Reviews for Stalk in Dover, NH
My absolute favorite place to eat in the entire Seacoast. I’ve been to a lot of restaurants and Stalk has an unparalleled... ability to put together food combinations that you wouldn’t think of but end up tasting amazing. Every dish I’ve had isbetter than good it’s outstanding. Read more
Fantastic!! Tried Stalk for the first time last night, beautiful atmosphere, friendly waitstaff and the food was some of the... best I’ve had in a long time! We started with the heirloom tomato and grilled peach special (which was magical) and the duckconfit manicotti, then had the steak tips, the shrimp, the halibut (outstanding, but it’s what I ordered so I’m biased) andeverything was flawless! The flavors were complex, unexpected, and perfectly balanced…really can’t say enough great thingsabout this delightful restaurant! Read more

We popped in because we’d be dying to try Stalk and it did not disappoint! We had the PEI mussels, which were amazing in... themselves, and the pork belly morsels in the mussels took it to the next level. And I have no idea how they get the steamedbuns so fluffy but holy moly. I could eat way too many of them. Our server went out of her way to indulge our curiosity and findout which menu items were locally sourced (a lot of them) and she was so kind about it. Overall, the food is super fresh intaste and inventiveness, and the vibe is both modern and cozy. Can’t wait to come back! Read more
You know how everyone has that one restaurant they always return to time and again? Well, after spending quite a bit of time... dining our way around the seacoast, my wife and I returned to our spot Friday night. For us that spot is Stalk in Dover, NH. Onthis visit we sat at the bar. We ordered drinks and began looking over the menu. My wife ordered the Spring Fling. This drink ismade with vodka or gin(she chose vodka), lavender and Proseco. I asked to be surprised with a bourbon cocktail and was given aPaper Planes. This drink consists of bourbon, Amaro, Aperol and lemon juice(picture 1). This was a great drink that had some zipto it. Every time I do this, they always come through with something creative and satisfying. For our appetizer, we decided toshare their Stalk Caesar(picture2). This is made with a parmesan mousse, tarragon lavender dressing, and topped with shreddedparmesan. It was also served with toasted brioche. It was a really nice departure from your run of the mill Caesar Salad. Veryflavorful and not a bit of that "heavy dressing" taste. For her main course, my wife ordered the Hand Rolled Fettuccini. Thisdish was made with smoked corn cream, fresh basil, sundried tomato, and arugula. It was topped with sunflower seeds andparmesan. This was a very simplistic dish full of surprises that delighted the senses. The smoked corn and cream was a true showstopper. It added so much depth to the dish. The basil and sundried tomato was able to break through, adding their own footprintto the dish, rounding out its flavors. If the Fettuccini wasn't hand-made, it wouldn't have had the same impact. Believe me,great dishes are in the details. For my main course, I ordered the New England Baked Cod(picture 3). My dish was made withcharred cauliflower, sugar snap peas, farm kale, chive sage butter and almond romesco atop toasted orzo. The Cod was topped witha light house crumb. Once I placed my order, I asked to be paired with a great white wine. Instea Read more
We’ve come a couple of times and the food is always amazing. The menu changes every season so there’s always something new... and delicious to try. Most recently we sat outside which has heat lamps and is super comfortable Read more
Yum! Heard a lot of good reviews and friends who love this restaurant! Glad we finally had a chance to get in - the shrimp and... salmon entrees were devine, with excellent wine options! Worth the trip, and now one of our favs in Dover! Read more
Came just for a few drinks and some apps, all of which were excellent. I got the Lincoln cocktail which was delicious, my wife... got the bee's tea because she's the bee's knees. We got the potatoes, one of the steamed buns, and meatballs. The meatballs weresupposed to be my wife's but I dove in for more bites than I should have because they were so good. We will be back many times. Read more
