Rooftop at The Envio — AC Hotel Portsmouth ❄️
If you’re looking for the ultimate winter dining experience, the igloos here are pure magic. Warm vibes, twinkly lights, and seriously delicious food. The kind of night that feels straight out of a movie ✨
I’d rate the food a solid 9/10 across the board. Every dish came out beautifully plated and full of flavor:
Perfectly cooked steak — tender, juicy, and rich with flavor
Crispy chicken cutlet topped with arugula + shaved cheese
Salmon entrée with a sweet-savory glaze
Mini sliders that were bite-size perfection
Creamy clam chowder (hello New England comfort!)
Decadent brownie dessert with melty caramel + toasted marshmallow
And the cocktails? Festive, fun, and match the vibe of the igloo!
Between the cozy igloo setting and the amazing food, this spot is such a winter gem in Portsmouth. Perfect for date night, girls’ night, or anytime you want to feel extra ✨

VIBES! Impulsively rented the igloo (yes expensive but so worth the $$) Eli was the BEST server ever. So fun! Made our night!! Nunzio made spectacular drinks all night and served up some great humor as well. Must go if either are there! So sweet 🙂

Amazing experience from start to finish! The food was delicious and full of flavor, the service was fast and friendly, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Perfect spot for dinner — I’ll definitely be coming back! Desiree & Deb were phenomenal! They were so kind & welcomed us with open arms! I cannot wait to come back here. The view was spectacular as well!!

Long review- bear with me.
First thing to note about this restaurant is that it has a great atmosphere, with spacious tables and a chic bar. The staff are friendly, and the view is refreshing. To start, my table ordered the “honey pork belly burnt ends” served with pickles and a special sauce. The pork belly was not only dry, but tough to cut. A very unusual texture for pork belly. The dish had high notes of vinegar, and the pickles enhanced that intensely. The sauce brought out a spice that was mediocrely enjoyable, however the texture of the meat significantly reduced the satisfaction of the dish. I rate it a 4/10. Next, a member of my party and I ordered the “Tournedos of Beef Tenderloin” served with potato pave, cooked spinach, and foie gras butter. We both asked for medium-rare. Both dishes were served at room temperature, without steak knives, and the steaks were two different shades of pink. I unfortunately received mine medium-well. Still, I attempted to persevere and enjoy my meal. The meat itself was very unseasoned, and dryer than I am used to. While the foie gras butter aided in enhancing its flavor and texture, it still wasn’t enough to consider enjoyable. The spinach was dismissible, and shockingly the potato pave was the star of the dish. I just would prefer if the flavor profile of the potato would refrain from overpowering the tenderloin. I rate the dish a 3/10. As I struggle to crawl to the finish line from this disastrous meal, my table decides to order dessert. I decide to extend an olive branch for possible redemption. I order the “Basque Cheesecake”, served with balsamic cherries. Upon first bite, I could somewhat appreciate the taste of the cherries, however that small glimpse of satisfaction was quickly erased with disgust for the grainy, sandy, texture of the cheesecake. I reached for another bite, just to be sure. I confirmed that the sensation in my mouth was most definitely not smooth or creamy, but rather crumbly and TV-static-like. 1/10.
Bonus: I also ordered an espresso martini. For cocktail lovers, if you are looking for a proper espresso martini with the foam on top, this is not it. Instead, I was served this watery, milky drink with espresso beans floating around the rim. I couldn’t tell if the taste was actually satisfactory, or if I was just easily pleased after this devastating excuse of a meal.
Cost: $200 for 3 person (not including tip)
In conclusion, we will be fine-dining elsewhere.

Food was incredible—am especially grateful to Amelia for relaying my email to the chef for a hummus recipe. Thank you for the great night! Perfect for my Mom’s birthday. Thank you also to our waiter Annabella, she was wonderful.

This restaurant is amazing. The presentation was incredible and the service was very good. We were the only ones in the restaurant so we were well taken care of. I would have given 5 starts but the website listed a happy hour and hamburger special on Tuesdays. Neither of these things are true. It was very disappointing.

Igloo in the day, is a no no. You are made aware of how poorly it has been kept up and how unclean it is. It costs $150 for 2 hours. Of course, for such a high cost, I expected a clean, kept up special space, and seating that was not full of stains. That is far from what we had. We had a 10 month old that we would never let explore as the floor hadn’t been swept or vacuumed, in I don’t know how long. Chucks of rock salt and debris, dirt, from previous customers all over the place. The plastic carpet was plain out dirty and didn’t lay flat and was a tripping hazard for littles ones, and just wrong ($15 to replace). And to think I paid just for the space, $150?! Seriously? Food was average at best, and not befitting of the price. SO disappointed that the special “experience” for my daughter’s 28th birthday was sub par and costly. Time to clean the igloos Envio and keep up on it or make the igloos free and if you get one you get one, it isn’t special, and even more so, not at $150, especially in the day, when you can see how neglected they are. I feel robbed. Think Jean Mackin of NH Chronicle wouldn’t be as excited to be there now. Don’t care if it is the end of the season, as $150 didn’t get any less for your end of season offering. Do better Rooftop. Disappointed Won’t be back.

Food was what you could expect from a preset valentine’s day course. Nothing to write home about. Service was slow, I sent back two of the courses because one wasn’t what I ordered and the other (steak) wasn’t even warm when I finally got it. I expect more for a $250 dinner but I suppose this is the world we live in now. $500 must be the new $250.
Atmosphere was generically decorated hotel restaurant (mix of home goods and pottery barn) and loud patrons. Again, nothing out of the ordinary.
However, what’s worth noting is we made reservations 1 month in advance and we were told that it would be a 45 minute wait upon our arrival.
It appears that management at Envio are unaware of what the concept of reservations entail. My understanding, is that when someone reserves a time slot, it’s for that specific time. If you tell me “you’re not sure why we booked so many tables” I will know you’re either lying, or you don’t understand your own system. I’ll walk you through it friend. You didn’t overbook. You started seating people without reservations who showed up last minute.
Either you have a reservation system, or you don’t.
The long wait combined with poor food quality and prices that rival the russian tea room means we will go elsewhere for “fine” dinning.

Had such a lovely meal and experience with Cici, our outstanding and kind server! Would 100% come back. Got the shrimp noodle bowl and charcuterie board which were both incredible. Highly recommend!
