- JJennVIPGreater Boston •22 reviews4.0Dined 4 days agoThe food was all really good, the drinks were delicious, and our server was great! All that said, the “experience” is not worth paying for. They need the hard style igloos that have an actual door… the zipper kept getting stuck on the door so a bunch of cold air would come through but worst of all, it was dripping all over us… into our food, drinks etc. my hair was pretty soaked in one spot, when I tied it up then it just dripped on my neck. We used their blankets to shield our legs, which helped. Additionally, I don’t recommend ordering food if you’ll be in the igloos. The table is low low so it was kind of awkward to eat with our food on our laps (but also at an angle to avoid the dripping water). Again, everything was quite tasty and our server was fantastic! He was great with our group and the two kids we had with us. Our drinks were absolutely delicious so if you’re doing the igloo, get some friends and some cocktails for a cute little evening out under the blankets!More infoRooftop at The EnvioPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Portsmouth•4.4

- JJohnLos Angeles •1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoAwesome food and service. From initial greeting at the door to retrieving our coats as we left, we were treated like royalty. The food was excellent and the service was just right. We were able to enjoy our conversation and food without interruptions. But our server, Anna was always there when we needed anything.More infoRistorante MassimoPrice: Expensive• Italian• Portsmouth•4.8
- PPatrickVIPWashington, D.C. Area •9 reviews5.0Dined on Jan 17, 2025This place is a real little gem! The food was great and the quiet location in the loft at the back of the shop was a real surprise. They only seat about 20 people and there’s only one chef doing the cooking so it isn’t a spot for a quick bite. If you’re going to a show at the Music Hall across the street, be sure to tell them up front. Plan extra time for a slow-paced relaxing experience but definitely go. Can’t wait to return.More infoLa Maison NavarrePrice: Moderate• French• Portsmouth•4.9
