Moxy

Food is always phenomenal. Their award winning chef is always coming up with new and delicious plates. It's best to get many plates and share so you can try all of it. Johnny cake community is my favorite dish! Moxy is my favorite restaurant in Portsmouth. It's not the cheapest but still reasonable and very worth it!

Ridiculous selection of small plates that is always changing to incorporate fresh, local ingredients. The cocktail list is also constantly evolving and has something for everyone. You can tell when you dine here the amount of love and effort that goes in to each dish. Highlights: New England Dinner 2.0, Short Rib Toast, Caramelized Onion Dip, Fried Clams, Chicken Fried Frog Legs, just to name a few. Also, you must end your time here with the Whoopie Pies!

Really impressive. I saw several awards for James Beard Semifinalist. How the chef was not the winner, I don't know.

All of the dishes were well presented and easy on the eyes. The flavors were bold but balanced from the starters to the main dishes all the way through to the decadent desserts.

This is our new stop off when crossing the Maine border. Phenomenal!

The drinks here are delicious. Fresh tasting and on the modern side (which is great!) I love the fish dish here, it's the secret hit of the menu, to me. Everyone in my family comes for the short rib, that fish is always fresh, healthy and delicious.

Go to Moxy! Right now, go! Or son took us there on a recent trip to Portsmouth. Great mixed drinks. And those amazing American food tapas. All of them were excellent. I particularly liked the calamari. Most of the time, calamari in restaurants is tasteless and you dip them in aioli to taste something, at least. In this dish the calamari itself was tasty. The clam dish was really good, too. But that may be off the menu by the time you go there. I told you to go right now, but you thought you could wait. Serves you right.
