Very conflicted about this one. Let's start with the good!…read moreBeautiful restaurant with amazing decor, nice music, very busy and a more mature crowd - love it! Very nice waitresses too, who were doing their best in the limited space. The food is sooo good! Absolutely delicious. The owner/chef is the same guy who used to own the Beal House in Littleton as well - the menu is similar-ish and he is definitely very talented. We started with the milk bread and cheese puffs - have those!! All amazing. The bread is some of the best, if not THE BEST bread we've ever had at a restaurant. Boyfriend had the burger with fries and I had the brisket. OMG the brisket. Boyfriend had a taste of my plate and was soooo jealous he didn't have that too, lol. It was simply amazing. Falling apart with just a fork, perfectly cooked, delicious sauce. He loved his burger and fries as well. I simply cannot say enough about the food! Now a few issues. Small thing. The menu shown on their website is completely different than what they are currently serving, so don't rely on that (it may not bother most people, but I always have to check prior to going to a restaurant because Boyfriend is *difficult* and wants to make sure there's something he will like before we go anywhere). On their menu at the restaurant - they show brewery names (for example "Reklis", "Iron Furnace" etc), but not the beers themselves. So you really have to ask your server what the beers are - they had Schilling's Alexandr on tap which is Boyfriends favorite, but we didn't find out until the end of the evening - if he had known, he would have ordered it. And finally... one of the reasons why we didn't ask our waitress more info about the beers when ordering - she literally had to lean over the table next to us to take our order, so we were trying to make things quick. And that's because... tables are TIGHT together. Like, the worse we've ever seen. The restaurant was absolutely full with people being turned away at the door... this was a Saturday night, maybe if you come on a Thursday, etc, it wouldn't be so bad. But this was so weird. Thank god there was no children next to us (or anywhere in the restaurant) because I don't see how it would have worked. Please refer to my pictures... and see how close my Boyfriend is to his neighbors on both sides. However! Would we return anyway? We both agree we would! (He really wants that brisket, lol). Also at the Beal House, they used to make the best calamari ever, and we're really hoping it will make it on Tall Provisions' menu at some point. I just wish they would remove a couple of tables from the cramped dining room and space things out a bit more! But they are so busy and popular... I guess they need to optimize their space.

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.

Every plate felt elevated yet comforting, making the whole experience feel special from start to finish. We got: MUSSELS Steamed with apple, applewood smoked bacon, fennel, and hard cider, served with crusty bread. The broth was incredible--lightly sweet from the apple, aromatic from the fennel, and enriched with the smoky richness of the bacon. The mussels were plump and perfectly cooked, and the broth was so good that the crusty bread barely stood a chance. A bright and cozy way to begin the meal. LOBSTER BISQUE Silky, warm, and deeply flavored with poached lobster and a drizzle of tarragon oil. The bisque had that perfect balance of sweetness from the lobster and richness from the cream, while the tarragon added a subtle herbal lift. Each spoonful felt luxurious without being overly heavy, and the pieces of lobster were tender and generous. DIVER SCALLOPS Perfectly seared scallops with a beautiful caramelized crust, served over a smoked pea and butter emulsion with bacon lardon and tarragon and maple glazed heirloom carrots. The combination of flavors was exceptional--the smoky peas, the sweetness of the carrots, the salty crunch of the bacon, and the delicate, tender scallops came together in one of the most well-rounded plates of the night. PAPPARDELLE ALLA BOLOGNESE Fresh pappardelle coated in a slow-simmered sauce made with pancetta, beef, tomato, and Parmesan cheese. The pasta was tender with just the right bite, and the sauce was rich and comforting with layers of flavor from the pancetta and beef. Every bite felt like the best kind of Italian comfort food, hearty but refined. MOUNT WASHINGTON STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING Warm, soft, and wonderfully indulgent with bourbon sauce poured over the top and vanilla ice cream slowly melting into the sponge. The flavors of caramel, toffee, and bourbon made it the kind of dessert you wish would never end. A stunning finale to an already memorable dinner. Everything was so flavorful and delicious. 1902 delivered a dinner that was both refined and deeply satisfying.

The atmosphere felt calm and inviting, with generous portions and thoughtful flavors that elevated the entire experience. We got: CRISPY CALAMARI Light, crunchy, and fried just right so the exterior stayed crisp without feeling heavy. The banana peppers added a bright, tangy heat that kept each bite lively, and the homemade lemon garlic aioli brought a smooth, citrusy richness. A refreshing and flavorful start to the meal. STICKNEY'S SMASH BURGER A no bun version made with two juicy 4 oz patties, Cabot sharp cheddar, lettuce, crispy onions, and housemade barbecue sauce. The patties had a great sear and depth of flavor, the cheddar added the perfect sharpness, and the crispy onions provided a fun contrast in texture. The barbecue sauce was balanced with just the right hint of sweetness and smoke. Even without the brioche, it was completely satisfying. LOBSTER SALAD CLUB SANDWICH Sweet Maine lobster mixed with capers, shallots, celery, dill, and a decadent brown butter mayonnaise, layered with applewood smoked bacon, tomatoes, and lettuce on toasted wheat bread. The lobster pieces were huge and incredibly fresh, the brown butter mayo added rich depth, and the smoky bacon tied everything together beautifully. Every bite felt indulgent and full of texture and flavor. A wonderful lunch with hearty portions, delicious dishes, and views that made the whole meal feel that much more memorable. Stickney's was such a pleasant surprise and definitely a place worth returning to.
