Went on a quiet Monday night when there was no reservation fee. Because of this, I would not pay a reservation fee on a Friday night. The service and food was great and I would recommend a slow night to check it out.

My family and I (6 in all) enjoyed an excellent dinner last night. We were celebrating my granddaughter's 21st, and they graciously provided a celebratory glass of Prosecco, and made a point of coming over to add his congradulations. Nothing but praise for the entire experience. That being said, one word of caution...parking is very difficult so if you don't know Portsmouth please give yourself some extra time and figure out how to get to a parking garage and walk to the restaurant. I was lucky and found a spot 50 feet from the front door....but my kids took 15 minutes to sort it out.

There are very few restaurants that give you first class service and great food. Clay Hill fits the bill. It is the romantic date night spot. It is also a spot to catch up with friends. In full disclosure our daughter had a beautiful reception at Clay Hill 10 years ago. The staff was wonderful, food and ambiance were perfect and everyone had a great time. I recommend Clay Hill Farm any chance I get!
