| - The Shiloh is exactly where you want to be after being in the snow preparing for a friend's 'biggest moment of his life.' After a memorable morning on Mount Washington's beautiful overlooks we shivered our way into the Shiloh for celebratory brunch.
Instantly, we were welcomed into a happy place filled with warmth, rich food, and great service. The fireplace was a necessity because we were frozen and I was glad to have a seat next to it. A round of mimosas came for us to toast to and while I am normally a welcoming fan to mimosas this one was a bit different. The juice was extremely tart, too tart for me. It left me with the post-teeth-brushing-teeth-and-then-drinking-OJ feeling.They normally don't have mimosa's on Saturdays so I can't complain (Thanks Shiloh!) but later a glass of champagne/sparking wine was perfect.
Food! Food! Food! One thing, even if you have an idea of what you want (burger, salad, sandwich, etc) READ THE MENU. Hilarity.
I opted for the arugula steak and blue cheese salad with a side of their popular mac and cheese. (yes, get the mac and cheese. Its creamy, and corkscrewy, and tasty.) I sampled the buffalo chicken dip and spinach dip that my friends ordered. Buffalo chicken dip was tasty but got salty with more and more tastes. Spinach dip was delicious and had a great amount of garlic in it. Definitely an indulgence worth repeating. I wish I had more than a salad but I just couldn't stomach it. Reviews for burgers tell me that they will be my go-to next time. The experience was great. The atmosphere was casual and definitely a place I can see myself revisiting!
