We both chose the seafood fettuccine, which was heavenly - incredible pasta and sauce topped with succulent seafood. Desserts were lavender creme brulee and white chocolate cake...Holy cow! Dinner and service were both top-notch.. and we can't wait to return!“

“We are here from out of town and stumbled upon this incredibly amazing spot! The seafood chowder is killer, THE BEST!!! Do yourself a favor stop in!“

“I work at the Moffatt-Ladd House across the street and have been meaning to come over and experience their menu, as we often have overlapping customers. Our host sat us right away, drinks were fabulous, and all the meals were absolutely amazing! (I had the caribbean grilled swordfish.) My mom had been here with her parents in college in the early 80s and clearly Casey is carrying the mantle well. Thank you especially to our server, Rachel!“

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

“Great view when sitting outside. The food was tasty but not to die for. My fries had good seasoning, but they were a tad cold. The crab cake sandwich had bacon on it and a great texture. Also, the waitress was friendly and prompt at serving us.“

“This place is exceptional. The cocktails are amazing. The food is perfectly spiced, with high quality ingredients and creative presentation. Every dish is outstanding. The service is perfect in every way, the decor is beautiful and the bathrooms are spotless. There is plenty of space between tables and booths. Absolute perfection, try it out and you won't be disappointed. This is not your average Thai restaurant. I thought for a second I was in NYC, it was that good.“

“Just a quick note from someone who never writes reviews. Sitting at The Beach Plum with my three kiddos and so impressed and grateful for the wonderful service we’ve received here. We had a tiny issue with one meal which was immediately acknowledged and fixed tenfold. Two members of the team checked on us several times after to make sure we were doing okay and then sent us home with an extra meal for later on the house. My kids learned a great lesson on wonderful and kind customer service and The Beach Plum will continue to be a favorite spot for us! Thank you!!“

“Was disappointed with the fish & chips.“

“Great food & even better service from our waitress we came here on a whim after a long day at the beach, they were so accommodating to a party of 10 with 4 small children I might add! I missed our waitresses name but she was rockstar honestly was great with children and went above and beyond would recommend to anyone looking for good seafood in the area!“

“Traveled out to Portsmouth from Wisconsin. Sick of seafood, best burger I have ever had on the east coast. Lots of tv’s to watch the games. Friendly people. Highly recommend you give it a try. Will try their lobster roll though before leaving. Had some delicious apple crisp for desert.“
