We had dinner here and ordered the stuffed lobster. It was so fresh and delicious. We would recommend it and definitely order it again. On the other hand we ordered the lobster pasta. It was delicious as well...
The lobster roll was generous, service was good, restaurant was clean. In all, a nice experience. AND it had parking !
Ate there over the summer, and it was a great experience. Wife and I had the oysters and lobster. The oysters were some of the best I've ever had. The staff was friendly and efficient. Would highly recommend and look forward to eating here again.
Went here for lunch after a cruise. Our family had a great time. The NY Strip was wonderful. The stuffed maine lobster was fantastic. The clam Chowder was good. We enjoyed ourselves and our server was wonderful...
The Oar House is a classic establishment in Portsmouth, NH. We were here for the weekend and wanted a a nice cocktail by the water prior to shopping downtown. I was so happy with the service, food (and prices!!!!) we came back for dinner!
