River House

Great view from the deck dining area but only for half of the diners who get to sit facing the river. Friendly waitstaff, speedy service. The tables are very close to each other so you will clearly hear the conversation of the people on either side of your table. The food we ordered was disappointing. The lobster mac and cheese ($26) had very little lobster. The Parmesan waffle fries were dry and tasteless. Although this place gets good reviews, I did not enjoy our experience here.

I went here with friends yesterday and we all had a great time. Great spot for food and drinks by the water. Nice place to try if you're visiting Portsmouth. They have an outdoor deck and balcony perfect for the good weather we've had lately. Their Frosé (frozen rosé) was delicious. We shared oysters and chicken tenders as appetizers. We ate every bite! I had the steak tips with mashed potatoes and asparagus. Another person tried the "tall ship" (lobster roll with chips and chowder). It was all tasty and good quality. Highly recommend for a nice meal by the water. Range of foods and price points so everyone can leave happy. Our server was very friendly and checked in with us multiple times. Will definitely visit again!

The lobster and artichoke dip was great. The haddock sandwich was so fresh and delicious. The shrimp and clam plate was so good too and a generous portion. Staff was really nice. Beautiful view off the deck where we sat on a gorgeous day.

We had great service! Called ahead, but didn't need to, as we got there around 8pm. I have a gluten allergy and the bartender answered all of my questions. The menu is clearly labeled for gluten free options as well! My fisherman's platter was DELICIOUS. My boyfriend loved the connolis, especially the chocolate one. Would definitely go back!
