    Excellent dining experience! Our server Kyle was very attentive and our table was in a quiet corner. I had the filet mignon which was perfectly cooked and so tender. My husband had the special - pressed short rib. Sides were mashed potato and onion rings. OMG - these were the best onion rings we have ever had!! We can’t wait to come back.

    We've eaten many times at The Port and it's always been great. The menu has lots of "comfort" food but often with an innovative twist. Our server, Charlie, is amazing. She's very outgoing with always just the right amount of friendly interaction.

    Disappointing. Onion rings were inedible - sent them back and server returned saying, yes there was a problem with them - tasted as if they had been cooked in rancid oil. Fries with meal were cold - sent back and received fresh ones. Steak was bland. Roast beef meal was lukewarm. Another table expressed similar views on their food.

    While we love the patio experience in the summer, The Port has managed to create a warm and inviting experience for dining inside over the cooler months. Great ambiance, interesting menu, delicious food and great service.
