Arguably the Best Restaurant in Portsmouth

by petesmith345

It had slide way down hill and then one of the waiters bought it. Now it is probably the best all around meal in Portsmouth. Brunch is incredible and actually a value!(meaning i expected it to be more) This is a cosmopolitan fine dinning restaurant. By far the most extensive menu in Portsmouth and like its name geared towards fish. They do not compromise on quality and it is evident in the food.

• Pros: Everything is great you cannot go wrong
• Cons: the bar is too small

Wonderful!

I was suprised to find that you can eat this well on the seacoast! Dinner was fantastic, I loved my entree (wild boar striploin!!) and was shocked to see a local restaurant trying creative fare and succeeding to this level. I dined here years ago and recently moved back to the Portsmouth area, the restaurant was much better than I'd remembered it. I found the staff delightful- knowledgeable but unobtrusive- competent, but without a snooty attitude. One of the aspects of my time at Pesce Blue that I appreciated the most was the overall feeling I got from the servers that all employees there were genuinely vested in my enjoyment of the experience. From the cockails to the desert, everything, down to the timing, was great. I look forward to returning soon before its too late in the season for the patio.

• Pros: great food- great ambience, great for date or group
• Cons: wouldnt take my kids

BEST RESTAURANT ON THE SEACOAST

by devon333

Fantastic Food, Wine, Service. Outshone anywhere I have dined in the area. The tuna tartare rivaled the best I've had (which incidentally was in a world class NYC restaraunt 5 years ago) and the Branzino was to die for. Classy but not pretentious, informative, friendly staff did not make me feel uncomfortable being casually dressed. By far the best restaraunt on the seacoast, you've got to try it.
