“Great craft beer choices, good menu for pub food with about a dozen hotdogs creations... was there Thursday night for open mic, heard about 10 performers, really nice job! They transitioned really quick about 90 seconds between singers. Definitely going back!“
“The buffet is back!!! Super good food with all the variety you could ask for. American food, Asian cuisine, salad, sushi bar and desserts. Fresh and hot and delicious. Perfect for going out with friends or family with music playing and friendly service. I will be going back again and again.“
“Got a turkey club sandwich. Was very good and fresh ingredients. Fries were thick cut. Pickle slice was large. Staff was very friendly, especially seeing we arrived 45 min. before closing (internet had the wrong hours). They didn't rush us, we only knew the time because we heard other patrons say it. This is at a golf course so has that vibe. The tavern is behind the main building, which is for functions. When you park, looking at the building, walk to the left and around back. Took us a minute to find it because out was dark.“
“Great spot that my partner and I stumbled upon for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. Their local tap selection was incredible with something for everyone. We got the sprouts for an appetizer which was delivered quickly in a large portion (we dug in too fast to take pictures) and my only gripe is that they were browned and crispy on the outside but hard / slightly undercooked on the inside. My partner got the meatball sandwich and said it was easily the best meatball sandwich he's ever had. I got the Patrick Henry which was also delicious. The service was lightning fast, my pizza came literally 5 min after ordering. With so many interesting menu items, we will be certainly be returning on our future trips home from New Hampshire.“
“I'll start by saying that it was an unusual night. The evening after a late-March snowstorm. Raining cats and dogs. And to top it all off, the power went out for a bit while we were there. The food at Dantes is fantastic. First rate family style Italian, plus a lot of it is scratch made. I think all of the pasta on their menu is available handmade -- at least most of it -- for a small upcharge. It's well worth it. Highly recommended. They claim to use imported Italian tomatoes in their marinara. What does that mean, exactly? I don't know, but it's tasty. The waitstaff is friendly and engaged and they genuinely seem to love their jobs. That's a big plus. They took really good care of us. The portions are pretty epic. Only the teenagers managed to finish their meals. The rest of us took healthy boxes home. The only drawback I could see was that the regulars were pretty loud and kind of rude. The people at the table next to ours were chatting at the top of their lungs and swearing like sailors. They weren't even drinking! Also, they had two children in their party. I'd highly recommend Dantes. If you have children in your party and you don't want them exposed to loud cursing, I'd suggest mentioning that to the hostess. There did seem to be quieter areas of the restaurant than where we were seated.“
Brewery • $$
“Found this little brewery walking around downtown Portsmouth on a rainy day. We had popped into several boutiques to kill time and stay dry, so it was nice to stumble upon a nice watering hole to change things up!My boyfriend and I both got a flight and between the two of us we tried most of the beer on tap. Reasonably priced (I think $12 for 4 beer samples). They had a little of everything and all had a good flavor, there wasn't one that we didn't like. My boyfriend's favorite was the New England Gangsta (IPA) and mine was a sour... I'm the worst and forgot the name but it was a very mild and enjoyable sour that didn't leave you smacking your lips.We didn't try the food, but it all looked good from what was coming out around us. They have a "dog" side of the menu and a "cow" side... I feel like I'd be team hot "dog" if I did get food as those were best looking of all the food coming out!It was a cozy little place with some bar, table and cozy couch/chair seating. Small and intimate. The lady working was super nice and friendly, and checked on us enough but not to the point of annoyance. Loved the service and atmosphere a lot. If I was a local I would definitely frequent this watering hole! So if you are local, not sure what you're doing still reading this review... get your butt off the couch and go quench your thirst here!“
“Porter’s is under new ownership, so be sure to give it a fresh new try! We went on a Tuesday evening, about 1 week into their reopening. The restaurant was busy, and the atmosphere was approachable. We happened to be there on Karaoke night (whoops!) which made conversation a little distracting with all the entertainment. Everyone was having a good time, service was prompt and friendly, food was fresh and we had a great time! I recommend going if you’d like good pub fare. The menu had plenty of options without being overwhelming or limited. I thought the portions were generous for the price. Worth a visit!“
“Great atmosphere but more importantly excellent food. We ordered some wings, the beet salad, and a pizza. All basic items but nicely prepared. The wings were cooked perfectly with a nice char and house-made sauces. The salad was perfect and the pizza was the best I've had in some time. The cocktails were ample as well. We'll be back.“
“Absolutely fantastic old fashioned inn. We have booked rooms here for traveling performing artists and for wedding guests, both of whom we did not want to disappoint.Safety: Located in one of the safest communities in the country this complex has a full fire alarm and sprinkler systems. Fire and EMS services are full time professionals and only 3 minutes away.Food & drinks: Great food and beverage selection in either a formal dining room and the Tavern.“
“FURY's Public House: creates and gently cooks my favorite burger: BLUE CHEESE! I LOVE BLUE CHEESE. MAYTAG BLUE, ROQUEFORT, DANISH BLUE, SWEDISH BLUE, WISCONSIN BLUE, CASHEL BLUE, FRENCH BLUES, ALL OF THEM. ENGLISH STILTON. Have any of my readers out there ever enjoyed MAYTAG BLUE? This particular blue cheese is like eating silk - the fabric. Creamy, non-salty, not dry. But soft and lovely. So, easy to use. Very expensive, but so worth it. MAYTAG BLUE is hard to come by in New England, but oh my gosh. So, the Blue Cheese that Fury's used on my burger was NOT Maytag Blue, however the Blue they used was delightful. My burger was cooked to order. Not dry and overdone or RAW! But, just perfect, this is hard to come by these days! And then, they added the blue cheese. oh my goodness. So wonderful. They serve alcohol as well.“
“it's a shame anyone wouldn't give this place 5 stars. Especially with the overpriced restaurants nearby serving sub-par food. revamped menu is awesome food is fresh hot and flavorful. nice staff awesome atmosphere. you could spend like $20 at thirsty moose for a salad or come here and get a giant chicken parm dish for like $15. choice is yours!“
“I get my food for take out but the inside is great place to it. The food is delicious I have gotten the wraps chicken, Adana and kofte and the lamb kebab dinner all great. Wish they were open more though. I’d stop in for lunch every time I’m in the area. Great people too very friendly. The waitress is prob the most beautiful person I have ever meet. No joke.“
