Brunch in Portsmouth?

Meeting a friend for brunch in Portsmouth. I've searched this board, and blue pesce and isis are 2 restaurants mentioned. The menu on blue pesce website looks great, and prices are a bit high but not unreasonable. A couple of posters mention how expensive isis is for dinner -- anyone know what price range is for brunch? Any thoughts on which has better brunch? Other restaurants suggestions? Thanks.

    I've been to a restaurant in Portsmouth called Molly MacGuires (? not sure of the last name spelling) many years ago. Does anybody know if they're still around? Thanks!

      Abercrombie and Finch in North Hampton (Rte 1) has a fantastic brunch but it's not right in Portsmouth.

      The Friendly Toast is not brunch per se but alot of fun and its a great breakfast and tremendous local color.

        Radici, which is under new ownership, just started serving brunch 4-6 weeks ago. The bloody Mary bar is a nice touch and IMO the food there is always good. www.radicirestaurant.com

          If you want to go down the road at bit to Hampton, NH, you'll get a wonderful brunch and a real deal at Old Salt. About $15/pp. Need reservations.

          If you're OK with a casual environment, you should check out the Friendly Toast. It's a quirky, fun environment and the food is good. I couldn't find a web site for them,but there are plenty of online reviews and newspaper mentions.
