Came in on a Thursday night, service was great and the food was also fantastic. Waitress we had was perfect and the one of the best cocktails we had in a while. Definitely will be coming back again. Very nice view on the lake, can't wait to experience it in the summer!

Love everything about this place - location, food, drinks, views. This has to be my favourite place in the whole of Durham Region. Definitely a must visit.———Make sure you make a reservation before you go and arrive early as the parking space is limited. It can get pretty crowded over the weekends.

I would love to start this review by saying if I were to rate my experience here as 10/10, it would be a huge understatement. It was 100000/10. It was my first time going to Port and when I arrived, I thought both the outside and inside looked absolutely beautiful. I can only imagine what the patio looks like in the summer time so will definitely be back to see for myself. I was celebrating my birthday with a group of girlfriends. The restaurant has an upscale feel for special occasions but not too overly priced in comparison to downtown Toronto restaurant options. *Please skip ahead if you just want to know about food.My server Julian M did a PHENOMENAL job. He took very good care of the group. Our drinks/water were always topped up, he made recommendations from the menu, and most importantly, moved us to a better table when we saw a nicer one available. I didn't think anything was wrong with my first table but little did I know that some of my closest friends were working together with Julian to help my bf propose to me! I can't thank Julian and his manager enough for making my night a magical one that will stick with me for the rest of my life!!! I will seriously consider having my wedding festivities here because of the great service.Even if it wasn't for this amazing moment, I would highly recommend this restaurant. The drinks were great (I enjoyed a Rosé and some Champagne). The food was incredible. Our table enjoyed the Pesto Prawn, Atlantic Salmon, California Cut Striploin 10oz, the Rib Eye, Fried Chicken Sandwich and Truffle Mushroom Pizza (some more from the group ordered the same meals). All of us were really happy with these dishes because of their flavour and portion sizes. For dessert I recommend the brownie with ice cream and caramel sauce on top. It was decadent and very tasty. (See photos uploaded with this review).Overall, this location is gorgeous, the ambiance is fantastic, the music was great, the pricing of the menu has a good range/is affordable, the staff are beyond amazing, the restaurant is very clean and the food is incredible. FYI, it is opened past 9pm. Do yourself a favour and try this restaurant out. It is a Durham Gem!

Lovely gem by the water with a great view if you're sitting on the patio. Even indoor is lovely and spacious.Food and service was excellent. Good sized menu for food and drinks.There is limited parking in their lot however, they do have an overflow lot across the street before you turn into the restaurant.

Had an amazing experience tonight. Food was tasty and the restaurant itself is great. I ordered the Maple Bourbon Salmon and a White Sangria and my boyfriend ordered the Cod Cioppino and a Rum Punch. We also shared the Sizzling Garlic Prawns. All of it tasted AMAZING - especially the foccacia that came with our starter!The service is the main reason I am leaving a review. Denise (hopefully that is her name, I am terrible at remembering names and this is the name that was on my receipt) made my night. This is hands down the BEST service I have received EVER. She was very friendly, attentive to detail and just gave overall positive vibes. She comped our appetizer as our mains were “taking so long” which didn’t even feel like we waited a long time and she honestly did not have to do that but again, she is an amazing server. 5 stars alone JUST for her service. It’s people like her that just brighten your life.

I was recently here for my birthday and had a great time! Beautiful views of the water and the restaurant itself is beautiful. The food was delicious, the Prosciutto flatbread was SO good and soft, the Andouille Sausage Agnolotti was absolutely amazing. Everything was flavourful and seasoned well and service was great. Overall 10/10!

Visited for my boyfriends birthday just us two for a 6pm reservation. It was a first for the both of us and we will certainly be returning.The restaurant itself is small yet spacious with high ceilings. The food was Delish- we had the fried chicken sandwich which was very tender and flavourful, along with the sausage fettuccine which was amazing.If you’re looking for a sweeter cocktail, the Rose Margarita was perfect.Highly recommend and Cassie was an amazing server!

Went for ladies' dinner date.. Amazing ambiance and excellent food.. choice is limited for veg and chicken dishes, but the ones available totally satisfies taste buds.. Prosciutto Flatbread and Warm Roasted Red pepper and Spinach Dip are must tries.. Fried Brussels Sprouts and Margharita Pizza are good as well. Blueberry Mule and Coconut Margarita virgin version and are pretty good.. We went for a long stroll along the lake side after dinner, which perfectly justifies Eat and Burn..Parking is a little tricky. There is additional parking on otherside of the road as well.
