    We had a great experience! Onion soup, Duck, Short rib, and cheesecake all very delicious. The only disappointment was the small red wine list. We were hoping for a larger selection of high-end Italian red bottles. Overall, we had a wonderful experience.

    Dinner with an old friend that I had not seen in years. Found the restaurant on line (as I do not live in Portsmouth) and had done a bit of research. Very happy with the experience. My friend is a foodie and enjoyed the experience as well. Food is excellent. Cozy. Easy to talk. Highly recommend.

    Just the right amount of service, attentive without being intrusive. Food was spectacular. Swordfish over rosemary infused polenta; 1/2 rack of lamb with ricotta gnocchi and green beans. Cooked perfectly. Wonderful flavors.

    First time at Cure. Love at first bite. The lobster bisque and mussels would have been enough for lunch, especially with the grilled bread. But we continued and glad we did. One of us had the most delicious filet, done perfectly. We also enjoyed the crab cakes but probably wouldn’t get them next time. We finished by sharing a piece of cheesecake and rolled out the front door full and extremely happy.
