Best Seafood Restaurants in Portsmouth

We had a great experience. Food presentation was beautiful! (But over salted) Service was a ten! We will return!

Enjoyed a delicious anniversary dinner last night at Byrd and Baldwin! It was our third time visiting and does not disappoint. We shared the crab cake appetizer and each had the fillet mignon. The crab cake had minimal filler (if any) and the steaks were tender and cooked perfectly. This is a go to place for a special evening out!

I want to thank Saltine for coming to the rescue after my Christmas was almost ruined! My stepdad took us to another place because his hairdresser recommended it, but when we discovered that it was a buffet, we noped it out of there. So, my mom asked me to find another place, and I stumbled upon Saltine. When I told my mom about the prime rib dinner (good lord, it’s delicious), she and my stepdad agreed to go. Good thing we picked this place because as soon as we pulled up to the Hilton, we were impressed! Luckily, the wait wasn’t too long and we were seated right away. Though, I felt sorry for the lobsters in the tank. Anyway, we got seated in a pretty comfortable booth/chair area and we had Destiny as our server (she was awesome). My mother and I went with her recommendation of the Christmas dinner and the she crab soup! The prime rib came out ridiculously fast and right behind the soup! I didn’t have to ask how I wanted it cooked because it was as if the chefs read my mind and knew that I wanted it medium rare. The potato puree, root veggies, au jus, and horseradish sauce complemented the prime slice of ambrosia on my plate. Oh! And the plum toffee pudding! It’s probably the best I’ve ever tasted! All of it was house made, the toffee tasted just like Golden Grahams without the weird preservatives, and it was so good that it deserves its own paragraph on here. That and the darkening of the restaurant was the crescendo of the wonderful evening! It went perfectly with the elegant and chic Christmas decorations! Saltine saved my Christmas and I want to thank them for it! I hope to make their prime rib dinner into a new Christmas tradition. Thank you so much, Saltine! Lots of chef’s kisses!

Very enjoyable Christmas Eve dinner with husband and friends... The atmosphere was inviting from our host and hostess as well as our excellent server Ashley. A very nice break from our traditional home meal for Christmas Eve/Day...

The staff was excellent. Shaq was our server, and he was attentive, fun, and his recommendations were excellent. The steaks were perfect, crab cakes delicious, okra perfectly fried, with huge jumbo shrimp and the creamiest Mac-N-Cheese EVER. We have recommended your restaurant to all our friends and co-workers.
