They are picey about how they service their drinks, making up fake NH laws.

The noise level was overwhelming, almost unbearably loud. I even resorted to using earplugs meant for rock concerts, but they didn’t help much. Next time, I’ll opt for a seat in the bar area, where it was much quieter, without loud patrons trying to out-shout each other or children running around, which can be quite distracting. I do wonder when new parents will learn to manage their kids, as it used to be in the past when children were seen but not heard. Despite this, the food and portion sizes were impressive, and the service was good. My only real complaint was the overwhelming noise from other diners and their unruly children, which the restaurant cannot control. I would suggest visiting during the quieter hours in the afternoon, around 2-3 PM, to avoid the busy meal times. If you notice the parking lot is busy when you arrive, it might be best to sit in the bar if seats are available. By 7 PM on the night we visited, the bar was full with no available seats. My total bill was $34.90: - Veal Parmesan Sub: $7.95 - French Fries: $3.75 - Pepsi: $1.70 - Subtotal: $27.20 - Tax (MA meal tax): $1.70 - Tip: $6.00 The restaurant has ample free parking on the side, with accessible parking right at the front, complete with a wheelchair ramp leading to the entrance.
