Best Historic Restaurants in Merrimack

We had a fantastic dinner. The food was amazing. I had the Bistro steak and my husband had the lamb. Our server was absolutely wonderful. We will be back for sure!

My husband and I had a fabulous Valentine's Day dinner at Common Man Millyard, a restaurant we always enjoy. The tables were decorated for the occasion, and our dinner included cocktails (a black cherry old fashioned and a maple Manhattan), chicken dumplings with yuzu sauce, and surf and turf entrees: delicious prime rib with poached lobster, hollandaise, perfectly tender asparagus, and mashed potatoes. The service was excellent too. Highly recommended.

Buckley's is well known in our region as one of the better places to dine, especially if one seeks a good steak. We were not disappointed. I got the sugar cured strip loin and my dining partner ordered the filet mignon. Both cooked precisely as we preferred (medium well). The preliminaries (bread with olive oil, a salad for my dining partner) were tasty without being too filling. The core meal was delicious. The server (Laura) was attentive and friendly. She muffed my beer order but I am not very picky -- she ended up crediting us anyway. Two of the five dessert offerings were sold out; we settled for the blueberry crisp, and it was excellent.
