Thank you all for making us feel welcome and for your excellent service. Another delicious meal-- Ceasar Salad with to-die-for pillowy croutons, perfectly prepared Truffle Risotto, sauteed spinach with fresh garlic and local butter, and housemade pistachio gelato with orange and almond biscotti. Thank you all- Happy New Year!

We go there a few times a year. We would go more (for the food and service), but it’s more likely we'll be going less or not at all in 2025 because the prices have become preposterously unreasonable. Especially for Keene. But even for bigger destination cities. They charge $30 for a small plate of pasta (not their “small plate” option but the full dinner option. No meat, no veggies, just a modest bowl of pasta in an okay sauce. And $46 for the second plate scallop dinner, with three scallops. There were six of us, so I could go on, but you get the idea. We shared 4 appetizers, each had one drink (4 spirit-free), and shared four desserts. In addition to the two full plate pasta dishes and the scallop dinner, the other three “mains” were the cod, a half-chicken broiled, and a half plate of pasta with a few shrimp. With a 20% tip, it was a tad over $500.

Steak cooked nice, sauce so-so, mushrooms were nice, potatoes were not good. The sauce is an important part of this meal for flavor, and to set this meal apart from any other establishment. For the price, I expected at minimum incredible potatoes, and a better sauce. Charging for bread before the dinner, tacky. Waitress was wonderful, staff nice, ambience super.

Crispy Brussels for appetizer excellent! Caesar salad WITH anchovies excellent! You might say, how can we praise a Caesar salad? It was perfect, just the way a Caesar salad should be AND the anchovies really completed the dish. Cod and Osso buco delicious. Yve was the server and was very friendly and helpful. Don’t forget to have the focaccia. All around great meal!

We have been coming here for the past couple years now. Food has always been phenomenal, the service has been excellent, and the restaurant is just overall our favorite by far. Our waitress the past 3 times has been Zoey and she is a wonderful host. Checks in on us routinely and a great representation of this restaurant. We plan on coming back for years to come. Thank you for the outstanding service and hospitality.
