Large, stylish spot offering small sharing plates of contemporary American cuisine & a full bar.
"WHAT: An intellectual small-plates spot with dishes and drinks originating from Portsmouth’s centuries-old history, natural bounty, and the often devilishly playful mind of Per Se alum chef Matt Louis.
WHY: Louis brings plenty of gumption to his food, serving dishes that five years ago locals might have looked at with skepticism in this quaint seacoast city. The staff works a dedicated farm plot, oysters from nearby Great Bay are cultivated just for this restaurant and its sister spot Franklin Oyster House, and foragers bring nettles to serve alongside invasive green crab. Both the staff and the dishes tell the history of the region, too. You can picture colonial settlers enjoying nods to dishes from their era, like hasty pudding fries with a molasses barbecue and buttermilk dip or the New England dinner 2.0 with corned beef brisket, napa cabbage, and Raye’s maple mustard."
