I really enjoyed the dinner here. For appetizer I had Yorkshire pudding with braised beef. The meat was amazing, the Yorkshire pudding was not made right before serving so I had better ones, but together the flavor was very good. I had duck breast as my main and it was very good, perfect medium rare. The burnt cheesecake with strawberries was very delicious, a perfect ending to a nice dinner.
Note that the entrance had many stairs, but to the left, somewhat hidden out of the view, there is a ramp for those who need easier access.

Popover with braised beef appetizer. The beef was very tender and flavorful. The popover was not as expected, I expected it to be hot and fresh. Overall it was good but for the price I was expecting a larger portion of meat.
Service was great, atmosphere had a nice colonial feel, perfect fireplace seating for a winter dinner.

Great dinner spot. We (4) shared the Yorkshire pudding (popover) and the Frye bread salad. I had the go cakes delish, wife and friends got the beef pie. The pie was very large size and very good. Our server Jess was fantastic and we all just really loved the place. We will definitely go back. Make a reservation and be sure to wear a sweater because if you sit next to a window you will sure need it.❄️ ❄️

Delicious food. Inviting, dark, and warmly lit dining atmosphere. Excellent service. The team delivers an exquisite dining experience. I especially enjoyed the red wine braised short ribs…the “stiction” of the meat and “mouth feel” of the dish was on point. Highly recommended.

A Holiday Hug in Restaurant Form – The Puddle Dock, Portsmouth NH
This visit to The Puddle Dock was a holiday treat for my daughter and me, and from the moment we walked in, it felt like stepping into a snow globe. A fire was roaring, the lights were twinkling for the holidays, and outside the snow gently fell. It was pure New England magic.
First things first: our server, Eleanor, was absolutely amazing. Warm, attentive, and genuinely lovely—exactly the kind of service that elevates an already wonderful experience.
I started with a Decoy Cabernet Sauvignon. Although they had a nice selection of European wines, Sonoma Valley was calling my name, and who was I to ignore it?
Since it was our first time at The Puddle Dock (and the menu and Eleanor’s suggestions made choosing nearly impossible), we decided to share two appetizers and split a meal. Excellent decision.
The Colonial Pork Pie was so good it could’ve stood on its own with the delicious pork filling and lard (yes, lard!) crust. But then… that grain mustard gravy entered the picture. Incredible. Dreamy. Life-changing. I’m not even doing it justice. I could have happily swum in it.
Next up were the potato croquettes, drizzled with garlic and cheddar soup, and topped with an extra layer of crunchy goodness. Absolute comfort food perfection. Calories be damned.
For dinner, we shared the crispy skin chicken with puréed cauliflower, plus a side of roasted broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and maitake gravy. While I wished the skin had a bit more crunch, the chicken itself was hands-down the most moist chicken I’ve ever had in my life. Truly unforgettable.
We would’ve loved to stay for dessert, but we had to dash across the street for a performance at The Players’ Ring. It was a perfect ending to a perfect winter evening.
Warm, cozy, delicious, and memorable—The Puddle Dock is a must, especially during the holidays. ❄️

It was our second time to the Puddle Dock. Unfortunately this was not a stellar experience as was the first time. The food was excellent but service was lacking. There were two servers visiting our table. When we asked one for a wine recommendation, one said she would send the other waitress over with wine tastings. Next thing we know our waitress appears with individual wine carafes and pours my husband and I a full glass of wine each. My husband was ok with his, but mine was a Cabernet, which I did not want. The waitress of course took it away, brought the wine menu and made it right- but I ended up feeling embarrassed by the whole situation.
Another annoyance was that we were offered more bread (the bread is very good but thinly sliced) and found out when we got the check that they charged $2 for extra bread.
Not sure if I will be going back.

We returned again to our favorite spot-such a welcoming and charming restaurant. The friendly and very attentive staff are all so professional and cater to you to ensure you have a wonderful experience. Quinn, the general manager, is a true gentleman and our waitress Maddie is also always fabulous. The atmosphere is so cozy, the drinks divine and the food very well prepared and presented.
Looking forward to returning soon.

Really disappointing experience tonight. I’ve been a loyal customer for years, but this visit was so frustrating that I won’t be returning.
Things started off fine until my entrée arrived. I ordered the steak and potatoes cooked medium, but it came out very rare. It took quite a while for our waitress to return to the table, and when I let her know, she said she would take care of it. About 15 minutes later, she brought a new steak — but when I cut into it, it was once again completely rare.
Unfortunately, she left immediately after dropping the plate, so I had to wait again to flag her down. At that point, I decided I would just switch to the chicken instead. However, she simply removed the steak without asking what I’d prefer or showing much interest in making it right, which felt dismissive.
A manager eventually came over and asked if I wanted something else, but by then too much time had passed and my friend had already finished her meal. The evening was essentially over for me at that point.
We were offered complimentary desserts, which I appreciated, but it didn’t make up for the poor service and repeated issues with the entrée. Really unfortunate experience.

Puddledock is in a picturesque post and beam building. I had the mussels and the steak and potatoes. Both were good.

Puddle dock was the perfect blend of cozy and upscale for an Easter dinner with my family. Our server David was incredibly charming and did an excellent job checking in and keeping the dinner well timed. I got the wagyu cottage pie, which had a large enough potion that I took some home, while the rest of the family devoured their chicken and soup. Will definitely be returning for a date night soon!
