A lot of us here in New England have grown an affinity for fresh seafood, seeing as we live next to an ocean and all. Living off the sea has been a way of life here for centuries. Seafood eateries abound along the state's seacoast, but for fans of fresh oysters, there's one seafood restaurant in Portsmouth that you should definitely visit.
The Franklin in downtown Portsmouth serves up a progressive and steadily-changing menu. All of their dishes are made using local and sustainable ingredients.
The restaurant opened in 2015 under owner Jay McSharry's leadership. The chef and co-owner is Matt Louis. Both are award-winning restaurateurs.
The Franklin is known for their oysters, the signature item on the menu. These delicacies are harvested right here in New England.
For a private event, The Franklin offers space for up to 34 guests, perfect for business meetings or casual get-togethers with family and friends.
Visit The Franklin to celebrate a birthday or other special event with some oysters! Gift certificates are available for any occasion.
