Outdoor seating was a great choice for lunch. Our server was friendly and helpful. My beet salad was fantastic! The lobster roll was a little wet and alot of celery. Cocktails were great! Good variety of menu items and gluten fee choices, too.

In town for a few nights so we decided to check this restaurant out because it was in an old bank. The atmosphere was really nice and the staff was great. The bread was delicious and the appetizer was to die for. I had the lobster and the scallops and it was the perfect match. The lobster is stuffed and then they melt butter over it to kick it up a little. Great place to dine for dinner and drinks.

We visited tonight for the first night of our honeymoon trip. We were each given a free glass of champaign! That was a great added personal touch. The food was phenomenal & the service was outstanding. We tried the calamari starter, swordfish entrée and lobster gnocchi. There wasn't one thing we could even begin to complain about. The portion sizes were big and I ended up bringing gnocchi home. We would visit again! We also had a long conversation with a staff member, Nick, after dinner. He told us of a sister restaurant in Newburyport, as we are heading that way. We plan on stopping in on his recommendation.

I like the new 🆕 location and I appreciate that they are maintaining the old New Hampshire National Bank 🏦. The inside looks great 👍! There is a bar 🍻 and you have a full view of the kitchen. According to an online haunted tour of Portsmouth, it's supposed to be "BOO!", Aaagh!, ..... haunted. Service was very good 👍! I had three servers and they all asked if I was enjoying my meal and dessert. I was able to relax and the WiFi was easy to access. My only issue was the food. The price to quantity ratio wasn't good. I ordered the Butternut Squash Ravioli and I was disappointed that half the plate 🍽️ was empty. The ravioli was okay but a bit bland. The complimentary bread with olive 🫒 oil for dipping was good. My dessert, 10 Layer Chocolate Zabaglione Cake was okay. Where was the mousse that was supposed to come with it? Coffee ☕ tasted good but was overpriced. I understand inflation is driving up prices, but, the Tuscan restaurant franchise has a problem with pricing in all of their restaurants. Update: August, 2023; I sat at the bar and tried the Roasted Chicken 🍗 with mashed potatoes and asparagus. Tiramisu for dessert. Very good! Service was slow but I was treated very well. Extra ⭐. This restaurant was very busy when I left. If you have a large group, I recommend a reservation.

As one might suspect, this “chophouse “ is lively! It’s not a romantic place to eat, but it’s a lot of fun. The food was excellent. Ordered the wagyu flat iron beef and the barrel cut filet mignon. Both done to perfection. It was simply outstanding! The caesar salad was somewhat disappointing because it was overdressed and not traditional in flavor, but it was easy to forget about that slight. The bread was delicious!

Pretty setting, table size to small to handle all needed dishes and glassware. It was a Sunday afternoon so the restaurant was not so busy. I think if crowded there would be little elbow room and intimacy between tables, just don't like how close they were. The calamari was excellent, nice light batter. The fish sandwich had a hard rubbery batter and had a distinctive fishy taste which leads me to think it was not that fresh, would not order that item again. Music was kind of loud. Bathrooms were immaculate.

I had the steak & eggs and they spoiled me by making them Benedict like I was craving. Awesome service by our awesome waiter. Thank you for making my bday lunch super fun. 😁

Quality of the food and atmosphere were great. Drink specials were great. The service was attentive. My issue preventing 5 stars is for the price the serving sizes were very very small if we had not gotten appetizers we would have left still hungry. Wish I’d taken pictures of the food

This was a great meal for the value. The meatball appetizer was wonderful. Jane's burger was honestly larger then the bun. Over a inch thick. My pasta dish was good, great would have been better. The cooks didn't try the rigatoni they made. Not enough egg so you can taste the flour. I will go back.

Came here for our anniversary this past weekend and what an excellent dinner, from the friendliness of our waitress (thanks Tess!) to the quality of the food. I ordered the 12oz wagyu cooked medium rare and it was perfect. Husband ordered the filet mignon and his was also cooked perfectly. Can’t wait to come back!

Food was 5 stars. Grill plate and the truffle tag pasta was incredible (add sausage to the pasta you won't regret it). Our waitress was good and talkative. However they didn't fill my water. Other than that was excellent.
