“ Went on a Saturday night with family and had a wonderful meal! It was way too cold to enjoy the view, so that gives us another reason to head back in the warmer months. Our server was attentive and engaging. We had an opportunity to taste a whole range of appetizers- the corn bread with honey butter (it comes out in a mini cast iron pan and enough to share for 3-4 people), the nachos (probably my favorite appetizer. Would probably order this as an entree next time), shrimp cocktail (yum) and hummus (it had a nice subtle kick it to it). For my entree, I ordered the cordon bleu and it did not disappoint. Everything was cooked to perfection! Definitely looking forward to returning :). ”
“ 8 of us celebrated a dear friends 60th birthday yesterday with brunch at Martingale Wharf. We cannot say enough about the excellent service we received from Miss Carmen! A wonderful server greatly influences whether or not you will return to a restaurant & we will be back. Food & atmosphere were great as well! ”
“ Great location and fabulous cocktails! A staple in Portsmouth! Great for groups to share a bunch of small plates! ”
“ What a wonderful place!! Starting with walking into the restaurant and being greeted by the super sweet hostess, Trinity, really set the tone for the night. Our waitress, Cheyenne, was a delight too & very sweet, accommodating & prompt! Food was delicious! Try the chicken nachos for an appetizer and you can't go wrong with the Wharf burger! Cocktails were top notch too. Oh and to top it off, the view is spectacular!! HIGHLY recommend this place!! ”
“ Party of six tonight. Three moms and our babies... we celebrated our seniors about to graduate high school! And we had THE BEST waitress around... Miss Carmen! She made our night spectacular! I would go back again just to have her as our waitress. Could not have asked for a better time. Thank you, Miss Carmen! ”
“ Way too late posting this, was here months ago. Had avoided it for years, stupid me! Let's start with decor, surprising modern and Mediterranean inspired. The bar, you know me I ALWAYS sit at the bar, is spectacular. Must see, see my pictures. Love the house plants and herbs guy. Someone cares! We had minimalist flowers this day too. Bring a date and/or your parents. Romantic in an airy and watch the ocean too way. Out door seating to enjoy, Loves. They have some huge private rooms too; I can resist a door and taking a peak. Drinks and food: Can't go wrong. Comfort food as well that's a little INSPIRED. Bring anyone, should find something. Had the shrimp cocktail and made us happy. Drinks were a good pour and inspired. Beer selection good for a resort town; a lil' this and that. The staff is a team and friendly to the patrons. They are using a zone coverage method for the tables, someone is always a minute away from asking if u need something if you're not focused on the food or companions. Everyone smiled a greeting as we arrives, when going to the loo, and lefaving. Who are these happy waitrons? Really a good staff, hope they maintain the quality. The bartenders were great! I am so coming back, it eclipses our regular place. Did I mention the ocean view? A must see. ”
“ We made a reservation for dinner and we're seated in the bar/ dining room at a table where the walls were slid open. So best of both worlds between inside and out. The view and atmosphere were beautiful and we watched the boats come in and out if the harbor. Our server was funny and engaging, we really enjoyed her and she was on pointe with our service. We started with dirty martinis and ceviche. Both were great. Hubby had steak tips rare and I had the pan seared salmon medium rare over warm soba salad. Oh my gosh it was delicious. I definitely recommend this place. ”
“ If you are looking for the perfect view on a fabulous outdoor deck, this is the spot for you! The hostess was incredible! I couldn't find my friend and I was from out of town. She was so kind and helpful! I really loved the food too. The Lobster Roll was incredible. It was a wonderful way to spend a Saturday afternoon! ”
