The Red Raven Restaurant & Catering

Normally I don't love outdoor seating because I hate getting hot, but their patio is really nice. The pond is a back backdrop with plenty of turtles of you looke closely. The menu is pretty simple but they do it well. Jalapeño bacon compound butter on steak is a take home for me the next time I'm cooking. Would definitely come back.

This was one of the best dining experiences I've ever had, and it's right in my back yard! The burgers are phenomenal, like next level type of deliciousness. Match that wonderful beef with a flight of IPAs and you're in for a treat! If possible, sit on the back deck and take a gander at all the wildlife in the pond. There is a GINORMOUS turtle that lives under the deck that likes fries. I named his Shelldon. He's cool.

Stumbled upon this place after a quick ski day and it was amazing! The wait staff was great and the food was delicious! Although it looks like a great place in the evening, the decor is great and comfy and the sun was shining right into the dining area! My 12 year old actually said not only was that a great burger but I could just hang out here....again, something we stumbled on and so glad we did!

The red raven is a hidden gem. In my opinion, it's the most under-appreciated spot in the area. I live right down the street, so it's easy for me to come here frequently. It's my favorite local place to eat and drink. They've got a great, varied selection of beer and cocktails, and every time I come I try out a different combination of food and drinks. Their menu is full of creative interpretations of comfortable pub food favorites. They have something for every palate whether it be for lunch or dinner. On weekdays when it's not crowded, you can walk in and just pick your own table. Even when it is crowded, they can almost always seat you immediately. The servers are both friendly and conversational. They are willing to talk to you, make recommendations, and even fulfill unconventional requests. For example, I once asked my waiter for some of the grounds they use to brew their coffee - and he returned with a bag of them for me. I had never before seen that kind of personalized service in my life. The music is good too, I swear they play the fallout soundtrack in here sometimes. Please give them a shot, I hope to see you in here.

Tucked away is the gem Red Raven with an inviting atmosphere, attentive staff and inclusive menu. Their bacon burger was juicy and filling, if the schnitzel didn't have the house spaetzle and capers on top it would have the signature crunch but still good overall, however the real shining star is the flourless chocolate cake. The decadent chocolate mousse drizzled with caramel and topped with whipped cream sets this restaurant apart for gluten free folks. I would definitely go back just for this dessert.

Came through here today after visiting Ft. Devens. I wish I knew of this place sooner. I had the flatbread wow such a flavor profile.

And the bartender Karen, is really a professional at her craft. She's personable friendly and a smile that lights up this hidden little gem.

Can't wait to come back this way.

The server guy made my evening wonderful. The food and drinks are very good!!!

Drinks were AMAZING!! Kudos to the bar tenders and the fun option of a Dealer’s Choice. The food was good, salmon could have used more glaze and app came out at same time as dinner. Not that the food was bad by any means, I just wasn’t ‘wooed’ with their food like I was their beverage. I also felt rushed to finish my meal and order as they were closing, even though we got there 3 hours before closing. But would go back again!

Our group of six decided to stop for a quick roadside bite after a day of hiking. We chose this place simply because it was the closest restaurant to us. But we were pleasantly surprised. The back yard space was quiet, serene, had beautiful tree shades, nice set up with a gentle breeze from the water. The red adirondack chairs under greenery provided soothing and perfect place for our tired feet. More importantly, the servers were all friendly and accommodating. We did not expect them to allow us to sit in the backyard with takeout orders but they did with welcoming smiles. It was a beautiful and satisfying final touch for our day of friendship reconnection.

Delicious and absolutely wonderful. We sat outside on the deck, next to the beautiful pond at night....it was lovely, and we felt very comfortable and safe during Covid with their setup and protocols. Waitress service was professional,courteous and on point. The food was amazing; we ordered the mouthwatering rib eye which was cooked to perfection as was the salmon entree. Drinks and dessert were perfect as well and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening. Highly recommend!

Loved the ambience of this place. The skewers with shrimp and kielbasa were delightful.

I have to say this is one of the best spots I've had in some time. Everything from food, to drinks to atmosphere is perfect. The outdoor patio on the pond is great. Our server Adam was great to have a conversation with. Cannot recommend this place enough. Even though it's 45 mins away from where I live, I will be back many more times.

Read the burgers were good so me and the girl went there to randomly one day so I wasn't expecting much and went about the normal routine of just getting some food in my stomach . I got a app to start and laughed when I tasted the fish tacos ,I don't know why I reacted that way but it was amazing ,and it took me by surprise ,so then was paying attention ,I also tried the sriracha shrimp app my girl ordered and once again it was amazing .Before I could finish the app the bacon burger I ordered came out along with her salmon burger ,She dove right in the hers while I was loving the tacos, She offered me a taste of hers and once again amazing then I started to pay attention to mine. I was disappointed with what I saw, Missing cheese , sauce ,looked plain and unassuming . So I finished my tacos, and then jumped into to the burger , and started laughing again right after the first bite . Burger was bursting with cheese and sauce stuffed inside the patty,perfectly cooked,flavors were spot on, soooo dam good. Gotta try this spot if you can.

The staff is amazing. My dad and I come here at least a few times a year, and it's one of our favorite local restaurants. You really can't go wrong with the menu, but I have a personal love for the fried goat cheese balls and the crispy brussels sprouts for appetizers.

Such a gorgeous place with phenomenal food and a friendly staff. Eat on the deck if you can. The turtles are worth it.

I have been here a bunch of times and been happy with the food and service. The most recent time we went we had a new waiter named Adam. He was by far the best waiter I have ever had at any restaurant. He was attentive and constantly stopping by the table to make sure we had enough food and drinks. He is an asset to the restaurant and we will continue to go back as long as he works there. The food and drinks were awesome as well.

I have never been disappointed with the food here. Just this past visit I got the Chefs choice burger not even knowing what it would be just for the surprise. It turned out it was a bacon blue cheeseburger and it was quite good. There was also a nice strawberry rhubarb sour beer on tap and it was delicious.

This is my favorite restaurant in the area. Unique, modern atmosphere. A great, rotating beer list and food menu. The bartenders should be referred to as mixologists because they’re flawless. I’ve never had a meal I didn’t like and I frequent there probably more than I should. Sit outside on the deck on a sunny day, order a dealer’s choice, and a basket of chips and you’ll be so happy. They also put on really well-planned functions.
