    Salmon and shaved beef were ordered at our table, along with truffle fries and Caesar salad. All were excellent. We will definitely return. Staff were all very pleasant

    Lovely opportunity for conversation and excellent food. Our server knew when to give us time and when to inquire if we needed something else. Look forward to outside summer serve. Thanks

    Our best endorsement of the Port Tavern is that it's become our go-to restaurant: the food is always excellent, the staff are both friendly and professional and the overall ambience is very comfortable. In total they provide a high quality experience without the pretension so often associated with restaurants who to try to present themselves as chic or classy. Shout outs to our server last night, Isaac and the hostess Charlie - thanks again guys!
    The Port TavernResponded on April 28, 2025

    What a great place to have dinner with friends or your loved one. Food was fantastic quiet enough to hear your dinner partner (s). Can’t wait to get out on the patio this summer. Our server was very good. Attentive but not hovering around often yeti look after our needs.

    We enjoyed our meal and had four little ones with us under 4 years old. Our server was kind enough to get the kids’ meals quickly so they could begin eating, and was able to bring out our appetizers and meals in perfect time. Overall, a very nice experience. Great food!
