Town Square Tavern

We came here a little while ago for a fundraiser and were impressed by the atmosphere staff and food. Lunch today we were greeted as we entered. Shown to our seats ,menus and drinks arrived quickly. Order the blt. Wow the best we have had. Was perfectly created using really good ingredients. So happy to find finally a good lunchtime place for an impromptu stop or a dinner which looks promising

Our son recommended and we went on a Sunday for brunch, we arrived before they officially opened and they got a table ready for us. Server was very nice, service was very slow. We were there for over an hour before our food arrived. Salmon was over cooked and the veggies too and burger was undercooked but the fries were great. The chicken and waffle special was with boned chicken and skewers but it was very good. Not sure we’d recommend unless they have more help or quicker service. It was a tad expensive for the quality in my opinion and the adult beverages were okay, the old fashioned was more of an ice cube than liquid. I had high hopes since the atmosphere seemed so welcoming. The bathroom situation is odd, right in front of the bar.

Delicious is underrated for Town square Tavern in Keene. Every dishes are phenomenal. The flovors, the textures, the presentation are so well-balance with French touches. One of a kind restaurant for sure. Cloth lining bacon’s signature dish of David Burke. It Is very mouthwatering and activated my palate for first course. AKA droolingg while the staffs torching the bacon. Wings and Rings are very unique. The calamari rings are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside (NOT RUBBERY). Wings glazed are the mixture of sweet, savory, and tad bit of spicy. BEST mussels I’ve ever had. Plum and juicy in a buttery bursting flavor broth. Crispy skin salmon. I usually only eat raw salmon but I enjoy crispy salmon skin on top of ratatouille whole lot. Wild mushrooms risotto is wicked creamy and full of flavor and the crunchy of pepita (pumpkin seeds?) just elevates the dish, along with sweet eggplant for finishing touch. 🤤 it is so smooth. Desserts are delicious with Flourless chocolate cake and Cinnamon roll cake with vanilla ice cream and caramel drizzle. 🤤 I am so glad to have such a great french/artisan restaurant in New Hampshire. I can’t forget about Eliza for great service. And theirs raspberry lemonade is so refreshing with fresh raspberry for some acidic drink. 🥰🥰 I masked the price from the receipt because it well-worth the money.

Absolutely fantastic! We had four appetizers and two salads. Everything was phenomenal. The smoking bacon is not to be missed, the hummus was deliciously smooth and the deviled eggs were superb. Our bartender, Mikayla was a delight and we enjoyed chatting and appreciated her recommendations. Additionally the rest or the staff including the manager were welcoming and attentive. Service, food and atmosphere was just fantastic. We will be back!

Ordered the brick chicken with a side salad (+$1) and a side of vegetables ($8). I was confused when I got 2 side salads, one with no dressing. Called to get it corrected and they said 'oh the side salad is our vegetables.' A. You should probably give more info if your side of vegetables is a few leaves of lettuce, a couple cucumbers and 3 cherry tomatoes and B. Why would you give someone a dry salad with no dressing? Really poor communication. I've never seen a side of vegetables and a side salad be the same thing but both listed on the menu...

We had a gift Card from a close friend given to us for a retirement gift for us to eat here. The service was HORRID from the moment we walked in I couldn't find anyone to seat us. We wandered into a bar area and asked if we could sit there and she said yes and I said I didn't see anyone and we were chastised for not using the correct door. Ill mention the door we went in was right under the sign. Then we got a drink menu. I couldn't find anything I could think of drinking on it so I got a canned cider. We ordered the fried duck wings as an appetizer. They were drumsticks. And cold. And soggy. Also the beans that came with them were cold and dry and disgusting, cornbread was like rubber. And also cold. The meals came, She forgot my side of fries. The brisket tasted like it came from a can. Mac and cheese was good but there was so much garlic that I was sick for 3 days after that. My husbands burger was average. When we were finished I asked to get the fries to go and mentioned she forgot them and she said OH, and then charged us for them! While dining, the waitress and bartender who was the manager was obnoxious. Did NOT wear gloves cutting fruit for the bar. The staff including her, was rude to other people coming in saying they went to the wrong door also. The single patty burger, mac n cheese, some wings and a couple drinks was OVER 100$ for LUNCH. Small plates. Not good, I would not go back or recommend anyone go there. We also were harassed by a homeless man when we left. My husband nearly knocked him out when he got in our faces. I do not recommend. Such a shame. Lucas was so much better.

I made a reservation for 10 people on my birthday, 3 children 6 years old and under included. The general manager greeted us upon arrival and made us feel more than welcome throughout dinner. He remembered me by name and made sure to tell us how grateful he was for our patronage. Our waitress Sara was wonderful—accommodating and fun. She made each one of us, including the children, feel well taken care of. The food was absolutely delicious and uniquely presented. I would definitely return!

We have been here several times and it's always a nice time! They have a great menu, the food is fresh, the servers are personable and attentive and the restaurant is rustic and beautiful. My parents were up, visiting from NY a few weeks ago. Admittedly, they can be a tough crowd. They absolutely loved their meal and said they can't wait to go back! 😀

Town Square Tavern (under new management) took over the former Luca's and Pho Keene Great spaces in the City Hall building in Downtown Keene. They are presently open for dinner 5 nights a week and weekend brunch service, 10am to 2:30pm. The place has the main bar area with seating and table seating on the left side and separate dining rooms to the right side. The bar offers 8 draft beers, wine list, cocktails, digestifs, and non-alcoholic drinks. The food menu offers a selection of appetizers, salads, burgers, steak frites, pasta dishes, risotto, seafood, chicken dishes, and desserts. The weekend brunch selections also include stuffed French toast, omelettes, benedicts (crab cake & lobster), croque madame, eggs & bacon, steak sandwich, & a dry aged burger. The prices are moderate high. I stopped by here around 1:50pm for brunch. I headed to the bar and took a seat. I was informed the kitchen was closing at 2pm, dining room/bar closes at 2:30pm and reopens at 5pm for dinner service. I promptly got my food order in, choosing regular food items also on the dinner menu. For a starter, the Steamed Mussels ($16 plus tax) had 20 steamed mussels with slices of Spanish dry cured chorizo, garlic, oven cured tomato in a savory hot broth, with 3 slices of charred soirdough bread slices to dip. For an entree, the Braised Short Rib Cavatelli ($24 plus tax) was a good portion of soft cooked cavatelli, tender lean pieces of short rib, mushrooms, truffle, creme fraiche. The sauce and flavors were similar to a stroganoff type dish, pretty good overall. I did request a box for the cavatelli to eat later. Overall, the food was pretty good and freshly prepared. The service was slightly rushed receiving my food together at the same time (I actually prefer this) and check presented before I was done, which came out to $43.40 with tax and before tip. I would stop by again for brunch so I could get the breakfast items.

What a great place. We had the burned bacon and fried deviled eggs app, then gnocchi with a beef ragout and the crab cake special. Awesome food! Good service.

Food and environment great. McKayla was a delightful bartender and it was mellow and chill. Really a nice addition to downtown Keene...

Stopped in for the first time since this replaced the Mediterranean place that was in the location previously. I was impressed! Great upscale, pub, food, had the steak sandwich with chimichurri sauce and it was excellent. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, food served promptly. I didn't get a chance to try the craft cocktails, but they looked intriguing, and the beer selection was good. It's also worth noting they have a separate room that would be pretty solid for office dinners and events.

We went there a few weeks ago when it was called Luca's. It was great . Made a reservation for last night and was so disappointed. We showed up on time and the hostess had no idea what she was doing which is okay . We sat at the bar and no one came up for about 10 minutes . We have never walked out of the restaurant like we did last night. So happy we were able to get a table at the Stage. Love that place . The management at Town Square Tavern should do better at training their staff how to acknowledge customers and do the "customer service" jobs .

Previous restaurant LUCA's a hard act to follow, and there is a lot of competition for this kind of restaurant. Had pros and cons. Pros: nicely redone inside, good music playing- not too loud. Got a burger, called "blended" do not know what that is. Big patty on an oversized but not big enough English muffin. Tasty but messy. Supposed to come with a pickle, but did not. Description better than actuality but Fries came with it...mediocre. The table next to ours ask for mayo but never got it. I ask for ketchup, never got it, but the mayo-less table had some ketchup and we borrowed theirs. My wife got "crispy" Brussel sprouts that were not crispy but were good (not as good as the legendary sprouts at Longhorn). They have elevated prices but who does not. The kicker came on the check where they expected at least a calculated 20% tip...but it said that percentage included a tip on the tax...outrageous. With the Stage, Fritz, Local and others nearby, a better choice there.

Went on a Thursday evening. Restaurant was fairly empty however it took a significant amount of time for someone to come to the host station. The person responsible for this task was spending a fair amount of time talking with other staff while another party in front of us and we waited. Finally realized we were waiting and they sat the other party but spent a significant amount of time talking to them at their table while we continued to wait. We eventually just went to the bar. We hesitated because there were dirty dishes at the bar where the seats were so we did not want to just sit and make the bartender uncomfortable. Eventually they cleared the bar because we did sit. Witnessed the table that was seated before us receive bread while waiting. We asked for the same but it never arrived. We asked multiple times and it still never arrived. The bartender was very nice and very new. She asked the kitchen multiple times but it appears she was completely ignored. She apologized to us which is respectable but not her fault. One dish was tasty the other not so much. I understand it is a new establishment but that is the time to be extra attentive to your guests especially since it was not busy.
