We had a great Valentine's dinner at the Atlantic Grill. We were seated immediately. Loved that the tables were a nice distance apart. Our waitress Rita was great, very sweet with a great way about her. She made us comfortable right away. The chowder was as great as advertised. I could've had more! The entree was really tasty as well. My wife's food was as prefect as she wanted it. Neither of us had any room for dessert! They gave all the women a rose as they left. Very nice touch. Everyone from the hostess station to the servers and everyone else we came in contact with were in a great mood

Row 34 somehow manages to serve high quality, refined seafood dishes and also a fantastic kids menu. It's a favorite for our whole family. Food is always delicious, drinks are great, and service is fantastic with friendly and helpful staff. And I agree with my 4 year old when she says the fries are "the greatest I've ever tried!"

As always, our time at Puddle Dock was delightful. The ambiance totally drew you in. Our waitress who we have had at a previous time was very accommodating. Seeing as there was one in our party who is gluten intolerant she was very helpful with choices. The food was mouth watering. We love coming here especially on play nights.

We finally made it to Massimo into our daughter’s second year at UNH. Worth the wait. Literally my dinner was so good it melted in my mouth. I had the squash ravioli to start then the halibut in the the richest/ lightest/ most heavenly artichoke lemony caper broth… i will Not forget this dinner or the adorable ambiance downstairs. The bolognese was also a hit with my husband and daughter. Can’t wait to go back and maybe try the upstairs' next time. Perfect spot for lucky valentine diners tonight.
