    Went during restaurant week. Everything was exceptional. Appetizers we had were escargot and the one board.  The escargot was not overly oiled or smothered in garlic yielding, a pleasant taste. The contents of the one board were complementary. For entrées, the duck confit was cooked to perfection. The haddock ratatouille was superb. The fish was perfectly flaked and went well with the seasoning in the sauce. Desserts were equally as exceptional. We had a white slightly sweet wine recommended by Eric which paired well with both of our meals.

    The tavern provided a cozy and unique setting for a dinner out, while visiting my daughter at UNH. It was our first time there, but we will definitely return. The Inn is adorable, the food was delicious, and the service was outstanding! The proximity to the school was also very convenient. I highly recommend!
