I love this place so much! The food is phenomenal, good portions, all tasty. The wines are incredible. The sommelier Justin is wonderful in knowledge of the wines and also for good company. The staff and waitresses are just as generous in suggesting what is good / what goes with what and refreshing your dinnerware throughout the meal. Great view of the bridge to Elliot/Kittery, somewhat of the park and the water. Highly recommend for a high end experience.

We're local, and have The Raleigh in our top restaurants in town. It's a special night when we go there. Service is great, and the food is even better.

A couple of well crafted wine flights. Daily fresh menu. Pasta dishes with homemade noodles, but portions are small and the truffle tagliatelle wasn't very flavorful. Highly recommend the crab toast, if they have it.

The food is fresh, thoughtful, and creative. The cocktail list is super and well done. The wine list is the best I’ve seen in Portsmouth. Several wines you’d never find by the glass: orange wines, Slovenian wines, NEW JERSEY. The staff is super knowledgeable and professional too. Can’t recommend enough.

Love this place. Don't miss the Hen Egg. Also, don't plan to share it if you want to stay friends. Interesting (in the good way) cocktails and wines, and the food is great!

Our dinner was to die for. Great location with a decent view. Excellent service. Very special spot.

So so good! My mother and I had a very good experience for dinner, the vibe was very casual yet elevated, and the service was incredible. We ended up having a couple of small plates and each a main course. I recommend the pouched hen egg for a starter and the cheese board for sharing pared with recommended wine. We didn’t have any wine but the cocktails were delicious and nothing like I’ve ever tried! Creative menu, and the dessert was amazing. Definitely going to come back to try their brunch.

Fantastic food and super friendly staff. Would highly recommend. We went for Easter brunch and was not disappointed at all.

Finally made our way in for brunch and were, unsurprisingly, pleased! Bloodys were spicy and flavorful, eggs were cooked to perfection, menu was to die for.

The poached hen egg is truly one of the best things you’ll put in your mouth in this town.The food at Raleigh is exceptionally good. Small menu delivers on everything - fresh, delicious, and perfectly prepared. I’m not much of a wine person, but can vouch for the cocktails which are excellent.The ambiance is casual yet elevated. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable.Honestly not sure why this place isn’t packed every single night. Then again, I’m glad it’s not…

Tried Raleigh for the first time for their New Years Eve menu. The ambiance was nice and mellow, well decorated, and waitress was friendly. We made our selections via their 4 course offering, and I can safely say everything was so delicious- small portions though. Included a flute of champagne as well! Definitely would recommend as an occasionally unique dining experience, but be prepared to spend $160+ per person (for the new years special).
