    Lots of delicious options
    Irene B.

    My husband and I were in Littleton for dinner and decided to try this place. We were pleasantly surprised by the cocktails as well as the tapas. Service was great and the ambiance was very cozy. We remember going to the old restaurant that used to be here called Balliwick's many many years ago. We tried the burrata dish, tuna crudo, corn agnolotti, and the mussels. Our favorite was the corn agnolotti which had an amazing garlicky sauce. We will be back to try some other dishes soon!

    Stopped in here for lunch after visiting the flume gorge. We were starving so got a bunch of plates. We ordered the dip flight, crispy brussel sprouts and braised lamb pappardelle. Service was great and everything was delicious, only got a pic of the dips because I forgot to take pics of the other stuff because we were so hungry! Would definitely come back.

    Schrute Farms cocktail, fennel infused gin, beet juice, lemon juice, honey, St. Germain, orange bitters
    Elizabeth W.

    On the Sunday night before Presidents Day around 6:15 pm, I was in town for business and was shocked at how busy it was. I waited for quite a bit (30+ minutes) for a table but totally didn't mind because the food, drinks, and service were absolutely worth the wait. Their wait list was over 10 parties long, and they were supposed to close at 9 pm! The restaurant is lively and the bar was packed. I would have sat there at the bar, but people on the wait list were seated at the bar too. Jalen was incredibly friendly and honest and apologized for the wait, which wasn't too bad at all. For a cocktail, I ordered Schrute Farms, which as gin drinks go, was absolutely original and outstanding. I hadn't had fennel infused gin before, and certainly not with beet juice. Having had delicious gin cocktails before with carrot juice, I knew this would be amazing, and it absolutely was. The drink was perfectly balanced with lemon juice and St. Germain elderflower, my favorite combination, and the beet juice truly enhanced the gin. I ordered the last Schrute Farms for the night, as they ran out of beet juice. I guess it's popular. Whatever reviews said that the food here lacks flavor must have just took a wrong turn and have been in a different restaurant. Every dish was packed with flavor. The kampachi crudo was a Valentines special. Kampachi is a yellowtail fish and is tender and mild in flavor. This, punctuated with chilis, dill, and a delicious broth, was one of the best crudo I've had in years, blowing any mere tuna crudo out of the water. I would eat the rabbit agnolotti as the quintessential comfort food, where the truffles and parmesan were delicious but highlighted by herby rosemary in the rabbit agnolotti filling. The pasta was homemade and perfectly al dente. The duck conft is next level creativity. It was so crispy, and who new that popcorn miso cream was what I've been searching for my whole life? The gremalata and manchego absolutely made this dish something I will not forget. I got the last one of duck confit of the evening as well, so I certainly won the food lottery! Order this early in the evening, lest they run out. You cannot miss this restaurant in Littleton. Hats off to Jalen for her incredible recommendations and friendly, prompt, and genuinely great service! I will be sure to come back with friends.

    Best Meatballs I ever had

    Well, I only went here three times in 6 days...LOL. It is a surprisingly large place, but the bar has only about six seats, and it is always busy. The decor inside is very cool. Very inviting and not cramped at all. The people who own and operate it ensure that the service is excellent. I can't say that enough. Everyone is responsive and is there to make you happy. I had three tapas dishes on one evening, including meatballs, whitefish, and shrimp. Everything was prepared perfectly. The meatballs were just outstanding. The broth was super flavorful. I could have had three orders. Let's talk cocktails. They have a very well-stocked bar and have some very innovative cocktails. I enjoyed a variety of them. Chris is also perfectly willing to make the old standards to your liking. I drank a lot of gin martinis while there and they were perfectly mixed. Go here and try it. You will NOT be disappointed!

    Nice little spot located in the back of and underneath the historic Thayers Hotel on the main drag in Littleton, NH. I went early (4 pm ish) on a Wednesday and it was very quiet. Sat at the bar and the only other patrons were an older couple also seated at the smallish bar. Tapas size plates (although the calamari would comfortable have fed two people). I had the Calamari, and the lamb sliders (2 to an order). Both were delicious! The bartender was an outgoing friendly type, not intrusive but not afraid to talk with you. Nice guy. His concoctions at the bar were delicious. Try the Honey Honey B!

She had such amazing energy--friendly, welcoming, and genuinely happy to be there. She was absolutely fantastic and really helped set the tone for the entire visit. The restaurant itself is beautiful, with a great atmosphere and plenty of character. Service throughout our meal was excellent, and everyone was friendly and attentive. As for the food, we tried the Brisket Sandwich and the Maple Buffalo Chicken Sandwich, and both were fantastic. The brisket was flavorful and satisfying, while the maple buffalo chicken had an awesome combination of sweet and spicy flavors. And if you're a beer lover, you'll definitely appreciate the selection here. They have a ton of beers on tap, with plenty of options to choose from. Great food, great service, awesome atmosphere, and an incredibly welcoming team. Definitely a place we'll be coming back to! Especially after the long hikes we have.

I did specify medium but it was past that. The chicken sandwich was good. I do think the bread may be a bit too much for what's on the inside. The balance is a little too bun heavy. Fries are good and service is good!

    Quaint and lovely old Inn located in Littleton NH. Our server was very friendly…read more The menu is a nice selection of foods. Ranging from chicken to steak to lobster. Parking is difficult although maybe there is more parking that I did not see since it was a rainy night. I will update this section when I go back. Service was slow This was just our server. She was busy leaning and doing other chores that we waited a long time to order our food it took her so long to get back to us when it was time for desert that we did not bother The other server on the other hand was very efficient and took fantastic care of his clients. They have a special that is 2 dinners and a bottle of wine for $40.00. The items that you can choose from are marked on the menu. It was a good selection. This special is from 4 to 6 pm you may want to make a reservation as they fill up fast We had Lobster an decided to upgrade to the lazy man Lobster. The Lobster was cooked to perfection. It was a good size portion I would guess between 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 lb solid meat. We did not see a wine we wanted from the list but they gave us a choice of either another beverage, salad or desert. My friend chose the salad which was a rather large salad. It was one of the best salads I have seen served. Try thief home made dressing. I opted for the desert which we took with us. I had the Turtle cheesecake. It was not too sweet. A nice size portion and worth going back for more. Even though our service was slow I highly recommend going here. The food is well worth the price. They offer items from $11.95 to $30.00 The owner was quite charming and you can tell that he cares about his clients. The guests that stayed at the Beal House Inn were very happy with their accommodations. We will be back Food. 5 star Service. 3 star. See notes above Atmosphere. 5 stars.

    Fantastic Transformation!…read more What a wonderful surprise to learn that the Beal House Inn was under new ownership, better yet, that the menu has been completely revamped and re-priced to better reflect the area. The previous incarnation was nice but VERY expensice and not often living up to the price point. The new Beal House has a diverse locally inspired and sourced menu at some of the most reasonable prices north of Concord. Traditional American fare mixed with well trained culinary techniques in the kitchen result in a diverse range of north country comfort food. I wanted to order multiple things on the menu and had a hard time choosing, which is a very good sign of things to come. We enjoyed classically executed Escargot with a hint of Pernod, the snails were tender, juicy and not a hint of chewiness. I could have eaten another two or three orders of these, and at only $9, I will next time! Crab cakes were the only weakness, they had too much Panko mixed in so the texture was more like seafood stuffing, but the accompanying Old Bay Aioli almost made up for it. Served on baby spinach, this could be fantastic if they change the crab to panko ratio! Beef tenderloin was cooked perfectly, as was a "caveman" cut of Prime Rib, both were fork tender and served with caramelized root veggies and garnished with a cut out Maple leaf of beet and carrot. For the very very hungry, they offer a "lion' cut of prime rib that would feed 2 hungry skiers with leftovers for sure. Meat-a-pal-oza! Dessert was also a winner, simple and elegant, puff pastry with divinely light limoncello filling, copious raspberry coulis and fresh whipped cream, Ill upload a photo ! Best of all, the new owner offers a "Beal Deal" special that is a screaming bargain. You get 2 entrees AND a bottle of wine for $40 if you order between 4-6, every day! Cant wait to go back and try the Lobster mac and cheese during a snow storm They also have 7 rooms for full and tired diners who don't feel like driving home

I should have known better, though. What we got: - Lobster roll flight - Fried clams dinner The lobster roll flight is served as an appetizer and doesn't come with any sides. It was lobster prepared 3 ways. Classic butter, wine sauce, and a jalapeño mayo. The classic was good, the wine sauce was bad, and the jalapeño mayo overwhelmed the lobster flavor. It would be better as a classic mayo with a drizzle of the jalapeño sauce. In all 3, the lobster was overcooked and the portion was small. The fried clams were delicious. About 9 or 10 in total. A big portion of fries and two small hush puppies. The hush puppies were delicious. But for $30, the price is too high for what you get. The server was friendly, but her energy was off-putting. She was very erratic, made sure to mention that they had drinks on the menu, and then proceeded to give a detailed list of every alcoholic beverage they had. We came in for lunch, on a Wednesday, and weren't looking to drink; her energy just didn't match the energy of the room. When we said we were just going to have water. She exclaimed "FANTASTIC, LOVE THAT!" and then rushed off. Surf Shack was a hit and a miss. But more of a miss. For $75, 1 app, 1 entree, and water. The price is outrageous for what you get.

    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.
