    Very disappointing. My first clue was when we walked in on a Saturday night and only 5 tables were occupied. My haddock was obviously previously frozen, and my wife's pasta with clam sauce was bland with overcooked pasta. Seems like an overpriced tourist trap. There are so many better choices in Portsmouth.

    This place has really gone downhill. I had dinner here 2 years ago and it was pretty good - not great -but above average. Stopped in last week and the food was underseasoned, no flavor, reminded me of nursing home food. Won't be going again.
