Always a trusted spot for a creative and tasty menu. White wine was nice and cold, burger was ideal, and the fries are the best in the area. Scallops got big thumbs up and the turkey smash burger exceeded expectation. Server was A+

    Very cute/cozy restaurant. Got a salad/app, main entrees, and desert. Thought the portions were good. Service was good as well. The only issue was they would open the door occasionally and it would get cold. Besides that it was a very good experience.

    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.

    Food and ambience is great. The only slight complaint I have is that our wait staff didn’t tell us that there were specials that night especially after I heard from the other table’s staff wait staff which we would have really ordered because they sounded really good. Our orders were excellent so it made up for the slight. Cocktails were superb!!
