- RRyanGreater Boston •3 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWe’ve driven by this restaurant 9,000 times but never stopped. Such a pleasant surprise. The hostess seated us as soon as she could even though the place was slammed for Valentines Day. The menu was fixed, but the food was absolutely fantastic and probably the best Italian food I’ve had in this area. Our server was super nice and didn’t rush us, and checked in often. We got the mushroom ravioli with beef, and the cream sauce was done perfectly (hats off to the chefs). 10/10. We will be back!More infoPastAmorePrice: Moderate• Italian• Amherst•4.9

- DDanielNew Hampshire •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoBuckley'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.More infoBuckley's Great SteaksPrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Merrimack•4.7

- TTimGreater Boston •5 reviews5.0Dined on 15 Nov 2024Excellent, tasty Thai food in a clean, spacious, attractive setting. The staff are accommodating and friendly. I had the House Special Curry (with shrimp & scallops). It was delicious but mild, so I added some hot sauce to kick it up. My spouse had the Khao Pad Poo (Crabmeat Fried Rice). It is a solid choice with good crab flavor in every bite. Our dinner companion had the Larb Duck Salad: ground duck meat and other yummy things on a bed of lettuce. I can't wait to go back and try some of their other dishes! Recommended.More infoK'sone's Thai Dining & LoungePrice: Moderate• Thai• Nashua•4.5
