Reviews for Portsmouth Gas Light Co. in Portsmouth, NH

Went there fir the night club event, live band performance was great. DJ performed well. There was no cover change and drinks... price was very reasonable. But drinks prep might need more attention. Brick oven Pizza downstairs at basement was really good.Overall nice place to spend your evening. Located right at middle of downtown. Read more

We went on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. We were seated right away and the server came over shortly thereafter. We ordered... four beers, two side salads, and four entrees. My side salad was really fresh and delicious and pretty big for a side. That?swhere the good ends. My lobster roll was not fresh. You would think that with Portsmouth being on the water and it still beingsummer, it would have been fine but it was not fine. It tasted and smelled fishy. It was also very red for some reason. Theother people also had mixed reviews with their food: a chicken veggie wrap, a hamburger, and a chicken salad. Read more

Very good pizza and the staff was super accommodating to handle the four of us strolling in at 11PM, coming straight from a... wedding. The live music in the downstairs lounge made me want to stay, but apparently we needed to bring a pizza back to thebride and groom. Apologies to anyone who wanted pizza that night; they sold the rest to us. Read more

Fun times! Good food and great service. Stopped by as they are dog-friendly and I had my pupper with me. Chose to do the deck... area. I whiffed and picked out three things that Kira (waitress) had to return to tell me that they ran out of it, ha. Finallysettled for short rib and gnocchi, with mussels to start. Mussels were good. I love seafood though, so I may be a bit biased.Broth was very garlicky (which is GOOD) but the mussels at the Portsmouth Brewery had more flavor (probably because of the beerbroth). It was still very good though. My doggo wasn't as impressed. Also... mussels were pretty small this time of year, ormaybe just small in general... I remember saying the same thing to myself at the brewery. No big boyos here. Short rib andgnocchi were also good, pretty flavorful. At about the time I was getting into my meal, the sky decided to sprinkle and thendump on me. I was the only dummy sitting in the open. The staff got me another short rib and gnocchi because they saw how I wasgetting soaked and how my entree and beer were getting watered down. I thought that was SUPER AWESOME of them to offer. My doggowas pleased with the short rib. #FineDoggoDining And of course the other deets: A bit cramped with outdoor seating, but it'sfine when you don't have a fur baby with you constantly trying to turn around and sniff everything. Outdoor bar looks prettynifty and is protected by an overhang. Gazebo where people can just hang. No people watching because there's a wooden fence thatcloses you off from the street. Service was great; Kira checked on me almost every few minutes after I told her I needed a bitmore time with the menu. (Had to take care of the doggo first.) $60 for mussels, pasta, and beer, with a tip. Definitely willgo again. Hopefully they'll have the other choices when I do, ha. Read more

Portsmouth gas light was a great meal, started with clam chowder the Parmesan pull aparts and braised short ribs then finished... with brownie sundae for dessert. Read more

Awesome menu with a wide variety of foods. Best beer battered fish and smash burger I've had in a long time! We were so full... from the appetizers, we had to take our entrées home! Can't wait to go again. Read more

We arrived before the rush, but service was slow. The food was delicious , but slightly overpriced. We eat out a lot so we know... what prices currently run and these prices were about 10% higher than average for the food choices. The hummus was clearly madein house and was a more chunky version than a typical hummus, but had great flavor $15. 2 out of 3 enjoyed it. Stuffedmushrooms were delicious and came with 6 for $15. (BTW pricing posted outside did not match pricing inside). Fish and chipsplate came with 2 good size pieces of fish and a plate full of fries for $28. Bowl of butternut squash bisque was $7. Grilledhaddock with a scoop of risotto topped with 6 asparagus stalks was $32. Sataki (sp?) Chicken had a large scoop of risotto and 6stalks of asparagus at $28. Has a spicy kick. All of the dishes were very tasty. Of note: there are 3 floors with 3 differentrestaurants inside which we did not realize when we went inside. See menu picture for each floors restaurant. Read more

First time eating here and with any takeout, I am always worried the food will not taste as good as if eating there. We did not... feel like eating out because we had some stuff to do at home, so we took the chance! Glad we did because the food was definitelyworth it! I particularly loved the pull-apart cheese sliders, it was a unique way of eating a cheese appetizer rather than justgetting mozzarella sticks, and the haddock and risotto I had were also top-notch!
