My husband and I stopped by the Merrimack location today for lunch. Our server, Brian, was excellent. He was attentive and friendly but also gave us space to enjoy our meal without too much interruption. I ordered the meatloaf burger and my husband ordered the Double B. Both were delicious and the perfect comfort food after walking the nearby outlets on a chilly rainy day. About halfway through our meal, a woman who I assume is a manager came by our table to check up on us. As a former assistant restaurant manager, I was pleased to see this as it’s not common enough! She later returned, just as my husband and I were debating dessert. We couldn’t decide between two and after a little back and forth finally decided. She returned five minutes later with both desserts, saying the second one was on her. It was our 17th anniversary today but she didn’t know that. Her kind gesture, the excellent service and delicious food made our day one to remember. We will be back!

The sweet corn bacon ravioli is one of the most unique and tastiest dishes I've ever had! So much variety on one plate but it never felt like too much. The flavors are all complimentary to one another. The chicken was so flavorful and tender. I alsoordered the lobster chowder to try since I've never been a fan of clams. It's a great take on clam chowder and I was shocked tofind a whole lobster claw in the chowder! It's clear they use high quality ingredients here. I'm already craving the ravioli andit's only been one day ????

This place was fabulous. I had the Nantucket Pie (shrimp, scallops, lobster, and cod in lobster sauce, sprinkled with ritz crackers). It was sooo delicious. Then I had the mud pie for desert and it was fabulous too. We sat at the bar downstairs andDan was the bartender. He recommended both of these items. Great choices. I highly recommend this place.
