Ambrose never disappoints! Dinner last night on their gorgeous outdoor patio was perfect! Our gracious and engaging host Jaime was so welcoming and helpful throughout our entire “unrushed” evening - as usual! Chef Stanley also provided his usual friendly service along with his outstanding, delicious food offerings. And let’s not forget Jack! Yes he’s new but this young gentleman worked …

This establishment represents a hidden gem within Exeter, NH. My initial experience with Hamachi was exceptional, exceeding expectations with its delicate and delightful presentation. This was followed by a remarkably velvety, rich, and delicious foie gras. The final course, a deconstructed beef wellington, demonstrated a mastery of culinary technique. For those who have not yet experienced this establishment, I highly …

We were just looking for a quiet evening with friends and found this absolute gem of a restaurant in Exeter, NH. The food was perfection from the temperature to the taste. The atmosphere was like visiting a close family members home if they lived in a beautiful NE colonial. The absolute best part was the staff.

What a unique spot with a truly thoughtful menu. Smaller size portions of delicious creations of the chef. Highly recommend the asparagus salad and Halibut, as well as tuna poke. Out of 7 plates that were ordered, not a single one disappointed. Great service as well.

With every bite you know that the chef poured his heart and soul into making that plate. The flavors meld so delightfully with the next. We enjoyed several tapa style dishes, every single one was beyond exceptional!!! Kudos …
