“Delayed opening in Portsmouth NH today while we repair our window,” the post said. “Unexpected visitor 6/20 7am while we were preparing to open. No guests in the building!”
The restaurant, which is located on Congress Street in the heart of downtown Portsmouth, said the deer and all employees are OK.
