**A Truly Special Place**…read more Fulchino Vineyard will always hold a special place in our hearts. My wife and I were married there five years ago, and every time we return, we're reminded why we chose it for such an important day. The wine is exceptional, the food is fantastic, and the setting is beautiful, but what really makes Fulchino stand out is the hospitality. **Al is an incredibly hands-on owner** who genuinely cares about his guests. He's always welcoming, sharing his knowledge and making sure everyone is having a great experience. That same warmth carries through the entire staff and the service is always outstanding. Five years after our wedding, we still love coming back. Great wine, great food, wonderful people, and an atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile. **Al and his team have created something truly special in Hollis. Five stars without hesitation!**

They do have a great place going with the winery and it's tasting right at the spot. It seemed a popular spot in the weekend. Although the wine tasting is pricey and made in stainless steel, personally not fan of, the sparkling rose shone bright. Very crisp, right amount of mellow tart and no metallic finish : the dryness was perfect. I usually hate rose as most are sweet or on the sweeter side but not this one. The place is clean and the hospitality is phenomenal. Why 4 and not 5? The utensils need some love. They are barely in any normal condition to be used, unless you are a pro at cooking. It took me 2-3 curing and seasonings to make sure it's usable. And yes, at $45 for the bottle of sparkling rose I felt it's pricey. It maybe small batch hence pricier but yeah, I'll rather have barolos or barbarescos at that price than rose. Overall a great historic place from 1680s.

This is the most amazing wine store I have ever been too. Self declared as having no bad wines. A…read moremiracle! This is a place where I spend at least a couple hundred bucks a month (used to), albeit mainly on common table wine. But last week I thought I would splurge for my birthday and asked for something upscale, but reliable in that they had confidence in the quality of the supply chain. I ended up buying an $80 Petite Syrah which was near vinegar. Being a regular, I felt like I had to say something, not to mention having lived outside the Rhône region in France, where I experienced real Syrahs for several a years. When I told them this was not a debate about the quality of the wine, but rather that it was simply bad, I was told that all of their wines are good because they have other customers that like them. To quote: "All of their wines are on the shelf because someone likes them", therefore no bad wines, just differing palates. How convenient. I wouldn't even think of debating subtleties in N Andover, but when something is so bad that is undrinkable at $80/bottle, only an utter moron would keep quiet. BTW, this experience was all after providing the respect of temperature acclimation and decanting. So long story short, they have decent prices for table wines, but it you are looking for something upscale, don't waste your money. And whatever you do, don't be bamboozled by their pseudo sommeliers.

This…read morebreathtaking venue speaks for itself, but I cannot say enough about the staff and their consistent superior service to me. Since the very beginning last year when I was researching places to have the shower, I was immediately impressed with the professionalism, friendliness, responsiveness, and accommodating ways of each of the staff members I dealt with. When I walked into the venue the day of the shower, I was overwhelmed and awestruck! It looked so beautiful... beyond what I had expected... and I felt like I was walking into a room from a fairy tale! Everything was set up as I had requested and it looked absolutely perfect. All of the staff were extremely attentive and kept checking in with me to see if I needed anything. The food was served on time and, once again, was beyond what I had anticipated! I am still to this day hearing from friends and family on how exceptional the food, venue and staff were! Everything was beyond perfect and I can't thank you all enough for making this a memory that will definitely last lifetime. This event was comparable to my wedding day and trips to Disney... that's how perfect everything was! I am extra grateful to Lauren Paradis-St. Croix, who has continually gone above and beyond for me in every way to make sure this event was perfect for my daughter... AND IT WAS! Lauren has treated me like a family member, and in all the events I have ever planned, I have never experienced such exceptional service. Of course, there ended up being a huge snowstorm predicted for the day of my event, and I panicked! Lauren kept in constant contact with me (even after work hours) as we monitored the weather updates, and, most importantly, she was so empathetic to me and kept me calm. At the last minute, she magically rescheduled the whole event for me for the next day, while continuing to accommodate all my additional requests and changes. She is truly amazing and one in a million! I am eagerly awaiting the next event I can have Lauren plan for me there!

It's now more of a liquor focused outlet giving little attention to fine and/or interesting wines. Sadly, for the past 2+ years this place is no longer the great store it once was. Looking at the reviews from the past two years, you can see I'm not the only one who feels things have gone downhill. Such a shame to have the biggest liquor store in beautiful Andover become such a dud.

Man, do I feel like a friggin' dingus! Driving up to the location of this lovely establishment…read moreproved to be nothing shy of slightly misguided. I blame Google Maps for this (not the restaurant) because it had me turn directly into the EXIT lane! Yeah. By the time I realized my mistake, it was too late. Couldn't do a three point turn. Couldn't just reverse out of there and try again. So, I sheepishly drove my car at a snail's pace up the wrong way whilst veering as far to the right side as I could. Passed like 3 cars. Yep. I'll likely beat myself up over that one for years to come. Anyways, welcome to my Prime at Sky Meadow review! :D So, wifey and I share the same birth month. Every year, we choose a bougie restaurant to have what we call a combined birthday dinner together. Tired of always going to Ruth's Chris every other year, we decided to see what the locale had to offer. One thing led to another and...we ended up booking a res at Prime. Walking in, we're immediately greeted with an aura of elegance. The entrance consists of a grand standing lobby featuring a self playing piano, adding to the opulent atmosphere. We were able to get a table within mere seconds after they verified our reservation. The dining room LOOKS nice and has a great view, from what I understand (it was dark that evening, so we couldn't enjoy the view). Too bad I can't say the same for the acoustics. Out of the many fine dining restaurants I've visited in my life, Prime may possibly be one of the noisiest. I think it's because the tables are too close together. Which means you can almost hear entire conversations at the table next to yours. It's why I never travel in public without at least one pair of earbuds. Misophoniacs UNITE!! XD Now, I'd like to give a shout out to the waitress who took care of us that evening (I really wish I didn't suck with names so much). Service was stellar, overall. After receiving our drinks, we ordered the following.. Appetizers: Got the crab cake and clam chowder. Now, I just need to mention...our waitress had us at, "it's pure crab, no breadcrumbs". Both our eyes lit up as I said, "Yup. We'll take it!". Guys. I gotta tell ya....not a lot of restaurants can make a crab cake properly. Yet, Prime nails it! This thing was f#*!ing delicious! I dare say it may possibly be the greatest crab cake one can buy anywhere in the state of NH. And I will stand by that claim until or unless I discover better elsewhere. The clam chowder is in a league of its own. I often say how the very best chowders are the ones you don't have to add any additional seasoning to. This one totally slaps! Creamy, savory, made with REAL fresh clams. The cheesy bread they give on the side pairs brilliantly with the chowder as well. Solid 10 out of 10 for both apps! Mains: Wifey and I stuck with our favorites, getting a filet and ribeye, respectively. Describing the taste of these should be brief, since they seem to season all their steaks the same way. While the temperatures were absolutely spot-on, they could have used a bit more seasoning for our preference. However, we didn't see the need to send them back and just sprinkled some salt over the steak instead. Ch'yeah! Forgot to mention...this is one of the few fine dining restaurants that actually leaves the salt and pepper shakers on the table. Inconceivable! :o Got the lobster mac & cheese as the sharable side. And, uh....I think we were totally spoiled by RC's version of this. Because what Prime does here is....unique. The cheese (which I STILL cannot identify yet) was so mild, I truly believe the chefs were going for a subtle flavor. If done properly, it can actually give a delectable impression to the palate. Few extra dashes of salt, the whole thing was quite tasty! My one complaint here though: lobster meat was lacking. Normally, the ratio should be something like 70/30, macaroni's favor. This version was more like...85/15. Side's an 8 out of 10; steaks would both be a 9 out of 10. Dessert: Last, we have the peanut butter pie. I decided to take this one home, since I already felt like a pregnant whale by this point. Simply put, this pie was nothing short of sublime. Rock hard chocolate frosting aside, this was a 9 out of 10 for me. It's worth noting an 18% service fee is automatically charged to your total bill. So, take that into account when tipping. I'm not totally sure why they do this regardless of party size. Nevertheless, we made sure to close the gap, so to speak, on the gratuity by adding in an additional 7%. Service was just that good! Whilst I'd love to be able to give this place a perfect score, I honestly can't when considering the noisy ambiance of the dining area and lack of lobster portioning in their mac & cheese. That's not to say, however, that Prime is anything short of an amazing dining experience. I'm giving Prime at Sky Meadow 4 stunningly sweet chocolate peanut butter pies that melt in your mouth, not on your fork, out of 5.

I appreciate the fact they allowed us to be seated at different time as the second car was ten minutes behind. We started with a few drinks and took our time looking over the menu. Sarah was nice enough to give us insight on the portion size. All of the sides are shareable for 3-4 people. Even a few of the main dishes you can share amongst two people. The standout menu items were Miso Sea Bass, Ribeye, and mac and cheese. That Sea Bass was beyond amazing. Aside from the food our waitress was amazing, she was the queen at small talk. She had a wonderful attitude and was on top of our drink orders and brought the food out in a timely manner. The manager Felix was also such a delight. You can tell he loves his job and people! Made the graduates feel extra special especially with the comped desserts. (Thank you for remembering the nut allergy.) Such a lovely experience. Expect to pay around $75 - $125 depending on the main course and drinks. Thankful this is the location we choose to have a celebration dinner. Highly recommend for people visiting out of town and locals looking for a nice meal. Overall STRONG 5/5 stars!
