about moxy

Moxy is a downtown Portsmouth restaurant where dinner is meant to be shared. Order a few plates, try something unexpected, grab another round, and see where the night goes. Our menu draws inspiration from local farmers, fishmongers, and New England ingredients, with our own take on modern American flavors.

Come in for a cocktail and a few bites or settle in and make a night of it. Moxy is casual, creative, and never too serious, with great food and thoughtful service at the center of it all.
