It took two calls to reach the owner, who did credit me back the difference. I'd encourage anyone dining here to keep their receipt and check their statement carefully. It may have been an isolated incident, but others should be aware.

There have been many times where I've tried restaurants that had a lot of stars, but the local people are just inflating the reviews. - this is not one of those places. The food here is absolutely phenomenal. The speakeasy vibe even adds to the ambience. The drinks are strong yet not too strong. This restaurant is so good that I am now planning a trip with my wife and my friends to come back up to this area to ski just so I can bring them here and have their mind blown with how great the food is here. if there was an option to give six stars, I would!

So we heard about this place on one our trips to Keene. First time we ventured over, we picked a…read moreday when they were closed. Second time, we just stopped in for drinks. Third time I stopped in I had dinner. The bartenders and wait staff dress in 20's attire and the place has that prohibition feel to it. They make high-end cocktails but I usually stick with a gin and tonic. The menu is limited but the meal portion was generous. I had the chicken fried chicken. It was a huge piece of breaded chicken over mashed potatoes and asparagus topped with a traditional white gravy. Very tasty. We've added this establishment to our rotation when we visit Keene.

I had the duck breast(medium rare), which came with perfectly cooked broccoli and a delicious risotto. There was also a sweet sauce, but I'm not sure what it was. The restaurant is located left and up from Stage restaurant, right off the Keene main square. Special thanks to cocktail wizard Erika(sp?) for making the best Smoky Garden Gimlet w/ orange twist I've ever had. She has cocktail super powers, so be sure to ask her for something unique.

This time I came over for lunch before a meeting and it was magnificent. A salmon salad the size of a serving platter with a huge, deliciously crispy, salmon fillet with apples, raisins, cranberries, lettuce, tomato, walnuts etc, that made a solo lunch into an epic meal. Service was absolutely superb. The server kept making rounds ensuring I didn't lack anything. Always with a smile. Couldn't all for anything better

Wanted to try something new while staying in Keene between ski days. Given the current cold snap,…read moreit was right around the corner from where I was staying. I was solo so sat at the bar. Bartender didn't impress. Not sure he was experienced. Give away was putting olives on martini containing grapefruit juice, not mention an even number of olives (bad luck). The menus were fancy and I ordered a shaved roast beef sandwich with au jus. Shaved roast beef was on par with Steak-umms. French fries were your typical bagged fries. All in all it was ok at best. Was hoping for a little more given the quality of the other restaurants in the area.

I was there last night on a Friday and sat at the bar and had dinner with my partner. The food was…read moreexcellent. I had Mr. Miyagi. It was excellent. My partner had the short rib ravioli which was also excellent. We are whiskey/bourbon drinkers and the one thing that whiskey/burboun drinkers like in their old fashioned type drinks are single, large ice rocks and not the little broken ice chips that easily dilutes your drink. These are so easy to make yourself. Just buy an ice tray that makes them. The other thing whiskey/bourbon drinkers like in their drinks are the bourbon cherries and not just the plain maraschino cherries. Just two easy recommendations to elavate the experience. The staff was also very friendly.

You have one day in Keene to eat somewhere. You want history, local flavor in the food & drinks?…read moreThat's what we wanted. Checked the menu on yelp, and loved the variety. Upon arrival (be warned, gps will take you weird way through back lots, bit you will get there) was impressed by the beautiful historical structure it is housed in. Theres a lovely outdoor eating area, and plenty of indoor dining in various types of rooms, and a bar area. We opted for indoor dining, was seated in the main dining area. Its a beautiful space with restored wood work and craft beer decor. They brew their own beer. I had the Bird NEIPA, probably the smoothest IPA i have ever tasted. Loved it. Apps: OUTSTANDING! the spinach artichoke dip I guarantee is better than any you have ever had, anywhere. The bagel chips with everything seasoning compliments the dip perfectly. We also had the sweet potato corn jalapeño soup. Creamy, flavorful with the perfect spicy finish. Dinner: Took forever to get to us. Almost an hour from when we ordered. At 45 minutes our server said he dropped one of our meals, so he asked kitchen to make 2 new ones..so one wasn't just sitting under heat lamp. Very much appreciated, but even still..it should not have taken that long. My meal was ok. Peach BBQ pulled chicken sandwich, there wasn't much chicken. The bun was barely toasted, and not a broiche as advertised. Just a regular burger bun. So i couldnt hold the sandwich up without it drooping. I ate with fork, it was fine. Just a bit disappointed. The NY Strip however, was melt in your mouth good, the demi glaze sauce was amazing too. Would definitely come back here if ever in area again. It was that good, even with the bad timing. So many other menu items i would love to try
