We tried the Tuesday French Bistro menu and it was outstanding, one of the best dining experiences we have had at Jonathan’s ( and we eat there regularly). Our server, Jesus G could not have been more helpful. Thanks for a great night!

We really enjoyed our meal at the Tiller. The staff was great and engaging. The meal was very good. The price is expensive. The view was great. We will definitely go back there in the future as we were staying at the resort and really enjoyed it there!

Enjoyed our time and meal at The Hurricane. They pour a nice drink and the meals were delicious. The Mediterranean Stew was superb, a wonderful Cranberry Bread Pudding ala mode topped the evening off.

We had a fabulous dinner yesterday at Earth. This was our second time here and I can confidently say this will be our new special occasion spot. Charlie was exceptional, professional yet warm and engaging. He treated us with great care and went out of his way to create a memorable meal. The pork belly course will be something I will be talking up for some time. Thank you again for a wonderful evening.

Charming Resturant inside the inn. Warm inviting tavern where we sat next to a cozy fireplace. Our dinners were delicious and prepared/presented with care. Definitely recommend this spot for a meal.

After two decades of going to the Hanover St Chop House it never disappoints. We recently dined there for our anniversary - the drinks,food, service and ambiance are tough to beat. Our waiter, Dave, was terrific- personable but not intrusive. I knew I was going to like him when he asked if my Ketel One extra dry martini with a twist was the right color… completely clear. I laughed because it was perfect and didn’t have a yellow hue like I have seen countless times from too much vermouth or olive juice. The Chop House knows how to make a good martini. With all the fancy flavored martinis now, too many bartenders and servers don’t know that an extra dry martini does not have extra extra dry vermouth 🙄. We eat carbs so we are always happy when there is bread ( in this case Parker house rolls and lavash- which were delicious). Our Caesar salad was fresh and big enough to share. If you like steak au poivre, I recommend getting it. They did a great job of getting a good peppercorn crust on the seared filet, and then having the delicious sauce. My husband would recommend the surf and turf of filet with lobster.We had no room for dessert but their selection sounded good. We have had them there before and thoroughly enjoyed them. I saw another reviewer comment on the restrooms. I agree, they are quite nice. Well, I actually have never been in the men’s room but the ladies room is worth the visit. It’s downstairs which is a very cool area. Someday I hope to have a function in one of the rooms down there. Looking forward to our next visit.

My friends and I had an excellent experience. The oysters, the lobster rolls, the fish tacos, salmon, and desserts were all outstanding. The drinks were incredible, and the service from Erin was exceptional. Row 34 will definitely be a stop as we pass through Portsmouth…
