burger looked delectable! I'm talkin' the perfect charred sear, temperature nailed, cheese beautifully melted over top. Not to mention the kaiser rolls they used were brilliantly crisp on the outside, with a soft interior. Thing is....this burger would have been damn near perfect, if not for one thing: it was under seasoned. Quite weird, considering the hand cut fries were well seasoned. 9 out of 10, I'd still get this again and just sprinkle salt on the bottom or something. And for those wondering, wifey enjoyed her salmon salad also. Now then, I came across something peculiar when we first entered the place. When I went to utilize the facilities, one of the restrooms was allegedly closed for maintenance reasons. I say "allegedly" because, turns out....that was only HALF true. You see, their sink was broken. Okay. Fine. Whatever. It would have been helpful if they, ya know....mentioned the sink was broken as opposed to letting everyone THINK the restroom itself was ostensibly closed (as per the sign on the door). The whole thing was misleading and, quite frankly, unnecessary. Felt like a damn goober standing there in front of an almost perfectly functioning restroom. Btw, yes....they had hand sanitizer at the ready to accommodate the lack of sink in one bathroom. Anyway, service was excellent. Just a note though: it's loud as hell in here as you can very well imagine a bar & grill would be. But I weathered the storm easily thanks to my Loop Earplugs (no, that's not a plug. I swear!). So, yeah....overall, not that bad. No where near as bad as some folks suggested. Perhaps that was a different time. In any event, we shall return for future date nights. Till then, Friendly Red's Tavern in Windham is worth 4 bad ass burgers charred to utter perfection out of 5.

The guy behind the counter was very nice about all our questions as we were newbies.

These each came with a drink (from a select set of options,but a decent variety). While grabbing these from the cold case we saw the tres leches cake and cheese cake so had to have those too!

I like the casual comfortable ambiance there. We were ignored by the elderly bar staff as they were busy cleaning up to close. Oh, they close at 9:30, more than an hour from when we arrived but clearly that was their priority. They finally took our drink and food orders. I asked if I could get a side salad instead of fries and she said no, just green beans or asparagus. The drink took awhile although it was NOT busy. My martini was about 2/3 full, so in reality not a full drink. My dates burger was shoe leather and mine was raw. Literally red and cold in the center. I showed the waitress and she said "I'm not sure what to do about that". She asked if I wanted a new one and I said yes. (I think she wanted me to give her permission to just microwave it.) She never asked my date how his was until he was done and when he told her it was overcooked she said nothing. When she returned with my new burger he was already done eating. The ramekin of ketchup on the plate was spilled all over the fries and part of the burger. I hate ketchup so this was a problem and I told her so. She just laughed and said "really?!" I ate about half my burger (the half without ketchup on it) and no fries. She asked if I wanted a box and I said absolutely not. She offered a free dessert but we were really done at that point. Service is everything. I should have waited an hour at copper door where you always get amazing service and food. If anything at all is wrong they take care of it. They don't make you feel like you are bothering them and they can't wait for you to leave so they can go home! Zero stars tonight common man.

Long story short, they gave me a 25 dollar gift card to come back and try the fish. And they have the best loyalty points ever. Great place
