    This review is for the Cellar restaurant at York Harbor Inn. This pub is located on the lower level of the historic York Harbor Inn. Great atmosphere. The bar is reminiscent of an old wooden schooner. Some of the structure is from actual ship. The food is excellent and the staff are fantastic. We make sure we get up there every year for a relaxing for time for beverages and great food.

    My go to.... Parmesan Crusted Chicken Pesto

    Food and service is always amazing. The name matches the ambiance perfectly. Small bar area so if you prefer that over seating get there early!

    Food service and atmosphere all great. Celebrated my birthday with family (party of 8).

    Seafood chowder
    Michelle M.

    One of the better Margherita flatbreads I've had. Very tasty. However the seafood chowder wasn't that good--very bland and was served lukewarm. For $12 I could've done without it. I do appreciate the variety in menu, you could order a fancy meal (like what they serve upstairs in their main restaurant), or you could just order a burger. Fun vibe, the decor makes you feel like you're on a ship. A little dark inside so keep your flashlight handy... If it weren't for yelp I might've missed this place just driving by. They keep the door open but there's no huge "Cellar Pub" sign besides the writing above the door. It's very easy to miss. Not sure if this is how they want it since it is part of the York Harbor Inn but it would probably be smart to add a bigger sign to attract more customers that are passing by. Would go back for the flatbread!

    Casual place with good food and good service by Corey. Great Cheese Burger but the fries were just ok. We started off with delicious onion rings and I had a Caesar Salad which was just ok. My wife had the parmesan crusted chicken which she truly enjoyed. It was crowded so recommend making reservations. We went there on Saturday night so they had a one man band playing and he was good. I would recommend parking on the street because the parking lot behind the inn has no lights on a dirt parking lot. We would definitely go back.

    Kicking myself. Staying at the fabulous York Harbor Inn and my last night I decide to venture downstairs. What a beautiful, cozy, fun space. The bartender, Rocco- friendly and so much energy. I ordered a margarita flatbread. Sooooo much food and delicious. Very fun bar area. You won't be disappointed!

    This quaint pub is a fabulous find. We felt as if we were on a ship. The woodwork is gorgeous. The wait staff was attentive and service was speedy. The crab cakes were delicious and the seafood chowder was as well. The option to pay via Q code was icing on the cake. Great all around experience.

Well, I'm happy that they were because dinner here was SOOOO good! The bartender helped us choose a bottle of champagne to start. We shared everything. One of each of the deviled eggs each. The maple cranberry was interesting. The sour cream chive one was to die for! The ricotta gnocchi was elegant and fluffy. The sauce made it over the top. The ribs were good, but I'm a Midwest girl. They just don't compare to back home. The clam linguine was seasoned perfectly. It was quite filling. We ended with the Apple Olive Oil cake with maple ice cream. The cake itself was quite dense and dry. The ice cream helped. I would not order this dessert again. Service was quite SLOWWWW, and for no reason as they weren't very busy while we were there. There were long gaps between courses and then once we were finished we kind of just sat there for a while. The food was worth it but something is not running efficiently and could be improved. Still giving 5 starts because it was so good and everyone was welcoming.

So I looked them up and saw the adult happy meal on the menu and knew I had to try them. An hour and half drive was 100000% worth it!!! The entire building is small but feels very inviting and comfortable. The atmosphere is iconic with out of this world 90s cartoons painted on the walls. Even the bathroom had a touch of this nostalgia and whimsy (trust me look in the bathroom mirror for an amazing little touch). The staff were equally amazing and truly wonderful. I am currently pregnant and being very careful about what I eat so my husband asked the bartender/waiter if the feta is pasteurized. Most people would have simply said I don't know and moved on but this fellow went and asked the kitchen if the feta is pasteurized (it is). It's little things like that that make us want to go back. Now on to the star the food and drink! We had the soft pretzel which comes with beer cheese and stone ground honey mustard and the fried feta. The pretzel was great and the beer cheese was also great but the feta was indescribable. Every aspect of the feta was perfect and a true umami experience. I got the adult happy meal (a smash burger, chicken nuggets, and fries). It also comes with a toy which is just cherry on top status. The burger was fantastic BUT the fries and nuggets were crazy good. My husband got Flo's Double Burger and he had eaten half of it before I got mine out of the box. He would have eaten two of them if he wasn't so full! He also got the I gotta say... today was a good day sour ale. He loved it and enjoyed it enough we left with a four pack! This is the perfect Maine hidden gem and we will be back soon!

    Many thanks to Yelp for helping us locate a fabulous place for our last evening in Portsmouth…read morebefore heading back to California. I love the vibe. It's pretty chill and classy at the same time. Our server dazzled us with his smile. We had a cocktail that we enjoyed very much. The mushroom melange on the grilled baguette was to die for.

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!
