“Lovely farm for the whole family, delicious local foods inside, many seating options inside and out, and a place to charge hybrid vehicles. A great organization that supports the local land too!”

“Amazing food and ice cream! The food menu is on the smaller side but they have perfected it. The cheeseburger special is delicious and nostalgic, highly recommend. Really good ice cream and lots of flavors. Open seasonally and dining is outside.”

“I found this place because I was searching for a chefs tasting table. They ended up being booked out for a year so I figured just regular reservations would suffice.I booked the bar and was so glad I did. We got there and there was an anniversary card hand-signed with little congratulatory messages from the entire staff. So sweet.We did a bunch of small plates. I don’t know if I remember everything but it was all fantastic. They also brought out other dishes compliments of the chef. The chef came out twice and just chatted with us. My husband asked him about sunchoke because he’d never heard of it, and he literally went back to the kitchen and came back to show us what it was. The sous chef came out too. The owner and the bartender tag-teamed serving us and everyone was just so friendly, informative, and just so pleasant to be around. Everything was plated like a work of art. We literally stared at each plate in awe because of how pretty it all looked. Every dish was fully explained when they presented it.We started with charcuterie and it was amazing. Three meats I haven’t had before, all house made. House made pickles, jam, and crackers. A mustard that was out of this world.For our small plates we had:- crispy octopus with a squid ink tuile and some sort of amazing potato fondue. It was the best octopus I’ve ever had. We ordered it twice.- steak tartare with quail egg and potato croquettes. So tender and such an amazing mix of flavors.- duck fat beignets. We got these twice. The first was a sugar coated beignet with Serrano (I believe) ham, goat cheese and a jam. The second was foie gras with goat cheese and grapes. The sweet and savory and salty all together was a complete shock to my system. I’d eat them daily if I could.- hay smoked carrots with cecina, black garlic and port poached pears. This was compliments of the chef and was just such an amazing surprise.- salmon crudo with grapefruit, bergamot and freshly grated horseradish. Such an interesting mix of flavors. The salmon was served raw so the grapefruit was a great tenderizer. It was so buttery and fresh.- fois gras served with sunchoke cake. Yes, cake. The cake was sweet and moist and felt dense but was really light. Absolutely amazing. I don’t know if that even makes sense but that’s how I can describe it. Best fois gras I’ve ever had.- ricotta tortellini- also compliments of the chef. The dough was so tender. The ricotta was so smooth and creamy. It was served with garlic scapes and almonds and mushrooms that were perfectly cooked.- we ended up getting a cheese plate at the end as well. All three cheeses were so different and perfect. Also served with the crackers, jam, and a different mustard.For dessert we ordered a layered chocolate stout cake with a black sesame tahini ice cream. It reminded me of the most elevated chocolate peanut butter dessert you can imagine. They also sent us three other ice creams: roasted almond, fois gras, and mushroom. Everything was so creamy, perfectly sweet, and flavorful. Just absolutely stunning.I’m drooling just reliving it in my mind. I cannot wait to go back.The owner informed us about the outdoor seating along the river during the summer and how on Wednesdays (I think) they do fresh oysters that are caught that morning and the person who catches them delivers and shucks them as ordered.This was the most wonderful anniversary dinner and truly one of the top 5 dining experiences I’ve ever had, no questions asked. Such a wonderfully unexpected food gem in Exeter! Our sincerest thanks to every single staff member that made our night something we will talk about for a very long time.”

“This is the kind of place you go for anniversary celebrations, birthdays, or other special occasions. The menu changes daily, and every dish served is delicious and prepared excellently.Make a reservation weeks in advance; it's a small restaurant with tables for 2 and 4.But it's definitely a top place to dine in Exeter and the seacoast area.”

“One of the best ramen experiences I’ve ever had, the food was delicious, the chefs were amazing and social, will definitely be taking the trip up again from NY to visit!”

“We LOVE Loretta Restaurant. It is our favorite go to for a girl's luncheon, a romantic dinner, or a dinner out with friends. The food is superb, we have never had anything but delicious mouth watering lunches and dinners. The meals are made to order and you can ask for special care for allergies. We have never been rushed so the table can turn over! The wait staff is personable and a pleasure. I highly recommend a visit and a meal, if you do you will come back! And the owner is always there to make sure things run smoothly and all leave happy!”

“I feel like I am in my nonnas kitchen when I eat here… not only is their food on a whole different level of delicious, the staff are beyond friendly! The cozy and kind atmosphere make it feel very welcoming… their food is always great! We were fortunate to live so close and go at least once a week. Their burgers have changed my whole perspective on burgers. Not once have I had a meal I even believed to be adequate here… every single meal has been astounding and delicious, even the specials, the milkshakes, the breakfast… I can’t remember a time I had anything remotely poor or unmemorable at this cute diner. I can’t emphasize enough just how yummy their food is”

“Run, do not walk to this bakery if you are looking for the most delicious croissants in all the lands! Seriously their almond croissant is just simply amazing. I have to fess up, i ate that entire box in a day and went back the next day for more. I just had to get another almond croissant for me and bring one to my Mom who was also blown away but how good this dreamy croissant is.”

“This is such a lovely family owned business. The staff were so kind and we loved chatting with the owner's son. The portions and freshness were both impeccable. Especially loved the salad dressings, the beautifully done medium rare lamb, the smooth hummus, and the lamb special with green beans. Really though, everything was delicious and very fairly priced, and we were happy to have such yummy leftovers. Wish we had one of these in my town!”

“After a long trip traveling from Long Island Bahamas, we were cold and hungry. Stopped in and Lola was so welcoming, made me and my daughter Isabella (9 years old) feel right at home. Isabella who is usually quiet, chatted with Lola the entire time she prepared our food. We had a lamb gyro, chicken shawarma and chicken nuggets.. everything was great. Will definitely be back. Thanks Lola?”

“My husband and I attended a Get The Led Out show at the Ballroom. Ample parking and right on the beach, public bathrooms right across the street and plenty of places to eat all around. The entrance security was thorough and very polite and got the long line into the venue quickly. A short jaunt up a flight of stairs, a quick ticket scan and wristband and just WOW! The stage is up high and the room is VAST! I assume the first people in the doors knew there were tables to sit at throughout the concert as they were chocked full when we entered about 20 minutes before the show. There appeared to be upstairs viewing rooms too. My guess is they needed reservations or were private boxes. There are 2 sets of bathrooms at either end and many mini bars around the perimeter and several beer kiosks in the center. The lines moved quickly and everyone wore a smile and were very polite. There is an area to smoke out the back door and down multiple flights of stairs. The sound and lighting was fantastic and the experience was awesome. Wear comfy shoes!”

“We eat at Betty's Kitchen at least once each time we come to Rye. We love this place for the comfort food breakfast. The menu has plenty of choices for egg omelettes, pancakes, French Toast, meats, and sides without the menu being too long. Absolutely have to try it.Parking: Parking is plentiful.”

“This place is awesome! The seating seems cramped and bustling but it actually makes the entire dining experience comfortable and welcoming. The food was great from the fries to the ramen. Drinks were also amazing. Great place in downtown Newburyport I would highly recommend.”

“Melinda hooked us up with some DELICIOUS caramel expresso martinis while we waiting for our breakfast (all day) to come out! Great atmosphere, plenty of TVs, spacious bar area.”

“A quaint little breakfast joint right across from the beach on Plum Island. Filled with regulars and visitors, it might be hard to get a seat.Your patience will be rewarded as they are some of the nicest folks I’ve met in a long time, with great coffee, service, and food. They really make you feel at home.We look forward to our next visit there.Dietary restrictions: I was happy to see they had a few gluten free options and were ready to answer any questions that I had.”

“New Pale Ale might be the best I’ve ever had. Always come here for my preference for lagers and pilsners, but Silvaticus isn’t content to do the same thing forever. Great atmosphere (music is a little loud) and great beer. The addition of a real chef offering food is awesome!”

“First time dining here and it did not disappoint! Our server Elyse was friendly and attentive. Food was delicious and the margarita pitcher was perfect for my husband and I. Can’t wait to go back when its warmer out!”

“Best coffee roaster in the area! Much less in New Hampshire/New England! Always amazing customer service. Iced coffees, cold, brew, and hot coffees are all delicious. Highly recommend grabbing a bag of beans or ground to take home and brew for yourself.”
