My now wife and I had dined there a few months before we got engaged, and then, while living in Arizona, thought it would be the perfect place to have our reception. Let me tell you this. It did not disappoint. Not even close. We had a small private room just to the left of the reception area, near the deck. The bartenders, phenomenal. I mean, they kept the drinks flowing, their friendly demeanor was amazing. The food, top notch. We decided to do a heavy appetizer menu for our guests and everything was simply superb. We had sliders, 3 different types of fries, chicken fingers, honestly it was our dream meal. We had such a fabulous time. They even opened the lower deck so we could go down and take some pictures for the wedding. I mean, I love the place. It is now my favorite restaurant in Portsmouth. I will forever go back when I'm in town, just to experience the food, and the amazing atmosphere. I really really enjoyed it. The staff, the food, all top notch. This was a place and day I'll remember forever. Thanks so much, we really love you guys!

The East Room at Martingale was complete perfection for our rehearsal dinner. We had a cocktail style event with served appetizers and beverages, plenty of space to move around, comfy couches, high top tables and a bar with stools against huge windows that opened up right out onto the Piscataqua River. The food was incredible! We ate, drank and socialized with breezes coming off the water and the waitstaff was extremely attentive to our every wish. Everyone in attendance expressed how beautiful the spot was and how elegant but relaxed the entire venue felt. If only we could do it all over again!
