We always come here for any special occasion. But today was Mother's Day so I wanted some steak and shrimp stir fry on the hibachi grill. The comedic show from the chef was really entertaining and the boys of course caught the flying vegetables in their mouths but I passed on that . Prices are on par with other habachi restaurants. We almost always get the steak because it is very good quality and cooked to order. My boys ordered the noodles and I ordered the rice . Both were excellent. Their lunch or dinner combo comes with a miso , mushroom soup that my son always wants another. The traditional Asian inspired salad comes with it as well. The chef seems to really want to please the parties and I like that. The many times we have dined here led us to becoming casual friends at the grill because you sit with 6 to 8 other guests. If you haven't tried hibachi, you really should . This restaurant is clean, comfortable, and the food is great. Prices are a little higher than a regular restaurant but it's so worth it. When I brought my sister here for her birthday all the servers came around and congratulated her. They put a balloon birthday hat on her head. If you need a little smile and you like stir fry custom made to your liking, come here. You will be happy you did.

Eight Square is the only place I can go enjoy spring rolls, Crab rangoons and chicken fingers without it making me sick. It's not all greasy and gross. The chicken fingers are sooo tender they melt in your mouth. The fried rice isn't overly fake flavored. The springs rolls aren't a rolled ball of grease. It's great quality and affordable. Go see Wendy at the bar. She makes a yummy Mai Thai and is always amazingly happy and friendly. Next time I promise to take more pics. The food was just too good, I ate most of it before thinking to capture pics.

There are many options for Sushi around, and we came for the Chinese food. The dining room is nice enough, and we had a pleasant waitress. We started with the Mai Tai's, as others here commented they were some of the best they have had. While good, we didn't think there was anything extraordinary about these. Nice flavor, potent and adorned with a fresh orchid. Admittedly, we've had many excellent Mai Tais in Hawaii and elsewhere, so.... For appetizers, we tried the egg rolls and pan fried Peking Dumplings. The dumplings were great, clearly made in house and not at all like the commercial dumplings served at many restaurants. The meat filling was flavorful and they were cooked perfectly. We also tried the Egg Rolls, which were OK, not much besides cabbage in the filling however. The winning entree was the Singapore style noodles which had a delicious curry flavor and a generous portion of chicken. We also tried the sizzling delight with beef, scallop and shrimp. Often this type of dish is assembled at the table, but here it is brought from the kitchen fully assembled, but sizzling nontheless. It was tasty, but nothing extraordinary here. We enjoyed dinner enough this first time that we will be back to work our way into the menu a bit deeper.

The crab rangoon dip was excellent. We had drinks that were very tasty and great. The lobster fries were very good (not great) but nice. We had a cottage salad. It was absolutely incredible with lots of low carb/high protein. We had a sushi roll that was just as great. We had to pass on dessert but having tried several in the last two visits, they are a no-brainer. We are giving Surf a 9.8 out of 10 ! Also, note, 3 visits were all similar experiences. Some of the prices are a little high (but all seafood is) BUT the service & flavor are sooo good and consistent, you have to try it.

I had the fish and chips, and was very impressed. The fish was soft and flaky, with a lighter batter that added crispiness without weighing everything down. The fries (chips?) were delicious, seasoned nicely and prepared the way I like. The dish definitely did justice to British pub fare. Service was excellent, everyone was friendly and competent. Even though we arrived about an hour before closing, they were still on their game. The restaurant has beautiful views out onto the water, but we were inside; the sister restaurant downstairs is probably the better option for outdoor seating and scenic views. But for seafood, Surf is a solid choice!

There is a special door for Nichinan on the side of the hotel where the side street is. We have been back a number of times since our first visit and the food is always delicious, fresh, and well prepared. Although the restaurant primarily serves sushi, there are a number of small plates and entrees where the protein is cooked. We absolutely LOVE their Karaage. The chicken is so juicy and the sauces and cucumber kimchi is delicious. It's a 10/10 dish! We have also tried the Oyakodon which is a chicken dish with caramelized onions and rice and the Spicy Crab Fried Rice, which is my absolute favorite dish. It is so flavorful, the portion is generous, and it is sure to be a favorite for the table. We have also tried a number of their sushi rolls including the Nichinan, the Sake, and the Maguro rolls. They are all so fresh and delicious. You will be thinking about this food long after you leave! The ambiance of the restaurant is more modern and sleek. It's perfect for a date night or as a way to celebrate something special. The service is amazing! If the menu is intimidating, they will take the time to help you and make recommendations. They will also explain to you that they recommend you place your entire order all at once and then the chef will send out food in the order that makes sense for the palate. These plates are all meant to be shared, which is great because you get to try it all!

And the for sushi I got the Boston Maki and Calamari roll. She got the shrimp tempura roll. The sushi was fantastic and it had us wanting more! If you're looking for a sushi spot (or ramen) in Portsmouth, I highly recommend coming here! Between the large menu, fantastic prices and creatives drinks, it's a great spot for lunch or dinner.

Cava is a very intimate dining experience with a warm comfortable indoor and outdoor seating option. It is also very practical as a stop before going to the Music Hall, an important date or like us an anniversary. Cava is unlike many of the places we have visited over the years in the food category.
