- SSherylvipGreater Boston •18 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoLa Maison Navarre is one of our favorite spots. Typically we go for brunch which is always great. Last night we had dinner. Starting with wine that our server Eric recommended. It was very nice! Next the charcuterie, which we looked to Eric for suggestions. Escargot and carrot soup for apps. Excellent! Then the entree…pork stuffed with sausage and apple…absolutely delicious! Dessert and coffee topped off the evening. Our server was great and it’s always a pleasure to visit with Chef. Quiet, not rushed, friendly people and fabulous food…how can you go wrong?! Really small space so make a reservation!More infoLa Maison NavarrePrice: Moderate• French• Portsmouth•4.9
- CCharlesGreater Boston •9 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoCR’s is a favorite restaurant of ours. The staff is welcoming and attentive, the ambiance is great and the drinks and food are fabulous. We have been following the owner, Chuck Rolocek,who is also a friend, for many years at his former restaurants and his present CR’s. He’s so professional and has created a wonderful dining experience - you cannot go wrong reserving a table at CR’s and enjoying a very special eveningMore infoCR's The RestaurantPrice: Expensive• American• Hampton•4.6
- JJaneGreater Boston •23 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoBolognese is one of my favorite Italian dishes; Massimo’s was exceptional as the penne pasta was “home made” plus a choice of serving sizes. My husband looks forward to the veal chop which was also done just as he had requested, rare and charred on the outside. The dining room is very cozy, we felt like we were in Italy.More infoRistorante MassimoPrice: Expensive• Italian• Portsmouth•4.8
