Best Bars And Lounges in Portsmouth

First time experience which was fun and they had good conversation games while you waited for your candle to dry.

We made reservations on line for Valentine’s Day less than a week before the 14th. I was very happy to get a reso at such late notice but noticed that it said we’d be dining outside. When I called they told me that it meant we could be sitting in the Venda deli where they would be setting up tables and serving the same food if there were no tables inside when I get there. When we arrived, the restaurant was packed. The hostess who was fantastic told us that we would have to wait about 20 mins. By the time I went to the bar and got drinks for us she came and got us to be seated in the main restaurant upstairs. I honestly don’t know how they were able to accommodate so many people, so efficiently. It obviously was not like a normal day but they did a great job working hard to please their customers. We were very impressed at how fast we got served and how pleasant the staff was in the midst of the very busy evening. Thank You!

I ordered the stuffed mushrooms. They were the smallest five stuffed mushrooms I’ve ever seen in my life definitely not worth the money.

My girlfriend and I had the best time at The Reef a special Valentine's Day. She loved it. From the minute we walked in and we were seated, buy a friendly and kind woman. To our server, Sam, who was friendly,professional, and knowledgeable. Sam made it a great night with his pleasant and happy attitude. We had baked oysters and scallops for appetizers. For the entrees, we had filet mignon and lobster ravioli, and for the fabulous desserts, we had chocolate lava cake with gelato and a twist on regular tarimisu they offered a strawberry champagne tarimisu. The awesome specialty drinks a raspberry lemon drop and delicious old-fashioned. Thank you to everyone behind the scenes at The Reef for an amazing night.

Our server Samantha was awesome!!! So genuinely personable and attentive, she made our dining experience truly exceptional. From the moment we sat down, she greeted us and made us feel welcomed. Not only were they efficient and on top of everything, but they also had a great sense of humor, making the evening even more enjoyable.. Thanks Samantha!
