We came for an earlier dinner and the place was pretty empty. It felt like a cute, quaint spot to grab a meal. We got seats at the bar with ease and staff were quick and friendly to take orders. Food came out pretty quickly. It was delicious - mussels were solid, entrees were tasty, and portions were generous. We thought everything was fantastic. I'd recommend this spot and happily return if ever in the area again!

Returned to the Flying Monkey to see the Beacon Brothers. I was unaware that Kevin and his brother…read morehave been doing this for quite a long time. Michael plays many instruments and Kevin still has moves he demonstrated in Footloose. The Monkey was considerably more crowded (full- about 500 guests) than the previous time we were there. This time, we sat and ate in the balcony. The Flying Monkey is owned by the Common Man restaurant chain so I was expecting their comfort food to be offered. Unfortunately, it was more ballpark (minor league) type fried food on paper plates. Word to the wise, go for the movies and concerts, not the food. Plastic silverware and fried food is offered (service is pathetic). Management gave us a voucher because of the incompetence of the staff. The Bacon brothers are worth seeing so it was a nice evening. 4.5 stars for the show- 2 stars for the food. Live and learn!

Finding the playhouse was easy and it's a few miles from downtown Meredith. Parking was really easy considering the show was sold out and the playhouse itself is picturesque and charming. The theatre only holds a couple of hundred so it's easy to get in and out. I would highly recommend coming to see a show. The actors are professionals and each show brings a different cast. The prices were very reasonable and the staff was very friendly and welcoming. We will be back!

We love the Winnie. But last night was the first awful experience suffering through The Odd Couple…read more "Oscar" was a very good actor. But Felix played it Sooo over the top as to be repulsive. Nothing like the original tv show. Why he chose this, who knows. It didn't help that the whole first act was not funny at all. His acting made it torturous. A couple people walked out before the first act was done and a few more after the close of it. We were tempted but hung in. The second act was a somewhat funny thanks to more characters, but still...we couldn't wait for it to be over. The following is not a comment on "Oscar's" weight but on the impact of it. He is very large and reminded us all of Ralph Kramden, but larger. The 6 of us were worried for him when he had to run back and forth a little bit and was then breathing Very heavy and sweating profusely even after sitting a while. I couldn't stop looking at him as he sat in a chair, to see if he was ok. Every time he crossed the stage his weight was a distraction from the his acting and from the play. Which was sad since he Can act! In the end, not funny enough to sit through.

Very spacious inside with tables and booths of all sizes, a very long bar, and also an outside patio area. Gets quite busy so may expect a wait. The menu has some classic appetizers and some choices for handhelds or entrees. The cocktail menu has a good variety as well, and a good selection of beer drafts on tap. Had the turkey melt, which had raspberry jam and was quite tasty. Quite a large wrap and you get a massive portion of fries too! Also had the Mac n cheese and it was very heavy and cheesy in a big skillet. All the staff are just so welcoming and awesome, we loved our bartenders and server and they made our visit great. Thanks

Quaint and lovely old Inn located in Littleton NH. Our server was very friendly…read more The menu is a nice selection of foods. Ranging from chicken to steak to lobster. Parking is difficult although maybe there is more parking that I did not see since it was a rainy night. I will update this section when I go back. Service was slow This was just our server. She was busy leaning and doing other chores that we waited a long time to order our food it took her so long to get back to us when it was time for desert that we did not bother The other server on the other hand was very efficient and took fantastic care of his clients. They have a special that is 2 dinners and a bottle of wine for $40.00. The items that you can choose from are marked on the menu. It was a good selection. This special is from 4 to 6 pm you may want to make a reservation as they fill up fast We had Lobster an decided to upgrade to the lazy man Lobster. The Lobster was cooked to perfection. It was a good size portion I would guess between 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 lb solid meat. We did not see a wine we wanted from the list but they gave us a choice of either another beverage, salad or desert. My friend chose the salad which was a rather large salad. It was one of the best salads I have seen served. Try thief home made dressing. I opted for the desert which we took with us. I had the Turtle cheesecake. It was not too sweet. A nice size portion and worth going back for more. Even though our service was slow I highly recommend going here. The food is well worth the price. They offer items from $11.95 to $30.00 The owner was quite charming and you can tell that he cares about his clients. The guests that stayed at the Beal House Inn were very happy with their accommodations. We will be back Food. 5 star Service. 3 star. See notes above Atmosphere. 5 stars.

Fantastic Transformation!…read more What a wonderful surprise to learn that the Beal House Inn was under new ownership, better yet, that the menu has been completely revamped and re-priced to better reflect the area. The previous incarnation was nice but VERY expensice and not often living up to the price point. The new Beal House has a diverse locally inspired and sourced menu at some of the most reasonable prices north of Concord. Traditional American fare mixed with well trained culinary techniques in the kitchen result in a diverse range of north country comfort food. I wanted to order multiple things on the menu and had a hard time choosing, which is a very good sign of things to come. We enjoyed classically executed Escargot with a hint of Pernod, the snails were tender, juicy and not a hint of chewiness. I could have eaten another two or three orders of these, and at only $9, I will next time! Crab cakes were the only weakness, they had too much Panko mixed in so the texture was more like seafood stuffing, but the accompanying Old Bay Aioli almost made up for it. Served on baby spinach, this could be fantastic if they change the crab to panko ratio! Beef tenderloin was cooked perfectly, as was a "caveman" cut of Prime Rib, both were fork tender and served with caramelized root veggies and garnished with a cut out Maple leaf of beet and carrot. For the very very hungry, they offer a "lion' cut of prime rib that would feed 2 hungry skiers with leftovers for sure. Meat-a-pal-oza! Dessert was also a winner, simple and elegant, puff pastry with divinely light limoncello filling, copious raspberry coulis and fresh whipped cream, Ill upload a photo ! Best of all, the new owner offers a "Beal Deal" special that is a screaming bargain. You get 2 entrees AND a bottle of wine for $40 if you order between 4-6, every day! Cant wait to go back and try the Lobster mac and cheese during a snow storm They also have 7 rooms for full and tired diners who don't feel like driving home

They were incredibly welcoming, took the time to share the fascinating history of the inn, and made sure every detail of our visit was perfect. The breakfast was outstanding! Dave prepares delicious homemade meals that go far beyond typical B&B fare. Think fresh eggs, savory homemade Maple Bacon, and the most incredible bread pudding. Everything was prepared with care and tasted wonderful. The amenities and setting are equally impressive. Our suite was thoughtfully appointed with a private bath, comfortable furnishings, and modern comforts like air conditioning/heating and free Wi-Fi, while still preserving the inn's beautiful historic character. We loved relaxing on the expansive wrap-around porches, enjoying the beautifully maintained fire pit and gathering in the cozy living and sitting areas. An EV charging station could be a convenient bonus if needed. Overall the atmosphere created a perfect blend of historic charm and modern comfort. If you're looking for a memorable stay in the White Mountains with exceptional hosts, delicious food, and wonderful amenities, The Mulburn Inn is the place. Dave and Karen truly go above and beyond. We can't wait to return!

Kyle the bartender was friendly and patient (something that can be challenging for bartenders). Music was your typical small town Vermont bar, but mixed it up here and there. Don't get me wrong you will run into classic St. J characters.... But it is a big space so you can find your own corner. Got to speak with the owner Joanna and she was lovely! She is creating a space for everyone, and very strict on keeping out the riff Raff and is careful not to over serve to avoid problems and keep customers feeling safe. .....if you need a break past 9pm in St.J, I would give it a try!

I had vodka/club soda and the drink was fine. When I got there it was just me and another guy, one of the most charactery of characters, and some club type music and strobe lights playing for an empty room.... eventually some more people showed up but I think maybe toning down the "trying to be a club" vibe on a quiet Thursday night would be helpful... it just felt kind of silly.
