The Oar House - Portsmouth

Went here for New Years Eve Dinner tonight. Loved it! John our waiter couldnt have been better or funnier. The food was to die for as was the service. My family is fussy and there was an unexpected food allergy. John handled it with ease. It was so pretty and cozy. Cant wait to go back. Hated to leave. Cant recommend it enough. Its a hidden gem.

We had a fabulous lunch here in April. The staff was very friendly and helpful not only with food choices, but with directions for us out-of-towners. The food was excellent! I had the best gluten-free bread (toast) on a very tasty chicken salad sandwich. We loved the old buiding and appreciated the staff sharing some of its history. Wish we lived nearby so I could indulge often. Would love to go back.

Excellent Valentine's date. Brick chicken, crispy potatoes and garlic spinach was possibly the best chicken dish I've ever had, 5/5. Wife's Lobster Mac and Cheese pretty tasty too, I'd give it a 4/5. WARM tasty rolls to start. While there was a moderate upsell of alcohol (this is typical of all restaurants), no major push to have dessert. Waiter was prompt, and the whole team seemed casual and helpful. Thanks to offering Limelight deals, total meal was $50 (counting dinner, tax, tip and limelight)! Otherwise a bit pricy for my tastes, nothing unreasonable though. We'll definitely be back next Limelight deal!

First let's start with the atmosphere, quaint, rustic, Dave our server/bartender was amazing, he made suggestions, service was great, now the food--amazing!!!! We had the best night, music was phenomenal. We loved it here, we will be returning!!

Absolutely beautiful meal in a beautiful setting on Thursday night. Was staying in Hampton beach and the hotel recommended to take a drive to Portsmouth. Came across the Oar House after a little walk and was a great find. Our waiter was fantastic, the food was incredible and the Irish coffee to finish the meal off sent me on my merry way nicely. Thanks again
