Portsmouth is home to some of the richest history in New Hampshire; it's something that always interests me when I'm in town. Since the 1600s, it has been home to trade, shipbuilding, and some of the most well-preserved architecture in the world. It's also no stranger to great restaurants! Just about any taste you're looking for can be found in this diverse city. For the warmer seasons, there's no better experience that dining outdoors, and one eatery here offers some of the best waterfront dining in New Hampshire.
River House lies along the Piscataqua River in Portsmouth. This 12-mile tidal river forms the border of New Hampshire and Maine.
Executive Chef Nathan Varney's passion is to create next-level culinary experiences. Ingredients are sourced from local farmers and fishermen.
River House has a varied menu with tastes for everyone. Of course, being right on the water there is no shortage of delicious seafood dishes.
With the choice of a main deck, a cocktail deck, and a year-round balcony, there's always a spectacular view from River House.
The River View Tavern, adjacent to the decks, offers a cozy indoor space for socializing.
The Piscataqua River is a major shipping channel. If you're lucky, you'll be able to watch the big vessels moving by.
Even if you aren't that hungry for a meal, hanging out on the deck with a cocktail makes for a great summer evening.
