    Chicken Piccatta
    Latifa H.

    This little gem is a local favorite in the white mountain national forest area in New Hampshire. The food was great. I got the steak frites and my partner got the chicken piccata. Both were DELICIOUS. My steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare and the fries were amazing as well. The salad was great too. For drinks, we got the key lime pie martini and the lemon lavender martini. The service was quick and great too. The best part was the ambience - they have live music starting at 9 pm and some nights it's open mic. So we got dinner with an impromptu show and we loved it. I would come back here when I'm visiting again. One thing I would check before heading here for dinner is the hours. They are not open on Tuesdays and Wednesdays like most restaurants in the area due to staff shortage so I would double check they are open before making dinner plans here.

    Stopped in for dinner after a leaf peeping ride. We were able to sit on the deck with out pup. The staff is amazing so kind and hospitable. The best part is that the chef made a special porkchop for our pupper too. She not only devoured it but also shared with my hubbie. So happy to have stopped in. We loved the food

    Solid spot with few improvements needed. Loved the farm to table vibe! When we arrived, our poor waitress (who was great) was the only server in there with a full restaurant. It took us about 15 minutes to get wait on. Our drinks were fabulous (manhattan and pickle martini) and appetizers were decent. Caesar salad had some brown lettuce and barely dressed but soup was yummy. Chicken piccata was great and the beef bowl was awesome! Entrees are the Star. We ran out of there before dessert as it took us 45 minutes to get water and our waitress was run ragged! We didn't want to wait 25 min for dessert. Overall fine food but wish they would add another server! Ours was so lovely and attentive when she was there but poor thing seemed to have 25 tables.

    $108 out the door with no liquor or $40+ lobster rolls!

    We had a couple of problems with this restaurant, some of them were probably a reflection of how busy they were on a holiday weekend. We have to compliment Luke, our waiter for poise (and stamina) under pressure. He was also waiting on several large tables with small children which is a lot of extra work. So, hats off to Luke for being super helpful. The bar is large and occupies the center of the restaurant. There are no quiet areas. As a matter of fact, the noise level was overwhelming. If you like going to restaurants/bars and screaming at one another at the top of your lungs, THIS is your place! Seriously. I had a clear view of the bar and people there were literally standing cheek-to-jowl and yelling at each other. It was so bad I started to wonder if I was imagining it. So I pulled out my sound meter app on my phone and the noise level was consistently at 90dB! So I give the ambiance an F-minus. Eat outside at one of the few outdoor tables if want to hear one another. On a busy night like ours, don't sit near the door or you'll have a crowd of people looking over your shoulder to see how soon you might finish your meal. Creepy! Not a great place for a date, unless of course you really enjoy screaming at one another. Now for the food. The Caesar Salad was lackluster and the little crown of parmesan was stale. My French Onion Soup was sweet(?) Bizarre. For our main entrees, The wifey got the Brisket Sandwich. Two chunks of brisket, one of which was mostly fat. My Blueberry BBQ Pork Chop was overcooked, hard to cut and there was about an ounce or less of the storied bluebeery BBQ sauce. I have to say that I've never until that night, bit into a crunchy blueberry. I hope I don't get sick! The broccoli "mash" looked disgusting and tasted like overcooked broccoli sent through a blender. The potato salad was basically chunks of boiled potato in some sort of tasteless white sauce. For dessert we had the Chocolate Carrot Cake which was really a piece of chocolate cake with sweet white carrot frosting. It could easily have been a mix. I hope this was an off night for the chef(s), but we ain't comin' back.

    Sitting out with a great view of the peeps walking by.

    My wife and I stopped in town to walk the streets and found this place. It couldn't have been any better. Great table and great service. She had the spinach salad w grilled chicken. Was the best salad on our trip! I had tge turkey, bacon, avocado sandwich. So good!!

    Yum. So happy with our food choices. The tastiest dishes. Great service, too. Highly recommend.

    Fantastic service and excellent food! Our waitress was incredible and made outstanding adult concoction recommendations. If you find yourself in N.Conway looking for great food, bevs, and service, give Chef's Bistro a shot!

    Friendly fun bartenders give exceptional service. The food was absolutely beautiful and delicious. We just went for appetizers and could not have predicted. We would find the best charcuterie board in the white mountains. Seasonal cocktail menu is imaginative and diverse. Will definitely be back.

The food was overall good. We started with the Thai salad. It was enormous and comes with pepper, sunflower seeds, cranberry, sunflower seed dried, almonds, and more. This salad was so good that we got it to go the next day! For entrees we got the Texas Tornado sandwich (boneless chicken breast with bacon) and the Surf and Turf Burger. The chicken wasn't dry and the sweet potato fries ($2 upcharge) were good. For the surf and turf, I didn't feel like the lobster blended well with the burger so I took it off and ate it separately. The French fries were finger licking good! Our waitress was really nice and friendly and make some good conversation and recommendations. The wait time for our entrees was a little slow.

We booked the "red room" for a party of 10 patrons which we scheduled far in advance. The people that were in the room before us ran over on their time, so we had to wait about 18 minutes after our reservation. The room is pretty cramped due to the length of the table, but it was cute and cozy. The max amount of people is 12 in this room. I had the taste of Ireland, which gives you three dishes in sample size: shepherds pie, beef stew & chicken pot pie. For $19.00 (kind of steep) it was okay. You can tell that there's a lot of pride, and it has a "just like mama used to make" method of cooking. Seems like they take a lot of pride in all of their dishes. It seems that everybody truly enjoyed their dishes, even the ones that had salad. Again, it was really nice that we were able to have our very own room. I would certainly come back and have the corned beef and cabbage meal; that's what my mother had and she said it was great. The only negative thing I would say is that our waitress seemed like she was a bit annoyed, having to wait on a large group and we needed to split our checks. Other than that I felt that our service was sufficient.

We meandered in to this rustic establishment and were completely surprised that there was so much seating ... doesn't look like much from the outside but it can accommodate a good amount of people which is why we did not wait. We sat down and felt like we were in a family lodge to warm up to for some good grub so, the vibe was fantastic. Our server was attentive and super friendly and it seemed a lot like the staff and people working were family and really cared how your experience was. The food on the other hand was a little lack luster in freshness and good quality as we got some appetizers and main courses that we could have really gotten at any restaurant so nothing that really set them apart ... this could be a gold mine if the menu was top notch. If you are looking for some pub grub and aren't looking for top shelf stuff, then this place is for you. Very clean including the bathrooms and they were rotating people in and out of the tables like a warehouse.

I've always been a fan of Wicked Fresh Craft Burgers, but my recent experience with the Wicked Steak Salad was a major letdown. I specifically chose this dish for the blue cheese pairing, but it arrived with almost no cheese at all. * Missing Ingredients: I found maybe two tiny crumbles in the entire container. If it were just sold as a "Wicked Steak Salad" without the blue cheese in the name, it would be accurate--but I ordered it specifically for the combo. * Lack of Evidence: As you can see in the photo I've attached, there is zero sign of blue cheese throughout the greens or on the steak. * Poor Service Response: When I called to let them know, I was told the cheese "must have melted into the steak." Looking at the picture, the steak clearly isn't hot enough to have vaporized the cheese. I'm disappointed that instead of acknowledging a simple kitchen error, the staff treated me like I was seeing things. I hate leaving negative reviews for places I previously liked, but being treated like you're crazy when you're just trying to provide helpful feedback is not cool. I hope they take more accountability in the future.
