“Fantastic Food, outstanding service, great dining room.“

“The beef entrees were delicious. Was not as crazy about the Vodka Parm Chicken. The bread and garlic oil was amazing. The lemon cake finale was to die for. The surf and turf was amazing. The service as always was top notch! Our waitress was fantastic and Charlie was great. I would definitely come back again!“

“Kudos to the kitchen… best meal we’ve had in a long time!! Will be back soon!“

“My husband and I had the best experience tonight! The food was amazing. We started with the tuna appetizer and the cure wedge salad - so good! He had the filet and I had the short ribs - both were so tasty and cooked to perfection. Our server was super attentive and so personable! We’ll definitely be returning when we’re back in the area!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Comfort food meets fine dining. Great atmosphere, service was great. The food was amazing. Will definitely be back !!!“

“Absolutely one of the very best restaurants to be found anywhere. They're a 20 out of 10 and the kind of place that makes me wish I had more thumbs so I could give them more than two thumbs up! GREAT, attentive service, GREAT atmosphere and the food is Michelin Star worthy. Beyond wonderful!!!! It's truly a pleasure to dine with these folks and I recommend them to you enthusiastically and without reservation!“

“The food is out of this world good!!!!“

“A very pleasant choice for simple breakfast. Family run diner with lots of charm and personality. We had the pancakes and the Korean bbq Benedict. I wouldn’t have thought bulgolgi beef would go well with hollandaise - but I was wrong. Not fancy, but plenty friendly and worth the visit for breakfast!“

“We had lunch at Frisbee’s Wharf and it was delightful. The food, service, and view were amazing.“

“My wife and I went to Diverge for dinner and little bit ago. I had been looking for something out of our regular and I frequently check the reviews ahead of time. I had seen multiple posts about Diverge, so I pulled up their info, and I have to say, I also loved how the owner replied to reviews (especially the negatives). So, we decided to give it a go. I called ahead to see if reservations were required. They aren't, but they took my info, since I was already on the phone. When we arrived, it was just a short wait for the type of table we wanted (high-top vs low). It seemed pretty quiet for a Friday night. We ordered an appetizer of Pork Belly which was amazing and so tender. highly recommend. My wife got the Cod and I went with the NY strip, medium rare. My wife doesn't eat a lot at once, and after the app, she couldn't eat much of the Cod, but she loved it and was happy to finish it later at home. My steak was cooked to a perfect medium-rare and the scalloped potatoes were to die for! My wife doesn't generally enjoy potatoes, but she had a couple of bites of these. We made sure to let them know, too. The asparagus was also perfectly seasoned. I will admit, I'm a bit of a steak snob, and generally prefer my own home-cooked version. This one was well flavored and tender. It did come out a bit cooler than I'd like (might have waited a few for the piping hot potato), but when I mentioned it, they were more than accommodating. Also, there was a party of 12 whose order went in, and came out, just ahead of ours, so I'm quite certain that factored into the timing. It wasn't a big deal, and they handled it with grace. Against our norm, we decided to try the Chocolate cake with ganache and fresh strawberries for dessert. Again, my wife only had a few bites, and I'm diabetic so maybe it was silly of us to order, but it was also very tasty and quite rich. Even though we were sharing it, we brought about ½ of the cake home to finish later as well. Diverge is tucked away, behind Lexie's (one of our kids' favorite burger spots), enough so that you might not know it's there. We recommend giving Diverge a try and we'll be back! A side note dor those who like to plan ahead: like other businesses moving along the trend, their prices are cash prices and do have a small fee for cards to cover processing fees. It is plainly written on the menu, and we knew ahead of time, so there was no surprise. I'd say 4.5+ out of 5. Well done, Diverge!“

“The food and drinks were excellent, it’s a fun atmosphere and our waitress Cassie was wonderful.“

“A rare gem. Huge portions. The freshest of ingredients. Yes, they offer a Vegan special. Even better, the taste, very special. Within ten minutes, we had 4 different people check on how we were doing. We were in a rush to make the theater. They handled that very well too. A truly special place. You will leave with minds at ease and belly full.“

“We went to The Nook for the first time today and it was great! The food was wonderful but the staff was perhaps even better. Everyone was so friendly and accommodating, and it was a very welcoming atmosphere, even with two (often loud) toddlers. I was very impressed!“

“The cleanest hotel I have ever had!! perfect view, balcony and all. Premium feel, great value, mini fridge, premium coffee maker, water pot, compost and recycling, new linen, brand new towels and blankets. Receptionist was polite, staff were cordial and warming. Bathroom was phenomenal very well put together!!“

“Wonderful table facing the garden where we would watch the squirrels & chipmunks scurry food dropped from the birdfeeders. Live music played from the lobby, not too loud, but enough to enjoy and not disturb conversation. Food & service was excellent. Great value, especially for an upper level restaurant. We'll be back soon!“

“First visit and not the last Great culinary and wine pairing experience. Everything was right and delicious. I loved the kindness and humility of the chef and his team, as well as their real love for the products and willingness to share their passion. Bravo encore“

“Friendly staff, great desserts, awesome location.“

“Good service good food and good drinks❗️“

“First time going tonight and will definitely go back. Food was great. Huge portions and enough left over for another meal. Waitress was very friendly and helpful with answering our questions. Definitely recommend the Farm“

“My favorite haunt owners and bartenders are wonderful food and drinks are always fabulous 🥰“

“Excellent food and drinks! A fun spot to go for martinis. I've lived in the area for over 4 years and hadn't stepped in until last night. The pecan crusted chicken is SO TASTY. I would order that again in a heartbeat. We also had the buffalo chicken sandwich. The chicken was crispy and hot and the sweet potato fries were a nice accompaniment. They also brought out rolls with strawberry butter.

I tried 2 martinis, the grapefruit cosmo and the lemon drop (but I switched the blueberry vodka to raspberry vodka). Both were really good.

The place is split into 2 sections. The right side is the bar, which was packed and we weren't able to get a spot there. The dining room area to the left is a little bit quieter.“

“Made our way to Portsmouth NH last night, decided to Google restaurants near my current location- to find a spot to eat and ended up at Mojo's West End Tavern. Our experience was a 10/10. Every item we ordered was perfect, waiter was wonderful, atmosphere and music were inviting and they have a great menu! Do yourself a favor and just go and make sure you order some wings! You will not regret it!“

“Local’s has become one of my favorite places to eat on the seacoast! Wings are amazing, drinks are excellent, beer is cold and the pizza is out of this world. Don’t sleep on the salad because they have some real gems. Philly egg rolls are my favorite app too. The best quality is how friendly they are and it truly is a local vibe. I had my mother’s mercy meal there and everything was done with care and to perfection. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate her life. Definitely check them out sometime, you won’t be disappointed! Thank you Local’s for being a wonderful business in so many ways!“

“Went to a Christmas party here, it's beautiful. The staff is very nice and the food was great. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars, my only complaint, we were supposed to have dinner starting at 7, it was 830 before the salad came out and a little after 9 when dinner came.“

“Great place. Holy taps! Food & service was top notch. Family friendly- our kids loved it too 🙂“

“Always love the pulled pork sliders and amazing seasoned house fries…always fast great service with a smile!“

“Great service, we were met with a smile at the door. Had a fabulous meal! One of our party has to eat gluten free due to her food allergy. The staff was knowledgeable and quick to answer any questions. Not only did I feel safe about no cross contamination, the gluten free food was fantastic! We had Appetizers, entrée and dessert. (The Gluten free Beignets were out of this world) Please make them a permanent item on the menu! Good portions, even left with boxes of leftovers. Highly recommend and can't wait to go back! Thank you, Jillian for a great experience. 😁😁😁“

“Delish !! From start to finish everything was fabulous! From the amazing door that you walked through to the woodwork and the brick and the old Portsmouth feel The food was fabulous. It actually made my taste buds dance! If you are in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by. Staff is top-notch.“

“went there for lunch and my server kelly was on point and sweet as pie.“

“This was a great find. I really enjoyed the poutine and wings. Great service and beer selection. Parking is pretty limited in the area.

Parking: There was plenty of paid street parking on a Wednesday night, but it could be difficult on a busy night.“

“They do fried foods really well. We had the fried pickles, and they were sooo good! The onion rings were also wonderful. The burger was good, but not quite cooked enough. The older staff was fine, but not friendly. Tom is a shining star server- smiling, quick jokes, and just a great attitude. Strong drinks, large bar area, and a room with pool.“

“We arrive last night for drinks. A beautiful place. Very professional and organized. We had the meatballs as a starter. They were great. The music and atmosphere was above and beyond. Will definitely be back. Thank you.“

“Great atmosphere and service!“

“Love this Place Hidden Jewel. Free Valet Parking“
