The Franklin

American restaurant · Portsmouth

"From Matt Louis — also the chef/owner at local favorite, Moxy’s — this raw bar offers a bounty of New England oysters, as well as some from Canada and Washington. Don’t miss the house-made charcuterie or Happy Hour, Monday-Sunday from 4 to 6 p.m., when select oysters are $2 a pop." - Celina Colby, Kate McCarty
