Ordered the house specialty " Lobster Kristine. The lobster was advertised as 1-1/4 pounds. It was like two jumbo shrimp. So small. It's a ripoff. In town from Minnesota. Avoid it for food. Service was good. Ambiance was good to. read more

We have been to Surf before and enjoyed it but that was pre Covid. We had the clam chowder and it wasn't creamy it was more soupy and the flavor just wasn't there. I do not think adding carrots to clam chowder helps the flavor profile at all, rather it creates something completely different. The soup was ok, just ok. We had the fisherman's platter. I cannot say how disappointing it was. The fried clams tasted so bad, I could not eat them. The piece of fried fish was over cooked. The shrimp was good and the scallops were good. The tartar sauce did not taste like tartar sauce. Very mayonnaise but not much else! The atmosphere was nice and the service was superb. Sadly, with the prices they charge every bite should be great. We won't be rushing back or recommending Surf anytime soon. read more

I've only had one experience here and it was during the height of Covid. It was the first place we visited when we were finally "allowed out" and even then it was outdoor seating! But I gotta tell ya, I love outdoor seating. Our waitress was great and the food was perfect! Will definitely be going back now that things are "back to normal." read more

The food is amazing. The Korea bbq scallops are ridiculously good. The drinks are good and the service knowledgeable and friendly. Honestly one of the best meals I've had in a long time. The raw sampler was great and the blueberry pie desert hit the spot. I can't wait to go back and eat here again! read more

The girls name was Jana that was our waitress we had whole lobster a buttered seafood dish eight different entrées very very good. The owner is Michael Buckley.

Outside seating full but they gave us a nice window seat overlooking the River. Started with the calmari app. Good taste but rather small portion. My guest and I shared the tacos. Excellent and more than enough for two people. Server was very pleasant but had to be tracked down a couple of times for water refills. Otherwise, a good place for lunch. read more

SURF in Nashua was a wonderful experience. Hubby and I came in around 5pm (They don't take reservations unless it's a party of 6 or more), so it's first come first serve. The service was prompt and just overall great. The food was delicioussss. The place was PACKED 15-20 min after we sat down but we didn't wait long for our orders at all. We ordered cold Nigori Sake, espresso martinis for booze (yummmm!). For appetizers, we did the Lobster fries... picture poutine but with lobster. Ok I must admit... it was okayyyy... lobster and gravy together just tasted weird af. Not terrible. Just weird. I don't think I will order that again. The jalapeño and bacon wrapped scallops were to die for. And for entree we share the Portuguese seafood stew and a wicked tuna roll..... omg... full of wonderful flavors. Food was fresh, cooked just right, party in my mouth. I recommend Surf if you like seafood (I mean, this is New England cmon). read more

Good, original menu, both for food and drinks. The place is always packed and loud Be prepared to wait if showing up out of the blue. The only minor annoyance is the group of 5+ loud and obnoxious "regulars" who always lurch there and go out of their way to be recognized as "regulars" It's understood there isn't much to do in Nashua, but between the packed atmosphere and the "regulars" who want to insert themselves in everybody's conversation, it's a bit much. Prices are high, but the food is of good taste and quality. read more

Wow, I was blown away by Surf. And I just got back from 3 meals at Ocean Prime. The service and drinks were fantastic but the highlight was the incredible fresh seafood in interesting combinations. We enjoyed a delicious scallop tarte with asparagus and goat cheese, spicy shrimp with peanuts, edamame, scallops on a baguette, and the pot de creme. I also had sangria and a salted caramel martini. The best meal I've had in New England this year. read more

love all about it.but they don't serve octupus/urchins or seabass fish.give them a 4 stars.the hours should be also for lunch.great food.

Eight of is had a terrific meal Friday night. Our server was excellent. I a dozen oysters from 4 different sources. Served perfectly. And I also had their 'Salmon BLT'! Great sandwich! We had reservations which I'd highly recommend. Especially if your party is 4 or more. I expect we'll return! read more

Amazing service every time. I've been to this restaurant at least 10 times now and we keep coming back. Awesome drinks and staff. Their sushi is out of this world. Amazing flavors and the best Sushi we've ever had. We also love the small plates of pork buns and the beet and avacado poke. The flavors of the poke are out of this world. Such a cool and friendly environment. Great bar drinks lots of rotating specials to keep you coming back for more. It does get busy (a testament to how amazing it is) so make sure you plan accordingly on weekends. Biggest downside is I can't eat sushi anywhere else anymore, cause I compare it all to surf and nothing lives up to it. read more

Delightful dinner, drinks service and ambiance! I just spent over $200 for dinner for 2, no regrets. We sat at the bar and were never ignored. Excellent service. Drinks were better than average, albeit a bit pricey- I feel it's worth paying more for a really good drink. We started with the lobster poutine appetizer which was delicious. For dinner I had the lobster Kristina, delicious and a lot of food! Asparagus was cooked perfectly. I would trade the rice for just about any other side because it was thick and dry, but it did absorb the sauce well so it was ok. Just was the only thing not really good about the dish. I would've preferred some bread or toast points for the sauce. Hubby got the roasted haddock which was delish and served with lobster mashed. Huge chunks of lobster in that. Full of food, we opted for even MORE food, crème brûlée for dessert. It was a coconut custard and had pineapple on the side, thick crusty brûlée on top and holy cow! It was amazing! We went just after 4 when they opened and it was packed by 5. Go here for a special occasion or just because you deserve it. Life is short and this was 100% delicious and should be enjoyed! ( if you read my reviews you know I can be picky) I will be back and probably will try the other locations! read more

Excellent Seafood and fun atmosphere! I was on vacation and I desperately wanted a great meal. We had clam chowder, dynamite sushi and some scallops. I had mine with a mix of edamame, corn, peppers. My daughter chose just green beans. Both equally delicious! Truly felt well treated here. Will come again soon! BTW, my entire meal was about $150 so bring your big pocketbook! read more

I visited Surf last week for the first time while I was in Nashua for a work trip. It was a Tuesday night, so I didn't expect the restaurant to be too crowded, but to my surprise it was packed. We got lucky and a group of three of us were able to be seated almost immediately. Our waitress was really friendly and gave us good recommendations on what to order on the menu. The service was a little slow, and it took a long time for the food to actually come out, but could have been because they were just really busy that night. Surf is a seafood restaurant, so I was a little nervous on what options I'd have being a vegetarian. There weren't a ton of main dish options for me, but there was a sushi roll that I ended up really enjoying. It's all about quality over quantity in the end! I ordered the Warm Truffled Mushroom Maki Roll. I was really happy to see a veggie sushi option that wasn't the typical avocado or cucumber roll. This roll was a little more intricate and did include avocado and cucumber, but also sweet potato, cream cheese. I think what really made it delicious was the roasted mushroom and truffled mayo topping. read more

We went here for a family members retirement celebration. Do not get me wrong the food is okay, and solid. The service is done well. As a local New Englander, if you are going to be fancy with seafood you better really know your stuff. I also worked at Niccola's Trattoria in Keene, and the chef was from Calabria Italy, which is renowned for it's seafood, he used to be a lawyer over there but, not in the good ole USA. He retired, and the place changed hand, then names, the closed. I also worked for a CIA chef at the Chowder Room in Denver(also closed) I think we went back to King's seafood of CA. The food is good, highly edible, but for all the hype, and the higher price tag, I didn't find the food or dining room anything that stood out. It is very trendy, and if you are , and in the Nashua/MA jet set that wants to be seen, it is a good choice. I will say, the server handled the table very well, with it being a large party. I like to share stuff so I was able to try a few things. I ate some oysters, clam chowder, a couple bites of fried calamari, red dragon roll, and hot buttered lobster roll. I mean everything was good, but for 30$ I know a few way more epic lobster rolls, no I will not tell you where they are here. I hope I don't hurt anyones feelings with this 3 star review, but hey it looked like there was a wait to eat here the whole time we were there, so I think they have more than enough of their target market championing this place. On a side note none of these other lobster rolls I speak of are in Nashua? read more

Smells fishy. Atmosphere metsa mets. Went a few times and won't go back. Food is pretty good.

We wanted seafood and our friends who live in Merrimack suggested this Restaurant. We got to the place on a Saturday evening with friends. They take walk ins and only take reservations for parties of 6 or more. We were a party of 4. We had a wait to be seated, but not bad. We looked at the menu while waiting. They text you when your table is ready so that was convenient. The place was busy, loud & overly air conditioned and I was concerned it would be too cold, but we got placed in a back room which was not so cold and quieter so we could talk to each other. We met our server and he was friendly. He brought us waters & drinks. The men ordered clam chowder. It was luke warm. We told our server. He said he'd say something. Then it took what seemed like 20 minutes or more to get our entrees. They were on the warm/hot side. Thank goodness. My friends both got the Baked New England Seafood Trio & it was enjoyed thoroughly. Haddock, shrimp & scallops. My husband got the Lobster Kristina and wanted mashed potatoes and got rice. Our server got him a side of potatoes. The lobster tail was tiny. Like the size of a colossal shrimp. The asparagus was almost raw. Flavor of the dish was good. But it was $39. Crazy expensive for what he got and the quality. I had the fish & chips. Big piece of fish. Coleslaw smelled & seemed spoiled/rancid so I didn't eat it. Huge piece of fish, but small amont of tarter sauce made up mostly of mayonnaise. Did they try to make things right by discounting our meal? No. So will we eat here again? Probably not. Maybe it was too busy for them with the staff on hand. It's been tough to get help in these times I know. read more

Suggest one should double check your bank statement. I signed for a meal for 2 for $125 and my bank statement is $208. The night was super busy and our waitress did a great job at the table, food was "ok". I eat out a lot for my industry (in food industry) and most specially I'm in the seafood industry so I'm sort of more picky I admit up front. My meal was actually decadent. I had their "trio". The mussel appetizer was "ok", could have had more flavor and been warmer when it arrived. My wife's meal she did order off the menu because of an allergy to yeast. She did not enjoy her meal but could be the chefs not having a lot of ability to pivot to allergies? Biggest issue I have is I have been over charged almost $100 and can't reach anyone yet. Last effort will be to get in my car and go see them about a horse read more

My husband picked this restaurant for my birthday dinner. We arrived at 6:30 pm on a Saturday without a reservation. Although very busy, we only waited 15 minutes for a table. We were promptly greeted by our waiter and had our drinks on the table quickly. We ordered the Rhode Island style calamari and the oysters with brie and bacon as our appetizers... both were out of this world delicious! For our dinner, my husband had the fish and chips , I had the blackened fish tacos. The batter on his fish was light and crispy, the fish was flakey ( he said it was amoung the best he has ever had)! The fish tacos were so good that I forgot to take a picture (I was too busy enjoying them)! For dessert we had the key lime creme brulee. I highly recommend it. I also have to make special note of our waiter, Alex. He was friendly, attentive, and efficient. The restaurant was very busy , but he made us feel like we were VIPs with his excellent service. We will definitely come here again! read more

The food is great. The drinks are good but priced too high. The service is pleasant. The atmosphere is great. Over all it's a great date but the price is higher than the value.

Visited Nashua for a business trip and we wanted a great coastal seafood menu. We were not disappointed! The menu is extensive woth different options and seafood combinations if you want a little of this or that. We tried the lobster fries, which I can best describe as lobster poutine (for our Canadian friends) and it was amazing! The hot buttered lobster roll is what dreams are made of. I can't wait for the next trip to Nashua! read more

My wife and I stopped for dinner while out for a Friday night. Last time we had eaten at Surf was several years ago and wanted to recreate the good food and ambiance. Surprisingly, the decor has not been updated and the floor, table and fixtures are showing their age. We were told only a 15 minute wait which turned out to be 30, but I'm pretty sure the hostess forgot us until the manager asked who we were and, suddenly, a table was available (which had been empty since we arrived). Service was slow (15-20 minutes between drink order and delivery), and we were not presented with any specials for meals. Overall, the service was just a little "less". As an example, my wife had to request a different lemonade since the first had no sweetness at all. When she did, the waitress said they make them to order and would she like some syrup. One, "to order" means my wife should have been asked how she wanted the drink before she got it; and two, the waitress never checked if the second drink was satisfactory. Little things for sure, but if you want to be a high end restaurant, that's what you do right. We order the spring roll appetizer, the fisherman's platter(for me) and seafood spaghetti (for my wife). The food was fine (I've attached pictures), but expensive for the quality and quantity. Of note, the sauce served with the spring roll was supposed to be a satay sauce of some kind, but just tasted like brine. Overall, we were disappointed and will probably not return. The food was a three, but the service lowered the total rating to a two. read more

This is a very good place for seafood. The Surf is on main st so as you drive by , it looks like there wouldn't be much parking. If you decide it eat and want parking , drive towards the back of Surfs. There a parking garage. Okay, I've driven by this place a few times always looks packed and this was it driving by it again I had to stop and I'm glad we did! It's a nice atmosphere very busy the waitresses and bus boys are on point. We ordered 2 orders of chicken wings , 2 lobster rolls with butter.. they have options unreal they had me sold when I looked at the menu before actually going inside and ordered fish in chips. So, we ordered drinks -very good!!! All of a soused our waitress is walking toward us with the chef.. they both came to apologize they only had enough for 1 appetizer of chicken wings. Great place. We will be back soon. read more

The food is too unhealthy at this restaurant. A lot of the food starts health, but then made into unhealthy food. There is very little food items that are not a butter-fest, deep fried, lots of cheese, features bacon or covered in creamed sauces. I had the haddock a few months ago, where I asked for the same tasty dish to simply be made with olive oil instead of butter. It was bland as bland can be; no seasoning or anything on the fish or sides. At my recent visit I asked if the special could be made with olive oil instead of butter, but was told the entire dish was entrenched with butter and it was impossible to do that. This is a seafood restaurant with only one white fish (not shellfish), haddock. Not even codfish is offered. This restaurant is very popular, so I'm sure it's menu works very well for their target audience. I don't think this restaurant is for me. I like really delicious and tasty food that is healthy or healthy-ish. This is expensive, unhealthy food that gives the impression that it is healthy fine dining. Our server was very nice. read more

Pretty much everything you want in an upscale restaurant. We always have a great meal here, the waitstaff are attentive and really know their menus, normally we play it safe with the drinks but my wife wanted to step out of the box and ordered some cucumber vodka infused thing that was.. I don't wanna' say bad, I'll just say it's an acquired taste. As for our meals, they were a hit as always she had the seafood trio and I had the Lobster something or other, it was the bomb-diggity!! Always a great experience and great meal! read more

So I have heard so much about this restaurant and finally had the opportunity to check it out when my aunt and I decided to have a ladies night out. I must admit I was a bit underwhelmed by everything we had except for my jalapeno margarita which was delicious! For our first course, we ordered the Tomato mozzarella salad and the only thing I can say about it was it was just not good. There was so little mozzarella, it barely covered the tomato and the seasoning was subpar - I am not sure if that is how the salad is always brought out but it was just not appetizing in appearance nor in flavor. And then my meal, the Kristina, which my aunt had raved about was 'okay' - after it was brought out, my aunt mentioned that it looked a lot different than the last time she had it. Mine was brought out in a large bowl shaped plate with one high end so cutting the lobster and the asparagus was virtually impossible, I had to use my bread plate to cut my food and the jasmine rice didn't add much to the dish at all. Luckily my aunt had wasabi mashed potatoes so I was able to try those and I must admit it tasted a lot better with the potatoes - something they may want to consider changing. I think we ordered desserts as well but they were so underwhelming that I actually have no recollection of what we ordered. The food was okay and unfortunately the service the night we went (a Thursday night) was also unimpressive - not sure if our waitress had too many tables that night but she only checked on us twice and we were sitting there for almost two hours. My aunt loves this place so I may check it out again but for now I would prefer going elsewhere. read more
