    Great service, comfortable local space and excellent home…read moreCooked and creative food. Great night! Loved the crunchy salad! Watermelon soup was special. Lots of chartreuse based drinks. Highly recommend as a local foodie experience.

    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.

    Before attending the Wicked Smart Horn Band concert, we hit Rek- Lis. We were told the wait was 40…read moreminutes so we tried the pint house and were seated immediately. The setting is actually more comfortable on a covered deck with corn hole and other games to keep you amused. We ordered food which was prepared in the main brewery and was delivered in containers to us. Good intel for next visit.

    Unsure how it would be to have a reception for a wedding at a brewery... And then we came to…read moreREK-LIS BREWING Behind the brewery is a building that is rentable for events such as a wedding reception you walk into a full bar? There's a dance floor area on the side. There's a nice fire pit patio area we walked out back. There was a full coloured area the length of the bar where we sat for dinner and beyond that was a brand-new deck they had added on with cocktail tables then take maybe eight steps down from the deck and you're in a beautiful landscaped grass area that is wooded with fire pits and lights going through throughout the area The service was great never had to wait long for a drink or any type of food and they were always cleaning up quickly as well The food was great too not expecting what to get a very good job bringing it out serving everything came out beautiful we will see you again soon even if it's just to stop in privately no big party LOL Skny-G

    Much better menu than the offerings upstairs at the stuffier 1902 IMHO. The fried smoked provolone…read moreis an elevated mozzarella stick app and wonderfully delicious for it! UNIQUE and appreciated. My husband's filet dinner was PERFECT. Super tender, lovely seasoning/sauce, divine pureed potato side, garlic mushroom bowl on the side. My roasted halibut was just okay, though I was coming from Boston and Maine so the fish just wasn't what I'd want in general vs those spots. Also they put it on a small "puddle" of sweet corn puree which really should be served OVER it as sauce to counter the dry plain fish. I liked the roasted okra but it, along with the bacon tidbits sprinkled around, they were a strange afterthought and the "blistered" herb potatoes were bland and just mush like not even as good as a breakfast potato. If I were the chef, I'd nix the potato and do a saucier puree with the corn and/with bacon OVER the dish and do a more fun flavorful (not an afterthought) veg like a green or a roasted asparagus, crisped Brussel sprout side. The mushy potato was a THROW AWAY and the bacon tidbits like bacon jerky cut with a kitchen scissor sprinkled around in some 1990s plating presentation. This whole thing could be a better incarnation of the dish! Truly.

    Marginal food at high prices. The steak was tough, chewy…read moreand lacked flavor. Asparagus (larger ones were underdone too crisp to chew easily) the smaller asparagus were ok. The swordfish was tender, juicy and cooked perfectly.
