Customer Reviews
I stumbled upon The Port Oysteria & Brewery when scrolling Google Maps to discover restaurants and spontaneously went with a coworker after work. Surprisingly, there was no wait (we’re used to lines when going out after work) and service was both friendly and quick. A live musician played popular hits on his instruments then switched to singing after his break. The menu was a small booklet that offered many items we were interested in but did confuse at first due to inconsistency with each menu (changes out of order, in different orders.) We ordered the crab dip and fries appetizers, both arrived hot and delicious that we devoured quickly. We got a half dozen oysters, and regretted not ordering more. Then came our entrees of the crab cakes and scallop curry. The crab cakes were exactly as
I surprised to know that had Happy hour on Sunday. The food was amazing the crab and shrimp dip is an absolute. Must have. I ordered the fried oysters and shrimp with fries as my main course and couldn't finish it. The service good I am definitely returning.
If I could give this place 0 stars I would. Keep in mind I went here around 9:45 They close at 11pm. We were going in with not a lot of expectations but at least a little something than what we got. We get there and from the jump they said that they can only serve fried foods (which is interesting). We quickly order our drinks which is WATERED DOWN. Then we proceed to order Salad with salmon and shrimp (the waitress didn’t even know the kitchen could do ) so at this point we order truffle fries. They give us the truffle fries in like 5 minutes WITHOUT shredding the cheese or even completely melting it. Then as we start to eat all you hear is workers cursing around us talking about they are not on the clock. Please be mindful that there is still a WHOLE HOUR before closing. Then when I wave
I have been here 3 separate times with the last 6 months and each time was seriously not great. So the hosts/wait staff are amazing. Food itself is usually pretty good in taste/flavor. But everything in between is absolutely crap. Food/Drink items, they are constantly out of and you aren’t made aware of until after you order and have been waiting for a moment. Food/drinks always being brought to the wrong tables. Or double up orders which I guess can be a happy accident (most of the time it seems to be alcohol drinks that are doubled up) The oysters are amazing according to my boyfriend but every entree doesn’t even come close. 2/3 times we’ve been here a manager is constantly making rounds either listening to complaints or checking the quality of things. As I’m writing this we’ve been her
Stopped by on a Saturday for lunch. We hadn't been here before so we decided to give it a try. They weren't busy, so we were seated right away, and our drink order was taken promptly. A few minutes later the drinks arrived and we ordered our food. From there, it went downhill in a big way. A lobster grilled cheese sandwich and fish tacos should never take 45 minutes to serve! To be fair, the food was okay. Not great but okay. If it had been served in a relatively timely fashion, I probably would have just thought it was an off day. After reading other reviews it seems that slow service is more common than not. Once we were finally served, it took quite some time for our server to bring the bill. When she finally did bring it, we handed her the card before she could leave the
