After my last experience at Amigo’s in Merrimack, I’m not sure I ever want to go back. However, I do believe in second chances, and will probably give these guys another go sometime in the near future. Even though I never received an apology. But I’m not bitter about it.
To be fair, though, I know [...]

Braised short ribs and dried figs with goat cheese, soaked in locally made wine. Salivating yet?
I was fortunate enough to eat the aforementioned items this week at Black Forest Cafe, during their celebration of New Hampshire Wine Week (and hopefully most of you were, too).

The menu was limited, but the choices were decadent. I brought [...]

This is one powerful cup of coffee: from now through March, Bonhoeffer’s Café is donating 100% of their profits to Haiti relief efforts. The café, which is tucked away on Franklin Street in Nashua, offers a variety of Fair Trade certified and organically-grown coffees, freshly roasted from A&E Roastery in Amherst. Their menu also boasts [...]

One culinary tragedy turns into some good news for local foodies/boozers: Joey Zontini, the bartender of the former Black Orchid Grille, is now a member of the team at Stella Blu. Zontini has a loyal fan base in the Nashua area, so it’s great to see that he will still be a part of the [...]

Mediterranean fare and a global wine selection – what else do you need? Manchester just got a new eatery that offers both of these things, plus some wit and charm to boot (see website). Claudia Rippee and Edward Aloise, the former owners of Café Pavone (which they sold in 2000), have just opened The Replubic [...]

I love when upscale restaurants offer deals that they may never have considered pre-recession. Take Saffron Bistro, for instance: the eclectic American restaurant is now offering new deals during the week to lure more customers in. Let’s hope it works. Every Tuesday and Wednesday in the bar, diners can get a free appetizer if they [...]

Here’s another local restaurant that’s celebrating New Hampshire Wine Week, folks – and it happens to be one of my favorites. Unum’s in downtown Nashua is holding a special event on January 27th for their Wine Down Wednesday. Two acclaimed winemakers and winery owners (Rob Stuart of R. Stuart & Co. Winery from Oregon, and [...]

New Year’s resolution: eat more Applebee’s. The restaurant chain has recognized the growing trend of Americans wanting to eat healthier, and has launched a new menu because of it. The menu, ”Unbelievably Great Tasting and Under 550 Calories,” offers only five new items that are prepared specifically for the health conscious. The new menu was developed [...]
