    Excellent anniversary meal for the second year in a row. The cocktails are amazing. The duck pie with quince was delicious, as was the parsnip soup, and crispy skin chicken. The chocolate pudding is one of the best desserts ever. There was a kitchen mishap on the scotch egg, but the staff handled it graciously. Wonderful place for a special occasion.

    My family and I (6 in all) enjoyed an excellent dinner last night. We were celebrating my granddaughter's 21st, and they graciously provided a celebratory glass of Prosecco, and made a point of coming over to add his congradulations. Nothing but praise for the entire experience. That being said, one word of caution...parking is very difficult so if you don't know Portsmouth please give yourself some extra time and figure out how to get to a parking garage and walk to the restaurant. I was lucky and found a spot 50 feet from the front door....but my kids took 15 minutes to sort it out.

    The restaurant seemed to cater to an older crowd which wasn't bad since I am in my sixties. We were seated at a table that was very wet. When given a drink minute, there were no prices listed. When I asked the server, he didn't know how much they were and said they varied in price. The food was very good with large portions. The price was average-high being at the beach and in a resort hotel. The fisherman's platter was $28. Enjoyed the DJ and dancing in the rear of the restaurant starting at 8pm. All in all we had a good time and would go back.
