Customer Reviews
I just gave the breakfast buffet a taste test on their opening night, and they passed with flying colors. I then tried their new dinner menu tonight, and it was even more impressive. Everything they serve is fresh that day. They have a very gifted chef, and food is simply amazing. If you go for dinner, make sure you save room for dessert. I highly recommend the prime rib (available at the buffet and on the dinner menu), the salmon, and their fluffy homemade cheesecake. I look forward to going back to check out their live entertainment!
My mom and I visited this gem of a restaurant while we were staying in the area for the Special Olympics NH Summer Games 2025, and let me just say — WOW. We needed a place for dinner, and I called the day before to check if it would be safe for my mom, who has a severe, life-threatening allergy to crustaceans. I explained the seriousness of the situation, and the person I spoke with reassured me they'd take every precaution. My gut told me this was the place to go — and I’m so glad I listened. From the moment we walked in, the experience was amazing. The atmosphere was calm and quiet — almost like a hidden retreat — and we were surprised to learn the restaurant had just recently opened. Despite being new and having limited bar items, they absolutely nailed the most important things: servi
This place felt outright illegal. The door staff were wildly inconsistent with ID checks—my valid, real ID was denied, then accepted seconds later after an argument. Inside, the crowd was shockingly young, and people who appeared visibly underage were being served alcohol in plain view. I even watched someone walk off with an entire handle of Granite State vodka without staff noticing, which says everything about the lack of control. Between the lax ID enforcement, underqualified staff, and apparent underage service, this was easily the worst bar experience I’ve ever had—avoid it.
Absolutely amazing! The food was 10/10, our server Wesley was super friendly and helpful, and Chef Greg was the absolute best. He is the owner, and came out of the kitchen after cooking out meals and talked to us and made sure everything was exactly how we wanted it. Genuinely one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. This place should be jam packed every night for dinner. Also you can’t beat the prices. Come as soon as you can to come check out The Blue Flame!
We went for the breakfast/brunch spread. The food was fine, there was everything that you would find for breakfast (eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, french toast, and a good assortment of veggies and fruits) and they were all good. The service was awkward, however. The server spent most of their time hanging out with the chef, texting, and sipping their own coffee, leaving us with empty water cups and no refills for half the time we were there. The chef might have been trying to be friendly, but yelling across the room that "it's going to make you fat" when one of us went to get a slice of cheesecake to split between us was... not exactly what you would do if you make and offer this dessert to your customers? Unless if you don't actually want people to eat it, I guess. The food was good but
