I love this restaurant for its quiet atmosphere and excellent service. The menu is not exciting, but the tables are spaced far apart to allow for privacy in conversation. We are never rushed, and the view of the Harbour is lovely.

Stay away! There is a reason this place is empty on a Friday night! First, they had no steak, even though they are a steak and seafood restaurant. The service was terrible! The server had no idea what he was doing and a simple meal took forever! The food we finally got was not worth the money. Next, they have a full bar but only serve basic American beer like bud and Miller and offer one red wine that tastes like grape juice. Last, they cannot make a kiddie cocktail (aka Shirley Temple). We will never return to this restaurant!Kid-friendliness: It is not kid friendly! It took too long and the options for kids were very limited. Do not bring your kids here.

I ordered meatball pasta and garlic bread. The food was good, but nothing special or amazing. But I like the interior design and decoration of the dinning space. The staffs were doing their jobs very efficiently, I met a waitress called Helen, she was so friendly and helpful, that night she was not busy so I had a nice chat with her and another customer. It was a great dining experience and I revisited this restaurant on next day noon, although the food can still be improved a little bit more.

Food was fine and well cooked but nothing special and seemed mediocre in terms of quality of ingredients (Eggs, potatoes, sausage and French toast). Coffee was weak and nearly water. The restaurant needs a major cleaning. The chairs are cool and fit the ambiance of the old hotel but the cloth arms are super gross. Our waitress was the best part- very friendly, warm, attentive and kind.

The Portside Restaurant serves excellent food for a great price. If you like a place that you can get good value then this is it. Not only is the atmosphere very nice but you can actually talk while eating. Some restaurants the noise level is so high you practically have to shout but not at Portside. They make delicious homemade fries and have a very nice soup and salad bar luncheon during the week as well as a daily soup and sandwich special. On weekends they have a delicious brunch with Finnish pancakes (while you wait).

Worst experience! Took 20 minutes to get coffee!! I ordered a clubhouse with no lettuce and no tomato... I am allergic to tomatos. When I received it, it was warm at best and upon picking up the second piece of sandwhich there was tomato pieces and seeds under it. Called the waitress over and told her she remade the sandwhich, which I said I would not eat and let her know it could have killed me. No apology, no manager came over, no chef... they did take it off the bill though. I will never go back!!
