Black Trumpet

I would give this a 4.5. I absolutely loved my paella with rabbit, chicken meatball, and snails. Absolutely delicious. My husband loved his steak and celery root mash. We also tried the spicy mushroom appetizer. Don't make our mistake of ordering the chef meze plate for an appetizer though. We assumed it was a compilation of three of the listed appetizers, but it was not. On it came our least favorite part of the night which was a fried fish ball, which was too heavily fried for our liking. Our table wasn't quite ready when we got there for our reservation, and it took a while for our server to initially greet us. Despite these things, I would highly recommend this restaurant for a high end meal.

What a perfect little place.. Very quaint, simply awesome ambiance, lots of charm.. Brace yourself for a palate explosion. Chef isn't afraid to prepare sinful richness into every dish. Turns Brussel Sprouts into tantalizing deliciousness that words cannot describe. Salt brings out the intense flavors, cardamom cleverly disguised to create confusion and bliss! Simply put, it's INSANE!! Don't miss out while in Portsmouth. Stroll down the alley, feel as though you're in a small old port (wait you really are!) Find the mustard yellow doors and be prepared to be blown away!

Wonderful meal in a very relaxed environment. The menu choices were very creative as were the cocktails. Go off the beaten path and try this place out.

Very Good restaurant. Waiting time is little long but once you get there it worth the wait. Food is fresh and delicious good drinks. Price is a bit high but you really get what you pay for. The Atmosphere is great .
