An investment of several million dollars has transformed the former Terrace Restaurant at the historic Exeter Inn into Epoch Restaurant and Bar with Executive Chef Stephen Harding. Harding, whose most recent local assignment was at Wentworth by the Sea, plans to combine an outstanding selection of wines, his sophisticated preparation of local produce, game and seafood, and a fresh, intimate Ralph Lauren-type décor (warm, hues of red, patterned wood floors, a view overlooking the courtyard at the Exeter Inn) to produce a new era in Seacoast dining. At the center of it all is a cozy bar, framed by the bins and cubes of a large enclosed wine cabinet (Epoch will feature more than 100 wines, many available by the glass), and set into what was once the lobby of the Inn. The bar at the Epoch is a perfect spot to gather with friends, savor a Cosmo or a fresh Mojito, taste new wines …..and savor the cuisine.

“Epoch offers guests the ambiance and culinary sophistication of a New York restaurant at reasonable New Hampshire prices,” said Harding. “Our menus will often change daily, to allow our kitchen team to create from the freshest ingredients obtained directly from local fishermen and growers. Signature items like Corn Encrusted Lobster-Crab Cakes, Fennel Seared Chilean Sea Bass or our succulent Hoisin Grilled Nieman Farms Pork Chop should appeal to nearly any palate.”

	Epoch My husband and I recently had the pleasure of eating at Epoch at the Exeter Inn. The artistic presentation of the food was exquisite - it looked like each meal was made for a picture in a magazine. I had the duck with orange sauce and my husband had the filet mignon. They not only looked too nice to eat, but the duck melted in my mouth and my husband said his was the same. We don't get out that often with the economy, so when we do it is so nice to feel pampered and treated specially - that is just how we felt at Epoch. It was almost like we had gone to LA for dinner. Please keep up the great work. We will be back again and we will tell all our friends - my next plan is to try your Tomahawk Veal with the Butternut Squash Puree = ymmmmm. Guest Report
