We celebrated our 12th anniversary dinner here last night. We booked on the Resy app last minute and walked from our Airbnb.
There are actually 3 separate restaurants in this building. It’s a little confusing at first. The Bistro appeared to be the nicest, indoor option. It wasn’t super busy around 7pm on a Monday. A handful of tables were occupied but plenty of room for walk ins on a Monday night.
Our server was so friendly and bubbly. A sweet girl from NH. We chatted all things New England and Kittery. Her service was on point.
My hubby and I decided to share all food, to try more. We started with the seasonal salad with the maple vinaigrette. I was hesitant at first but it was delicious. For appetizers, we ordered the Oysters Rockefeller and the traditional Mussels. They were both fantastic. I liked that the mussels sauce wasn’t overly garlicky like a lot can be. Simplistic and salty. For our entree we shared the New York strip. I’ve never had a steak quite like this. Instead of heavily seasoning, like nearly every other steakhouse, it tasted like this steak was marinated. It was simplistically delicious. A little char, a little acidity, and a savoriness of rosemary. Gosh it was just so dang good! The broccolini was heavily peppered, not bad but just be aware. The potatoes au gratin were also unlike anything I’ve ever had. I don’t even like French onion soup but it tasted like the most delicious French onion soup I’d ever had. The cheesy oniony potatoes were simply to die for. I know that I’m going to be craving them once I return home. I wish they’d package these things and ship them!
We toasted our anniversary with the Brut champagne. Lighter than the average and not nearly as pungent of how Bruts normally are.
Highly recommend coming here and trying a little bit of everything!

We were in Portsmouth NH for our anniversary and were looking for a romantic seaside seafood restaurant.
Bistro 1828 appeared to for the bill.
The location with indoor and outdoor seating is great. The views from the third floor ski club level have the potential to be amazing, just check to see if the fog is rolling in.
We were disappointed with the food, and the service was o.k. But lacked personality and connection. As in zero attempt to speak with us outside of what we were ordering g and if we wanted dessert. We’re not looking for our server to hear our life stories, but zero interest in where we are from or why we were there.
The food was the great let down. There are several options for appetizers, salads, and entrees. My spouse enjoyed the generous serving of clam chowder. For entrees they ordered the fish and chips (being British an all time favorite). However the fish was breaded rather than battered and the French fries were frozen and starch sprayed.
Being that we were on the coast, I wanted to order seafood as well and option for the “crab stuffed” haddock. All I can say is that the crab stuffing was a pasty, gelatinous mass that is pushed aside after a small bite – I would have said taste, but it lacked any.
The fish itself was nicely cooked, the mashed potatoes were surprisingly good, the lobster sauce well balanced. The asparagus was, for my taste overly grilled and mushy.
We did I enjoy the dessert special, a stone fruit crisp.
There is parking on both sides of the roads.
Reservations are recommended, though even here we were surprised to discover that they use a reservation system that requires you to set up an account and submit a credit card to secure your spot.
We skipped the online reservation and called instead.

CHI Engineering had their annual holiday party at Pepperrell Cove last weekend. It was an amazing experience from the planning stages until the final cocktail. It was a delight to work with the owners (one of which is also the chef)/event coordinator and all the staff on the day. They couldn’t have been nicer or more accommodating. The rooms were warm and inviting and the view was spectacular. The food was outstanding from the appetizers to the main dishes. I have had multiple long-term employees say that this was the best holiday party they’ve ever been to. Pepperrell Cove is a seacoast treasure, and I cannot recommend it enough. You will not be disappointed.

What a lovely place! We remember when it was a general store. We had haddock tacos with a glass of wine for lunch. Tacos were perfect.

View is so cool upstairs. Very tight quarters. Intimate. Super nice on the upper deck in summertime. Downstairs bar and seating looks great as well. Great spot. Super cool history of harbor competition water skiing back in the 50s and 60s. Frank Frisbee was a legend!!

Our experience was outstanding, and Emily deserves all the praise! As first-time visitors to Maine, we weren’t sure what to expect, but she made us feel so warm and welcomed from the start. The food was absolutely amazing—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. Emily’s exceptional service, friendliness, and attention to detail truly made this a memorable experience for us. We will definitely be returning!

We typically have lunch at the 3rd floor Ski Club on sunny days overlooking Pepperell Cove. Heaven. Food is very good. A local place that gets busy. Arrive early or late for lunch.

My spouse and I randomly stopped by here after exploring the area on Christmas Eve around midday. We decided to take a chance and see if they were still open for brunch, and indeed they were. We did not anticipate it being one of the best brunch experiences we’ve had yet! The food was delicious, the drinks marvelous, and the service couldn’t be friendlier or more welcoming. We didn’t have a reservation, but the bar was perfect for the two of us. Thanks for providing us a wonderful memory from our mini vacation!

To start, I would definitely recommend trying this place. A couple things were just slightly off for us, but we will be back. They have a lot to offer. Ocean views, multi-level building with several themes tying back to this locations historical beginnings (outside and inside options). We ate on the third floor “Ski Club”. They had a great cozy bar with very cool drink menu. Bar service was a little off. We had the cheese plate, very fun accoutrements. We ate every last bite. Oysters were fresh but could have been colder/chilled more. Mushroom ravioli with tarragon cream had great flavor. Pasta was a little dense. Haddock with crab and lobster sauce. Great porting and haddock was could perfectly. Crab, mashed potatoes, Swiss chard were all flavorful and complimentary to the dish. Lobster sauce was bland & a let down, but overall still a good dish. I know that this place is a great spot in the summer, with lighter fare offered waterside with fried seafood, lobster rolls, etc… Great to see they’ve renovated this spot. The location is incredible. Will keep trying and going back. They have many options and they change up the menu.
