Over all we really enjoyed our meals. The food was cooked perfectly and the flavors and portions were great. And the cocktails were really great. And maybe I'm just getting used to high prices, but the prices for the food served seemed really good, a great value. The only thing I would ding them on is that the service was really slow. It took about 40 minutes from the time we ordered for our entrees to arrive. And the restaurant was only about half full. Also our server forgot some things (like we asked 3 times for slice of orange for our Blue Moon). But he was super friendly and acknowledged the issues and apologized, so we will definitely go back.

Mother’s Day Brunch here was fantastic. Outstanding food, very similar to one we did at the Wentworth, but half the price. Staff was great, seatings were staggered so it didn’t feel crowded. Valet parking, nice setting, definitely recommend.

“White tablecloth” dining with a casual, friendly feel. The bartender iced our glasses for a wonderful cold beer. The lobster was cooked to order and delicious. The staff were very attentive and friendly.

Phenomenal dining experience with some of the best food we’ve had. The swordfish was the best I’ve ever had and the pork was outstanding. Great service, atmosphere, and value. Highly recommend.

This was just an overall phenomenal experience- from food, to waitress, to environment. My husband and I went for our 15th wedding anniversary dinner. The building itself is an incredibly well kept historical building with excellent ambiance. We ate in the lower level at a reserved table next to a fireplace. The lighting was gorgeous and the atmosphere comfortable. Our waitress knew the menu well and was able to recommend some of her favorites. The app, meals, drinks- outstanding! We had a fried chicken sandwich and the chicken veggie fry for dinner. Delicious and perfectly cooked. I can’t stress how fresh it was. Do yourself a favor and eat here. We will be back for sure!

    This is a lovely restaurant with fantastic service and exceptional cuisine. One of our favorite restaurants in Portsmouth. South of downtown with plenty of free parking. Wonderful for that special occasion where high end meets casual.
