Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Concord

Always fresh and made to dietary specifications. Love the atmosphere because it’s not so noisy that you can actually have conversation.

The ambience and service was outstanding, We have been coming to the Capital Grill for many years and it has always been a most delicious and exceptional dining experience!

Consistently good food with good sized portions. The beet salad and wedge salad were particularly generous and delicious. We were there on a busy night and though my partner wanted a glass of wine when his dinner came, our server never came back till half our meal was consumed. He ended up foregoing his wine. The restaurant was festively decorated and the noise level where we were seated, was fine. Seemed loud in other areas but it was a busy night. All in all, we’ll be back again soon.

Went to black & blue on Christmas Eve…and WOW. Neither of us had ever been but the menu looked incredible so we made a res. When we turned the corner past the host desk, our jaws dropped. It’s absolutely stunning in there!! From the bar to the tables, the ambient lighting. I was already sold. We were sat in a more secluded area rather than the large dining room area which was so cozy and good for conversation. Our server(s), Kelvin & Iverson, were so sweet. Kelvin noticed our coats kind of folded next to us and offered to check them for us which was such a nice addition to the upscale vibe of the restaurant. Now the FOOOOD. We started with the tuna tartare which was so much larger of a portion than I personally expected! It had a ton of flavor - loaded with a bit of vinaigrette, pickled ginger, seaweed salad, avocado, and topped with sesame seeds. For dinner, I got the salmon entree which came with maple glazed Brussels sprouts and a celery soubise that was sweet and tangy. The salmon filet was cooked perfectly with a crispy outside and went so great with the sides it came with. My dinner guest got the 10oz filet mignon which is ala carte - we went for the shareable sides of mashed potatoes and brown butter asparagus! The filet came out sizzling on a metal platter that was placed on top of the wood plank that was brought out before hand. He had ordered it medium-rare and it came out GORGEOUS. Perfect. It was SO tender and so tasty even without an additional sauce that they offer. We were in heaven, pairing our meals with a cold Hendricks martini (me) and a glass of Tuscan red blend (him)! We were there celebrating his Christmas Eve Birthday, so they brought us out a complimentary slice of chocolate cake with a candle in it. We split a second glass of that red blend to go with the richness of the chocolate cake as a little night cap which was perfect. Thank you, again, to the staff of black & blue in Burlington for the incredible hospitality from start to finish!

Amazing ambiance in the old town of Concord. Food was impeccable along with an attentive staff. Exquisite!
