“Arriving we were met with friendly smiling hosts. We were offered inside or out but decided we didn’t need to wait for out when we could sit in the lounge which was basically open air (the wall opens onto the deck). Beautiful view of the river and tugs. Our waitress Mikayla (sp?) was super sweet and attentive. We never waited for a drink refill or to order more food. She was knowledgeable about the menu both food and drink. The food was amazing. Highly recommend the fish and chips and we ate our weight in oysters. Ten out of ten recommend ✌🏻❤️“

“Jill is the best!! Never fire her!! And make sure she gets a rise!! Jill was our server and she was amazing!! The food was GREAT, I got the fisherman’s platter and shared it with my friend and it was still enough for a meal!! If you are ever in Portsmouth you had better come here!! Without Surf Portsmouth New Hampshire couldn’t survive!! Also, it’s smart to get a reservation before going!! We came off the road and they still got us in under 5 minutes!“

“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!“

“Beautiful resort with great amenities. They clean your room twice a day and the staff is friendly . The dining area is just perfect that serves breakfast lunch and dinner . Definitely the place to stay if your visiting York . I loved it .“

“There haddock is the best. No one can beat their onion rings!! I have been coming to Ceals since I was a kid. The quality is outstanding.“

“Wonderful old-school, Old-Maine place - "Lobsters in the Rough" like we used to have. Ambience - totally relaxed, right on the water. Food - Menu has good variety, the lobsters come in daily, cooked just right. The view across the river to Portsmouth is like no other, plus the river traffic and bridge openings, lobster boats, big ships, tugs, you name it. River breezes tend to keep things a little cooler. I'll be back.“

“great food at reasonable prices. excellent service.“

“We had lunch at Frisbee’s Wharf and it was delightful. The food, service, and view were amazing.“

“Fresh lobsters right off the boat and the sweetest steamers. Friendly, welcoming service. I highly recommend stopping in here. There are picnic tables to sit and watch the boats come into the harbor as well.“

“Dockside is one of my favorite wedding venues to photograph! I've shot many weddings there and I've loved every one of them. The staff is top notch, the grounds are beautiful, and view is unmatched, and during your reception you'll probably be visited by a nosy great blue heron. He's popped up at most of the weddings I've shot there. There are so many wedding venues in Southern Maine, you probably can't do any better than Dockside.“

“good place to work company has a talent for gettimg amazing quality lobsters“

“Great clams. staff are attentive and friendly“

“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!!“

“Chauncey Creek is always excellent. Now that I live outside the US, I make sure to schedule my visits during the open season. The food (steamers and lobsters) was perfectly prepared and delicious. Even the sides (coleslaw, corn on the cob and onion rings) were amazing. The setting on Chauncey Creek, with a view toward Portsmouth Harbor really adds to to the ambience. And the stars are all super welcoming, efficient and friendly. This is our go-to destination for exceptional seafood in a classic, rustic setting.“

“Excellent food and drinks!“

“This is an amazing restaurant with incredible staff! Brenna was very helpful and kind to me. The food here is also good and the location is top notch! What a great view and the life of Hampton beach was exciting to watch from the deck while we ate our food. I would give 10 stars and highly recommend the Purple Urchin!“

“great location, great views but wasn't impressed with the food. I had a 3 ounce lobster roll for $20+, they wanted $55 for a 6 ounce.😱 there was more roll then lobster and the roll was over toasted. The Cole slaw was right out of a bag and blah. The only good part was the blueberry margarita, but I think I overheard the employee say it was only 5%. They didn't offer whole lobster.🫤 Go for the view, maybe order a burger or hot dog.“

“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 have been eating there for years. I went the other night because I was craving scallops. I got my usual scallops and tried to substitute o-rings for fries. The girl told me it wasn't allowed. No substitutions. I was willing to pay for the upgrade. No go. I live in the area and there are a lot of other options which I'll be trying.“

“We looked at a lot of different restaurant options for dinner. I’m so glad we decided on Old Ferry Landing!!!! The food was fantastic!!! Drinks were summery and unique 🧉🍹 The lobster bisque was the best I’ve ever had!!!! And there was a great amount of lobster meat in it. I tried a bite of my boyfriend’s clam chowder as well which was also delicious but the bisque was 🤤😍 We will definitely be back!!!! Our waitress was very attentive and so sweet!!! It was so nice to dine at a place that’s been around for 50 years. I hope Old Ferry Landing is around for 50 more!!! 🦞“

“I went in and ordered a clam plate the best I've had highly recommend the drinks are awesome the outside deck is great can't get any better than this.“

“totally not worth it the portions are not the same as they used to be the service stunk they gave me the wrong order and tried to say it was the same price when I went back I will never be back again and the quality of the food was gross my cat enjoyed the fish“

“My 10-year-old wanted to go for dinner and he asked the host if we could sit by the window. We were told no even though there were several tables open. Asked for a manager and the manager told us no that's not how they do it. We left“

“We can’t get enough of the amazing excellence of this establishment. I honestly can’t think of anything I don’t love about this place! I feel like VIP every time I dine here! From Kevin to Carlos to Dylan and all the beautiful staff here, it’s an experience to remember. We think they put crack cocaine in the chicken fingers they are so good! I am craving the clam chowda as I write this. Oh, and did I mention my favorite singer of all time? @lewisgoodwinmusic plays here night and day?The ocean view and breeze are not to shabby either. Please don’t take my word for it, come check it out!“

“Great food, great drinks and the staff was fantastic! we liked it so much the first night, we went back on the second!“

“Was disappointed with the fish & chips.“

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

“We stopped here for an early dinner and were very impressed with both the authentic flavours and friendly staff!! It’s a beautiful restaurant too. We loved the crab fried rice which was overflowing with large pieces of crab and also the lemongrass chicken was delicious!! We will be back any time we visit Portsmouth.“

“Michael was wonderful at the bar. Extremely knowledgeable and a fun person to talk to while he is mixing drinks and teaching others.“

“Had a great meal today of good sized portions of steamed clams and a lovely hard shell 1.5 lb cooked perfectly and cut to allow me to remove the shell pieces without the usual nutcracker Iand pick. Everything 6was served hot and timely given we were a busload of senior citizens. 5 stars today!!“

“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!“

“Amazing food, great service and beautiful restaurant! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
