Our Favorites

Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes

One of the most beloved items on the weekend brunch menu, the Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes are a delightful celebration of simplicity done right. These pancakes are light and fluffy, made with rich buttermilk that gives them a tender, melt-in-your-mouth texture. They’re generously studded with blueberries that have been marinated in orange liqueur, adding a subtle citrus brightness that elevates each bite. Drizzled with local New Hampshire maple syrup, these pancakes strike the perfect balance between sweet and tangy.

Monte Cristo

If you’re craving a savory-sweet sandwich that’s both hearty and elegant, the Monte Cristo delivers in spades. Layers of savory ham and nutty Gruyère cheese are sandwiched between house-made brioche, which is then dipped in a rich egg batter and fried to golden perfection. It’s served with house-made jam, honey mustard, and, of course, NH maple syrup bringing together salty, sweet, and tangy notes all in one bite.

Herb Roasted Salmon Fillet

For those seeking a refined yet hearty entrée, the Herb Roasted Faroe Island Salmon Fillet from the Afternoon Classics is a standout. The salmon is roasted to perfection, then paired with brown butter sweet potato, wild rice, maple-glazed Brussels sprouts, and a pancetta crumb, all brought together with a cider gastrique. This is a thoughtfully composed dish that highlights New England ingredients and technique. It’s elegant, but doesn’t feel overly fussy.
