Our Story

The Restaurant
Buckley’s on the Water is thrilled to splash down under the ownership of Michael Timothy’s Dining Group, with a goal of bringing exceptional dining and hospitality to another location along the beloved Seacoast. With a portfolio that includes destinations like Surf Seafood, Buckley’s Market & Café, The Rosa, and Buckley's Burgers & Steaks on the Seacoast, as well as staples in the communities of Southern NH - where the original Surf Seafood was born on Main St in Nashua NH, alongside Buckely's Great Steaks in Merrimack, NH, a full service bakery next door to that - and most recently, the launch of Lost Cowboy Brewing also in Nashua. The group brings decades of experience, passion, and a proven commitment to quality.
​​
Michael Timothy’s Dining Group has built a legacy defined by standout cuisine, warm hospitality, and a deep connection to the local community. That legacy continues with Buckley’s on the Water, where award-winning chefs, thoughtfully sourced ingredients, and elevated culinary techniques come together in a setting that celebrates the beauty of the waterfront.
​
You can expect everything you have come to love about the Buckley’s name with a fresh, coastal perspective. From expertly prepared steaks to the freshest seafood, every dish reflects the group’s dedication and consistency. Paired with sweeping harbor views and an inviting atmosphere, Buckley’s on the Water offers a dining experience that Portsmouth deserves to enjoy.
