Stumbled on this place during the summer & have been back several times. Whether you grab apps & drinks or just drinks at the bar, we've always enjoyed ourselves. Friendly service even at the busiest times, and top notch cocktails. We keep coming back whenever we're in Concord!

COVID HAZARD - USE CAUTION! My brother and I were excited to try out this restaurant, but from the second we entered the establishment on 12/10/2021, it was clear that our evening was slated for disappointment. There were dirty dishes at several bar seats and old napkins and detritus at the rest. We were excited by the impressive cocktail list, and we promptly ordered an old fashioned and a peach cocktail. Our drinks took 10 minutes to arrive, but we were happy to wait. As our bartender delivered our drinks, we began to drum up conversation, which quickly turned from bad to worrisome. The topic of COVID came up, and our unmasked, coughing bartender began an unprompted vaccine discussion that made it clear she hadn't been vaccinated. When we realized that our health and safety were at risk, my brother and I quickly finished our disappointing cocktails and asked for the check. While we were finishing up, the bartender openly mocked a fellow employee who was delivering food to a table behind us. We rushed out as fast as we could and we will NOT be going back.

Amazing food, the focus is clearly on freshness and it shows in the taste of the scallops and ramen. The cleanest warmest vibes on Main Street. Great for date night or before work.

Ramen and Tapis is excellent. If you’re looking for a place for date night or just excellent food and drink you can’t go wrong. Staff is awesome and you won’t get flavors like this anywhere else. 10/10

After coming up short in our search for a tapas-style restaurant in Nashua or Manchester that wasn't Spanish, we came across Whiskey and Wine in Concord and made the drive north. This was a birthday dinner for my friend on a cold December Wednesday night. The restaurant was not busy (probably 2 other tables with guests plus one person at the bar) and was staffed by one server/bartender and probably two people in the kitchen. Service was almost perfectly paced, though it felt a little slow at times, which makes me wonder how slow it might be if the restaurant were full. The food - we had a selection of small plates plus the steak frites entree shared between the two of us - was good. Each plate was served hot straight from the kitchen, sometimes by the chef himself. The sweet potato hash that comes with the steak was delicious - so much better than standard frites. The drinks (we had a couple of different bourbon mixed drinks) were good, but not anything to shout from the rooftops about. Good enough for me to order a second of mine, though. Three drinks from the bar, 3 or 4 small plates, plus one entree set us back about $122 before tip. The verdict? I'd come back.

Went there the other night and the wait staff was friendly and on top of everything. The manager and head chef came over to our table. If you are looking for a relaxed atmosphere and good food . Check this place out .

LOVE this place. The girlfriend and I came here for our anniversary and were blown away by this intimate dinner. Incredible ramen and bao. Great selection of spirits. The bartender and the chef are very hospitable. I definitely recommend checking out this lovely restaurant. Some of the BEST food in concord and it should be experienced by all.

Great spot in Concord! Server Amy was very personable and made delicious drink specials! Chef John personally delivered our food. Pork belly bao and cheese steak eggs rolls were fantastic!

My husband and I ordered takeout from Whiskey & Wine on two occasions. The first time, we were blown away. The ramen was to die for. I ordered a miso based ramen, and he ordered a pork based ramen. The broth was rich and heavenly, the mushrooms delicious, and the egg a perfect touch. It was so good that we ordered exactly the same meal about two weeks later. At first, I could have sworn we ordered from an entirely different restaurant. My husband had one BITE of meat in his dish. I had ONE slice of a mushroom, a few shredded carrots, and a lousy piece of bok choy. The broth was bland, and was about half the amount we received last time. There was no egg for either of us. The noodles weren't even cooked properly. Such a disappointment. I will not give them a second chance because of how disappointing our second experience was.

Don't come here. We were a party of 4 and had to leave early because after an hour we still had not received the salad one of us ordered. She did not receive her entree either, obviously. No excuses for whatever is wrong here.
My wife took my here for my birthday last night and it was so disappointing. We were here several months ago and it was very good, so not sure if there's new ownership but we won't be back. We were the only ones in the restaurant with our flavorless steak and unappealing sides and appetizers. My wife said the 99 restaurant would've been better.

This place seems overloaded and the food has probably suffered. First off, I do want to say big thank you to our server who was also running the bar, alone. She was probably doing triple the work load, so I really didn't want to give her any extra things to worry about.But man, the drinks were disappointing, and our food was really not well thought out. We ordered two small plates, a scallop caviar crostini, and a spicy tuna. The scallop crostini came out, with no caviar. We asked about this, and our waitress checked in and said, yeah, they weren't able to source caviar, so it's not there. Said she would check in on it, but again she's running around doing the full house, so we paid 22 dollars for 3 scallops on an inch of bread. What's sad is everyone agreed the creamy salty punch was exactly what this plate needed. The spicy tuna was also not thought out. The tuna was virtually unseasoned, really needed some sort of sauce or flavor (perhaps a spicy aioli) to tie it together, and sitting on top of a brick of deep fried rice that didn't add a pleasant texture.

Walked in and asked to be seated. The hostess said we could sit at the bar and another woman ran out and said that the empty tables and the bar were reserved. Ok. They said it would be 30 minutes. We said that was fine. We waited outside and saw no one go in for 30 minutes. We decided to go to a friendlier restaurant one block down. They had our cell number and never called. 2 hours later we drove by and all but one table was empty and they still did not call us. I will NEVER try them again.

Went in for an early dinner on a weekend recently. Small place, friendly staff. Seemed to take a long time to get our drinks even though the room was mostly empty. We were disappointed by the food, including the quantity. We started with the charcuterie board. It was much smaller that we expected, and with only limited ingredients. For $35 we were expecting more variety or larger portions. We each had another app; nothing to rave about, decided to call it a night. That and two drinks each brought us to over $100. According to Yelp, two stars is 'could've been better'. That is how we felt.

This is one of the best date night ideas in Concord or so my wife tells me. They have an amazing menu of all sorts of interesting appetizers and meals on rotation so you can go fairly regularly and always have new options. Top notch charcuterie, legit wine menu, and their whiskey selection is fantastic. I still remember my first time going there and was super excited to have cheesecake for dessert. After I finished the meal, the owner came out looking all sad and said they were out of cheesecake. Well, I was understandably livid, but maintained my generally good manners but did jokingly tell her I would trash the place on Yelp, which is obviously a joke because I only review places on Google like a gentleman. Well, she came out with a dessert bourbon for me, free of charge, which was some sort of maple something or rather. That's what I call service. I still want cheesecake, but this place is a superb date night.
