    To watch Jimmy Hopper a $20/person was added to bill. Which would be fine if they told you in advance. A credit card fee was attached. It’s been 3-4 years since we’ve been there. Maybe a change of ownership or management. Bring a couple wallets, you’ll need it.

    I love the Port Restaurant! Cool place to hang out and enjoy food, drinks, friends, conversation. We usually come early around 5:30pm then walk around the corner to the New Port Theater to watch a movie. Always enjoy the food, service and ambiance of the restaurant. However, since we always arrive early, we're usually the first or second customers and it seems that every time, the staff turns up the recorded music very loud. The food and drinks are still good, we still enjoy our friends, but the music is so loud we can't hear each other talk. Makes absolutely no sense to have the music that loud when there's only customers at one or two tables. Of course, we always ask staff to turn the music down, and they do. But, why should we have to ask? Anyway, I highly recommend the Port Restaurant.

    The most fun we have had in a long time. Candace and Steve Clark were awesome. We laughed, danced and drank the most delicious grapefruit cocktails.

    Was surprised to see a $30 entertainment charge on my bill. (Jimmy Hopper was performing). That should have been made known to the customers when booking or before being seated. Hopper was great, by the way. Also, automatic gratuity of 20% was added with the opportunity to give more.
