Why not make a trip to downtown Concord and take care of some early holiday shopping...and stop at a great restaurant for lunch...I have had the opportunity recently to dine in this quaint sidewalk bistro for both lunch and dinner. The chef is great and what I like most is all the staff really work as a team in this place, whether you're greated by the manager, waitstaff or the chef himself you will be sure to have fantastic service.
Now for the food great sandwiches, (huge sandwiches), salads, seafood, and steaks. I've heard rumors that you won't find a better steak in the area I opted to try a seafood item instead the stuffed flounder and I was not disapointed. Don't leave without a slice of cheesecake either.
This place is great for groups the restaurant is quite large and there is a banquet room in the back for corporate lunches and events.
