Best restaurants near me in Swanzey, NH

The atmosphere was elegant, simple and clean. Tjere is a wide open view to the kitchen and it added a bit of energy to the dining. The hosts at the front of the house were friendly and offered to checks our coats; an all but forgotten nicety in venues these days. The menu was small but ambitious. The cocktails were terrific and there was a wide choice of wines, though extended considerations were for full bottle purchase only. The food was served hot and prepared immaculately. The only mistep was a mushroom side dish that described it with anchovies, an unusual preparation we wanted to try, which was why we ordered it. However there was zero anchovy taste to it, and none visible. Very odd. Like it was just forgotten. A disappointment in an otherwise great dinner experience.

Great place and lovely setting! Food was top notch!

Another outstanding experience at The Hermitage. The chef Michael consistently turns out beautiful plates, perfectly cooked regardless of what you order. We sampled the special cinnamon bun baked in a skillet. It is indescribable - so delicious. While we split it between 4, we could have easily had another person share it with us - a generous portion. Eggs with fillet mignon or lobster crepes - just perfectly prepared. Skiers and those who are just relaxing in the area should make every effort to sample lunch, brunch and dinner. While special celebrations are in order in the grand, elegant dining room, brunch, lunch, early or late dinner are very cozy in the tavern bar. My family appreciates the variety of offerings when we gather and we appreciate the romantic atmostphere for just the two of us. The wine list is exceptional. The prices at The Hermitage are similar to much lesser restaurants locally. I would chose this location over any other in the valley for my personal style of eating - fresh, simple, ample, local in a beautiful location. Thank you!

What a beautiful space with incredible food. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our evening. He had the estate greens salad and the pappardelle. He raved about both and is trying to figure out how to replicate them at home in Pittsburgh. I had the citrus salad and the roasted duck. Both were fabulous! Our server Theresa was so thoughtful and attentive. We will be back!

Meal was amazing, love the space and service was top notch. But most importantly, Kaycie is the best.
