Port 305 Starts Strong

Published on Wednesday, June 30, 2010, by Joyce Slaton / Edit Post

CocoDan has a policy of never going to a new restaurant for a few months in order to give the kinks time to work themselves out. But he just so happened to be at Port 305 during the first hour it was open, and he declares that "this place is hot, and will be the haunt of choice for those that can't stay away from the waterfront."

Port 305 is owned by Kristie Henriksen of Siros and has a similar vibe: resorty, upscale, black-and-white, a big bar with incredible views of the water, covered outdoor seating.

The menu has an American comfort food vibe: tuna melt, mac 'n' cheese, chicken wings, steak. Dan's party had the fried clams with french fries and an Asian-influenced coleslaw, and lobster sliders with barbecued baked beans.

"I definitely recommend it, but get there soon before the summer crowds discover it," says Pegmeister.

    As I write this at 1:00 am My wife and I are taking turns getting sick from our meal.
    Cajun Surf & turf and Baked Haddock.

    We were part of a party of 18 on Kentucky Derby Night in the rain and sat
    on the enclosed exterior porch with a reservation made days in advance.

    The staff was sending smokers out onto the enclosed exterior porch within 5 feet of our table. We complained on two separate occasions during the meal and the waitstaff could not get anyone to address the issue. No one ever came to our table to address the problem.

    The service was slow, and once the food arrived it took a good 10 + minutes for everyone at the table to get there food so we could start eating our cold Entree.

    I understand this is the same ownership as Siros it was agreed that we would never return.-COLLAPSE
