Portside Waterfront

We had a lovely meal with superb service. The food drinks came very quickly. The drinks were delicious. I really enjoyed the peach Bellini and my husband had the blueberry mule which was also delicious. The bang bang shrimp 🍤 also fantastic! I will say the seafood Alfredo is massive and we really should have just split one. The serving was huge and arrived in a cast iron skillet. We really enjoyed our meal! Call ahead for seating if you want to lower your wait time. They also do musical bingo at the bar on select nights.

Had dinner there last night with friends. The food was good. The drinks were decent. We got a nice table outside and our waitress Gabby was AWESOME. I cannot say enough about how great she was. However, I cannot say the same for the two VERY rude hostesses at the top of the stairs when we walked in. They acted completely annoyed with us and really just couldn't be bothered to be nice let alone smile. Every time we had a question about seating they seemed almost mad at us. Really awful. The owners should consider new hostesses who actually want to greet people at the door or they should consider a course in customer service for these two women.

Very disappointed in the experience today. We have been going to this location throughout all the transitions. Just a great spot. We have spent special days here and it used to mean a lot to us. Today, we were greeted with a “do you have a reservation?” When we said no, we were told that we could only sit at a high top by the bar even though the big deck was empty and the bar deck had the only occupied tables in the entire restaurant (a total of three tables filled). We were told that the decks were completely booked for the day. Another older couple were sat next to us. We overheard them complaining that they couldn’t get a deck table. We were there for an hour. In that time only 4 more parties came in and were all sat on the deck - hardly “full” with 15 tables available. Then, as we left, we saw a young couple come in and were asked by the hostess if they wanted to be sat on the deck. Optics were NOT GOOD! Not sure what happened, but felt awful after being rejected a seat on the deck that we have frequented often over the years. We were told by our waitstaff that we would have to make a reservation a week in advance. If you are trying to hype the experience, it backfired. The food was mediocre. The decks are what draws. If you make that an exclusive retreat, then we will not come back. There are other restaurants with comparable or better food and better deck space where a person can drop in for an en experience. Others like the other older couple who sat with us in the empty bar will not be back. It is just sad. Good luck with your business “strategy.”

I took my father here to celebrate his birthday. On a positive note our waitress was very pleasant. I'm not one to complain but once I read some previous reviews I realized we had a similar experience. Unfortunately the blonde hostess at the top of the stairs was unaccommodating. We asked if we could sit outside on the deck and we were told that there was nothing available even though on Sunday afternoon the whole deck was empty except for a couple tables that were occupied. The hostess said we could sit at a high top in the bar area. We were told a bunch of reservations were coming in within a half hour and an hour later there were still tables available on the deck. Two gentlemen that were sitting at the bar asked if they could sit outside instead and the bar tender said no problem and to check with the hostess. The hostess then preceded to sit the gentlemen at one of the tables on the deck that we originally inquired about. We had a similar situation happen with the same hostess in the past and decided to give it another chance. Now we know why this place was empty on a beautiful afternoon. We will never come back.
