    The Nantucket Pie was excellent!!! Shrimp, scallops,  haddock,  and lobster!! Delicious

    We came to The Common Man Restaurant for dinner yesterday, May 20th 2026, while on vacation in Ashland NH and it was the best meal we have had all week in NH! The meal was exceptional! I highly recommend this restaurant if you are looking for friendly service and great food in a clean and very interesting environment! Our server, Maddy, was wonderful with a beautiful smile and demeanor! The general manager, Patrick, helped us with a discount from the resort we are staying at and he couldn't have been nicer! This is the restaurant you are looking to try!! You won't be disappointed ​

    I have been coming here since I was a kid and it has always been a one-of-a-kind place. The lounge upstairs and the live music really made the night when I took my boyfriend here for our anniversary. We ordered a few things to share; the uncommon salad, sesame tuna, onion soup, mussels, and escargot. Additionally, our drinks were tasty and the staff was eager to please. It was a nice date night.

    Such a great place! We felt like we were welcomed into someone's home. Never been to NH before. Went for the fall foliage of New England. Not disappointed. Food was fantastic! Service was great! So fun to see the area where On Golden Pond was filmed. The Bar upstairs, totally cool!!

    Service was great. Bacon wrapped shrimp was delicious as was the cornbread it came with. The crispy pork sammie was not crispy and overall boring. A nice casual and cozy interior with sofas and chairs groups to enjoy food and drinks.

    Lobster corn chowder

    Here for a quick lunch. Service was friendly, but a bit slow. Took about 7-8 minutes after our soup and starter to serve our entrees. Drink: Common Man Ale. Standard. Less hoppy than typical golden ale. Soup: lobster corn chowder. Thickly made, generous portions of lobster meat and corn, seasoning was good. Starter: special escargot, snail meat taken from shell and poached with cheese, butter, and served with croutons. A fun dish, snail meat tasted bouncy, cheese and butter went well with the snail and croutons. The additional bread for cheese was cold though. Entrees: my friend ordered the fall chicken and said it was a bit too salty. I had the NY sirloin steak medium rare. The menu specified that it was choice cut, so quality is not up to par with metropolitan steak houses. It also came closer to medium than medium rare. But seasoning was good, outside grill was spot-on, and inside texture remained juicy. Overall: 3.5-4 stars.

Their ice cream is made with a tiny number of ingredients and you will recognize everything in there. We came during the winter, so we did not get to experience the make your own flavor where they make it in front of you with liquid nitrogen, but we had a large assortment of flavors as ice cream pops dipped in chocolate. If this place was near me, they would be my go-to #1 ice cream shop. The ice cream was not overwhelmingly sweet and since it was made with cashews it did not have an overpowering coconut taste. The owner was ridiculously nice.

    While in the woods of New Hampshire, we stumbled across Rock Salt thanks to a google search for ice…read morecream. The sign is emblazoned "Nut Based" and "Cashew Milk". Oh no... had we stumbled onto some hippie facsimile of ice cream that would leave us just as fat but not as happy? The next nearest place was twenty minutes away (hey... it's the woods). Maybe we could just pick up a pint of Ben and Jerry's at a supermarket? Oh wait, those are wicked far, too. So we took the plunge. Are we ever happy we did. This is no flimsy health food recreation, this is the real deal. I'd even say better than ice cream. The owner makes it right in front of you--dripping cashew milk onto a frozen counter that he then freezes with liquid nitrogen. The kids had a lot of fun watching it. Everyone was amazed at how good it was. Given the crowd at an off hour of Saturday afternoon, it's a local favorite. It's not like there is any foot traffic. It's almost worth a two hour drive from Boston to have again!

I had requested a window table when booking and we got one! The restaurant seemed full, with mostly resort guests. Very lively bar area, great atmosphere and lighting. No children in sight while we were there. Our waitress was very polite and efficient as well. We had the Caesar salad and fried calamari as appetizers; that's what we had last year and we loved it - still great this year. Boyfriend *loved* the calamari, it did have a "kick" to it - watch out for those jalapeños! He gives me that big parmesan chip from his salad and I love it! He had the 14oz striploin steak as main dish and unfortunately, wasn't too impressed. He found it a bit overcooked (had asked for medium rare) and it was kind of bland (that's probably his fault though because he had asked them to remove the garlic aioli usually served with it). Also - this cut wasn't a bone-in so the steak was bigger than he expected, and he couldn't finish it. He loved the asparagus and other veggies however, which were prepared perfectly. I had the napoleatan Ragu which I thought (from seeing pictures on social media) would be a MUCH smaller portion than what was served. It was tasty but I couldn't finish half. If you are boxing up leftovers it would probably reheat really well the next day (we couldn't as we are on a road trip. I mean, maybe I could have anyway. But it's a bit late to think of that now, Amelie). Overall it was another great evening... ambiance is most important to me when eating out and this place has it right. We liked our main dishes better on our 2025 visit though (pizza and shrimp scampi) - and would keep that in mind if/when we return...
