I ordered an everything bagel, toasted with scallion cream creese and a lemonade. The lemonade tasted fresh and hit the spot.

A few of my friends ordered sandwiches and one got the mac & cheese, which was also good. The seating area was pleasant, and I believe there were also a few tables outside as well. They do have a restroom for customer use. Prices are reasonable and food is good - I'd go back!

I ordered a plan Popover for my Mom that came with a maple butter that Sand (took my order @ the register) told me that it was really good. My Mom enjoyed it. It was a good size & looked yummy! I also picked up a sugar cookie for myself that I carried around all day & due to the heat the frosting melted and my cookie got smushed but it was still pretty tasty. It was sweet but not too sweet. I'd love to go back for another one & eat it before I ruin it! LOL I also got a funfeti cupcake & found it to be very small & kinda dry. The frosting wasn't very sweet. I wouldn't get another cupcake as it's not worth the price ($3.46) or the taste. I used one of the unisex bathroom's while I was here which wasn't too bad for a busy MSD, but they had signs on the door that "bathrooms are for customers only" but I doubt they had any way to control the bathroom traffic. I still have $$$ left on my GC & will definitely be back to try something else & maybe even a popover! :-)

This was a quick stop in Portsmith on our road trip through Maine.

This is an incredibly popular spot in town for breakfast, so you definitely want to get on the virtual waitlist or make a resy ahead of time. We put our names and mobile number in for a party of two, and with an estimated 20-minute wait, we walked up the street to grab some popovers and a drink for the road later. We headed back within five minutes of receiving the "table ready" text, only to find our reservation had been removed from the system--likely a slight mobile network or system lag. Fortunately, the staff had us wait a few minutes and found us a table. Minor mix-up aside, the service was great, and our server was exceptionally attentive and on top of everything. The food and drinks were excellent, fresh, and well-seasoned. We ordered: - Lime and Cucumber Mocktail - Incredibly refreshing. - Avocado Toast - Flavorful and fresh. - Florentine Eggs Benedict - I customized it by adding savory chorizo, and it was spot on. The menu choices and options are excellent, but the unique ambiance might just be the best thing about the joint. It plays out like part 1950s diner and part 80s/90s nostalgia pop culture shuffle. The walls are fully collaged with vintage, nostalgic art, making it a highly unique and fun interior to look around while you dine. The vibe is exceptionally cool and the breakfast is delicious. I highly recommend checking it out when you're in Portsmouth!

A great selection of seafood apps, and a variety of meat options in the entree section (steak, chicken, lamb, short rib, duck) and a couple of vegetarian items. Something for everyone. It was a Tuesday night and pouring rain. We arrived without a reservation. It was very busy. The bar and restaurant were full. There were two side bar seats available which we happily took while we waited for a table. We had a delicious cosmo and a glass of prosecco while we waited. The server let us know our table was ready, and we did not need to settle our bar tab before going to the table. I love that! I find it inconvenient when restaurants ask people to do that. The server even took our sopping umbrellas and put them in the umbrella stand by the door for us. So nice! We tried 2 appetizers, the Caribbean Curry Mussels and the Seared Ahi Tuna. I can't decide which one I loved more. Both were fantastic. The broth the mussels were in was so flavorful, rich, salty, not spicy, coconut deliciousness. I wanted to eat it all like a soup. There was no bread served with the mussels to soak up the broth...which I would have loved, but not having it did save me some carbs. The seared tuna was absolute perfection. Very slightly seared and served with a well dressed seaweed salad and two sauces (coulis style ) a charred jalapeño aioli and a mango coulis. For dinner we shared the arugula salad with strawberries and goat cheese (although there was very little goat cheese) in a delicious poppy seed vinaigrette, and the miso Marinaded seared salmon with sticky rice and mango salsa. The salmon was fantastic...perfectly cooked, very flavorful, the sticky rice was so delicious and chewy, and the mango salsa added sweetness. I love that they split the salad into two dishes for us. I love when restaurants do this. It's a nice touch to acknowledge the server was listening the we intend to share, and to make it easier for us to do so. And we shared a bottle of Pinot Grigio. I will be back!
