Jumpin' Jay's Fish Café

Brian Jenkins

Overpriced. Very limited menu. Started with oysters in half shell which were fine ($3/ea). All 3 ordered a fish dish - we didn’t ask our guest but my wife’s and my dish came out cold (not warm - cold). We didn’t say anything as this was a recommendation from our guest and we didn’t want to embarrass him. Zero ambience - very loud - just a terrible experience…. Would not recommend

Except for a little reservation snafu, the staff and owner were glorious, and it kicked off our vacation right with delicious seafood and wonderful wine. If I am in Portsmouth again, this will be my first choice for a dining experience. Close to my hotel as well. Heart of the city.

Not fast service, but more a leisurely meal. The haddock is absolutely amazing... Probably one of the better meals I've had in my life. Wouldn't call this family friendly, but they'll make it work.

I came for dinner during a trip for work. Wonderful atmosphere and great (fast) service. I ordered the Swordfish catch of the day and it was excellent. I would absolutely come back. I did not have a reservation but would suggest making one.
