“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!“

“This is one my favorite spots in Portsmouth. They have onsite parking which is a determinant at times. I frequent here and have never been disappointed.. The menu changes with the seasons, which keeps the choices fresh and exciting. The craft cocktails are clever and delicious. Try the Cloister! Sometimes I stop in just for a drink and a snack, but I live getting a many courses and going all out. The agnolotti seems to be a constant, and it’s a must order every visit. During the winter months, my all time favorite is the cassoulet. This has one of the best flavor profiles I’ve ever tasted. I’m not kidding. Don’t forget to order the soufflé in advance for a delectable and interactive experience. Great service, food and atmosphere. You can’t go wrong here.“

“I went to Pink Hippo Cafe for the first time yesterday. I wasn't sure what to order but the batista helped me decide. she asked me to taste it before I paid for it to make sure it was right. when I tell you her customer service skills are off the charts, I mean 20 out 10, highly recommend!!! Good customer service is rare nowadays. I wish I lived closer, I would go everyday! She was kind, friendly and helpful.“

“Our dinner was over the top fantastic - the presentation, flavors, service, ambiance, entire setting far exceeded imagination. So amazing, decadent, lovely. We were so thrilled to get a reservation, and to have such a wonderful dining experience. Thank you Cava!!“

“Amazing place, awesome bartenders! Great speak easy bar!!“

“Great service, we were met with a smile at the door. Had a fabulous meal! One of our party has to eat gluten free due to her food allergy. The staff was knowledgeable and quick to answer any questions. Not only did I feel safe about no cross contamination, the gluten free food was fantastic! We had Appetizers, entrée and dessert. (The Gluten free Beignets were out of this world) Please make them a permanent item on the menu! Good portions, even left with boxes of leftovers. Highly recommend and can't wait to go back! Thank you, Jillian for a great experience. 😁😁😁“

“We love this place!!! The live music is awesome.“

“Architecture et design parfaits dans cette auberge élégante, chic et raffinée sur une île où absolument tout est beau et harmonieux. Les lits sont ultra-confortables et chaque chambre offre un intérieur spacieux et très élégant. À quelques pas de l'auberge, une superbe plage nous invite à la contemplation. Great Island Inn nous a offert des vacances de rêve, dans un lieu enchanteur et parfait à tout égard. C'est désormais notre rendez-vous annuel du mois de novembre. N'hésitez pas, réservez!“

“Great neighborhood bar run by great neighborhood people“

“Friendly staff, cozy atmosphere, great coffee. I love what the place stands for and I always feel welcome!“

“My daughter and I dined here and enjoyed it very much. The server was great, fun, polite and fast. Food was fab. We had the poutine, a unique and delicious take, and the beet salad. Drinks were strong. Very enjoyable dining experience. Will definitely be back and recommend.“

“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.“

“Fun atmosphere, fantastic service, the food leaves a lot to be desired, but you are probably not going here for the food, this is a great place for drinks and atmosphere.

The menu is a bit confusing but it’s nice you can make your own taco creations. I decided to go with the El Pastor bowl and some queso.

Not sure I would go back but if you are visiting Portsmouth looking for a fun place to hang out, I would recommend a visit.“

“We came to the restaurant after our elopement. The staff was extremely friendly and professional. The atmosphere was absolutely beautiful. The food was amazing. My children are extremely picky eaters and they each found something they loved. My 14-year-old said the wagyu beef meatballs were the best thing she's ever had. All of the food was absolutely delicious! We couldn't have had a better experience. Thank you to all the staff for such an exceptional experience on such a special day.“

“Just had a fabulous lunch at the M-Dubs! The food was incredible, as always, and the service was stellar. I’ve gotta give a shout out to our amazing server, Miss Carmen, who went above and beyond for our group. Appreciate you, Miss Carmen!!! Thanks for a great experience.“
