"Till then I'm waiting in the port of lonely hearts
Watchin' for your topsail on the sea
Prayin' that my ship of love will come
To the port of lonely hearts where I will be"
(Johnny Cash)
Zero complaints at all about Port Bistro & Pub.
The food and service were great, and I want to acknowledge our server Christine, who was a real joy to interact with.
We stopped in for a Friday lunch. I ordered a salad and one of the soup specials. My Burrata Salad was $14 for a big portion of mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and basil topped with a big hunk of burrata cheese, roasted peppers and a balsamic glaze. The salad was excellent, especially the creamy decadent Burrata. Half of it came home with us.
My soup was a cup of Mediterranean Lentil for $6. It came in a bowl-sized portion with a big hunk of fresh Italian bread. Both were great, and I loved how the soup was served piping hot and not tepidly lukewarm like so many places serve their soups.
My wife ordered an Eggplant Parmigiana Flatbread, and this is where Christine displayed her customer service skills. She told us the restaurant had run out of Eggplant the night before and ran back to the kitchen to see if there was a new supply ready for today. She came back and said it hadn't been fully prepped yet, so it wasn't available, but would we like to try Cauliflower Parmigiana instead?
That sounded intriguing to us, and we agreed. The flatbread that came out ($16) was delicious. Big nuggets of sauteed Cauliflower with cheese and marinara sauce on a flatbread. It tasted so good, we vowed to try making our own Cauliflower Parm at home.
Lunch ran around $40 after tax and tip, and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience at the Port Bistro & Pub.Helpful 5Thanks 1Love this 8Oh no 0 - Joe J.New York, NY04Apr 17, 2024
Kris and crew did a fabulous job with my daughter's engagement party. Food was fantastic and the service was exceptional. Would highly recommend not just for a party but also for dinner. Live Music and great bar.

Came here for Mothers Day Brunch and had a great time!
Keep in mind for anyone reading previous reviews, Port Bistro just reopened after a remodel so I believe they took this time to perfect things elsewhere as well.
We were greeted right away and wanted to listen to the live music (Acoustic Hand & JC) so we sat ourselves down in the bar area. Service was very attentive and not annoying. Great job!
For food, we started with the Mac & Cheese bites which were served warm and SO delicious! Crispy outside and tasty marinara sauce to dip.
I am very picky about my acai bowls, but this one passed the test. The display was very cute and then I mixed together the ingredients myself. All plates were left empty :)
Hope to see this business only grow from here!Helpful 0Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 1 - Kathryn G.New York, NY02Mar 9, 2024

After a beautiful Saturday here on our island, my friend offered an evening in Port.Parking was super simple even though those meters are ALOT(I get the process though)...not pricey,just a longer amount of typing than other meters I have experienced..no biggie just saying.
We walked in and were immediately seated without a reservation.
My friends,friends band was playing and I was in the tropics within my mind the melodies were great.The waiter was polite,cute too but polite and we really felt relaxed.My friend wanted lobster ravioli which must be a popular item..they had sold out.A polite apology was made and my friend chose Burrata ravioli. I decided upon a Nashville chicken sandwich which was out of this world.From the toasted brioche bun to the spices and crispness,the pictures that I had seen on YELP did this Sammy justice.My friend quickly devoured her ravioli and was pleased with her replacement dish.
I liked that after we finished our meal our table was not rushed to get up.We enjoyed our cocktails with leisure.I didn't realize my cc had expired and was embarrassed, the waiter was very kind and we fixed the issue immediately.
Nice location and next time I'd like to have a few more courses.Helpful 13Thanks 1Love this 13Oh no 1 - Michele M.Holbrook, NY0212Dec 30, 2023
I'm so confused by the terrible reviews I read about this place! I went in today with my family, and we had a very enjoyable lunch. The food was excellent, the staff was pleasant and welcoming, and the environment was family-friendly. We'll definitely be back!

3.5 stars - get the starter sampler. The portions are huge.
STARTER SAMPLER
Here you get a mix of different things like the fried mac and cheese, fried rice balls (arrancini) with a marinara sauce and these were satisfyingly crumbly, cheesy, and enjoyable. Do I feel that they could have been frozen items that were oven-reheated? Possibly. With the char marks and the cheese oozing from small defects of the bottom, it's giving me oven-toasted energy. Were they still kind of yummy though? Yeah
CHICKEN PASTA
The portions are huge for the pasta, I'll give them that. Definitely boxed pasta, with a cream sauce that could have been bolder flavor-wise, with not dry but not juicy pieces of chicken either.
I would probably come back here for a drink and some appetizers.Helpful 0Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 0
