I went on a family visit to Hampton Beach and our dinner out for the trip was The Old Salt. I went…read morewith a party of 7. We had a reservation and we were greeted and seated promptly. Our drink orders were taken right away but after the drink orders service was a little slow. The waitress explained they were short staffed. I take no stars off for this. Short staff is a common issue including my place of business. Our waitress was very friendly and really good with the children in our party. I really liked the variety on the menu. There were affordable options with some higher priced dinners. There was an option for everyone in our party. I had the stuffed haddock covered with a seafood stew. I'm a little bit of a snob when it comes to seafood stuffing so I was a little hesitant to try it but OH BOY am I glad I did. The stuffing and stew were amazing! No leftovers for me. The rest of our party had various options off the menu and all of us were please with our meals. I highly recommend The Old Salt. A nice ambience. Friendly service. Great food. We'll be back on our next Hampton Beach vacation.

I can only imagine how packed this place gets during the summer. Anyways, service was great. Both bartenders were friendly and one offered a marker + tape so we could hang our dollar bill on the ceiling. As for the food... IMO it wasn't up to par with the Manchester location but still good. The nacho appetizer was disappointing as the pulled pork on top was lukewarm and there was hardly cheese/toppings under the top layer. My BLT and fiancés burger were both good. Fries perfectly crispy. This is probably one of the better (if not the best) place to have a meal at Hampton Beach.

Everything about this establishment is fantastic: the decor, dinner & flatware, presentation of food, and superior service.

Located at the sharp busy corner of Ocean Blvd and Ashworth Ave, Tideside Social Club opened…read morerecently offering a casual upscale dining atmosphere in Hampton Beach. At the time of this posting, TSSC is currently in their soft opening phase with different menus each day. They are open for dinner during the week and Saturdays and for brunch on Sundays. The place has a retractable garage door in front, offering seating up at the front full service bar and inside table seating too. There is also seating outside in front if you like to listen to loud motorcycles and vehicles with modified exhaust zoom by. Due to the soft opening phase, the brunch food menu selection was very limited to pancakes with NH maple syrup, steak & eggs, breakfast sandwich, and the lobster bennie, plus sides (crispy smashed home fries, bacon, fruit salad). The bar had a few draft beers, bottle beers, wine, seltzers, and brunch libations such as bloody marys Hampton ice tea, mimosa metro, the pearl and by the dunes. The pricing is moderate high. While I was at Hampton Beach on a hot sunny Sunday, I decided to stop by the Tideside Social Club for brunch since one of the chefs also operates the extremely popular and excellent Tuckaway Tavern & Butchery in Raymond. I took a seat up at the bar and it wasn't very busy around 11:30am. The bar was staffed with three bartenders and one was training the other two on how to operate the digital touchscreen POS. One of the bartenders took my drink order (I got water since it was hot outside) and a soft opening brunch menu. The group on the other side of the bar was really enjoying their brunch and mimosas and the smashed home fries and bacon were a hit. I went with the Lobster Bennie ($23 plus tax), which came out in about 12 minutes after ordering. The Lobster Bennie had two shortcake biscuits topped with chewy lobster tail meat, poached eggs and hollandaise sauce. This brunch dish was very filling to eat considering the biscuits were very dense and not sweet. Having lobster on a brunch dish was very fitting for the area. After I was done, I got the check which was $24.96 (cash)/$25.87 (card) with tax and before tip. Cash is king at most businesses in Hampton Beach. Overall, this new restaurant in Hampton Beach shows promise and I had no idea what was on their menu until I stopped in. Once a more permanent menu is launched and published online, I will be sure to stop in to try again.

Pretty nice beer menu with lots of local options, as well as some that are brewed in house. The menu was pub/comfort food, with some interesting large plates as well. Whenever I see a pretzel on the menu, I have to order. While it was good, it was not at all what I typically get in a bar. I was served 3 smallish, pale and crunchy pretzels with a trio of sauces. The sauces were all interesting, but I would have preferred a standard large brown soft pretzel. I did try the fish tacos which were tasty, albeit a bit small for the $7.50 cost per taco. They are served a la carte. The waitress at the bar handled the crowd very efficiently and food came from the kitchen promptly. This spot is a bit off my radar, but I likely will return to explore the menu further.

The Parker House rolls were savory warm perfection and a great way to start the meal. My entree, the gnocchi with duck confit was one of the best things I've ever tasted (though very rich--I had to bring half home). And I tasted my dining companion's duck breast an it was also delicious (which they concurred in thinking). The dessert special was a sticky toffee pudding with bananas foster ice cream and peanut butter magic shell and I wish I could eat it every day. The only downsides were that (1) I didn't love the dessert cocktail (which was also absent a garnish), but it could also very well be personal preference and it was only $7, (2) it was freaking freezing in the restaurant. We were seated in a corner that didn't seem to have any baseboard heaters, and even though we weren't far from the fireplace, there was so little insulation on the windows we were all egregiously uncomfortable. The service was great, with the waitress very helpfully answering all our questions and brining each course with perfect timing. The food itself is on the expensive side, though I thought the drinks were normal for a nice restaurant (my other drink, which I enjoyed, was $13). But for the quality of the food, it's hard to complain.

Another awesome find, thanks to Yelp…read more The food was fantastic. The octopus appetizer in particular was fantastic. I will hardly ever order octopus, because years ago in San Fran I had it in a place where the octopus appetizer wowed me. Ever since, I have been disappointed every time I tried it. But my SO wanted to try it here . Now I know another place that knows how to make it perfectly, Carriage House. Everything else was excellent too . We loved it so much we came back the next night at 4:30 in order to be first in line for a bar seat. Tables were fully booked that night. The decor is nothing to rave about, but there's nothing wrong with it either. And you can't beat the ocean view if you're lucky enough to get a seat near the front of the house. Anytime we're in the Portsmouth area. We will be sure to come back.
