    From RJ’s greeting to Julia and others’ splendid service…welcoming ambiance, great food. We had the pork pave, their great skinny fries, their delicious toasted almond drink, and oh by the way some super homemade ice cream (simple delicious vanilla for me). Don’t go too often!—we want to be able to get in from our home an hour away. 🙂

    The brunch was fantastic! Excellent selection of items: fresh fruits, crackers and cheese, vegetables with dips and hummus, breakfast items, lunch selections, pastries, make your own Bloody Mary bar, mimosas, and full bar. The jazz trio was also excellent with an upbeat selection of standards and modern tunes along with some original works. A great time in an amazing venue and worth every dollar.

    My wife and I went to celebrate our post anniversary glow in Portsmouth, and we ate at the Puddle Dock for the first time. We will be back! The food was outstanding (with special help in being guided to great options by our server). The service was outstanding, friendly, and helpful in every possible way. My wife was even complimented on her fleece by one of the staff. The menu choices are quite adventuresome for New Hampshire ... and they were all carried off very well. I would love to try the rest of the menu on other occasions. The wine list is decent for all but those who are used to only the best wines. Although the restaurant is fairly new (just open two or three years), the inside ambiance gives you a sense of old New England of the sort that is good to enjoy ... rather than off putting. I think it's worth a trip from the Boston area to eat at the Puddle Dock. Don't miss it ... or the bread pudding!

    We often meet at Atlantic Grill as a group for dinner and it is always an enjoyable experience that's why we keep coming back. I personally love the seafood chowder and the shrimp scampi I think they are the best on the Seacoast! I usually order an appetizer for us to share which is always good and makes the experience more fun! Our server last evening was Mel and she was great as are all the staff. We were seated near the fireplace which was so cozy on a chilly night. I recommend Atlantic Grill to everyone as a great seafood restaurant with great ambiance and well made food and drinks! See you soon!
