Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Portsmouth

Overall good experience. The food was excellent but service was inconsistent. It seemed like there were not enough waiters.

My wife and I made a reservation after some research on the establishment. We expected this to be a very nice experience. We had no idea that our evening would be so special and memorable. We were seated on the second floor directly in front of the large fireplace. Our server was fantastic. He was courteous, prompt, attentive, and delightful to talk to. And then the food was served...... Wow! My complete compliments go to the chef. Absolutely delightful. Needless to say that if you are in the area, this is a must experience to believe stop. Yes, it may be a bit pricey, but completely worth every penny. Thank you to the entire staff of White Horse Tavern.

This is a great place to find good wine in all price ranges and with an experienced, knowledgeable wait staff. Our waiter knew how the food was prepared, how to pronounce it, and from what region it derived. He also answered our questions about the wine very well. The veal chop that my husband had was cooked perfectly and was delicious. I enjoyed every course, too. I would recommend this restaurant for those who care about good food and who might find the old house where this restaurant operates and its homey amenities charming. It's a bit tight up the staircase, and one gets the sense of eating in Nonna's dining room, but that makes it a culinary experience worth making the trip to lower Thames Street.

Best restaurant in all of RI! The staff are tremendous especially our waiter Dan. The prices are far less expensive for the same meal in Paris or NYC. They have amazing soufflés and fabulous cocktails like the French martini. Go asap you won’t regret it!

Our server Amanda was very friendly and accommodating. Our dinner on Christmas Eve was slow arriving from the kitchen, but fortunately there was a beautiful ambience to enjoy the evening with my man.
