The iced espresso martini was a different way to have a espresso martini...it was good, but the real standout is their carrot juice-based mocktail--add Tito's and you've got an amazing cocktail. They also have a great happy hour. Definitely a spot I'd return to next time I'm in Portsmouth.

I went to the Press Room last night to watch my boyfriend's band play. Even though we (all the…read morebands and their people) arrived before the music venue was open the staff couldn't have been nicer or more attentive. Once we were finally ready to order food (our chaos, definitely NOT theirs!) it was DELICIOUS! I got the Brick Chicken and it was so good that I couldn't wait to be hungry again so I could eat more! The rest of my party all seemed to feel the same way! I wish I had gotten the bartender's name so I could give her a personal shout-out, she was fantastic! I will definitely be going back if I'm in the area!

Do not recommend. My mixed drink was not good or balanced at all, and a very rude staff who…read morewouldn't let me try to resolve a misunderstanding.

Botanic is such a hidden gem. My friend who is a long time customer took me here. The service is…read morefantastic, and I loved every gin drink I ordered. They have the classics to unique drinks - anything you want. The food was also amazing. The duck confit was cooked perfectly - very juicy and keeping its crispy skin. I felt like it needed something to cut the heaviness of the dish, but otherwise perfect. We also got the chocolate souffle for dessert and it was gone in an instant.

Kyrie was our server, she was great. The food was very good and reasonably priced, nice selection of drinks. I had the Envio Chowder to start, great flavor, my wife had the wings, they were really good. I had the short rib, it was really tasty and didn't even need a knife to cut it, it was so tender, it fell off with just a pull from the fork. Apparently, this is a hot spot with the locals, especially when the weather is nice, so I recommend making a reservation.

I love this place the staff always goes above and beyond. The food and view are spectacular as well.read more

The River House is one of many restaurants on Bow Street that sits just above Portsmouth harbor on…read morean elevated deck. Each of these restaurants serves their own deck punch, which is a must try. Each of these restaurants also has unbeatable views of the water from their decks. We ordered happy hour oysters, tuna bites, and shrimp, plus two deck punches. Each food item was $1.50, which is very affordable. They offer one kind of oyster for happy hour, which they told us would be on the sweeter side, but I found them to be briney, which I prefer anyways. They were fresh and delicious. The shrimp cocktail was plump and super fresh. The tuna bites were basically deconstructed tuna and were absolutely incredible for $1.50. The deck punches were slightly weak for my taste but still super nice to sip on the deck on a hot summer day.

I paid extra for these things too. I understand that things happen and sometimes an item gets forgotten but this was essentially EVERYTHING. We didn't take pictures of the tacos also didn't have any of these toppings either. It is ridiculous that we paid extra money for things we DIDN'T get.
