We decided to go away for thanksgiving this year and chose to go to the Wild Rose for Thanksgiving dinner. Overall I found the entire experience to be lackluster compared to how it was in previous years. The first thing we saw when we arrived was the hostess and I was shocked by her outfit. Her dress was far too short and not appropriate at all for a holiday or the level of upscale dining we were paying for. We were seated immediately but then service dragged. We got bread long before our drinks. Our first course came quickly but the soups were lukewarm at best. I had the apple salad and found it to be extremely refreshing and not at all what I expected but in a good way! The star of the meal was dinner, however, they gave me the wrong side. The waiter did quickly remedy the situation but again for this level of dining I expected better. The prime rib was absolutely out of this world. The herb crust was amazing. However I was quite disappointed with the presentation it was dropped on top of the mashed potatoes and bled over everything. My mother had the thanksgiving dinner and she loved it. She especially liked the sausage stuffing which is not something she would normally eat and was impressed by it. The desserts were average and to be honest I again expected better. For three people we paid about $450. If I am spending that much money on dinner I want to be floored by the entire experience and I just wasn't. If I'm being completely honest the prime rib saved this review. So I hope the chefs get credit for it!!

Since we were going to be apart for our actual anniversary, we decided to try The Wild Rose and celebrate early. The Manor is beautiful and hosts the restaurant. It was dark so not sure of the views but it looks incredible. The staff was so pleasant and apparently everyone was enjoying their meal and experience were not leaving to open up tables for the 7:00 slots. They managed to get us in and we had the perfect spot with just another couple and off the main dining area. Quieter The menu offer variety and we both managed to find something. Interesting twist with the salmon with tomato sauce and cheese on top. Thought it was a Parmesan. But it was good Just off the main road, so you might miss it if you are not looking for it. Worth a visit.

We went in on a Thursday night with a party of six for the buy a meal get a meal free deal. This place is an old classic style inn and is run that way too. The staff were all dressed up and extremely friendly. This is a great place for a date night. We started at the bar area and had a martini while we waited for our reservation. It was true amazing to watch the bar tender whip through his orders in the little corner bar. All of the drinks were great! They also have awesome olives for their martinis if you like green olives. There were no complaints at dinner either. We were greeted by our waiter, Paris and we couldn't have more pleased with his company, service, and hospitality. I had the prime rib and it was cooked exactly how I ordered it and the outer edge was packed with flavor from the seasonings. I would have to say this prime rib ranks among the best I've ever had. I was also lucky enough to try the Wild Rose seafood pasta. It is definitely a go to dish here as all the seafood was fresh and cooked perfectly in this flavorful dish. You could taste the lobster in the sauce. I want more!

Wild Rose seafood with house made fettuccine

The ambiance is just what we remember from other visits. We ate in the sunken terrace behind the library overlooking the pool area. We dined early after a long day of driving and are glad we did as the restaurant was very busy by the time we finished. We started out with seasonal cocktails: strawberry mojitos and hibiscus martinis. Both were refreshing for a summer evening. We started with Caesar salad & the butternut squash bisque. The soup was a hit and many around us chose it too. We opted for seafood tonight. The Lobster ravioli was tender and full flavored, accompanied by generous amounts of tender lobster claw and fresh tomato. The house special Wild Rose with homemade tomato rose fettuccine had tons of seafood: scallops, lobster claws, shrimp and plenty of Jonah crab. None of the seafood was overcooked, and the sauce was just rich enough to complement the food. Needless to say, we had no room for dessert. Worth every penny and our server Ellen was on point all night

I think that this restaurant was very typical for what it was...nothing really special just expensive, okay food. We were in town for the auto road race and it was fathers day so I figured that this restaurant looked elegant enough for the occasion. I tried to call and make reservations for 7/7:30 but they couldn't get us in until 8 for some reason. We arrived and it was almost empty with a couple tables seated, so I am not sure why we wouldn't be able to go at the requested time. The server was artificially nice but we found her to be kind of off putting from looking underdressed compared to the rest of the staff to not providing us bread like the rest of the tables until our dinner was out (mind you we ordered appetizers). She didn't seem like she really want to serve us. I believe the bread is advertised as baked in house but it was like eating stale pieces of bread that's been around too long. We ordered 2 appetizers, the seafood pasta special and prime rib dinner. about 20 minutes or so after we got our appetizers the waitress came out and said they were out of the prime rib dinner. We were okay with that and got the lamb instead...imagine how confused we were when a prime rib showed up. I will say that the seafood pasta special was yummy, if I were to go back for anything it would be that but the prime rib was disappointing and not really up to temp. Overall, I would never come back here...even with the beautiful tent view that is available. It seems mediocre at best.

I really wanted to give this restaurant 4 stars for its food and historic charm, but unfortunately, 3 stars were all I could muster due to unfortunate encounters with the hostess. Driving up to Stonehurst Manor, one is drawn in by charm, with its wide front door and large parlor room where guests are enjoying happy hour. We arrived with a 5:30 PM reservation on a weeknight and were invited to sit alongside the window overlooking the gardens. We relocated to a table overlooking the mountains, which was clearly the draw, but due to the sunset glare, most of the shades had to be drawn. Shortly after being seated with our 2 year old who wanted to explore the empty restaurant since we were the first table seated, the hostess approached us and asked if we would rather relocate to a table in a corner alcove away from other guests. I replied that we would rather not because we were enjoying the gorgeous view, to which she more curtly asked if our son would remain quiet. I took offense to this because he wasn't causing any fuss, nor would he in general. We dine out with him daily on vacation and are constantly told by others how well behaved he is. So I simply stated that he would be fine. This odd exchange was followed by an offering of a cucumber and feta hors doevre for which she insisted our son take one even though he dislikes cucumbers. I think our hostess began to lower her standards as the evening went on because a table with a 10 month old and another table with young children were seated. However, they did not have a high chair for the 10 month old, so someone had to hold the baby the entire time. The restaurant offered a kids menu, which I found odd, since they were not giving off a kid or family friendly vibe. The vibe of the restaurant was historic charm for older couples. From a drink perspective, we enjoyed our cocktails, Lola's favorite and a pimm's cup. Our server was friendly and accommodating. For dinner, we ordered Caesar salads, the homemade dressing being heavier on the egg, but very good. For entrees, we ordered a kids pizza, the wild rose pasta dish, and a prime rib. Everything was cooked to perfection. The pizza was on a homemade crust and cooked in a brick oven. The wild rose dish consisted of a homemade fettuccini, pink in appearance, made with tomato and some rose water, which gave the pasta a unique and delicious flavor that complemented the abundance of tender and juicy lobster, shrimp, and scallops. I thought the rose after taste of the pasta was really unique and interesting. The prime rib was cooked perfectly. It was served with a creamy polenta. For dessert, we ordered a tiramisu. It was very tasty and well executed. The food alone would have earned this restaurant at least 4 stars. All of the food arrived quickly. The only improvements to service could have been an inquiry into how our meal was, which we were never asked and generally are asked about this at all restaurants, and better bussing of our table as we had empty cocktail glasses sit on our table for the duration of dinner. I did end the evening by informing the hostess that her comments to relocate our table just because we had a little one were offensive and had discolored our entire evening. Unfortunately, even though this restaurant boasts a kids menu, I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to any families with children due to the lack of high chairs and the way we were treated by the hostess.

Breakfast dining- quaint manor location.

Even then, we had a late reservation. When we arrived, they were having a 60-90 minute wait. Parking is behind the building, but you have to drive up side the building, not the lot next door. But plenty of spaces. We had a nice table in the back, which works for us. The staff were very friendly and the setting was nice. They offer indoor and patio seating, so, if you dress warm, you could get in faster. They offer a full bar menu for drinks and wine, of course. The food menu is your typical Italian options, so they have something for everyone in our group. They offer bread and salad for most meals, so prepare. They had great service and the food came out pretty quickly and it was hot. LOVE IT. We had a fantastic evening with our friends and it made our vacation weekend to be able to share this experience.

Even though we had a reservation, we waited at least 10 minutes before anyone greeted us or offered drinks. We also had to ask for bread after noticing our server was bringing it to other tables but never offered any to us. Our server was attentive, friendly, and engaging with the surrounding tables, but we felt largely ignored throughout our meal. When we asked for drink recommendations, she wasn't helpful, and after we received drinks we didn't enjoy, she never checked in or asked about them--even though we had only taken a couple of sips. The wait for our entrées was about an hour, with very little communication about the delay. The overall service made us feel like an afterthought from the moment we sat down. What makes this especially disappointing is that this wasn't an isolated experience. This is the second time we've received the same level of poor service at this restaurant, despite having reservations both times. We understand that busy nights happen, but being consistently overlooked and treated differently from nearby tables is frustrating and unacceptable. We had hoped our first experience was just a one-time issue, but after a second visit with the same result, we won't be returning.

Every staff member that helped us seemed genuinely happy to be there. Our table server, especially, had the most cheerful voice and was all smiles. Our meals were overall delicious. Our group enjoyed these dishes & beverages: 1. dry rub wings w honey sriracha dipping sauce - fantastic flavor combo 2. clam chowder - great appearance, nicely plated - great heartiness & creaminess - decent flavor 3. beet & blue salad - maple vinaigrette was lovely - beets were juicy & tender - greens were so fresh & crisp - glazed walnuts added a perfect crunch - I appreciated that the blue cheese was incorporated as a wedge rather than as crumbles. This allowed me to control the amount per bite. I love blue cheese, but some restaurants overdue it with crumbles, forcing me to parse them out as I eat. This is a first-world problem, I know, but here we all are reading & writing Yelp reviews on our handheld devices, so .... 4. seared antelope sirloin - WOW! This was the most unexpected dish. We had never tried antelope before, and it was a good discovery. It was prepared nicely at a very tender medium-rare. We found it to be less fatty than beef, very flavorful without being gamey, and slightly sweet. - the accompanying wild boar sausage was a satisfying complement 5. Wagyu beef cheeseburger - good Wagyu, but the whole construction could've used more of the toppings (mushrooms, cheese, etc.) 6. Iced tea, local craft IPAs from Conway NH and the "rek~lis clouded judgement" draft from Bethlehem NH - all were refreshing; what a treat to try the locally crafted beers ... so good. A memorable dining experience on our first-ever visit to New Hampshire!

Though there were open tables we had to wait 10 minutes to be seated. Which was fine but then we had to wait after that. The host could have at least helped with drinks to fill the time.
