The Bretton Arms is a step up from Stickneys and 1902. Think closer to a tasting menu and intimate dining experience. The chef also popped out with some unique hors d'oeuvres! Be sure to make a reservation ahead of time since they have wonky hours and are only open certain days of the week. read more

Checked in late but slid into the Pub before they closed. Glad we did! Excellent service with Tom, and fabulous food! Our boys had the fish tacos (both thumbs up), my husband had the scallops (think it was the appetizer dish as it was just two and super super small) and I had the seasonal soup (fantastic butternut squash!) We ate too fast for meal pics - except grabbed one of the dessert. We had the strawberry crisp with basil shortbread topped with coconut ice cream. Yummy!! read more

The food and service were excellent. The restaurant is quaint and cute. Our waiter went out of his way to ensure our dining experience was superb. I highly recommend Bretton Arms. read more

The food here is excellently prepared. I particularly like the wine pairing suggestions and the pairing I chose was spot on for flavor. The atmosphere is lovely and perfect New England quaint. A nice romantic spot for dinner Only thing that didn't earn all stars is the price. Although that can be said for all the Breton Woods properties. I get the upkeep on these beautiful old buildings but the reason you have NYC food prices is based on upkeep and property prices. Shouldn't apply so steeply here. All that said would definitely eat here again. read more

We tried the restaurant on Christmas day and had family dinner with Seafood Curry and Knoll Chicken Breast. Seafood Curry had 2 shrimps 2 scallops and 5 mussels in a cream sauce with 4 small cocktail tomatoes. It was a bit embarrassing that we announced that tomatoes were off our wish list but they still served it despite of the fact that our waiter mentioned it before we ordered. Should not have happened in a restaurant with this caliber. Chicken was solid and fine. We had a very nice spanish red wine with it and some french bread. Dessert was sorbet trilogy- not really a fine sorbet as you would know it from France, but okay. Overall sevice was better than in the Mount Washington Main Dining but prices still too high for the menu selection and service quality. read more

Great food, although only had six choices for the main meal to choose from. Soup of the day was excellent as was the Caesar salad. I like how in between appetizer and main meal they give you a small sorbet to refresh your palate. Kids meals are same size as adult so now you know the plates are not too big. I would recommend but not with kids. read more

Located in Bretton Arms Inn at the Mt Washington Resort. Quaint white inn tucked in the woods near the stables. Horses are about. This is a fine dining experience. The dining area accommodates a few. We sat in the corner against a window with garden view. Our chairs were big velvety captain seats that we sank into. Our many servers (main, bread, water etc) acted with proper decorum without seeming stuffy. We ordered the Jonah Crab Ravioli appetizer and the Duo of Beef. They started us with complimentary piece of bread. Choice of a triangle of raisin bread or a piece of baguette. The breads were average, nothing oustanding. The butter sprinkled with Himalayan Sea Salt. Then, they had us taste Salmon Crostini. The crostini was stale and the salmon was smoked, strong tasting. Next, was Lemon Ice, palette cleanser. The ravioli was flavorful and perfectly executed. Lump crab and pasta fresh. When you create the perfect bite on your fork, the experience is divine. Bursts of citrus and textures from foam and emulsion. One of the best dishes I've tasted. The duo was less impressive. The Brussel Sprouts were vibrant green and not bitter. The short rib was too salty. The filet was done beyond medium rare, not our preference. We ordered MR. The priciest dish was a disappointment. Although, I will state that both pieces of meat were so tender I was able to use my butter knife to cut since they did not bring out a steak knife. I thought they were making a statement with the butter knife. We finished with a piece of White Chocolate Fudge with Dried Cherry. Nice ending along with hot steamed towels. read more

We came here for breakfast. The dining room is a traditional inn feel. Intimate and tasteful . Our server said they had the "best" coffee and she was right. It was really good. The cast iron scrambles are among the best ever. The eggs were cooked perfectly and very tasty. The potatoes were the only weak part of the food. Just felt warmed up rather than just fried. Service was very good. read more

The meal that I had at this resturant is in my all time top 5.  I travel extensively, and just started writing reviews.  This place deserves one. The dining room is small and intimate, very nice for a get-away dinner.  I ordered the heirloom tomato app.  Fantastic.  Perfectly ripe, perfectly seasoned.  For dinner I had the special venison loin, with quash purée, carrots, wild mushrooms, and green beans.  Simple dish, very very well executed.  Venison was cooked to perfection, veggies were incredible.   Desert was a perfect puck of cheese cake, on top of almond bachlava , drizzled with maple syrup.   Service was top notch.  Wine was fantastic and at a great price.   What a place.  Perfect meal.  Strongly recommend if you are in the area. read more

Bretton Arms Dining Room - Venison Special - Simple, well executed, amazing! - New American Near Me - Carroll, New Hampshire

Maybe it's me. Maybe I'm just not cut out for the fine dining experience. Everything about this establishment is first-class. The atmosphere, the service, the menu... the wine list alone is astonishing. We got the artichoke appetizer and iceberg salad. She got the scallops, I got the lamb chops. Everything was prepared right and the wine pairing suggestions worked too... I guess it's me. When I drop $300 on dinner, it should be a life-altering experience, and it just wasn't. I feel there's a little gouging going on here, because there are very few places to eat within 15 miles. They have you by the neck... read more

For all the rave reviews this place received I was expecting an amazing restaurant. However Bretton Arms Dining Room is nothing amazing. I don't think it's a bad restaurant but certainly not what everyone has hyped this place up to be. The service here is very good (best I had while staying at Bretton Woods), even though our hostess kept switching up who ordered what, she was appropriately apologetic and attentive throughout our service. The most important part of a meal is the food itself. I had ordered the trout almondine, one of the most classic dishes you could order. While the fish was perfectly executed in terms of cookery, it was unfortunately bland and I did manage to find two bones in my fish. Not that I would mind if I was served a whole fish but when you've prepped it to include all the bones, that is just a little bit sloppy for a fine dining establishment. The other downside was we were seated fairly close to the bar and the patriots of course had to be playing. Sitting down to a nice meal while a few drunk guys are screaming at the TV isn't what I would call ambiance. On the bright side the chairs were super comfy at the very least. read more

Excellent food, wonderful service, beautiful setting. We have stayed and dined at the Omni Mt. Washington resort in the past and have always been pleased. Bretton Arms, their smaller B and B style inn did not disappoint. I had a lobster arancini appetizer that was basically a rice ball with some small pieces of lobster rolled in panko crumbs and flash fried. Nice flavor but the garlic sauce was a bit strong for my pallet. Wife had scallops that were broiled to perfection. Couldn't have been better. I had filet mignon. Perfect. Juicy, flavorful with a great grilled flavor. Sides, asparagus, sweet potato fries all delicious. Presentation and service was wonderful. Knowledgeable and accommodating. Desert; chocolate (flour less torte) cake had four adults almost in tears because it was so good. Trio stapler was also delicious. It is a small dining room but as all the Mt. Washington properties very well appointed and very comfortable with great views. Very cozy and intimate. read more

Wow. Such a phenomenal meal! My boyfriend and I stayed at Omni Mt Washington Resort last week and decided to treat ourselves a fancy dinner before the end of our vacation. We were so glad that we chose Bretton Arms. Bretton Arms exceeded our expectations in all manners possible. The service was superb. The soft background music quite hit home. And the mostly importantly, THE FOOD. For appetizers, we had the Italian chicken soup and scallops. The soup was so rich in flavor and the scallops were so fresh and perfectly seared. Complimentary bread was soft and warm. I literally used the bread to mop every single bits on my plate. We shared the artisan salad, easily one of the most delightful salad I have ever had. Then we were given a scoop of apple sorbet to "cleanse our mouth before entree.", an experience I've never had in other high-end fancy restaurants. I was totally blown away by the sorbet. A refreshing combination of sweet and sour. I liked it so much that I had it for dessert later :) We had the wild american shrimp quinoa and duck breast with blueberry sauce for our entrees. Not a huge fan of quinoa or blueberry sauce, but I enjoyed both entrees a lot. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a unforgettable dinning experience in Bretton Woods. read more

A friend and I stayed at the Bretton Arms for 2 nights. The second morning of our stay, we ate at the dining room downstairs (first morning, we went up the hill to the gigantic buffet at the Mt. Washington Resort). Atmosphere is definitely a "dining room" more than a restaurant, but very comfortable, no complaints. I liked everything I ordered, especially the homemade waffle (which, up the hill at the Mount Washington Resort's giant breakfast buffet was made from a disgusting pre-made mix). The hash browns were nothing to write home about. Price matched to the quality of the food. Service was fine. Definitely worth a try. read more

Amazing dining experience with an emphasis on service. Atmosphere is upscale, but intimate, I would imagine even better during the Winter when the fire's roaring. Our waiter, Justin, was EXCELLENT. It has been a long time since I have experienced service this attentive, and coming from New York, that says a lot. Highly recommend Bretton Arms Dining Room as a more formal dinner option when visiting Bretton Woods. read more

This restaurant was fantastic in every way!! The service was impressive. The waiter was very knowledgeable, friendly & helpful. The staff cleared plates immediately & even gave us fresh cloth napkins throughout the service. They finished the service off by providing warm hand towels. Also, the Chef provided complementary items to cleanse our pallet in between courses. (For example, one item given was a peach sorbet.). We asked a question about a cocktail & the friendly bartender came over & offered his expertise. The Chef was so great- he even came out & greeted our table !!! The atmosphere in the restaurant was lovely & very relaxing. The food was delicious and everyone in our party loved everything we ordered. The portions were good and the food was plated beautifully. The orange and goat cheese salad & the Bretton Arms Cesar were both delicious. My nephew ordered the Archer Angus Grilled Beef Tenderloin, it was cooked to perfection & the duchess potato was the best mash- potato he ever had. I loved the Prospect Farm Pork Duo, the bacon wrapped pork tenderloin was smokey good with a maple glaze. It also came with a creamy smoked corn polenta. The roasted veal chop was a thick cut chop, cooked to perfection with porcini mushrooms and a port wine glaze. The Prospect Farm Rosemary Statler Chicken had crispy skin but still managed to be tender and juicy on the inside. Also, the portion was generous and there was leftovers to bring home to the dog. (He loved it!!). We shared a maple crème brûlée for dessert, which was crunchy on the top and creamy on the inside. I can't forget to complement the bartender on the Barr Hill cosmopolitan- it was the best cosmopolitan I have ever had. We gave this restaurant five stars because it was the complete package: everything we ordered & the entire staff was fantastic !! read more

This is a cozy four-star gourmet restaurant tucked in the Bretton Arms Inn beside the larger Mount Washington Hotel. The food and service are exquisite and the atmosphere is charming. Whether you are staying at the Mount Washington Hotel or at the Inn you won't regret making a reservation for a memorable dining experience. read more

The best thing about the dining here was that the server removed the $17 charge for one silly glass of wine. ..Very overpriced mediocre meal. Nothing here warranted the exorbitant prices. Sorry we wasted our time. M. ..... read more

We had breakfast at their dining room and the food and service were wonderful. We just had a light dinner at their bar/dining area. The food was just OK and sooooo overpriced ! We live in Miami and are used to this but this was ridiculous. A small bowl of mixed nuts was $10. No Joke ! I have never seen this anywhere. A simple bowl of penne pasta with butter for a child was $14. Why ??? We are spending four nights here. But the food prices are beyond anything we have experienced outside of St Moritz. Very disappointed... read more

My best friend and I stayed at the Bretton Arms Inn for the weekend and were delighted to find the Dining Room tucked in to one corner of the Inn! Our first night, we made reservations for dinner and had such a great experience that we came back the next night! Breakfasts were included with our rooms, so we ate two breakfasts as well. The first night, we split the lobster risotto appetizer. Before it arrived, we were treated to an amouse bouche - I can't recall what it was but remember it being delicious - and to a selection of bread. Three large lumps of lobster risotto arrived, sitting in a creamy sauce. It was just the right amount of food for an appetizer! After a lemon sorbet palate cleanser, we split the duck. I've never had duck before but it was delicious! It came on very fine large slices of rutabaga and beet, which I usually don't like but really enjoyed as a complement to the duck. I would have loved more duck to eat, but since we split the meal I couldn't really complain. For dessert, we ordered the off the kid's menu - we'd seen someone next to us tucking into an "ice-cream sandwich" with four toppings and it looked yummy! It was very good but a little disappointing after the build-up (the toppings were bland sprinkles and white/chocolate chips...they didn't do much to enhance the actual ice-cream). After all that food, they brought us some chewy coconut macaroons to finish off the meal. Including a bottle of champagne and tip, the meal cost us about $130 (aka $65 each) and I was happy to pay! The next night we ventured down for another scrumptious meal! We split the veal carpaccio - again, something new to me - and it was very good; nicely seasoned and just the right amount (though I certainly could have eaten more). Second course: rack of lamb. It was the most delicious lamb I've ever had - cooked perfectly, red in the middle and seasoned excellently! We stripped the bones it was so good! The lamb came with a side but I don't remember - nothing stands out except the lamb! The dessert was a trio of chocolate custards...kind of disappointing but still high quality. Again we received an amouse bouche, palate cleanser, and sweet bite at the end and again, after a bottle of champagne and tip, we paid about $130. Breakfast was so-so. If it hadn't been included in the cost of our rooms, I probably wouldn't have gone there. The prices were a little high and while the service was still great, the meal wasn't great for the price we would have paid. Between the "Italian Bread" (French toast), omelet, eggs benedict, and waffles, nothing stands out as having been particularly delicious. DEFINITELY visit the Dining Room if you're in Bretton Woods - it's an experience not to be missed! read more

The view is amazing here, but unfortunately the good seems to end there. The service is mediocre and the food is too. The seared salmon was very overdone, and no one even asked how our meals were. Probably wouldn't go back. Get a drink and a snack at the bar instead, same view! read more

The dining rooms was intimate and the perfect setting for a wonderful meal. The melon soup and tomato tartar was delicious and that set up a fantastic main course for each of us. We all had something different including black bass, clam bake, beef tenderloin and quail. Each dinner was well presented and extremely flavorful. We ended the evening with a blueberry dessert that was exquisite. read more

I can only comment on the dining experience. Everything was outstanding from kerry who was serving my table to the amazingly fresh and superbly prepared food. This is a must stop for foodies. As it was expensive I only had two dishes. Both were creatively prepared. I would return here often if I lived in the area. I highly recommend eating here. Good for special occasions and romantic dinners. read more

Had breakfast here with the family. Pricey but excellent. Cuisine, presentation and particularly service were all awesome.

Really delicious dinner. Service, presentation, quality - all top quality. Highly recommend.

Had an outstanding dinner there for my husband and my 5 year wedding anniversary. The service was amazing and the food was unbelievable. They accommodated our dietary restrictions (vegetarian and vegan) perfectly. Could not have asked for a better evening. Would definitely go back again. read more

excellent service and food, walked away very satisfied and was still talking about how nice everything was the next day
