A great place for lovers of seafood and electic fair including blending carribean,asian, and cajun tastes to name a few. Food is the attraction here and is always top notch and is not overpriced regardless of what others have said.Beer selection here is limited, they don’t try to stock everything, but what they do is usually well rounded and pairs well. They typically offer NH products like Moat Mountain and even imports like Unibroue.

I honestly didn’t eat much of the food because it was too damn expensive, but what I did eat was very good. Unfortunately, I went in the place based on the lunch menu which looked somewhat affordable, but got the dinner menu which was ridiculously expensive and very limited. The service was fairly good, but there just aren’t that meny beers there. Maybe my southern tastes are cheaper than most people, but I would have expected to find something to eat other than an tiny appetizer under or around 10$.

Too bad this condo rise is being built right in front of it as its facade is now hidden from view. We sat in the second floor dining room, and were treated to a dinner which we will remember for a long time. First off, they have local beers on tap, I chose Moat Mountain’s Stout. I never thought I’d see this brewpub’s beers anywhere else than the brewpub itself, which shows how far they’ll go to get something interesting and regional. Other beers on tap were also interesting, a Smuttynose seasonal, Buzzard’s Bay, etc. But the food is the real highlight of this restaurant (duh!). The menu is creative, electic, and ingredients are very carefully chosen. My wife and I had two mesmerizing plates, both unique and full of details up to the tiniest bite. I’d never had so much fun tasting side vegetables. Flavors melding perfectly with each other, a harmonious union of delicate class. All for under 20$ an entree. Healthy and very tasteful, the chef is doing wonders here, and I will be back next time I’m in the area for sure. Bravo!
