We had dinner on a Tuesday night, expecting a "Tuesday night" experience. It was our wedding anniversary and chose this restaurant because of their commitment to sustainability, which was perfect to reflect what an anniversary should be! What we found to be most sustainable was our waitress, Rebecca! We savored every course at our leisure and were the last table... More

Not worth the $$$...food lukewarm and just average fare..desserts disappointing. Walls of the restaurant needed a good cleaning.

There is something to say about the restaurants in Portsmouth NH they have great food and atmosphere. We enjoy coming here.

He was correct my Tri-Tip steak was cooked to perfection and the olive/garlic/olive oil app was excellent. The other person... More

The food here was incredible - creative and adventurous and the ingredients shine. We enjoyed every perfect bite - there were no missteps - that's not easy to do especially on a busy Saturday night.
