First off, food is INCREDIBLE! we started with the smokey old fashions. Our daughter had a Shirley temple. Apps were two bone marrow (one with oysters) and a baked brie. Holy cow they were all awesome.

I switched to the Willamette pinot. Meals were steak with fries (mouth watering, didn't need a knife), duck tacos (omg) and the pork belly (those Brussel sprouts with the pork danced together...I think it was the tango!)

Malcolm was our server and he was excellent and so knowledgeable! Definetly made our experience even better. Very attentive and amazing. The chef came and spoke with us and he was awesome.

Most of all I have to say that with my daughter in a wheelchair they could not have possibly been more accommodating. Beautiful staff, food, and drinks. It was just an overall event of an evening out. We left in a food coma and with our taste buds wanting more but our stomachs full. If you hesitated on this place - dont. Its incredible.

Normally this is a great restaurant . We come often and usually get good service and food . Tonight was a totally different experience . We ordered the bacon wrapped Tater tots and they came out overcooked and tasted off ( we order them often so we are familiar with them ) we were told there is a new chef , so they replaced the order and honestly they were worse the second time. I asked for them to just be removed from the bill . We told the waitress we wanted to order dessert after the entree . The entree came out and I felt like we were totally ignored from the waitress after we initially complained . I didn’t even have a knife for a rack of lamb , several waitresses walked by and stared while we tried to cut it with a butter knife , but no one got us a knife . After about 20 minutes we figured they were just never coming back. After they could tell we were mad , everyone was apologetic , but honestly I will never return .

It’s small portions and overpriced , but usually the service and atmosphere is so good it is totally worth it . But not anymore .

I really love the food and the atmosphere of this restaurant! One night I had an amazing waitress who went above and beyond and was welcoming. However, tonight, a waitress named Beau/Bo was ridiculously rude on multiple occasions. My father asked for a tequila as a replacement for the original beer he had ordered (that they no longer had in stock) and instead of fulfilling his wish, she very condescendingly opened the menu in front of his face and said, “well why don’t you take a look at the menu first.” He had already looked— that’s how he knew what he wanted. She only brought maybe 5 plates of food to our table, despite us ordering far more than that. We had multiple plates and drinks that didn’t make it to our table until we asked about them several times. These things could be excusable, based upon circumstance, sure. However, the finale of this evening was NOT. As we handed her the cash payment and told her to keep the change, she very RUDELY said, “only 13 dollars?? Really?” I mean DIRECTLY to us, not under her breath or anything. She aggressively confronted us about the amount. Mind you, she had no idea what we were planning to do and how we were going to add more cash to the table prior to leaving. We confirmed, “yes 13 dollars to begin with,” and she AGAIN questioned “that’s it?” Where does the audacity come from?!! I am not one to write posts like this but I was absolutely appalled by this behavior. It was my birthday celebration and quite frankly, her behavior and attitude at the end of the evening ruined my experience. I am no longer going to be so quick to recommend this place, as I would hate to expose my friends to such a rude individual who barely even waited on us.

Easily the best plates and drinks in Portsmouth. They've got creativity, variety, and ambiance on tap. One of my top favorite stops when entertaining out of town guests.

This was our second visit to this spot. We were as pleased this time as the first time. The food is delicious and the service first rate. I love the choice of plate sizes and the food choices is so varied. We will definitely go back for a third time.

Stopped by while staying in Chesapeake during Labor Day weekend bc of the reviews!

I think we stopped on an off night (Saturday) around 0830pm. It wasn’t that many folks seated at all and we walked in despite making a reservation.

We had to wait pretty long for our drinks around 20mins and then our tapas around 40mins from when we sat down. The food itself was tasty, like definitely good. But not worth entree prices for tapas, especially when entrees were $5 more.

The vibe was good - seems like a former speak easy.

Chef's kiss because everything was delicious and the experience was top notched. My husband and I had an amazing date night at Still. We enjoyed the atmosphere, service and food. I can't wait to go back.

Food was mostly good. Service was lacking. Our waitress walked by us multiple times and treated other tables with more respect. She didn't want to engage with us and rushed us. Not gonna say why. It was my best friends birthday and she was so disappointed.
