It's def one of our mother daughter special spots. I'm on a mission to try everything on the menu at least once and I was told the Crispy Chicken cutlet was a crowd favorite and it's safe to say I agree and I could not stop talking about it last night. It's made with two chicken cutlets crisp to perfection giving you that nice crunch with each bite. Inside you've got flavors of peperonata, fresh mozz, smeared pesto aioli , arugula on a thick ciabatta roll. It's a mix of comfort and quality all in one. I really enjoyed the mix of all the vibrant flavors here. Pair it with their sweet potato fries and you got yourself a real deal of a meal! My mom got the Handformed burger cooked medium on a brioche bun . It consists half-pound patty, bacon, white cheddar, lettuce, pepper mayo, She said it was one of the best burgers she's had in a long time and she's a harsh critic so that says a lot. She also enjoys the sweet potatoe fries here as well . Ps every Wednesday is Wine night which is 1/2 price bottle of any wine of your choosing . We showed up not knowing that and we may just make it a Wednesday tradition "Wine down Wednesday" :) Our server Lauren was excellent , it was a packed house and you can def see they have quite a few regulars myself included. It makes you feel like it's the friendly neighborhood restaurant!

We got the Korean fried chicken to start - the crispiness was perfect - and the beer battered haddock sandwich to split. It was SO nice that the sandwich arrived in 2 perfect half portions with half portions of fries too! The passionfruit iced tea was amazing. Everything tasted great and sitting outdoors on the patio with a breeze was such a nice way to break up our long drive. We took a walk around Cotton Hollow Preserve afterwards - right next door. I'd definitely return to this lovely restaurant in the future!

We stopped at Cottin Hollow Kitchen for lunch on our way up to New Hampshire. The menu leaned into salads and hearty sandwiches, most of which could be made gluten free. While my wife thoroughly enjoyed her gluten free eggplant parm, I snagged a turkey wrap (house roasted turkey + cranberry mayo + cheddar + arugula) and a side of autumn succotash (roasted squash + beets + scallions). The wrap was just filling enough, though the succotash was a bit heavy on salt If we lived in the area: this place would be a standard

The layout is like a wide corridor, w counter / stools on one side and tables opposite side. Greeted and seated by Dana, who was very capable, checking on us regularly. I had my usual eggs over CBH w rye toast. The food was good, but two things stood out. First, only one piece of toast. Second, consensus of the group was that the food was not as hot as it should have been. The CBH and potatoes (for those that had them) were warm, not hot. For us, P on W was ok, but did not have a WOW factor. I may try again, but for lunch, not breakfast. 3.5 warm stars

Still lacking heart…read more It's been a while since I last tried this place. Having to loop back to all the previous spots, I really remember this place being very good and my rose-tinted glasses held on hope that maybe my experience from my last try was just a fluke. Server was nice, attentive and pleasant. Food came out after a short delay. Got my pics and took my bites. This last time was...lackluster. The egg was oily, the corned beef hash was bland and texture less. It very much reminded me of canned hash with some potatoes thrown in for good measure. And the hash brown potatoes were lightly seasoned and barely crispy. As a breakfast place, this is fine if you want a quantity of okay food. I'm not sure I will ever try them again, but I hope they improve at some point.

They all seem to add a bit of class. For my first drink, I'm am having a Cosmopolitan. A Cosmopolitan (or Cosmo) is a popular pink cocktail made with vodka, triple sec (or Cointreau), cranberry juice, and fresh lime juice, typically shaken and served in a martini glass. It's known for its tart, fruity, and slightly sweet flavor profile, often garnished with an orange twist. While served in a martini glass, it's not a true martini as it lacks vermouth. The drink has nice presentation, chilled, garnished and well-balanced. For my first food item, I'm having a Chef's Salad. A chef salad is a hearty American main-course salad with a base of lettuce topped with various ingredients like hard-boiled eggs, one or more meats (such as ham, turkey, or chicken), cheese, tomatoes, and cucumbers, often with croutons and a vinaigrette or ranch dressing. I am having vinaigrette for my dressing. Oh yeah! Nice restating! This is good! I see romaine lettuce, olives, eggs, turkey, ham, canned green and red peppers, pepperoni, cheese, picked onions, cucumbers, etc. It's a big portion size for $7! For my next food item, I'm having the (1/2 lb) Mussels. Mussels are a popular, sustainable, and nutritious seafood known for their briny flavor, often served steamed in broth with wine, garlic, and herbs, and paired with crusty bread. They are filter feeders, rich in protein, omega-3s, and vitamin B12, and are farmed responsibly, making them an environmentally friendly choice that improves water quality. These are good you. They are hot. I like the grilled, buttered bread. Make sure to squeeze the lemon on top. This is the "red" inversion (white is an option). These are good! I love this broth! For my next food item, I'm having the Bogner's Chili Cheese Dog. Bogner Quality Meats in Manchester, CT, offers a selection of premium, house-made hot dogs and franks, featuring all-beef skinless, natural casing, and kielbasa dogs. Known for high-quality meats since 1942, they also offer bulk 5 lb packages, perfect for grilling, along with a full service butcher counter. I only get to eat this kind twice a year! This is all beef and locally made. What's better than this?! This is great!!! Love that pickle and those thick kettle chips! For my second drink, I'm having a margarita. A Margarita is a classic cocktail made with tequila, orange liqueur (like Cointreau or triple sec), and lime juice, often served in a salt-rimmed glass with a lime wedge garnish. It can be served shaken and "on the rocks" (with ice), blended with ice, or straight up, and variations include different tequilas (like reposado) or sweeteners like agave syrup. No margarita glass or sake/sugar rim but it is nicely garnished and tastes good. The floating orange is odd. Still, it's quite good! For my next food item, I'm having the Geno's Meatballs. Gino D'Acampo's traditional meatball recipe features a mix of minced pork and beef, soaked bread, egg, pecorino cheese, and parsley, typically simmered in a simple tomato sauce. For best results, brown the meatballs in olive oil, then simmer slowly for at least 30 minutes to two hours for a rich flavor. I like the cheese strips on top. Lots of sauce! These taste great! For my last drink, I'm having a Vodka Mule. A Moscow Mule is a refreshing, vodka-based cocktail made with lime juice and spicy ginger beer, traditionally served in a copper mug which keeps it extra cold. To make one, combine vodka, fresh lime juice, and ice in a mug, then top with chilled ginger beer and garnish with a lime wedge or wheel. It's a simple, no-shaker-needed drink that's popular for its balance of spicy, sweet, and tart flavors. I like the copper mug! It's chilled, nicely garnished and well balanced. For my last item, I've been dying to try the Special- a bork of Legume Soup. Lentil soup is a hearty, nutritious soup made with lentils as the main ingredient, often featuring a base of sautéed onions, carrots, and garlic, simmered in broth with spices like cumin and turmeric, and finished with fresh herbs and lemon juice. It's a staple in many cultures, known for being filling, economical, and rich in protein and fiber, with variations using different lentils (red, green, brown) and additions like kale, potatoes, or pasta. I like the cute, little crock pot. These are good crackers. It's nice and hot. It came out fast too! For my last item, I'm having the Southwest Chicken Eggrolls. I've never tired these here!Southwest egg rolls are crispy, deep-fried appetizers typically filled with shredded chicken, black beans, corn, red bell peppers, spinach, and Monterey Jack cheese. Let's see what comes out! There are fantastic! They're hot and delicious! What a great meal here!

That turned out to be the best decision we could have made! From the moment we walked in, everything was perfection. Nicholas, our server, was professional, poised, and extremely friendly. I'm watching my calories and didn't want any oil or starch, and Nicholas was incredibly accommodating. He suggested several options and was happy to substitute the carbs for vegetables. He then spoke with Leah, the manager, who came over personally and suggested that I have the chicken blackened without oil. It was absolutely delicious, served with roasted broccoli and green beans. I couldn't have asked for anything more! Leah was a breath of fresh air. She really knows her stuff, and you can tell she genuinely cares about her guests and their experience. I honestly don't know what was better--the food or the service. They were both outstanding. What started as a backup plan turned into one of the best dining experiences we've had. We will definitely be back.!!

All the sides worked so well together and it is one of the most well put together dishes I've had. I also tried the scallops.
