They don't take reservations but they do call-ahead seating. We came at 5:45 on a week night and there was no line, no wait, but the rest of our party couldn't get there for a bit so we asked if we'd probably be fine to eat closer to 6:30. They said I could call back at 6:10 to get on the list (we couldn't join then and there) but when I called back, they didn't answer. We went back in person and it was SWARMED with a 25ish minute wait. Logistics of getting a table aside, the food was good and the place had wonderfully nostalgic college decor.

Okay I was NOT expecting to like Molly's this much. First of all, their BREAD and BUTTER! I'm…read moreastounded by how soft it was and how delicious (and slightly sweet?) the butter tased. I'm not normally a bread and butter before dinner gal but it hit the spot. I split two pastas, and one of them was okay, while the other was AMAZING. The chicken carbonara was a 7/10. Not a bad pasta, but nothing crazy. It really tasted like Alfredo pasta with a bit more savoryness. On the other hand, the short rib Bolognese was way better than expected. 10/10, honestly. The short rib was tender and melted in your mouth and the sauce wasn't just a standard marinara. It was richer, with a sort of creaminess and perhaps even a good amount of cheese. It was AMAZING. Definitely the spot to go in Hanover.

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.

I've been coming to this Hanover institution since the early 1980s…read more Food is fresh and good quality ingredients. Some classics have been on their menu for as long as I can remember, but there are always innovative new things as well. Portions are large. Servers are friendly. Desserts and other baked goods are incredible. It is the place to get the best custom-decorated birthday cakes and Thanksgiving pies (they made nearly 1000 pies last Thanksgiving - get your order in in advance). A carrot cake aficionado in our family who has tasted carrot cakes around the world ranks Lou's tied for number one. Prices aren't cheap, but rent in Hanover isn't cheap either, they take care of their employees, ingredients are of high-quality, and it is the kind of local business I like to support. For a hearty and healthy lunch, a bowl of their homemade chicken soup (available with or without noodles) hits the spot. For a delicious savory breakfast, Doc's omelette (corn beef hash and melted cheese is really good) as is the cowboy bowl. For a sweet breakfast (albeit more than I can handle), the glazed cruller French toast is a delicious menu staple. And their apple cider donuts, muffins and crullers are excellent. (The glazed apple cider donuts are my personal favorite). Real New Hampshire maple syrup is available for an upcharge and although I wish it were all they served, it is really the only way to go with their breakfasts. (Artificial pancake syrup is blasphemous in New Hampshire). Enjoy this Hanover institution!

We have been to Elixir several times before and each time, the superb service, great ambiance and delicious food have been noted. Elixir is one amazing place in White River Junction We started by ordering two Caipirinhas, this being one of the very few places that serves Cachaça and its repertoire of cocktails. Then we went to devour the delicious Artichoke dip and lastly, their main courses, both of us had their evening sea bass special that kept us licking our fingers afterwards. Washed it down with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc. Service was flawless.... We were able to leave with plenty of time to make the play and even do a little digestif walk. A superb place for dinner.

The service is friendly. Brandon was my server for the evening, and he did not miss a beat. He was very attentive and provided great advice on the menu. The bees knees cocktail was so balanced, and one of the best tasting ones compared to so many restaurants that make this overly lemony or too sweet with honey. When I was asked if I would like bread, I asked what, if anything, was special about it. Brandon says, welll the bread is good but the highlight is the chimichurri sauce. Immediately intrigued, I found the dipping sauce to be less chimichurri and more like a delicious salad dressing but it was strangely addictive to dip bread in. The flash grilled Caesar had a delicious homemade dressing and briny sardines, very good as well. For dinner, I ordered the char-grilled teres major steak, paired with malbec. The steak came covered with an au poivre sauce, cooked perfectly medium, and so juicy. This was complemented by roasted carrots, and potabello mushroom, onion, and potato hash. The potatoes were large, crispy cubes. There was nothing about this meal that was less than stellar. I highly recommend it with the malbec!
