Bantam Grill: A New American Delight in Peterborough, NH

Loved it, so delicious! We're new to town and really enjoyed our whole experience here. If you're looking for great handmade cocktails, delicious cuisine and friendly service this is definitely your spot. We'll be back soon!

We had an absolutely excellent experience at the Bantam grill. All of the food was perfectly prepared and extremely well priced. The watermelon margarita was absolutely delicious. I would recommend every dish that we had, and could not fault any of them. The service was brilliant, and our server Rachel was extremely kind and helpful. Truly a 5 star experience.

It was suggested that we try this restaurant by the staff at Pearl Oyster Bar next door because they had no tables. I'm gluten free so was a little disappointed that the menu had nothing marked as GF. Although when I checked out their website upon returning home, they do list items as GF. In any case, I ordered the grilled ribeye which was very tasty, accompanied by whipped potatoes, broccoli and crispy onion straws. Hubby had the short ribs with whipped potatoes and roasted root veges. The parsnips were a little under cooked but the rest was delicious. He enjoyed the pineapple custard for dessert. Atmosphere was good, a nice crowd for a Wednesday.

The Bantam Grill offers an extraordinary dining experience with its upscale menu featuring bold, unforgettable flavors. They even have a gluten free menu!! During our visit, we were treated to a delightful array of dishes that left a lasting impression. We began with the Buffalo Cauliflower appetizer, a brilliant twist on a classic. The cauliflower was perfectly crisp, with a spicy buffalo sauce that packed a punch without overwhelming the palate. It was a flavorful and satisfying start to our meal. For the main course, the Brie Prosciutto Burger stood out as a masterpiece. The combination of creamy brie and savory prosciutto atop a juicy, perfectly cooked burger was a revelation. Each bite was a harmonious blend of rich and savory notes, making it a standout dish that is not to be missed. I think my favorite was the potato wedges that were perfectly crispy. Nailed it! The French Onion Soup was another highlight, offering a deep, robust flavor with caramelized onions and a rich broth topped with a perfectly melted layer of cheese. It was the ideal comfort food, executed with finesse. To round off our meal, we indulged in the Blackberry Crème Brûlée. The dessert was a perfect balance of creamy custard and tart blackberry, with a beautifully caramelized sugar crust that added a delightful crunch. It was an exquisite ending to an exceptional dining experience. The Bantam Grill excels in creating dishes that are both sophisticated and packed with flavor. The attentive service and elegant ambiance further enhance the overall experience, making it a top choice for anyone seeking a memorable meal. Highly recommended!

Really big surprise,pasta is amazing, homemade,ad was serving real "al dente", also for the first time I found a very good Bolognese ragù. Thank you so much for given me a very nice dinner. Very high selection of local beer The best and tasty onion soup ever.

Went to Bantam Grill on 2/13/24 for an early Valentines Day. The food and drinks were exceptional. Great Atmosphere cozy and quiet. Started off with Bacon Fat Roasted Brussels Sprouts Hubby had Grass-Fed Spicy Hawaiian Burger I had Smoky Chicken & Bacon Carbonara Drinks we had the Smoky Grapefruit Margarita and Mai Tai

A real restaurant in a strip mall! How nice to find a place with good food and a nice atmosphere. Prices are reasonable. It has a nice bar and thankfully no television sets vying for attention. It is the kind of place where you can have a meal and have a conversation.

The Bantam Grill is hands down one of the best (if not the best) restaurant that I’ve been to in New Hampshire! This cozy, unassuming Italian/American eatery feels like the perfect combination of upscale restaurant and local pub, with extremely polite and friendly waitstaff, as well as a bartender who should be working in NYC at an upscale cocktail lounge, because the two drinks that we had were unlike anything my palette had ever tasted before. The buffalo cauliflower appetizer almost had me fooled it was a vegetable, and the house-made raviolis melted in my mouth so well I swore I was in Italy. I will definitely be recommending the Bantam Grill to anyone looking for food in the Southern NH area, never mind Petersborough, this place is worth the TRIP!
