Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Portsmouth

Great food , atmosphere and staff thank you we will come again

If there was a word better than I outstanding, I would use it here! Dinner last night was beyond delicious. I ordered the new chicken dish which was incredibly moist and flavorful. My husband ordered the sirloin with pomme frites.  Again, the steak was fork tender and the fries yummy. We closed the night off with a crème brûlée and glad we did! This restaurant never disappoints!

Went during restaurant week. Everything was exceptional. Appetizers we had were escargot and the one board.  The escargot was not overly oiled or smothered in garlic yielding, a pleasant taste. The contents of the one board were complementary. For entrées, the duck confit was cooked to perfection. The haddock ratatouille was superb. The fish was perfectly flaked and went well with the seasoning in the sauce. Desserts were equally as exceptional. We had a white slightly sweet wine recommended by Eric which paired well with both of our meals.

My wife and I went to celebrate our post anniversary glow in Portsmouth, and we ate at the Puddle Dock for the first time. We will be back! The food was outstanding (with special help in being guided to great options by our server). The service was outstanding, friendly, and helpful in every possible way. My wife was even complimented on her fleece by one of the staff. The menu choices are quite adventuresome for New Hampshire ... and they were all carried off very well. I would love to try the rest of the menu on other occasions. The wine list is decent for all but those who are used to only the best wines. Although the restaurant is fairly new (just open two or three years), the inside ambiance gives you a sense of old New England of the sort that is good to enjoy ... rather than off putting. I think it's worth a trip from the Boston area to eat at the Puddle Dock. Don't miss it ... or the bread pudding!

Took my 12 & 14yr old sons for their 1st visit. Our server, Ana, was fantastic. All the food was delicious. We will be back. Thank you for a great evening.
