Since 1982, Buffalo Wild Wings® (or B-Dubs® as our friends call us) has been the ultimate place to watch the game, have a cold beer and eat some great food. At Buffalo Wild Wings, you can always feel comfortable pulling some tables together with your friends and staying as long as you want.

Such a lovely setting for a delicious and relaxing high tea! The inn was decorated beautifully, the seasonal menu hit all the right notes and the service was amazing. I highly recommend it and look forward to returning - maybe for one of the murder mystery nights!

We went for our 52 Anniversary and found the staff to be very welcoming and attentive! We particularly enjoyed that along with a celebratory champagne toast, they played one of the special songs from our wedding as well. We were very happy with this experience.

One of our favorite places in Ogunquit. Happened to be French Bistro Night (Tuesday), so I had a 3-course menu ($45/pp) including celery soup (really wonderful flavor), beef bourguignon (very flavorful with diced carrots, pearl onions, red wine reduction, and sides of mashed potatoes and mixed sliced vegetables. Last course: maple crepe (with whipped cream, maple syrup. My wife opted for the wild mushroom pappardelle, which also was terrific. Never a bad meal here and the service is excellent.

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.

    Such a beautiful date night experience. From the lighting, fireplace, servers, quality, taste, smell of food. Completely perfect visceral experience that I’d recommend to everyone. My wife and I love it here and the menu, pairings and overall ambiance are our favorite. Best place to eat in Portsmouth, hands down and such a beautiful date night locale.
