    Had Christmas dinner last night with my boyfriend. Amazing service and ambience at the restaurant. Hostess Taylor was all smiles great, greeted us promptly. Maya was our personable server and bartender making us beautiful drinks and mock-tails too. The food big portions and delicious. The owner Ali went to all the tables checking on us to see how our experience was. The live music was the cherry on top with George Fryer and his band. Been playing there 12 years. We originally had reservations at Sol they had an hour wait even with our reservation and it was too loud at the restaurant so we came here last minute and are so glad we did. This is our new favorite place. Highly recommend and supporting a small business that’s been around for 17 years makes us extra happy to be a part of helping out. Will be telling all our friends about this hidden gym.

    To watch Jimmy Hopper a $20/person was added to bill. Which would be fine if they told you in advance. A credit card fee was attached. It’s been 3-4 years since we’ve been there. Maybe a change of ownership or management. Bring a couple wallets, you’ll need it.

    I love the Port Restaurant! Cool place to hang out and enjoy food, drinks, friends, conversation. We usually come early around 5:30pm then walk around the corner to the New Port Theater to watch a movie. Always enjoy the food, service and ambiance of the restaurant. However, since we always arrive early, we're usually the first or second customers and it seems that every time, the staff turns up the recorded music very loud. The food and drinks are still good, we still enjoy our friends, but the music is so loud we can't hear each other talk. Makes absolutely no sense to have the music that loud when there's only customers at one or two tables. Of course, we always ask staff to turn the music down, and they do. But, why should we have to ask? Anyway, I highly recommend the Port Restaurant.

    The most fun we have had in a long time. Candace and Steve Clark were awesome. We laughed, danced and drank the most delicious grapefruit cocktails.
