Late one night, I realized that I missed dinner, and I was home, alone…read more So, I made a quick trip to Jesse's, which I've known to be a very respectable member of the community, for a very long time. My experience at Jesse's could not have been better. The menu is generally spartan on chicken, but, on the night of my visit, Chicken Teriyaki was a nightly special. The Chicken Teriyaki could not have been better. The chicken was not the usual restaurant/Sysco rubbery chicken variety, but, instead, real, plump chicken breasts. The only thing missing was some extra teriyaki sauce (the chicken was a little on the dry side), and in a matter of seconds, it appeared. Jesse's has long been a reliable, staple in the Hanover community, and it has maintained that distinction. Jesse's once, fabulous salad bar, is reduced to a memory, but, I think that went the way of Covid 19, and has not been seen again. Staff were attentive, minus the host who had gone missing from the podium, kind, welcoming and professional. The restaurant is immaculate.

Will return to enjoy dinner soon

We have been to Elixir several times before and each time, the superb service, great ambiance and delicious food have been noted. Elixir is one amazing place in White River Junction We started by ordering two Caipirinhas, this being one of the very few places that serves Cachaça and its repertoire of cocktails. Then we went to devour the delicious Artichoke dip and lastly, their main courses, both of us had their evening sea bass special that kept us licking our fingers afterwards. Washed it down with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc. Service was flawless.... We were able to leave with plenty of time to make the play and even do a little digestif walk. A superb place for dinner.

The service is friendly. Brandon was my server for the evening, and he did not miss a beat. He was very attentive and provided great advice on the menu. The bees knees cocktail was so balanced, and one of the best tasting ones compared to so many restaurants that make this overly lemony or too sweet with honey. When I was asked if I would like bread, I asked what, if anything, was special about it. Brandon says, welll the bread is good but the highlight is the chimichurri sauce. Immediately intrigued, I found the dipping sauce to be less chimichurri and more like a delicious salad dressing but it was strangely addictive to dip bread in. The flash grilled Caesar had a delicious homemade dressing and briny sardines, very good as well. For dinner, I ordered the char-grilled teres major steak, paired with malbec. The steak came covered with an au poivre sauce, cooked perfectly medium, and so juicy. This was complemented by roasted carrots, and potabello mushroom, onion, and potato hash. The potatoes were large, crispy cubes. There was nothing about this meal that was less than stellar. I highly recommend it with the malbec! For how amazing this restaurant is, I was surprised that the price wasn't goug-ey. I wouldn't hesitate to come here for a great night out.

I'm not normally a bread and butter before dinner gal but it hit the spot. I split two pastas, and one of them was okay, while the other was AMAZING. The chicken carbonara was a 7/10. Not a bad pasta, but nothing crazy. It really tasted like Alfredo pasta with a bit more savoryness. On the other hand, the short rib Bolognese was way better than expected. 10/10, honestly. The short rib was tender and melted in your mouth and the sauce wasn't just a standard marinara. It was richer, with a sort of creaminess and perhaps even a good amount of cheese. It was AMAZING. Definitely the spot to go in Hanover.

This is a bit surprising as hotel bars are often frequented by non-guests in larger cities (if they're good enough), and Pine at the Hanover Inn has plenty of local patrons. Anyway... the small-ish bar/lounge here is very tastefully appointed, and the food is quite good. As far as atmosphere, drinks, and food, this place should be doing a brisk business, but it seems nearly empty every time I pass it. I think I found out why... which is why I'm knocking twstars off for the service. My first glass of wine was a short pour, and then I had to wait 15 minutes (no exaggeration) for the refill after I asked for it. Overall, I felt rather ignored and often went very long stretches with no attention at all. I know good service staff is hard to come by in the Upper Valley, but this was a little ridiculous.
