We practically had the place to ourselves 5-6:30 on a Thursday— farmers market day in Exeter. Cannot understand why. It is a high end place, to be sure, but the food was delicious, the ambiance lovely, and the service top notch. Unique offerings for a vegetarian, and a US-focused wine list. Wish i lived closer to come more often.

    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.
