    View is wonderful right on water. Clam chowder and mussels with fries and burger delicious. Great waitress very attentive. We ate outside but inside is beautiful. Highly recommend!

    If you happen to want a burger, this place has just about THE best seasoned burger in town! The deck and views are awesome too.

    One of the best decks in Portsmouth. The inside bar is also nice.

    What not to get: margarita, lobster roll, tomato tartare, fried chicken sandwich. What to get: French fries were decent. Overpriced mediocrity with a view.

    I thought it would be good, but I was SOO wrong! Watered down margarita.. the tiniest crab cakes ever, & a waitress that cleared plates that still had good & left the empty ones..? Not going back
