We stopped by for lunch on our way to Portland. It wasn’t during a peak time so we were the only table. We got the lobster bisque and swordfish sandwich. The lobster bisque was easily the best I’ve ever had. There was so much lobster meat in it and for $14 it felt like a steal. The swordfish was cooked perfectly and even though it was a simple sandwich, it was done very well. Also, the fries were very solid. I wish we had more time in the area but this restaurant definitely made a lasting impact.

Ambiance was nice. The service was good. My food (Portuguese Seafood Soup) while fresh was VERY bland. It was like eating well cooked but unseasoned fish in a very, very bland sauce. It tasted like they forgot ingredients. The service and view might be good but I eat with my taste buds. I won’t be returning. It’s way too expensive to be average.

The friendly staff greeted us as we entered and walked us out to the deck, where we sat over the water. We ordered the Lobster Feast w/2 Whole lobsters, corn on the cob, and mussels… and lobster bisque
It came out and WOW! Our server explained how to best disassemble and eat the lobster! The flavor and freshness was 2nd to none! The views of the water and boats was also a plus! My favorite meal I’ve ever eaten.

This restaurant is right on the water in the downtown area. It was busy, but we were able to get seated right away. The food was good and had a lot of lobster and seafood options!

We had a great night on the water here. Our waitress was excellent and very attentive. Fried zucchini was terrific. Lobster and shrimp on the salad was a good portion and the chicken fingers were a hit with my husband who does not eat seafood. We would definitely go back!

Went there on a Tuesday night around 530 or so. There was a short wait as they prepared a table as we were a party of 6. We sat outside. It was cool with the tug boats lined up and also watching the terns dive for fish. We ordered some fried zucchini as an appetizer and some drinks. Both were good. My wife ordered a lobster roll for dinner. She said it was good, but I think it could have been stuffed with more meat. I had the haddock basket. It was a good size for a basket (they did offer a plate). It tasted fresh and was really good. All and all, a good experience and I would return.

My wife and I recently dined at Old Ferry Landing in Portsmouth, NH, drawn by its waterfront location and casual ambiance. We started with the Lobster Bisque, which was deliciously creamy and packed with a generous amount of lobster pieces. Service was quick, and our bisque was brought out almost immediately, setting a great tone for the meal.
For the main course, my wife had the Broiled Scallops with roasted potatoes, while I opted for the Fried Scallops with fries. While my wife wasn’t a fan of her scallops—she prefers them charred rather than soft—I appreciated the flavor, but found the texture not to my liking. Having tried fried scallops for the first time, I now know they aren’t for me; I much prefer fried clams.
Despite some mixed feelings about the food, the quick service and the stunning waterfront views made the overall experience enjoyable. The restaurant’s prime downtown location is a big plus for anyone looking to enjoy Portsmouth’s charming atmosphere.

A staple for waterfront dining in Portsmouth. Lots of great seafood and fabulous cocktails. We were able to enjoy our meal, without being rushed. It was fun watching the activity along the water.

Great service and beautiful view of the harbor. Food was good but not as good as you’d expect at the price point. I would choose one of the other waterfront places next time. The clam chowder was very good but more potatoey than normal chowder. The broiled scallops were plentiful but buried too much in the butter.

The food was amazing here, and the service was good. The view from the deck was great, and it added to the laid back atmosphere. The lobster roll was super fresh and delicious. The clam chowder was some of the best I’ve ever had. The stuffed haddock was good and the shrimp scampi special was very very good. I would definitely recommend the fried zucchini as an appetizer.
