Reviews for Purple Urchin Restaurant in Hampton, NH
Had dinner here on a busy Friday night. The staff was very friendly, helpful and attentive. The food was fantastic, and the best... part was the view of the concert across the street from our patio seats at the Purple Urchin. Read more
Food was good, quite pricy since it is seafood and the restaurant is located at the center. Nice view by the window and chill... atmosphere. The cocktails tasted average but were $12, somewhat more than expected. Photos are Lobster mac and cheese which camewith a nice portion of lobster, and the scallops plating was pretty. The appetizer was bang bang shrimp and maybe it was becausewe had a flavorful appetizer at the start, the entrees tasted quite bland. Overall, nice restaurant to go to if thinking of abeach date.

It was so nice to eat right across from the Sea Shell stage and listen to the music while we eat with beautiful ocean views. The... fried seafood was a little lack luster and could have benefited from some citrus to brighten it. Service was ok- good came fast,but we waited quite a while for our check. Glad we went, but I'll be eager to try some different spots next time. Read more
Perfect place for a day date! We were able to sit at the bar over looking the strip and beach area which was awesome! I ordered... a mojito with the avocado toast. Both were excellent! The toast was crispy and buttery and had a thick layer of avocado. Thesalad it came with was very good as well. I loved the corn in it and will now be adding corn to the salads I make at home! Sograteful we stopped here and will be back, highly recommend! Read more
Went to dinner here last night. It sucked that it was rainy (what's new) and it kind of ruined the experience of eating with the... windows open along the beach but I can't blame the restaurant for the weather. I absolutely love the variety on the menu as itranges from fresh seafood to burgers to sandwiches. We ordered the Coconut Shrimp as an appetizer and it was delicious. Probablythe best I've ever had seeing that I'm not a huge coconut fan. I ordered the Shrimp Po-boy. I was very impressed with thequality of the shrimp and the baguette. The sandwich was enormous. I thought they may have a used a bit too much of whatever thespicy sauce was but it didn't deter me from enjoying my meal. My partner was being lame and she ordered the chicken fingers sothere's no need to write on a review on them. The service was a bit average as they seemed understaffed but I certainly cannotblame them for that with what's going on. I recommend eating here if you're in the area. Read more
The location and view are great! The food was average for the price. We had a burger and nachos. The nachos were cold when I got... them(the cheese had hardened already). Our server was nice, just not fast and didn't check on us between taking our order andbringing us our check. Read more
Travellers, the purple urchin is located in the middle of downtown Hampton beach directly across from the seashell stage. The... upstairs patio is roomy and gives the diner a lot of opportunity to watch the street below. The food was very good and wellprepared. The Caesar salad was delicious and so was the baked seafood plate. The seafood was perfectly cooked and delicious. Thesides were boring and lacking in seasoning, but it was a nice restaurant that offered more than fried seafood baskets andburgers. Check it out. We recommend. Read more
