What Devin likes about Surf:
Surf restaurant in Portsmouth truly stands out from a week of dining in NH and ME. The food is fantastic, with standout surf and turf options that are both expertly prepared and delicious.

Highly recommended for both the quality of... View all feedback. What Patricia Estrada doesn't like about Surf:
Unfortunately, I experienced food poisoning from the sushi here. I noticed that the tuna in my rainbow roll looked a little grey and not fresh. My partner also had indigestion. The atmosphere includes a great oceanside view, but the dining area itself is a little run down and everything looks like it's sticky. View all feedback.
