Jumpin' Jay's Fish Café

Great restaurant! First thing I noticed is the happiness of the employees o thing but smiles. Everyone working helped each other and they seemed to be a team who enjoys working with each other because of that our service was impeccable. From drinks to the food everything was delicious. We started with fried calamari cooked perfectly, we had warm rolls served with soft butter ,roasted garlic and olives. We ordered the salmon and monk fish both cooked with so much flavor and the presentation was beautiful. Then for dessert we ordered the banana cake new on the menu I’m not a sweet eater but this was perfect not too sweet…..definitely everyone should visit this restaurant.

Great seafood, great service. Loved it !

Not fresh horrible wont return tell raymond shut his mouth dnt mess with my livelihood

Probably one of the most professionally run and consistent seafood restaurants I have ever been to. I have lived in New England my whole life and I am 50.

Table ready right on time, as reserved. Service was excellent. Cocktails were delicious. Raw oysters were lovely, with explanations of their origin. Swordfish was overcooked (dry). Linguini with clams had 2 clams (yes, apparently 2 allowed a restaurant to use a nouns plural form). Tasted like I was eating macaroni & cheese with 2 clams. So heavy, so disappointing. Frostbite salad tasted like it had straight orange juice for dressing (although the menu says it was supposed to be a ginger mandarin, it was overwhelmingly orange). We'll find an alternative dining option when next in Portsmouth.

Best all around experience we have had in a very long time. Wonderful service (Marilu), great drinks and fantastic food. All four of us loved the 3 apps we shared, the entrees and dessert. Fresh seafood without the fishy smell. The smells were just yummy. We highly recommend this place when in the Portsmouth area.

Great service and even greater food.

One of the best meals I have ever had. The Oyster were shucked well, no cuts on the belly or pieces of shell and the liquid was still inside. The swordfish and scallops were cooked perfectly.

The food was excellent. We dined on a Tuesday, which happened to be a buck an oyster. Fresh and delicious! I had the monkfish. The taste was very lobsterlike. Excellent food and good service too.

Excellently prepared seafood. For both the tuna and scallops, just the perfect level of heat (not raw or well done) which is not easy. Creative cocktails and excellent service from the whole staff. Minimalist, funky decor.
