Michael and Peter Labrie of Rye, proprietors of the popular River House Restaurant known for its casual dining overlooking Portsmouth Harbor, opened their second year-round restaurant, Atlantic Grill in November 2014 at Foyes Corner in nearby Rye, NH. The family business includes classic seafood favorites complemented by contemporary dishes by offering a mix of comfort food, healthy options, seafo
od, and local products. The architecture of the new restaurant has been referred to as "coastal classic" and accommodates dining in the lounge, outside on the patoi and in the large private event facility. And, as with all their endeavors, The Atlantic Grill continues the family's longtime love and support for the arts. Michael and Peter grew up in a family involved in the community; their grandmother Rose Labrie was a Naïve Art painter who was one of the founders of Prescott Park Arts Festival. In 2009, even before they opened their first restaurant, they sought out PPAF and made a commitment to sponsor their Wednesday night Concert Series. The response was tremendous and next they approached The Music Hall, where they have been season sponsors for many years. The Atlantic Grill also supports Seacoast Science Center's popular outdoor concert series, Music by the Sea.
