“love this place. it's super warm and cozy. The tables are perfect not too close together. great food, great service and great coffee. please open a branch in Rollinsford next time you expand♥️”
“Our first time eating at Gallivant was yesterday. It was fantastic. The place is beautiful with open brick everywhere and completely decorated for the holidays… Everyone from the chef to our server were very attentive and welcoming. The food was outstanding! We will be back for sure and all of Dover & beyond should get over to this great establishment!”
“My boyfriend and I tried Sara Thai for the first time after passing through the area on a recommendation. We would give it a 10/10. Mai Tais were delicious. Pan fried dumplings were to die for. My boyfriend enjoyed the spring rolls. Pho was also delicious. They also proved to be very mindful of allergies. I have a shellfish allergy and after letting them know and placing our order; they realized the base of what I ordered had a ground up shellfish paste in it, they instantly came out to ask me if it was allergy or dislike. When I told them severe allergy they told me what on the menu I could get as they were out of the base of the vegetarian paste they could use in place of the shellfish one was. Not many chefs or restaurants would think of small ingredients like this being a contamination , so I really appreciated the awareness. Didn’t get pictures of everything, but attached is two great choices!”
“First visit and not the last Great culinary and wine pairing experience. Everything was right and delicious. I loved the kindness and humility of the chef and his team, as well as their real love for the products and willingness to share their passion. Bravo encore”

“We wanted Italian tonight and was pleased to find Cartellis North End right in Dover. Service was great. You can actually see the kitchen from anywhere you sit. Even though the place is small and noisy, the atmosphere was quaint and the food was delicious. I heard they give large portions, so we ended up each ordering appetizer and splitting an entree but still brought some home. Loved the spinach/artichoke dip. The chicken wings looked delicious but the penne vodka with shrimp dish was wonderful. Thanks for being so close to home and bedtime wishes to expand some day soon.”
“Visited for the first time today. Great friendly, funky vibe and delicious drinks and brews. Hope to return with the wife soon!”

“Two Bees was such a delightful find! Everything about them was perfection. Walking into the cafe, the decor is lovely with a beautiful outdoor patio overlooking the river. The staff was so sweet and just lovely authentic people. But the offerings they had were simply divine. Their croissant was reminiscent of European quality, all their ingredients were fresh and tasty, but the best thing was their passion fruit tart- outstanding! Very highly recommend this place!”

“We had a fun night tonight at the June Cork celebrating my birthday with a free meal! My husband especially enjoyed the fish & chips. Waitstaff was friendly and attentive. Would recommend.”

“Easily one of my favorite breweries (in NH and beyond) and the place I always recommend to people for killer beer and awesome tacos. I have never had a beer here that isn't a straight 10, and their environment is low-key and so welcoming. Their staff is also awesome! Also lots of seating inside and a dog friendly patio. If you are in the Dover area stop in- you won't be disappointed!”

“We have been searching for a decent local restaurant that has great service & amazing food. We have been so dissatisfied in the past with other local places & stumbled across The Brick this afternoon. We decided to give it a try & we’re so glad that we did! From the moment you walk in it’s incredibly inviting & the staff is very friendly. The food was outstanding & the bartender that waited on us was top notch! We highly recommend The Brick! We will definitely be back!”
“My best friend and I are phô fanatics and had been pretty let down by the quality of our once favorite Thai place. We went searching for a new place to try and stumbled across Thai Taste. When I tell you this is absolutely our new favorite restaurant, I am not exaggerating. The meat in the phô was so tender it fell apart. The noodles had the right amount of bite, the veggies were fresh and the broth was to DIE for. Our crab Rangoon and dumplings were also amazing. That’s not even what really made this experience amazing though! The customers there seemed to be regulars and were so kind and easy to talk to. Topping it off with ridiculously perfect service and an owner who was clearly passionate, talented, and kind - it was clear this was a rare gem. Do yourself a favor and go. I live in Manchester and I will gladly drive the hour just to go here. They have a customer for life.”
“The three of us out of the family of four that ate the pork (either from the bottom of the pupu platter or chopped up in our fried rice) spent several days feeling like we were on death’s door thanks to food poisoning. I’ve never evacuated my bowels that much in my life without effort. This used to be our favorite place but sadly we will never do it again.”
“14 members of my family were in on Wednesday September 10th to celebrate my last chemo treatment and 3 family birthdays….our waitperson was Samantha, she was wonderful, very friendly, never missed a step when serving this loud talkative group. We want to make sure she is given a nice job….she’s an asset to your team….food was delicious….4 of us came back on Saturday for salmon….excellent again… Thanks to the staff, cooks and food we will be in many times again.”
“The food was amazing the wait staff was attentive the only thing I was disappointed in was we had reservations and after we finished our dinner we were told that someone was coming in so we had to leave after only an hour and 15 minutes.”

“My husband and I visited as part of our anniversary road trip. I highly recommend this place! The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly, the atmosphere was peaceful, and the selection of cider was just off the charts! If you happen to be in this part of New Hampshire, stop in, you won’t regret it.”
“We were visiting our family this past Thanksgiving in Somersworth. Stopped by Tendercrop Farm Market and saw your coffee. Smelled delicious so we purchased a bag of Morning Blend. Gave it a try when we returned home to SC. Was not disappointed and very impressed by the great flavor and smooth finish. We normally drink 1/2 caff coffee but didn’t see options for that on your website. We are ordering both the Morning Blend and Morning Blend Decaf and will mix these to make or own version of 1/2 caff coffee.
12/24/25: Follow-up to original post. Our version of Morning Blend half caff turned out great. However, when I received my first order, the staffed responded to my note and informed me that Evening Blend is their half caff. So just ordered my next batch of Morning Blend and also giving Evening Blend a try. Thank you for the help and looking forward to more great coffee. Merry Christmas.”
“Three sisters cake shop is going to become our go to local bakery for confections and other custom baked goods. They made the cake for our wedding this spring, and we could not be happier with how it turned out. Their communication throughout the planning process and willingness to adapt to changes were both excellent. We particularly enjoyed the tasting session before selecting our final cake tier flavors, and cannot wait to order another cake from the many that we tried on that day. The flavor and moistness of our wedding cake were both excellent, and we are still enjoying leftovers weeks later that have held up extremely well in the freezer. Thank you, Three Sisters, for making our wedding day memorable and delicious. We are looking forward to receiving our anniversary cake next year!”
“price of a custom burrito is 28$ same price of a extra large pizza. I create my own. their original burrito is 9.85$ location dover nh hi fi burritos price depend 10- 20$ pleasant people. I get treated awesome food, is always fresh. I recommend try their tofu. It is something you can't get from another place. Portion are the same however price went up. As everywhere else but worth it. I love their menu. As I rather not have that complicated. I've been going for almost a year now. I really enjoy seeing them. Everytime I went they are really nice to everyone. Including me. Some take the tike to understand me. They take the extra mile. When I first time going there 2024, I got a regular burrito. Then one day I had a thought. Why not get a big burrito kinda as a food challenge. I still remember, was her first time doing a big burrito. She put eye of the tiger for me from eating that. They have skills in mastering the burrito. Trust me on this. I always leave a 14% tip when they creat my food challenge the big burrito takes 3 wraps 5 tofu 2 brown rice, 2 Mexican rice 2 back bean 2 refried bean hand full of cheese 4 of each addons”
“5-Star Dining at La Dolce Vita, Dover, NH
I recently dined at La Dolce Vita, the charming Italian and Mediterranean spot in Dover, NH, and it was a standout experience from start to finish. We were greeted warmly the moment we walked through the door, with impeccable service setting a welcoming tone right away.
Our server was a highlight—attentive without hovering, knowledgeable about the menu, and eager to recommend pairings that elevated our meal. They made thoughtful suggestions and checked in just enough to ensure everything was perfect.
The star of the show was the pan-sautéed Chicken Parmesan. It was outstanding: tender chicken perfectly breaded and sautéed to a golden crisp, smothered in delicate marinara and melted mozzarella, served with fresh pasta. The flavors were bold yet balanced, with fresh herbs shining through—no greasy overload, just pure Italian comfort elevated by Mediterranean flair.
If you're in Dover craving authentic, heartfelt Italian-Mediterranean fare, La Dolce Vita delivers. Highly recommend— we'll be back!

“First visit, three regulars chatted up with me, one explaining the Nobility Club option. Second visit just as friendly. During my third visit I joined the Nobility Club. I am 🇩🇰 “Danish Royal Cousin”. 🇩🇰 I return several times each month. The food options are playful and individually prepared, each exceptional. The beer quality and variety excellent and equally playful. Do put this venue on your ‘to visit list’‼️”
“It was great! My husband and I went for our anniversary last night and the staff were friendly and very helpful. The food was outstanding. I got the ribeye and my husband got the steak tips and they were both delicious. Highly recommend, and we are already planning our next trip in!”

“We got our first loaf of this bread yesterday from tender crop farm. The man who was advertising this bread was very informative and helpful when we picked our perfect loaf. He was very proud of this company and his wife! He spoke so highly of her and was excited to show off her picture on the top of the bread shelf. Today we grilled the bread, my daughter had hers with Nutella and i had mine with eggs over easy. DELICIOUS. 10/10 recommend. We will try sour dough next!”

“Visited Fury’s for a private event. The food was put together wonderfully and deliciously and everyone was very attentive to our needs. My cocktail as perfect. I remember these old mills (Clarostat) when I was a young girl and I was pleasantly surprised to see how they’ve been transformed! There’s an outdoor deck with picnic tables on the water. If I ever cruise back thru Dover again I would definitely make it a stop to eat and enjoy a cocktail.”
“I never write reviews but I just have to shout out the amazing barista that made my drink! She was so so sweet and had the most beautiful nails I’m not sure what her name is but she had very pretty long red hair she made my drink perfectly and wrote on my cup ‘Have the best day!’ And honestly that made my crappy day a million times better 🙂↕️🙂↕️ 10/10 experience give that girl a raise!!”
“Best burger I've eaten in awhile cooked to a perfect medium liked fries too My bar tender was very personable and attentive”

“First time at Weathervane Seafood Restaurant everything was excellent. Graham did an excellent job as our server”
“I met with Nancy today at Fiddleheads Somersworth. I originally wanted to buy Terra Cotta gnocchi for my chicken and gnocchi soup, but we ended up talking from both of our vehicles all the way to cooking, she mentioned so many tips and tricks mixing some of the sauces and in the end I bought myself some alfredo sauce and pesto basil that I cannot wait try tonight for my family. Thank you Nancy for your cooking advices I will definitely stop by the place at the Mills soon!”
“My 10-year-old wanted to go for dinner and he asked the host if we could sit by the window. We were told no even though there were several tables open. Asked for a manager and the manager told us no that's not how they do it. We left”
“I love it here! There’s no better place to have a cocktail while listening to a live band, karaoke 🎤, and friendly conversation on the river!! ✌🏼💗 Fantastic team that works there!!”
“Great Location and atmosphere... Don't forget the SEVENTY FIVE beer choices!! AND, one of the best Burgers I've ever had. can't miss...and the staff is awesome to boot!! Be there!!”
“Service was great. Several times I've been there and had to send something back. Once was a riblets plate with honey barbecue sauce. A side salad was ordered. Instead got a riblet plate with spicy hot barbecue sauce and fries. I ordered steak and had to send it back repeatedly because it was rare instead of medium, then well done. I gave up sending it back that night and smothered my steak with mashed potatoes... Either someone was new to the job or learned to cook properly.”

“Living in Dover the coupons are sent directly, so me and a friend went and I enjoyed BOGO chicken strips, excellent value since one was free and my friend always likes the 4 for $4, we ate in and the new remodeled dining room was very pleasing and inviting, busy. Food was hot, prepared as ordered satisfying, I took home the second order, and wonder why the other 2 big chains cannot duplicate this experience- not even close. First tried Wendys in Columbus 1976 and hooked since then. Africa is a nice lady but she was off that day. Well worth going every day and if they came to work (kittery) would have this choice. Nice job-thanks Dave Thomas, your work lives on in these restaurants. Like Portsmouth too. Still my go to even with other choices nearby-between heavy discounts with mailed coupons and superior product-the BOGO for a $1 more-still around $8.00 for both-no one else comes close-hot, fresh, filling. The $1 Honey chicken biscuit a real bargain, and with coffee $3. total. My friend had the 4 for 4 and I brought a coupon for a free Single.”

“Staff was great. Asked if I was a reward member, which I am, then liked up my number, and told me that I have $5 in reward points, that will expire in two weeks. He didn't have to do that, but he did. Love the Thanksgiving sub and Steak Bomb subs. Loaded every time.”
