Chef Lee Frank has created an environment that draws you in time and time again serving a tasting menu with the in season ingredients. His food will leave you satisfied and looking to book the next reservation on your car ride home.“

“A+ experience! First time coming here and was completely blown away by the atmosphere, staff, and delicious food (especially the bruschetta bites). Sea Dog Brewing had it all - including a comedy night and seats overlooking the river. Will come again.“

“Very clean, great staff, location and area. Room was excellent. Highly recommend.“

“Always excellent! Have been coming for 10+ years !“

“My husband took me here last night for our Aniversary. He knows I love duck. We were greeted at the door and sat us right away. Our waiter Andrew kept us content with making sure everything was fine with the appetizers drinks entrees and the dessert. The food was amazing. The duck was excellent and my husband's short ribs were delicious. I would definitely go back again. We went early and still made reservations which I suggest you make as I heard this place gets packed on the weekends.“

“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!“

“Easily some of the best food north of Boston! The best way to describe it is as elevated Latin-inspired comfort food. The head chef and owner, Elvis, is amazing! He always makes a point of spending time with all of his customers, sharing stories about his incredible food and making sure everyone feels welcome. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for good food, good vibes, and good company!“

“I moved here 11 years ago and my first of many wonderful meals at the Riverworks. I especially liked the beer battered chicken fingers. But something has changed in the batter and I had them last night, 3/17/25 and they're not as good. Please return to the other recipe. But you are a favorite restaurant. Suellen Leugers“

“The location in Stratham, NH, has been my “go to” several times a week since their opening. I live nearby, and can’t help but indulge in the convenience of the location, not only for the great food (top-notch menu and preparation), friendly atmosphere (regular patrons who easily come to feel like family), and a staff that has made me feel like this is my “home away from home”. Special shout out to John, the best, most efficient and attentive bartender that I’ve known in all my years of dining out. And, without a doubt, I must add that Jess is also most delightful in every way. The management, host staff, and endearing wait staff (you know who you are) have made every moment I’ve enjoyed at the 110 Grill in Stratham the best of times. What more can I say? Drop in, often! I recommend it. You won’t be disappointed!“

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

“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!“

“Stopped here on a recent Sunday afternoon for lunch. I was expecting average quality, but I was so wrong! The food was far better than my expectations. The French onion soup was outstanding. Everything we ordered - buffalo chicken wrap, burger, and Mac n cheese were so good! We will definitely be back!“

“The 401 is such a cozy atmosphere. Their food is top notch and their staff does not hover on you. Very enjoyable atmosphere.“

“Awesome dinners and cocktails for Pink Day!“

“Shout out to Joe tonight for the best grilled chicken ceaser salad ever!! It was delicious!!“

“Wonderful atmosphere with live music. We made a reservation but it wasn’t busy when we arrived. Service was excellent. Friendly staff who were very attentive. Food came out at a good pace. The Crispy calamari was just incredible. Our main entree was a melody of different seafood with linguine and a marinara sauce with a genuine spicy kick to it. No room for dessert unfortunately. We split the entree and they served it in two separate dishes. Overall an excellent experience.“
