   For such a limited menu, my preferred option was "out." I ordered the haddock with vegetables, had zero flavor. I think they should stick to what they are good at and not try to be a restaurant, not making the leap well.

   Very awkward setup with the cafe below and the wine bar/bistro above. Cramped dining area with little to no sense of whether it’s a small deli or an actual restaurant. Only one server that was also in the role of hostess. When we arrived it seems as if the hostess never bothered to check we had an open table reservation, but luckily there was in fact a high table open. Wished we we seated at a regular table, the stools were uncomfortable. Service was slower than molasses in January. It appeared that there was only one cook who could only manage to complete one order at a time. Wine overpriced. Food was high quality but the amount they charge for fondue for two is near highway robbery. I don’t think we will return.

   We got brunch at La Maison Navarre on a Saturday morning - it was fantastic! The service is quick and friendly and the food is some of the best. I've been with my boyfriend 3 times now and our go-to is to get one sweet and one savory to split. Our favorites are the creme brûlée waffle, and the prosciutto and gruyere toast. There are brunch cocktails on the menu (Kir Royal is the best) and tons of coffee options (the best cappuccino!) as well as fresh juice. Located in downtown Portsmouth - it's perfect for a great brunch and then some shopping!

   I was most impressed with the food and service at Maison Navarre. We ate dinner in the wine bar upstairs, and had a delightful chat with the chef, Gretchen. The food was based on slightly updated versions of classic French dishes, and could not have been tastier. Our server was gracious and helpful. All in all, a most pleasant experience.

   There’s nothing more comforting at the end of a stressful and busy work week than climbing the stairs to the intimate wine bar and having Gretchen cook a delicious meal for us. Makes us feel like she is our personal chef! The winter menu is tasty and well prepared. We both cleaned our plates. Can’t wait to see what’s cooking for the Spring menu!

    This is a tiny place! We were a party of 4 and weren't seated until 45 minutes after our reservation time, but we were able to sit downstairs in the bakery area until a table was ready, so at least we were comfortable while waiting. And we got a free charcuterie board as an apology - best apology I've ever received. We got some wine, fondue, tartiflette, and beef bourguignon - all dishes were delicious and I really liked the dressing on the side salad- it was a nice sharp contrast to all the rich, cheesy goodness. All the staff was very nice and seemed knowledgeable about their menus.

    Disappointed and dissatisfied. Overall, the food from the appetizers to the entree’s were well below expectations. The crab dip was underwhelming and the cassoulet arrived cold. The haddock was bland. It was served with what appeared to be frozen pre-cut vegetables. We were quite disappointed and looked forward to dining here based on previous positive reviews. However, It appears most of the positives are from the bakery. The wine bar needs significant improvements with their entree quality. Don’t know if it was an off night but we are locals and will not eat here again. One positive the wine selection was good. There was also a large selection of cheeses and charcuterie. We wish we went with that. The service was fine and the server removed the entrees from our bill when we sent them back and shared our feedback. Unfortunately I do not recommend the wine bar for dinner service, wine and charcuterie would be fine.

    The wine room upstairs seems to be a constant 80 degrees which made for an uncomfortable dinner dressed as we were. The food was just ok with no real conversation with the chef which would have been great.

    La Maison NavarreResponded on January 4, 2023Bonjour, Thank you for your feedback about your experience at MN Wine Bar. We apologize for the inconvenience due to a problem with our AC. We were aware of this issue, but the HVAC company we work with was very busy and not able to come before. Our AC system has been repaired and it is now working properly. Sincerely,

    What a great experience we had at MN Wine bar. Our group was three couples. We had a blast trying different wines and enjoyed the ambiance. Our only complaint was the fondue price was high for what we received. Yet, we loved that this was a great way to share! That is worth it!

    We spent a birthday weekend in Portsmouth and ended up eating here twice, once for Sunday brunch and the second time for lunch. Very fun, comfortable atmosphere — not stuffy. Very good lattes, authentic French cooking. Both the sweet and the savory crêpes were amazing. We liked eating at the bar and watching the crêpes be made. I will now seek this place out whenever we are in Portsmouth.

    Odd that they have 2 different menus whether you sit upstairs or downstairs.

    La Maison NavarreResponded on November 2, 2022Bonjour Jason, Thank you for your feedback. We do propose 2 different menus because it is 2 different restaurants and experience. Our downstairs area is our Café section with no table service and it is open everyday for Breakfast, Lunch and Desserts. Our upstairs are is our Wine Bar restaurant with table service. It is open for Brunch on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. And we are open for Dinner on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I hope this will clarify your questions about MN organization.

    Wonderful place to have a weekend brunch. You can’t beat the upstairs wine bar if you like quality food choices, creative preparation, and friendly attention to detail. The soft boiled eggs with toasted brioche for dipping into them is just the way my European grandmother used to make for me as a child. Best quality cappuccinos in town.

    This is a great breakfast lunch place but is really not up to the task for dinner. The one server was great but she was stretched much too thin with so many tables. The food was just okay and did not come to the table hot. Food and drink at the prices charged needs to be better and the service needs to be much better. If this restaurant is going to continue dinner service, it really needs to up its game with so many much better restaurants available in Portsmouth.

    Hello, We love having lunch there, but dinner was not as great. The cheese board was wonderful, and the selection of cheeses to choose from was very,very good, as were the accoutrements. The dinner was not great. The steak option had run out and was not available. The chicken was tasty, but the meal seemed dry. The salmon was good, but the creamed spinach was disappointing. It was watery. We had a nice server and good wine. So many things there are great, but our dinner wasn’t up to the a same standard. We will come back for some wine and a cheese and/or charcuterie board, but probably not for dinner.
