    Food was excellent, especially lobster mac and cheese. We sat across from the kitchen, which was interesting to see, however the back room seemed nicer and probably quieter.

    The Cure sit on the corner and it looks rather small on the outside but the food is big on flavor. This was my second time going there and I was not disappointed. The staff is top knotch from their warm smiles to their knowledge of the menu. The prices are moderate but for really fresh and tasty food I cannot complain. The corn bread is in one word outstanding! The atmosphere inside is very warming for the soul. The cocktail's are very good but what stood out the most to me is the open kitchen concept watching the chefs prepare the food is always fun to watch but the best part of having sort of an open concept kitchen is when my wife and I and the friends we brought with us were getting ready to leave the kitchen staff thanked us and wished us a merry Christmas. Now that's the extra touch that makes this restaurant one of the best in Portsmouth NH.

    Such a lovely, cozy environment and exactly what you want for a date night. The food was outstanding, the best NY strip and crab cake I have had. The staff was pleasant and welcoming but not overbearing. We will return again and again. 10 out of 10.

    It was one of the best dinner experiences. My wife and I have ever had. From the service to the quality of the food and the ambience of the restaurant it is in our top five that we’ve ever been to.
