Molly's appears to be a place where a lot of Dartmouth people hang out. It does seem like a spot that would be attractive to the sports crowd at a university. There are TVs and what looks like a nice bar. I was there for lunch and at the table behind me, a professor was taking one of her students out to talk about the coming academic year.
I shouldn't have ordered the fried calamari but I was thrilled by the idea that they would be like a dish that I had recently enjoyed at another restaurant. Unfortunately, these were the bar food type calamari rings that were heavily breaded and fried. Although they claimed that they would be "lightly breaded," there was nothing light about this meal. Sauce wasn't that great either. Not something to write home about but probably OK if you're at a bar and you don't care what you eat.
But, Molly's came through at the end with the entree that I ordered: the lobster pizza. With real lobster too! This dish is a bit pricey but they have a nice lunch deal so it wasn't that bad. The pizza is topped with tomatoes, scallions and a bunch of cheeses (cheddar, fontina, gorgonzola, parmesan, and mozzarella). I thought the cheese blend was very good as was the lobster and scallion pairing.I really shouldn't have ordered the calamari because I was already feeling full by the time the pizza arrived.
