Cold Mountain Cafe is a perfect stop to turn a long drive into a nice date!…read more We definitely recommend this place, it's a solid 4 that comes off like a 5! We've passed through Bethlehem, NH a few of times as we've traveled between Maine and New Hampshire. A couple weeks ago I noticed a glowing little eatery as we hurried west on Route 2 en route to UMass Amherst. I didn't catch the name of the restaurant I'd noticed, but our return l timing worked to stop for dinner in Bethlehem, so as we headed back, Cary scoured Google and Yelp ...and based upon the menus and ambiance, we settled on Cold Mountain Cafe. Turns out this was the spot. Inside was just as welcoming as I'd anticipated. Nothing against small New England towns, ...but IMO you can't EXPECT a well-rounded professional restaurant package when you're in "two-hours-from-anywhere, New Hampshire". And IMHO, sometimes these fresh-movement country places are presented like funky hippy brightly lit hardscaped cafe's with busy chalkboard menus that look like 60's concert posters. Not Cold Mountain Cafe -the music, lighting and decor was perfectly contemporary ...relaxing ...inviting comfortable conversation. The menu and pricing were well thought out, offering an assortment of cultural fare with asian, french, American, East Indian entrees that ranged from smash-burger, pot pie comfort food, to bistro steak and seared scallops. Unexpected additions like bean cake and Indian lamb stew entrees offered a pleasant, funky twist. Entrees ranged from $19 to $38. The two drinks we tried were really great! I had the Brooklyn and Cary had the Espresso Lovers Martini. I think Cary put it perfectly when she said that the Brooklyn was like desert! The espresso martini was notable because it was made with rum, instead of vodka and it used fresh espresso, giving it a luscious Tia Maria feel. Both drinks had a wonderful silky smooth mouth feel. The waitstaff was not uniformed, but in semi-formal server attire with all black garments and waist aprons. The service was friendly, professional and attentive... our waitress brought us some warm crispy tender dinner rolls with garlicky seasoned oil dipping sauce, took our orders at our pace and checked in on us throughout the meal. The mushroom polenta app was great... smooth, creamy and fresh with balanced earthy woodsy and smoky notes. The pea soup was a bit brighter and fresher than I'm used to (growing up in Boston, my mom made the best pea soup ...a more hearty version with pork meat always made in the days following a smoked shoulder meal), but in the New England small town country, farm-fresh motif, we liked the bright, fresh pea flavors... Cary was concerned about what she would order because she was put off by the steak entree's smoked Gouda sauce. So she had the lamb stew, which was a compromise. Me? I'd spent the previous couple of days at a hotel hanging around UMass, which means a lot more carbs than I want... smash burgers, burritos, eggs Bennies... oof! So I definitely was feeling like something light... and decided to be crazy and try the bean cake. Cary's stew was nice. It didn't hit you over the head, but it had balanced signature Indian flavors, and was nicely presented. We're not volume-conscious but both thought it could have had a couple more pieces of lamb. I enjoyed my bean cake -although I don't really have anything to compare it to. The waitress said it was hearty, so I rolled the dice. I'd probably try it again... it flavorful and satisfying. The chèvre and ginger dressing supplied a good level of moisture and flavor notes to the breaded spiced bean and rice patty. I'd add that the plating on a bed of fresh spinach presented a little bit of a challenge as I had to pierce a few baby fresh spinach leafs at a time, then add the bean cake... but it was manageable... The menu changes seasonally, so we're looking forward to checking in on our next pan New England journey.

I stopped by with a party of 5, and we were quickly seated. Despite the restaurant being busy and…read morethere being only one server, she did a good job being as attentive as she could. Most of my problems had to do with the kitchen. Me and two others in my party ordered the Buffalo Mac and cheese. Another ordered the beef tacos. Basically nothing came out super hot. My Mac and cheese had several bites that were straight up cold. The food came out fast, so i don't think our waitress left it sitting out. But because some bites were cold, I do wonder if the noodles came out of a frozen bag. The beef tacos were also cold. They remade the tacos, so that was good, but the were a bit bland. They did not have enough of the noodles left, so they could not remake the Buffalo Mac and cheese. However they asked me to pick something else. I went with the boneless wings. Those came out very hot and they were very good. It was just a very unfortunate start to the beginning of dinner.

Will never be perfect, or Homes and Garden ready, but its home, perfect the way it is. I had the scallop plate (one of many blackboard specials). Portion was very large and they were cooked to perfection, definitely tasted fresh and not Sysco frozen. Dad (92) stuck with Chicken Tenders which he DEVOURED. Thought we'd be taking 1/2 of it home, he doesn't usually eat much, they must have been delicious. We are just visiting, he lives here, I'm sure they will be seeing him often. Son (19) had the burger with bacon, the little I saw of it it looked perfectrly done.. I caught a glimpse before he inhaled it. All of our fries were done to perfection, slightly overcooked to make a crispy outside and awesome inside. They all disappeared pretty quick too. Was hoping for whole belly fried clams, but may have to wait for our next venture North from Maryland

The food here is amazing!!!! I got the squash blossom with mascarpone (oops ate it before I got to take a picture) and Mama Margarita pizza (w/ caramelized onions). They had an interesting menu that included pizza, calzones and salads. The staff were super friendly and seemed passionate about their craft. They have a pool table, Mrs. Pac-Man and other games for entertainment. I highly recommend this place because the pizza is great!!!

My wife and I didn't know what to expect. The menu looked small but interesting and we were told…read morethat this is the place to eat in Littleton so we made a reservation for the lower dining room. It is a nice-sized dining room with comfortable tables, benches, and chairs. On our next visit, we will sit in the upper dining room or at the bar located at the upper dining room for no other reason than personal preference. The bar is not super large but very old school, dark and comfortable. Our server was excellent. He did a great job walking us through the menu, the day's specials, and all of the various drinks that they offered. We began with drinks. The Cosmopolitan that I had was a slightly different formulation with a float of Prosecco which was amazing. My wife had a gin-based drink with rosemary that was also excellent. We began with appetizers including crispy broccoli with Gorgonzola and buffalo sauce and a green tomato topped with a stuffed ravioli with cheese and a wonderful sauce. They were fantastic. My wife had mushroom ravioli and I had the special rib eye steak with fresh green beans and an amazing sauce. The steak was perfectly prepared and the beans had excellent snap and color. We split a dessert and settled on the Olive Oil cake with ice cream. The cake was moist and super flavorful. The price was not crazy considering what we received. We will eat here again on our next visit.

This place must be very new because there were paper signs telling us where the entrance was. Our hostess greeted us and cleaned a table on the deck with a nice view. The menu was limited due to COVID and appeared to be amateurishly printed. I ordered their special house hamburger and my wife ordered the haddock sandwich. Both came with French fries and we ordered fried pickles on the side. Both meals came around 10-15 minutes later. My wife said her haddock was very good and she gave it a 4 out 5 stars. I ordered my burger medium well and it came out well done. Most restaurants cook burgers to one level more done than you order. I actually wanted a well done burger and ordered it medium well on purpose. Overall the meals were good. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful and that made the experience even better. Errol, NH is such a tiny place, you don't get much choice in where to dine. We enjoyed our meal and will definitely keep this place on our list.
