Green Monkey Restaurant Closes for Good

The new owners are renovating the space.

The Green Monkey restaurant, which operated in downtown Portsmouth for the last decade, has closed for good.

Owner Deb Gootee-Weeks sold the restaurant, which served new American-style food.


"Thank you to everyone who has supported the Green Monkey and made it what it is the last 10 years," she said last week.

The new ownership includes a master chef, Gootee-Weeks said. The building on Tuesday was being renovated, and the new owners are expected to release more details about the space in the coming weeks.

Gootee-Weeks said she will take some time off.

"When I come back, I have some new ventures planned," she said.
