19 Best Seafood Restaurants in Portsmouth

“oh wow... what a find! We were looking for a seafood restaurant when passing thru the area and the name caught our attention. We had an amazing dinner! 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!“

“Everything was amazing - went for my birthday dinner, requested and received a table by the window for 8 people, cocktails were fabulous - dirty martini, hot & dirty martinis amazing and Manhattan looked fantastic. Most of us ordered sushi, which was outstanding. Servers were outstanding, environment lively, we took our time and did not feel rushed, even on a Friday night. Thank you for an amazing night!“

“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!“

“Favorite Thai spot I’ve been to yet. I really appreciate how clean the food is and didn’t leave us feeling heavy and sluggish after. The flavor was amazing and the ambiance is nice for a dinner out with others.

“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.“

“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!!“

“We were very impressed the locals seemed to know each other and the staff knew them,despite that we felt comfortable welcomed waited on quickly the food was great. Looking forward to return than,s“

“Pricey but understandably so, I recently had dinner there after being gone for 8 years and was pleasantly surprised to see that the quality of the food was as good as ever. So nice to have great seafood again. Jeff and Jay and staff go above with the food and the service. Been in Florida for 12 years and I am not impressed with the seafood there. Yes it's seafood but no where compared to New England seafood.“

“Was disappointed with the fish & chips.“

“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.“

“The food is delicious, I have had the smash burger, the jambalaya and lasagna. The portions are big and the staff is so very friendly. I love going there.“

“We ate dinner at The Rooftop at The Envio, on Thursday, September 18th. Met your wonderful hostess, Deb. She was extremely friendly and sweet. Deb even wished my daughter a happy birthday. She was a breath of fresh air. ❤️“

“They have the best food and very generous portions. Chicken parmigiana is the very very best. Can’t wait to go again and have the steak and cheese“
