Michael Lunter

Great live jazz trio on Tuesday nights featuring an occasional guest vocals. Interesting, well prepared small plates on the menu, decent wine selection, several local beers on tap, inventive cocktails and friendly professional service all tucked into a classic New England style country setting. Semi-formal dining as well as a cozy bar area.

Spiro Pappadopoulos

Friendly service, the meal was hot or miss. Quaint New England restaurant.

I won't say that I didn't like it. It is ok to try French Cuisine once in a while. It was very loud in here. I personally don't like the bland food. Both the large dishes we ordered were very bland. Small plates were much better.

Lucas Nelson

Great atmosphere but the food is hit or miss. Stick with the steak.

Jennifer Schelly

Nice place, but loud and no kids menu.

Enjoyed many facets about this place. Lovely rustic decor and an amazing staff. I would bump it to a 5 star, but the food was underwhelming and definitely could use some TLC from the fine folks in the kitchen. We received the Thai lettuce wraps, and it was clear that nobody bothered to check the product before selling it. Not only was there far too much fish sauce in the pork, it was soupy and quite frankly foul. My escargots were a classic preparation, but needed salt desperately. If one does not properly season escargot, and serves them with a tomato based sauce, the predominant taste becomes the slugginess (earth) of the snails, as opposed to their natural meaty bouquet of flavors. Looked lovely on the menu, was beautiful on the table, but was disappointing in my mouth. :/

It's supposed to be more on the "high-end" side of restaurants. Definitely a solid place to go if you're not too picky, but if you're looking for an amazing meal, this place is a bit of a let down. The meatballs were decent, but definitely not cooked properly–in the sense that they were a bit dry and rubbery. The chowder lacked flavor, but was alright with some salt, which means the chef isn't quite an expert at making chowder, but he came close. The bruschetta, which all the waiters mispronounced, was very disappointing–the prime rib was a bit dry, and there was nothing else on it, so it was like dry shredded meat on a slice of bread, rather than actual bruschetta. The seafood casserole was lacking in flavor and not even close to being worth the $29 price. I'd be willing to pay about half the amount for the quality. If you're looking for a great meal, this is not the place. The atmosphere is nice, the servers are friendly and fast, but the chef is very disappointing. I do not really want to return to this place, as there are far superior restaurants in the area, as far as the food quality goes. All and all, it was a good time, but definitely not what I was expecting given its reputation.

Excellent small plates were just the right thing for a vegetarian dinner! Personal service and attention made for lovely experience.

This is my favorite restaurant. I live nearby and this is invariably the restaurant that we end up choosing. The food is consistently delicious, the ambiance is great, and the wait staff is both friendly and attentive

Yeah it's pretty good.

Nick Roos

Admittedly, very unimpressed. I understand that it was Valentine's Day, but the menu was very over priced for the product that was turned out. I arrived for a 7:30 reservation and didn't leave until 10:10. Furthermore, everything that came from the kitchen was either luke warm or cold. This only exacerbated my frustration when a 200 dollar check came out. They also did this very weird thing where they had you pick two choices for each course; 4 total ( 2 app courses, an entree, and a dessert). I think this is why everything came out cold. Regardless, the whole experience has put me off from going back again anytime soon; certainly on a holiday at least.

I've always enjoyed eating here, friendly staff and tasty food. Quite a cozy atmosphere on the pub side and a nicer, slightly more formal atmosphere in the dining rooms. I do wish the beers rotated out more frequently, but they are always solid choices. Excellent cocktails.

Very eclectic menu. Food is excellent. Maple cider brussel sprouts off the charts. It took awhile for the food to come, but it was not excessive.

Across from the Norwich Inn, where we visit every year, Carpenter and Main is easy to overlook, but it is more than worth searching out. By the way, the website photos dont capture the close and subtle conviviality of the place - except for the photos of the bar, which do. The dining area behind the bar has a tucked-away alcove for two, which we only discovered in our most recent visit. The food and service are simply outstanding. If you're in the area - Hanover, Dartmouth, King Arthur cooking school -Search it out if you have to, don't overlook it..
