- CNCharlesNHGreater Boston •3 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWent for the Sunday brunch, $35, worth the cost excellent buffet quality food lots of selection. I think our waitress wasn’t told we have been seated because I’ve been about six minutes before she showed up . To her credit, it was clear she was surprised to see us and apologized. she was very attentive and made sure we didn’t lack for anything while we were there. I certainly would return as it is a very good value for the quality of food you’re getting never mind the fact it’s all you care to eat.More infoThe FoundryPrice: Expensive• Contemporary French / American• Manchester•4.6

- LLauravipGreater Boston •4 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoWe’ve spent many Thanksgivings at the Hanover Street Chophouse and it never disappoints! The food and service are both excellent. They are, as well, always very accommodating with our advanced seating request regarding seating location/arrangement because of the need for one in our party to utilize her personal rolling walker as her chair, which is very much appreciated. Thank you!More infoHanover Street ChophousePrice: Expensive• Steak• Manchester•4.8
