Chef Evan Mallet is making magic at The Black Trumpet in Portsmouth. His family-owned bistro and wine bar in the heart of the city's historic port serves up perfection on a plate using the freshest seasonal ingredients. When a restaurant gets as much buzz as The Black Trumpet does, it's best to book a table. Often.

And we are making that easy for you. This is a $250 gift certificate to this fine restaurant. Enjoy your meal in the first floor dining room, which offers a cozy, romantic setting and warm, unassuming service. Or head upstairs to the wine bar, a more intimate, convivial space enlivened by conversation and a great atmosphere.

The menu here changes regularly to capitalize on the freshest available seasonal ingredients. You never know what the chef will offer next. But you always know it will be delicious.
