So... ok. To go IN the restaurant, you have to be patted down by Security; this even to order items…read more"to-go." I've never encountered anything like this before, simply to get some food. "The Corner" could also be missed entirely, if you didn't know where you're going. It's VERY unassuming, especially as a restaurant. The entire inside is painted Black. There are no windows. There are secured "swings" to sit on, at the bar. I ordered the "Lemon Pepper" Lamb Chops, Macaroni & Cheese, and String Beans; to go. Lamb LOLLIPOP chops - Let's be clear... these are not "chops," they are LOLLIPOPS. The seasoning, was definitely on point. The flavor profile, albeit familiar, was definitely unique once the lamb flavor hit. I recommend. Macaroni & Cheese - I find NO FAULT; delicious. Cheesy. Tasty. I recommend. String beans - Canned. There was definitely some added seasoning. I didn't like it at all; my mother did though; she's 95, so... her opinion wins. "I recommend." Honestly... albeit the staff, even Security were really nice, this place isn't for everyone. It's unfortunate, really unfortunate, that their response to the reputation of "Portsmouth," forces them to have Security, "Pat you down," to order "Take-out." This for me personally, isn't an ideal dining experience; regardless how good the food is. Call. Order. Wait in your (locked) car. Pick-up to go would be my recommendation.

I have visited this location years ago when it was under a different name. I remember having a…read moregreat time, back in the day. So when I heard a new restaurant/club/lounge was opening up this year, I was super excited to check it out. It's been a little over a month now since this spot reopened under, The Corner. I heard good things about it, but people really praised the food here. My babe and I decided to give this place a try over the weekend. Upon entering the building, the parking lot was a mess. Not sure if it's the city's responsibility, but someone should at least take the time to beautify the parking lot. Already have one side eye... There is security checkpoints before you enter in... no issue here. The security staff was pleasant and hoped we'd have a good time. One guy even recommended we try the food. I was excited to try the lamb chops and mac... the pictures I viewed prior to coming looked amazing. It's dark, low lighting inside. Not much ventilation, but it was still inviting. We chose to sit at the bar since we arrived during happy hour... 5pm to 8pm. I am still unsure what happy hour consist of, because the young bartender that waited on us did not know a thing... this was a bit frustrating. We tried to make the best of this new experience, but it was a struggle. After several mishaps, I was ready to go. I did not get to taste the food, but we met another patron that shared with us it was only his second time visiting this place. He was actually there the night before and enjoyed the food, he returned the next day. He was nice enough to let me take a quick pic of his food that he highly recommends. I have high hopes that this place will deliver next time. I do not know if we picked an off evening, but the manager(s) tried to make our experience better, but I was beyond ready to go after being accused of saying my husbae had a certain drink and he did not... Nevertheless, prior to coming, I did check with friends and they highly recommended this place. So do not judge them based on my experience and myself I am willing to give them another attempt at a much later date. The parking is plentiful as the building is situated among other shops in a shopping center. Not sure if this place offers more room than meets the eye, but it's a bit tight inside. As a result, if the tightness/closeness does not bother you... check them out. Have fun and enjoy life :)

This is a pretty cool venue!…read more Babe and I visited twice before I decided to write my review! So this latest visit was on a Friday night about 6pm. It was super chill around this time and this was probably because they just opened their doors for happy hour and the live band. We were able to get a booth seat right near the stage where the local band (Ramonta and friends) were performing. Oh how I could forget...the entry fee... FREE!!!! Let's see...not too crowded, FREE entry, FREE buffet, happy hour drink specials...oh yeah, I am loving this so far. I am not sure how long this club/lounge has been in existence, but I was completely unaware of its existence prior to coming. I can remember driving by some years ago and noticed this was a restaurant once before. But now, they have made great use of the space. So you walk up to the door...security is waiting to check ID and your purse ladies. Not sure if it ever gets slammed, but the two times I have visited there has been no wait in line. So I visited once before on a Wednesday night about 10 pm and again a few Fridays ago just as the club opened. Nevertheless, we walked in and straight ahead is the bar and kitchen area. There is seating located on the right and left side of the club. The right side, I would consider your low key area, so if you want to check out things sit here. But over here, you can't see the dance floor area. Therefore, you may need to get up and roam to check out the whole scene. The left side, where the stage is located, you have about 10 booth seats. These booths also surround the dance floor that's a pretty decent size. You can also view the parking lot from this area...window seating if you will. The DJ booth is located over here too. You can also catch the game on one of their many TVs in the spot. Now if this spot fills quickly it will be standing room only and that could be an issue because it's not super spacey, but just enough space to chill, eat, and dance. Capacity maybe about 150 comfortably. Oh the food...it was tasty. Before I found out they offered a happy hour buffet, we had already ordered food. But it was crazy because about 5 items I ordered previously were unavailable...huh??? What do you mean, you don't have ANYTHING I am ordering...sheeeeesh!!! But they had plenty of fried chicken though - aye yi yi!!! Oh well, we ordered fried drumettes and fried shrimp. So yeah I mentioned how not busy they were and how they JUST OPENED the doors on that Friday evening...so the kitchen clearly wasn't ready to serve. It took 45 mins to get a order of two wing baskets and a basket of shrimp...fries sold separately. Whew... despite the severe wait time, I look forward to returning. I can't knock a club for not having food ready. Now if it was restaurant and nothing more, oh we would have left E-ME-JET-LEE!!!! I am not a club hopper at this age, but back in the day.......owwww, this would have been my lay low spot!!! Not too turnt* not too live, but just enough vibe and drink and get your two step on and leave feeling niiiiice! So yeah, a nice, chill spot with live music and a poppin DJ, I'm with it every now and then. As a result, this place foots the bill - SOLID. Not sure of the age requirements, but I'm guessing 25 and up...but mature crowd indeed - those I partied with on both nights were A OK!!! Private parking lot - Drinks Good - Waitstaff Friendly - I'd recommend you visit here if you enjoy urban music, hip hop, RnB - similar genres. Have fun :)
