The Oar House in Portsmouth, NH

On a recent day trip to Portsmouth, Jason and I, along with our friends Amy and Eddie, had dinner at The Oar House, a mostly seafood restaurant. Now, Jason and I are both vegetarians, but they had a number of choices for our restrictive diets, which is why we were able to join our friends. (Eddie had never had a whole lobster before, so they were definitely eating there).

Jason ordered this spring greens, cranberry and goat cheese salad as a starter. I had the cone of pomme frites (not pictured).


Jason's meal was this pesto and sweet potato pizza. Sorry for the blurry pic. It was hard to get a decent picture with the low lighting without turning on the flash (which over-saturated the picture completely).


Eddie's lobster, which he understandably turned its face away from me. It was looking at me!


My meal was this perfect caprese salad with wonderfully succulent olives.


For desert, I got the creme brulle...
And Jason got the chocolate mudpie. Both great.

*I didn't get a picture of Amy's lobster pasta dish, but she loved it.
