Reviews for Jumpin' Jay's Fish Café in Portsmouth, NH
Appetizers were good, but our scallops were extremely undercooked, and our fish were extremely over cooked :/ we felt bad... sending everything back so we sent back only the scallops. Read more
Fantastic seafood restaurant, cool southwest vibe. Ellen our waitress made wonderful suggestions.. the salmon crudo in Serrano... infused oil was amazing, like velvet , it melted in your mouth. Go with the specials. We had the cod and haddock piccata whichwere perfectly prepared and for dessert was blown away by the stout infused chocolate caramel cake… it was one of the bestdesserts we have ever had. Thank you for making our anniversary dinner a memorable event. Read more
Fantastic fresh seafood in a comfortable classy atmosphere. Oysters, tuna tartar and crudo from the raw bar were the perfect... way to start. Cod with roasted corn basil cream sauce with pumpkin tortellini was SO good. No room for dessert, but theofferings looked amazing. Read more
We had a wonderful evening here tonight, Friday night. We had reservations for 7:30 but finished in town early and arrived a... few minutes after 6, we were invited to sit at the bar until a table was prepared for us. They returned maybe 15 minutes laterto get us but we were enjoying ourselves at the bar and ended up eating there I had the sweet heat drink and it was a slowbuild but I very much enjoyed it. We split appetizers, the tuna tartare and the Thai mussels and finished with the Japanesecheesecake and it was all perfect. Super service, cool music (not too loud), nice ambient lighting, wonderful food and honestlya pretty reasonable price, 3 drinks, 2 appetizers and a dessert for $90. Super happy and planning our next visit. Read more
Except for a little reservation snafu, the staff and owner were glorious, and it kicked off our vacation right with delicious... seafood and wonderful wine. If I am in Portsmouth again, this will be my first choice for a dining experience. Close to myhotel as well. Heart of the city. Read more
The food was fantastic, as were the drinks. The staff was great, very obliging, and assisted by explaining things, such as what... was in each sauce, to inform us and to help us make decisions on what we wanted. They made the dinner easy and even helped withto go orders. Will definitely go here again! Read more
I came for dinner during a trip for work. Wonderful atmosphere and great (fast) service. I ordered the Swordfish catch of the... day and it was excellent. I would absolutely come back. I did not have a reservation but would suggest making one. Read more
Great dining experience. Short menu but in reality very robust offering a broad, interesting range of choices. Kitchen backed... the menu up by sending out perfect dishes, both eye pleasing and delicious. Staff topped everything off with ballet-like,cooperative service. They ALL kept a close, unwavering eye on the diners throughout the evening. In particular, our server(sadly identified as 441) was simply terrific. Read more
