Great service, reasonable prices and delicious food! What else you you ask for? Pitcher of sangria =perfect. Shrimp tacos=amazing! Blackened snapper tacos = not quite as good, dry

I enjoyed the hot Lobster Roll here for dinner and especially loved the view from the outdoor balcony overlooking the Piscataqua River.

Very good food at very reasonable prices. We had fish tacos and nachos. Very glad we got the half nachos along with our meals as it was very filling. The whole nacho plate would have been enough to feed a small family!

Hours show open till 9 pm. Unfriendly wait staff informs you that you cannot be seated an hour prior due to closing.

Came up to Portsmouth for a day trip and tried to eat at Surf and the other bougie restaurant on this block - 2 hour wait! We ended up at Poco's and had an amazing time. The decor is casual, borderline beach kitsch, and a fun time. Five stars for the coconut shrimp alone. The coconut shrimp was so so so so incredible, I had to send photos to my coconut shrimp fanatic friend mid meal to alert her of the spot. Lobster quesadilla and bbq pork nachos, also very tasty. Will be back!

Interior was very nice, very pleasant. We didn't sit outside (too busy), but it looked like a great place to sit and have a drink or a meal, and enjoy the riverside view.

Been coming here for years. Was disappointed this time. Had half a nachos but was more like a quarter of a nachos.much smaller than usual. Side of quac was $5. . Tasted good but very small for the price.

Great good and drink. Awesome waits staff service. Some items on menu weren't available (burgers, fried appetizers). They also refuse to take reservations (even for parties of 10) but then seemed annoyed when we showed up. Also, the the online "wait list" is moot because the hostess literally said "oh I just delete this right away." . We did have to wait over an hour even though we called three times and tried to join the online waitlist. Food and drink made up for it, but if you have a large party, you can probably find better service somewhere else.

I had the Lobster Avocado Salad but the salad was Pringnitz mix was bad. I was shocked they would even serve salad like this. There were black pieces beyond wilted. They asked how was everything and I told them the salad was bad, but what did they do? Nothing. Just said oh well sorry. Will never eat there again and highly NOT recommend.

Food, drinks, and service were all good after having subpar experiences at much more highly acclaimed fine dining establishments in the city. Nice 20% military discount program was appreciated!

You have gone downhill. Please don't blame COVID. You are now open and your long standing customers expect the same quality of food the restaurant has served for years. Your margueritas are now no different than bottled mixes...not to mention weak. Serving lunch in styrofoam take away containers should have made us walk out on the spot. THEN the food itself. Greasy taco shells, skimpy fillings and salad greens at least two days old. The dressing tasted store bought. Please listen up and go back to the quality you used to serve. You WERE one of my favorite restaurants in Portsmouth. Often the reason we drove up. I'll wait and give you one more try. If there is still plastic everything, tasteless everything and weak drinks, bye bye.

Meh. The flavor of the pulled pork was very tasty. Our margaritas were too sweet and not balanced. Food came out in a timely manner on a busy night.

My family is from Maryland and stopped in Portsmouth to sight-see and eat, this set of staff was extremely accommodating to us. They went above and beyond to make sure we were all set. The food was also fantastic! The hot lobster roll was amazing! Also, this place had a beautiful view of the harbor, so along with the amazing staff and great food, the view just added to it!
