My wife and I went here for a celebration with our family and had a great time. The food was great, and service was quick. The waitstaff is very attentive and they anticipate things for you before you realize that you anything. You'll enjoy this place.

We were a fairly large group - 8 people - on a Friday night. The restaurant was 80% full. While the food was quite good, we found the service to be uneven. The table of three adjacent to us arrived after we had given our orders but they received their entrees well before we did. When the desserts were served,... More

Wow, a dining room staff that understands how to create a fine dining ambiance. True attention to making sure the guests enjoy their meal and conversations. Chef did a fine job preparing both the vegetarian and fish dishes we ordered. Appreciated that the waiter was able to accept my order for a fruit cup, not on the menu, without any... More

As a life long resident of Portsmouth I admit that we have fallen into the "safe" places to go for special evenings out. This year for my husbands birthday, I wanted something a little more special than safe. Thankfully I chose the Green Monkey! Being greeted at the door by Deb, the owner, with a warm welcome felt instantly like... More

We have been to the Monkey several times, but Deb recently outdid herself. I planned a surprise party in Boston for my wife's 60th birthday, flying in our children from hither and yon as the special present. Less than 48 hours before the event, my wife informs me of her plan to participate in a training session that will make... More

Started off at the bar with a delicious key lime martini. Preceded to dinner with several coworkers and overall had an ok experience. Rolls were cold and a little hard, but yummy. Thought it was odd we weren't offered butter, but oil was good. No salt and pepper either-odd. The scallops for dinner were pretty good, but still had some... More

Seems most people come for the bar as it was packed more than the dining room. They had very good rolls to begin the meal, but they were served cold. Heating them in the oven would have made them delicious. Appetizers are small. Wait staff is slow. Food is good. They make their own ice cream. That was delicious. Tables... More

My boyfriend took me to the Green Monkey for my birthday. It was by far the best food I have had. He had a roasted beef dish that was glazed in a Bourbon blueberry sauce (so good) and I have pan-seared sea scallops in a glaze. Absolutely incredible. The owner of the restaurant was out in the open to help... More

Ate at the Green Monkey last evening to celebrate my husband's birthday. Because I have many dietary limitations restaurant dining can be a challenge. Not so here. They easily worked with me to find and or create an appetizer and entree that I could eat AND that was something different than my usual fare. (Frequently I have to order steak... More
