Restaurant Week NH Lunch at Cactus Jack’s

March 21, 2015

Day 2 of Restaurant Week NH, and I have hit another lunch spot! Cactus Jack’s had a great sounding lunch menu, so we went there this afternoon. This 3-course lunch was a mere $15. Such a great deal!

1. Quesa-slider-dilla
2. Southwest Chicken & Rice Bowl
3. Key Lime Pie

If all goes well this week, I have 2 dinners out planned, and possibly another lunch. And that will pretty much be more dining out in one week than I normally do in an entire year. Still, I’m happy to do it to support Restaurant Week! I know if we want to continue seeing events planned like this we need to show our support to ensure it will continue in the future. Unlike Manchester Restaurant Week. That one pretty much disappeared, and I’m not sure what happened to it.

We went to the prettiest little place last night for dinner in Wilton...... the @hilltopcafenh. What a gem! For dinner service you can sit outdoors in the open air in their beautiful farmhouse "backyard" surrounded by the barn of Abbot Hill Creamery, lush shrubbery and a gorgeous mature maple tree. We sure did pick the right evening for our reservation because the weather was perfect and so incredibly comfortable.

Such an incredibly lovely rural place, and we are so lucky to have little country spots like this in NH.

My favorite thing we had was the Beer Battered Chile Relleno Popper for the appetizer. The fire-roasted poblano chile was large and amazingly delicious and stuffed with jalapeno cream cheese. The housemade salsa verde was loaded with cilantro and lime and was just so fresh and flavorful. Delicious! And no, we opted NOT to get the Abbot Hill cheeseboard. LOL. I`m sure it would have been great but my whole life is a cheeseboard and sometimes I just gotta take a break from cheese.

Hilltop Cafe only does dinner on Friday and Saturday evenings, and they do require reservations. They have a small number of tables, a small kitchen and a small staff. Enjoy this hidden gem on a lovely summer evening---believe it or not, summer is already over halfway done!

Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken...... it was like 93 degrees and yet I could not resist this hot dish even though we were eating outside. Wouldn`t it be smarter to just get a friggin salad? No. Call me crazy I guess. I`ve enjoyed this dish at @putnamswaterviewrestaurant for 20+ years now, always so good, and made to order with cream and romano cheese. The cheesy garlic bread slices just hit the spot!

The handcut onion rings at @putnamswaterviewrestaurant have always been epic. Lightly breaded and piled high, these will feed your whole group.
