Granite Restaurant & Bar - Concord, New Hampshire

Perfect place for a special occasion, birthday, anniversary etc. The food is beyond. They have a seasonal menu that highlights the time of year. I enjoyed that there was a small menu that was full of fabulous items, rather than a large menu with filler food. The cocktails were made perfectly and the dessert was on point. This was an experience that I would definitely recommended.

We came back in 2019 for Valentine's Day. Again had reservations, but waited well over an hour to be seated.

As before, the people, the food, the atmosphere, and my French Martini was great.

We stood at the bar for a while, because drinks are not allowed in the waiting area. Then seats at the bar opened up and we were able to sit down. We had great conversations with people we met and the bartender, Cory, was excellent.

We finally were seated and our server was friendly, attentive, and our meals were perfect.

My suggestion, if you are making people wait that long to be seated when they have reservations, and you are already charging exta for the experience, and have failed to deliver on the package ... offer them a complementary drink as compensation.

I have not changed my rating from last year, but was tempted to drop it down, as the price paid, there was no excuse for the delay in the seating for us and many others. Sometimes the experience you have includes the attitude you bring with you. (Me)

Below is my first review.
First visit here. It was Valentine's Day, but we had reservations, so we were seated promptly. Not sure if they were short staff, but our wait between ordering and receiving anything was very slow. Most items were great. I ordered the 8oz filet, and my husband ordered the duck. He said mine was the better choice, and I would agree. The oyster selection was very good as well. The dessert champagne cake was moist, but nothing spectacular. The 2012 malbec was just opened, I was told. But the temperature was too warm. But the French Martini was very well made. Overall a great expierience, but over priced for the experience. My suggestion try this place when it is not a set price per person.

Wow! My husband and I are foodies and love to travel and try new places. We loved this place! The food is delicious & presented beautifully. The staff are all knowledgeable and wonderful. We will definitely be dining again soon!

I thought that the server we had was slow responding to our needs, as he appeared to be more attentive to customers who arrived after us, taking their order while we were sitting for about 15 minutes with our menus closed. (The reason for the low star rating) The food was very good and we enjoyed our drinks. The hostess was very nice, and the dining/lounge area were clean.

Service took forever. We constantly waited for everything - to get water, to get drinks, to order, water refills,, for our check. If service was better, we would have had another round of drinks but it was terrible. Food was good, but nothing to write home about.

The food itself was decent, but service was awful.

Showed up for dinner not aware there was a special Valentine’s Day fixed menu at a set price and we were unable to order from the regular menu. This would have been fine if communicated beforehand, but it was listed nowhere on the reservation, their website, socials, and it wasn’t mentioned when they called to confirm the reservation. None of the other diners around us knew about the fixed menu either.

Both of us got the steak, we were never brought steak knives. We had asked multiple people for steak knives, and never ended up getting them. We asked for our dessert to go, they ended up bringing it to us plated. These are small things that wouldn’t normally matter to us, but it all added up.

Our waitress was MIA after taking our order and wasn’t back until she dropped our check off 2 hours later.

The food and drinks were good, so it was a big disappointment that the service was so lackluster, especially for the price for our meals. Would not recommend.

We came here for our Mother’s Day dinner and when we were sat it took a long time to get greeted by our server and get water. Drinks took a while to come out and when our food came out, the portion sizes were pathetic for what they charged you. I understand sometimes when you don’t get quantity because the quality is good but the quality wasn’t even there. I ordered a petite filet with shrimp and received the smallest piece of filet I could imagine along with 2 barely cooked shrimp. Flavor from the dish was absent and overall this whole dinner was a disappointment and we felt completely ripped off for what we were served. Too expensive and a disappointing meal.

It sounds like a great place but cannot find out if it's even open. Website says it's closed, but Google says it's open
