SouthPort Kitchen + Bar - Rye, New Hampshire

First time visiting, recommended from a friend's. Very quaint and welcoming, the staff are all extremely friendly and make you feel like family. The food was simply outstanding. Very good variety for all palates. The pizzas are brick oven and unique. Entree's, suggest the Short Rib or the Chicken Marsala. Suggest reservations as the venue is not very big. Parking is also a bit challenging, we came early. This is the first restaurant I have ever gone to twice in the same week. Cheers!

Wow. Firstly, make a reservation. From what I’ve read and seen, this place is packed. Good for them. It’s a small-ish spot so we still had to wait for our table despite the reservation, but no big deal. It’s really dark and cozy (quite literally since the giant pizza open we sat near must definitely warm the place up). The bulk of the tables are high tops, with a few lows and for that, along with the tight space, I’d not recommend this spot for young kids. I doubt we’d ever bring our 4 year old here.

The service was very good, although a tad on the slow side. I’m sure that’s because of how busy it was and that honestly doesn’t bother us. When we’re in Germany, dinners out often take 3 hours because they don’t rush service and it’s kind of nice. But some people might get finicky if their expectation is fast, fast, fast. Our server was good and very friendly. Though, there were a few mistakes with our orders (ex, my husband’s vodka martini came with gin and he despises gin). Nothing major fortunately.

We started with the artichoke and jalapeño dip and it was decadent. Really rich but delicious. Kind of reminds me of the goat cheese fundido at Vida Cantina, which we love. We were impressed it’s one of the few places that actually give you enough warm pita to eat the whole dip.

For dinner, I had pork belly bao buns and they were fantastic. Perfectly soft and spicy, but also a bit messy! And my husband had the chicken & mushroom Marsala which, oh my. That is a dish. It comes out looking more like a soup it’s drowning in so much creamy sauce (a good thing!). And had plenty of mushroom ravioli. He also ordered the warm focaccia bread and while it was amazing, we were both just too full to really crack into it.

Overall we felt the prices really reasonable too. App, two entrees, side of bread, and 3 alcoholic drinks came to just over $100. Looking forward to returning and trying one of the wood-fired pizzas. They looked awesome.

The waitress is wonderful. Her name is Tammy. The pizza was perfect We made it a little complex and didn’t miss anything. the wine was great and everybody was really attentive to us. We had a takeout and they were spot on with it. Great experience.

Service and atmosphere were great, but a few dishes were a little too salty for our taste (crab cakes especially). Overall, food and presentation were good. Would recommend if you are in the area.

First visit since opening. We tried several items. The entrees and desserts we had were good. The restaurant seems to be well received as its busy often. We will be back at a future date to try the brick oven pizza!

We went last night for the first time and it was amazing! Beautiful space, wonderful service and killer menu. The food and drinks were 10/10 can’t wait to go back!

Our experience was absolutely wonderful! Service, atmosphere, and most importantly food and drinks were awesome! We had the dumplings, ricotta and sausage pizza, beef stroganoff (special) and tiramisu for dessert. All were excellent. We’ll be back soon to try more - so many yummy options to choose from, and definitely family friendly which is a must for us.

To say we love this spot is an understatement! Their drinks are fantastic and the food is delicious! The ‘Ricotta be Killin Me’ pizza and truffle fries are a must try. Creative menu, amazing atmosphere and even better owners!
