For dinner I went to the opening night of Machina Kitchen Art and Bar on 9 Court Street in Keene, NH. The hours are Tuesday-Thursday from 5-9 pm and Friday and Saturday 5-10 pm. My good friend Jordan Scott is the chef there and I wanted to be there to support him and obviously to eat some very good food!
The decor is fantastic and the music is very catchy.
I was very impressed that I could get a mocktail that is very healthy for me! Arts Cure All consisted of Orange, Turmeric, Ginger and Mint. Very refreshing and I felt great after drinking it. {{more}}
I was treated to a very nice Amuse Bouche(which I was so excited to try that I neglected to get a picture!)
In any case onto the appetizer and the main entree! For my appetizer I had a hummus plate with beets ricotta poppy and flatbread.
For dinner I had Duck Cassoulet which consisted of Confit White Beans Sausage and Gremolata.
For dessert I had Affogato which is Expresso Gelato and Vanilla along with a nice coffee.
I have so many good words to say and it is all honest feedback too. Great atmosphere, great food and great service! One last note if I may. The dining room has a California feel and the bar has more of a New York feel! So cool!
Service: Excellent
Price: Good
Food: Amazing!
Overall analysis and recommendation: The best way I can describe it is that it has the feel of the perfect place to bring a significant other who you are more than just friends with! I predict that it will become a destination for folks near and far!
