19 Best Seafood Restaurants in Portsmouth

“We loved The Surf! Our server, Jake (from state farm) was charming, funny, and great at making menu recommendations. My lobster was to die for as well as my sushi roll. Everyone loved their food and our only regret is that we didn’t have time to go again while on our trip!“

“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!“

“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!“

“We had the shrimp chowder today and it was amazing! Never had a bad experience with this lovely gem! The service is great and the food is excellent.“

“We booked the private dining area and had a great experience. Service was great and we were not rushed at all. Food and drinks were good and the overall booking process with Zoey was easy and transparent.“

“great service amazing food“

“It’s been a ritual for me to get there at least once every summer since I moved away from the see coast.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“The fried scallops were excellent. Our waiter was very attentive and friendly. The location and view is great. The bar serves top notch drinks. It can get pretty busy in season, so I like visiting in the off-season best.

It's on the Sagamore Creek and right next door to a marina. Lots of boats and docks to look at from the outdoor dining area.

Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.“

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

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.

“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. ❤️“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“
