“Delightful restaurant in the historic district in Portsmouth! Very friendly, super attentive service! Zoe excellent wait person! American tapas; small bites meant to share. Fab beef sliders ? and super good and authentic Italian sausage mini sandwiches. Loved the crispy Brussel sprouts cooked in the style of Carciofi alla Roma! Both the mini Whoopie pies and cinnamon beignets were fab!! Great place with super convenient location. Parking is expensive in the whole area but plentiful. Great and super fun dinner!!!“
“This review is a little delayed as we ate their last summer but we had such a great meal that I when I came across their website while seeking dinner options I had to take pause and drop this 5 star review. Excellent meal and we enjoyed eating in the outdoor seating area!“
“My fiance and I visited the other day and just loved everything. First, they were great with accommodating my dairy allergy (french food uses a lot of dairy). I ate the Cassoulet. My fiance got the Coq au Vin and loved it. The meat fell off the bones and everything paired nicely with the bottle of wine we had.Our favorite thing was the cappuccino and chai lattes after dinner, though. They were amazing and we will be back!“
“A nice, relaxing restaurant environment inside a Sheraton hotel. A heads up... the menu on their official website did not match what's on their actual menu in the restaurant when we were there. My boyfriend and I had looked at the online menu prior to deciding what restaurant to go to in town and already decided what we wanted to try based off the menu information online. The server mentioned that the restaurant do not have most of the food items available from what was listed on their official website, but the menu on OpenTable was more accurate. However, I thought the choices from their in-house menu were still great options. Originally, my boyfriend ordered the diver scallops entree, but then was told a few minutes later that the kitchen was out of scallops. My boyfriend had to take more time to figure out what he wanted for an entree as he was slightly disappointed when his choices (from the online menu and scallops) were not available. Our server tried to be as accommodating as possible though by suggesting other seafood entrees that the kitchen can do that's not on the menu but had the ingredients. My boyfriend didn't want to deal with further complications so he ordered the fish and chips. The fish itself was a big portion. The batter was quite salty, but the fish was moist and cooked nicely. I had the mushroom gnocchi which had a great amount of mushrooms and spinach with the gnocchi. The gnocchi has a nice crisp on the outside with a pillowy softness inside. Flavorful dish! If you plan on going to this restaurant after seeing their menu options online, then be aware that it is possible the restaurant may not be offering the same options currently.“
“From the minute you walk into The Franklin you feel the warmth of the space. The servers are knowledgeable and friendly. We ate everything and it was flippin amazing - I took my sister and her husband here and his eyes lit up when he caught site of the selection of oysters! He still talks about The Franklin and makes me take him there every time they are in town.“
