Raleigh Wine Bar + Eatery

Interesting and creative menu. Outdoor seating is great: many tables, views of the bridge, shady at dinner time from the building. I had a pressed pig head, which was soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. The mushrooms with quiche and potato was my main entree, and I liked it. Ginger cake with cranberries was delicious. The service was attentive and friendly.

Came here during restaurant week and it did not disappoint! For the first dish I got the Crispy Pig Head green tomato conserva and this was on of the best dishes I have ever had! The pork was delicious and paired perfectly with the Dijon misted on it. The second dish I got was Pork Belly + Clam Stew which was also great and had a nice broth accompanying the protein. For the dessert portion I tried the dessert soup out of curiosity and it was tasty but would have just preferred a regular apple crisp over a watery version. Overall the trip was excellent the server was great and the environment in bright and welcoming. I definitely plan to go back.

The first time I came to this establishment was due to a Groupon which was offering dance classes for couples. I loved it and the hall was so big. I recommended it to my cousin for my neice sweet 17. I was so amazed to see how the new owners had made it even more beautiful. Everyone who worked their was so friendly and attentive. I was told they offer brunch and I have to come back to experience more than just dancing lol. I can't wait. If ever your in the area I definitely recommend this place. Let me know what you guys think. #vegan-ish💋

We went there during restaurant week so it was a very limited menu. I had the mussels as an appetizer and the cod as main course. Both were very flavorful. They have a very nice outdoor patio that overlooks the bridge.

Raleigh offers on of the best outdoor dining experiences in Portsmouth when the weather's cooperative. Always a great spot for drinks, small plates and desserts. This particular visit we had outdoor reservations but chose to eat inside since the weather report was off and it wasn't as nice as anticipated. They regularly rotate the menu so you can always find new things to try but can be worth checking the menu beforehand to ensure you'll find something you like because what you loved last time might not be on the menu next time you visit. The staff is excellent and very knowledgeable of both the menu and wine / beverage pairings. Definitely take advantage of their expertise. Overall Raleigh is a great spot to start or end your night in downtown Portsmouth.

The poached hen egg is truly one of the best things you’ll put in your mouth in this town. The food at Raleigh is exceptionally good. Small menu delivers on everything - fresh, delicious, and perfectly prepared. I’m not much of a wine person, but can vouch for the cocktails which are excellent. The ambiance is casual yet elevated. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Honestly not sure why this place isn’t packed every single night. Then again, I’m glad it’s not…

We love this place and go often. The menu is small and the food is simple, creative and high quality (I always get the cheese board!), cocktails are excellent, and a nice selection of beer and wine. The small staff is attentive, warm, and knowledgeable. People watching inside and out is great. One of my favorite spots in town.

Great little wine bar with a cute market attached. We had the cheese plate and the venison, which were both amazing. I really appreciated the knowledgeable servers who were able to talk about the wine on the menu. I also loved that I could go buy the bottle of wine in the market that I had tried in the restaurant! Looking forward to coming back again.
