Portside Waterfront Kitchen & Bar

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.

The outside deck here is lovely. There is a nice view of the harbor and of Rt. 1. The live music by Joe Mack was great. Our grilled veggie Flatbread was delicious. My wife's sushi was ok, and my mussels were delightful. Portions were ample; overall food was very good; drinks were superb and our service was mediocre. This was a nice evening out.

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.
