A Restaurant Recommendation

by
Steve MacDonald

I’m publishing this off the typical schedule because it’s not the sort of content we usually share. While we can write about whatever we want, most of it is politics and culture. But I just had dinner here, and it was exceptional.

I took my wife to Ignite Bar and Grill/Hooked Seafood Restaurant on Hanover Street in Manchester. It might be one of the best meals out I have had in a while, and I am not hard to please.

I ordered the Asian Steak tips. My wife had the Haddock. Both were delicious.

We went early – easier to get a table, parking still sucked (there is a parking garage right there, but you know, not cheap – but the experience was excellent.

We eat dinner unreasonably early anyway, so it was no big deal to reserve a table for 4:30. You get to eat by 5:00 (I was driving around trying to avoid the parking garage, so that killed some time). And yes, I realize a lot of folks prefer 6 pm or later.

I eat again, later, almost every night, so don’t worry. I won’t be wasting away. It’s about portion size, and the portions were good. I brought some home to enjoy again – not long from now, actually – no, not midnight, I meant from now – when I’m writing this.

Enough about my dining habits, though we have decided to try a different restaurant every month, and Manchester could keep us busy for a while if that’s where we look.

If you have suggestions, please share them – anywhere near the greater Manchester Nashua area if you please.

And if you are looking for a place to try, we had a great experience at the Ignite Bar and Grill/Hooked Seafood Restaurant at 100 Hanover Street, Manchester.

They recommend reservations, especially around typical dinner hours.

I asked the waitress. She said they turn walk-ins away every night because there’s nowhere to put them.

And no, I was not paid to write this. I went there, and the food was terrific.
