Just went to the Dunaway in Portsmouth - it opened a few months ago and I've been saying I need to check out Portsmouth, it's been a while. Went there with a friend from Newburyport and we both loved it. The duck was excellent, maybe the best duck I've ever had. Truly. And my friend had the shortribs, totally tender - my friend did salt it more, but I liked it as it was. Lots to choose from - the scallops and the salt cod sounded great - but we'll have to come back to try. Beautiful room, warm, inviting, as if in someone's home. Chef told us she is planning a new menu shortly - she picks a lot of veggies right from her kitchen gardens out back. How very cool. Yes, we'll be back.
Pros: beautiful setting, great menu/very local, great bar w/friends
Cons: 1 hour drive from bos
