In addition to their regular offerings, the Malletts offer wine dinners that may be based on a region or a single vintner but that are always interesting. The people who attend are a fun mix of professionals from the beverage and food realms, plus locals who like wine and those who just trust Chef Evan and his associates to do... More

The atmosphere is great and intimate, the food is exquisitely prepared and absolutely excellent. I had a fantastic cream of truffle soup and incredible scallops. This is one of the best meals I've had in Portsmouth.
