It was not that gooey cheese that you expect when you want some good Mac n cheese. I hope they work on that. The steak fries were LOADED! They had a great flavor and the fries were crispy BUT.... It was a lot of chewy fatty pieces in there that I had to spit out. The salmon egg rolls were DELICIOUS! The green beans were definitely made with love. The candied sweet potatoes were made with love and a pound of sugar so don't get that if you can't have sweets because it is VERY SWEET... but a bite of the yams with a bite of the cabbage was smack somebody delicious!!! The turkey wings fell off the bone. It was very good. The staff seemed to be okay but had a lot of their own conversations going on. The customers didn't seem like the priority.

Our waitress was bartending and waiting on multiple tables but her service to us never wavered. She was amazing Drinks: Refreshing and delicious. I got the lychee martini which was made perfectly. You can taste the vodka without it being too overpowering. Food: We got the happy hour appetizer lamb chops which were tender and yummy. For entrees I got the lobster ravioli and my husband got the sea bass. The lobster ravioli was good and they give you a lot of food. My only complaint was that the sauce overpowered the flavor of the lobster. Perhaps if they give less sauce then it would be better. My husband really enjoyed his sea bass and had no complaints. I went on my birthday so they gave us a free dessert. The tiramisu was light and not too sweet. The portion for the tiramisu was also huge so we got to take it home Overall I would love to go back again and try more of their happy hour or lady's night!

Tonight we had dinner with friends at Admiral's Steak & Seafood, located inside Rivers Casino in…read morethe heart of Portsmouth. This was our first visit, but based on the hospitality we experienced this evening, it certainly won't be our last. From the moment we arrived until the time we left, the entire evening was exceptional. Tonight's entertainment featured jazz vocalist Clarissa, whose beautiful voice immediately set the tone for the evening. While accompanying herself on the keyboard, she effortlessly managed her soundboard between songs, a small detail that reflected her professionalism and attention to detail. She was outstanding, and we thoroughly enjoyed her performance. While waiting for our friends to arrive, we grabbed a couple of seats at the bar. My wife ordered an Old Fashioned, prepared properly in a mixing glass before being poured over a single large cube of ice. It's always nice to see a classic cocktail treated with the respect it deserves. If you time your visit right, Admiral's also offers some excellent Happy Hour specials. Unfortunately, Happy Hour had just ended at 7:00 p.m., but we'll certainly keep that in mind for our next visit. Once our guests arrived, we were promptly escorted to our table near the stage where Clarissa was performing. The seats couldn't have been better. Considering the quality of the entertainment, I was genuinely surprised the restaurant wasn't filled with more patrons who appreciate great live music. Despite being located inside a busy casino, the dining room never felt rushed or chaotic. Service was relaxed, conversation was effortless, and Clarissa's music filled the room without ever overpowering it. It created an atmosphere that encouraged you to slow down and simply enjoy the evening. We began by sharing an order of the Savory Lollipop Lamb Chops, grilled to a perfect medium-rare and served with a creamy whole-grain mustard sauce. Everything about the dish worked beautifully together. In fact, one order wasn't enough, so we immediately ordered a second. We happily finished every bite. We also shared the Fantail Shrimp, featuring crispy shrimp served with Admiral's seafood sauce and traditional cocktail sauce. Another excellent appetizer. For dinner, several of us chose the Stuffed Maine Lobster Tail, served with blue crab meat, grilled asparagus, roasted garlic mashed potatoes, and béarnaise sauce. Oh my goodness... this was spectacular. Words fail me. I ordered the USDA Prime New York Strip, accompanied by a Loaded Baked Potato. Both arrived piping hot, perfectly prepared, and absolutely delicious. The steak had an excellent crust while remaining tender and flavorful throughout. As our meal came to an end, our wonderful server, Nikki, asked if we'd like to see the dessert menu. I sincerely hope she was joking, because after everything we'd eaten, there simply wasn't any room left. Next time, we'll have to save room. If you find yourself visiting Rivers Casino, make time for Admiral's Steak & Seafood. Excellent food, attentive service, outstanding live music, and a relaxing atmosphere combined to make this one of the most enjoyable dining experiences we've had in quite some time.

Inside is very well done - clearly recently updated and very modern. Music is pretty loud in there but I enjoyed it, my older parents had a little more issues hearing. Service - waiter was very nice and friendly, they have electronic ordering right tableside so if there is an issue or error can be a little difficult to fix! He did originally deliver the wrong food and even when questioned just changed what he called it but it was wrong. Kitchen showed they likely have a lot of new staff. Medium steak came out first and each meal was delivered individually and with a pretty significant time difference. Medium steak was basically rare in the middle, we didn't opt to send it back though we could have. It was seasoned really well! I had the party platter and everyone was really great! My mom also loved her salmon Caesar wrap and my dad liked his scallop basket. Price points were on par for everything but the steak dinner and most of us had left overs. There is for sure room for improvement on kitchen side and be prepared for the auto 20% gratuity after 5pm but overall they have a lot of potential! I hope they can work out the kinks!

The place inside is very cute and reminds me of a nice punk pop bar. The bar wraps around and there's some tables and a side table that we sat at to eat. I ordered one of their specialty coffees and it is quite the journey but I enjoyed it with the ginger beer and the coffee. My quiche was fluffy and delicious. It jiggled when I tapped it and the side salad tasted great with dill in it and it brightened up things. The combination of both was great. The crust on the quiche was nice as well. My spouse enjoyed their sandwich but didn't realize there was mustard so he ended up just using the chips to eat his egg and sausage. His egg was also fluffy. The patrons that came seemed friendly and you can tell who are locals since they greeted by name often. I love that this place is open. They also have local wine you can purchase. Next time we're back in town, we will visit again.

There were tons of appetizers to snack on throughout the night. Hummus and pita, charcuterie, chips with salsa and queso, all the good, crowd pleasing stuff done well. Everything was fresh and easy to grab, which worked perfectly for a party setting. The best part by far was the taco bar. I had the beef tacos and they were seriously some of the best tacos I've had in a while. The beef was super flavorful and cooked perfectly, and I definitely went back for more than one. You know it's good when everyone keeps circling back for seconds. Even though I was there for a private event, I really liked the vibe of the place. It feels like somewhere you could easily pop in with friends, grab a drink, and hang out without it feeling stuffy or rushed. I only had wine, so I haven't tried their cocktails yet, but that's definitely next on my list. If the food is any indication, I'm sure the drinks won't disappoint. This is a great spot for events, but also seems like a solid go-to for a laid-back night out. I'll definitely be back!
