Amazing food!! The gluten free options are so good!! Our waitress Naomi was great, attentive and social. Melissa’s also very attentive to all of her patrons. We tried the red snapper this time - it was perfectly cooked with beautiful presentation. Absolutely recommend this gem!!
Exceptional food. The brussel sprouts from the app menu are culinary genius, mixed with diced Granny Smith apples.
Our server was a brilliant conversationalist, who was as excited for Opening Day of baseball as I was.
Even the music was excellent!
My wife and I even enjoyed our leftovers later that evening.
This is a 'must experience' if you are ever in Manchester, NH.
If you are from Manchester? Well, I am jealous that you can enjoy XO on a regular basis.
All the stars.
The owner and the staff made our Valentine’s Day so special. After we expressed disappointment with our table, the owner went above and beyond and moved us to the main dining room. We had a delicious meal and wonderful service. They made my family feel special.

I had been in contact with XO about coming in to eat due to being unable to eat dairy and soy. They were incredibly responsive and helpful! Management contacted me immediately to tell me they could accomodate this and then as the date got closer, confirmed which meals I could eat. I had a garden risotto with a butcher steak and it was delicious! Not only did the manager meet us at the door, but the server immediately knew about my restrictions and was very helpful and friendly. I felt confident eating here, the food was great. My husband got the madeira chicken and loved it as well. They also altered the lamb lollipop appetizer so I could enjoy that as well. We will definitely be back, and cannot thank the staff enough for a great experience!
Amazing food and service! I am gluten free and vegan and they easily accommodated me without question 😍
Enjoyed our dinner Friday night immensely. The fig appetizer left us wanting more and my XO steak and yucca fries were delicious! The service and atmosphere were wonderful. Will definitely visit again!

Next time I would not sit across from the bar with server doing both area's get forgotten st times.
One of my favorite places to dine. I love that they have lots of gluten free meals.
Very god service, good food, live music.
We have been several times now and have always had a great meal and great service!
Nearly perfect bistro dining in Manchester - be sure and get the stuffed dates, and any of the other tapas that sound nice. We tried nearly all of them and they were fantastic. Impressive and gently priced wine list and truly exceptional service which is playful and warm rather than pretentious. Great mix of patrons too, it is clear that all are welcome here.
Great service, appetizers, drinks and entrees. The fra diavolo was excellent.
Brilliant!. I have never had anything there I did not like. My absolute favorite restaurant.
Excellent Foof and Service. We have many great experiences in New England related to excellent food and service including such places as the Cliff House, Wentworth by the Sea, Bedford Village Inn. The dinner we had at XO On Elm we rank at that same exceptional level. We started with stuffed dates, arancini, and short rib followed by sea bass and a bacon wrapped sirloin, and ended with a blueberry and peach crostata. We were so impressed we had to thank the chef in person. The server and the owner could not have been more pleasent. We highly recommend it.
Our lunch was delicious. Menu said "best gyro in the world" and it was certainly up there. The waiter was incredibly attentive. A pleasant surprise in downtown Manchester.
Top notch restaurant. Excellent food. Outstanding service. You dont have to drive to Boston anymore for quality food in an upscale, modern establishment.
Excellent, excellent, excellent!. We happened to go on probably one of their busiest nights of the year...Boston Pops in Manchester, A Christmas Carol, and some sort of Christmas party function for 50. We got there early and enjoyed great service from the bar. When our friends arrived, we were immediately seats and ordered entrees instead of tapas, all of which were delicious. Things appeared to be a bit hectic until the Pops crowd cleared out, but we took our time and thoroughly enjoyed the dinner. Matthew stopped by when things quieted down and was very kind to us (love the Limoncello!).

What's not to love?. I decided to try XO based on some good reviews here. This is a nice little place on one of the main drags in Manchester. There are about 10 tables and a small bar. The decor is very nice: wood, stone, clean lines, earthy colors, mood lighting. I was greeted at the door by Matthew who was friendly and enthusiastic and I was shown to a nice table by the window. It did take about 10 minutes for my server to come by, but after that the service was very good. I had a very nice glass of old vine zinfandel. A nice simple side salad with a good balsamic vinegarette. But the highlight was the braised beef ravioli. This was a little different from any ravioli dish I've ever had and it was very good. Several nice pillows of pasta filled with tasty filling in a rich, dark beefy gravy with mushrooms, onions, carrots and tender chunks of beef. It was good from the first bite to the last and very filling.
Several of the tapas and appetizer dishes also looked very interesting. I would give it 4/5 stars and I'd go back again!
It was really good!. I came in last night for a late dinner and I ordered the Spring Pasta and it was the best pasta dish I have ever had. It was fettuccine with mushrooms, spinach, pine nuts, prosciutto, with white truffle oil and Parmesan cheese. I am completely addicted! I love this place!!!! Well done!
Great food!!!. Came in with my husband and we had a great time, the staff was so responsive and nice! We were looking for a great new place to eat.. XO fit the bill, the food was spectacular and the drinks were huge. I had the Poached haddock and it was so good that I have been researching online how to poach haddock. Love, love, love this place. Finally another great restaurant in Manchester! Will recommend this place to all of my friends!
This modern, poshly decorated café has a lovely little sidewalk patio for those who fancy al fresco dining this time of year, but the sunny front room and trendy bar are just as welcoming climes for an internationally tinged feast. The complimentary tray of chewy, toothsome rolls and sweet orange butter doesn’t hurt, either.
Stuffed Dates (stuffed with cream cheese and chorizo wrapped in crispy pancetta), OFF THE HOOK, it is a must order.
