    Not able to accommodate gluten free requests or make substitutions without an upcharge. This is literally a bar off to the side of a hotel lobby. I did not make the DoubleTree association until I put it into my GPS. Also, apparently, there was a shortage of tomatoes -- the two mushy/mealy slices on my CAPRESE salad, were clearly the other slice to the mushy/mealy slice on my hamburger. And the Dragon Fruit sorbet was....absolutely flavorless. Completely devoid...like a red slushy, with tiny seeds. The whole experience at least made us laugh.

    A very good place to start your day. Sound level was comfortable, staff was attentive, breakfast food was very good, especially comparing it to other hotels’ buffet breakfasts in the area

    We’ve eaten here twice and both times the food was delicious. This place definitely flies under the radar. We had the cauliflower appetizer (my wife is vegetarian) and it was excellent. Completely not what I expected. It was like a wedge salad meets spicy cauliflower. But still finger food! Very inventive and the presentation was perfect. I had the pork shank. It’s giant. German style roasted and just falls off the bone. Highly recommend. It was in a bean compote. I’m not a big bean fan so I thought that was ok. Make it German spatzle or potato salad and that knocks it out of the park for me. Many times a restaurant in a hotel, as this one is, can be just OK. These guys have it dialed in.

    Went to an event at the SNHU Arena, decided to check out The Current Kitchen & Bar. Staff was very pleasant and prompt with service. The food turned out to be very good, pleasantly surprised for a hotel restaurant. Steak sandwich was excellent, good portion of steak, cooked perfect, Caesar salad also very good, lightly charred romaine- nice touch, chicken and dressing great, chicken fingers got the thumbs up from a 10 year old who is a ”connoisseur” of chicken fingers!!! Great experience all around,!will definitely go back.

    I booked the reservation for a party of five at 5pm on Saturday. I thought we were going to eat in the dining room. This is in a large hotel, we actually ate in the bar area. The menu is small, but everything was very good. The calamari was excellent, as was the fish and chips. The blackened shrimp tacos were good, but needed a little more filler. The staff was attentive, prices were on par for downtown Manchester.

    Service was very slow. We checked in for our reservation on time and were seated, however, our waitress was not notified. After about 10 minutes, she came to the table and accused us of seating ourselves in a rude tone. We said no, we had a reservation and her demeanor immediately changed. The restaurant was nearly empty, 3 servers working and no one really served. Food was fine, but do not recommend. We were arriving from Hawaii and did not want to drive to dinner and since we were staying at the hotel, we found this option.

    Time of day was 2:15 pm Very quiet and slow. Found a waitress named Erica who had been there for 2 wks. She was friendly and helpful. Husband had a hamburger, I had a haddock sandwich, both came with fries. Nothing special, but was good.

    Took over an hour just for our waitress to get our drinks, meanwhile there were several open tables and very few diners. Then after delivering our second round of drinks and our appetizer, seemed bothered by the fact that we were wanting to order actual food (as we had our baby with us) which also took a ridiculous amount of time for it to come out.
