“On our Ladies Day out July 8, 2025, we picked Seaport Grille for our dinner spot. Beautiful ocean front setting. Can dine inside or out. I had the mussles appetizer over a side of linguini that came with 2 pieces of Garlic bread. Someone got the Lobster Roll. All the food and drinks were excellent. The waiter was spot on. Very clean. Highly recommend.“

“You will not find a more beautiful, excellent hotel than here. They have exceptional staff, excellent food, amazing accommodations. There is just not enough good to say about the Beauport Hotel. They did not miss any details. The interior is so beautiful and inviting, the food menus are eclectic and there isn’t a bad seat in the house. Recently ran into a self created 😂 snag, and Lauren went above and beyond duty and out of her way to resolve it! Don’t miss the Beauport.“

“Outstanding locally sourced food and innovative presentation. Beginning with focaccia and a red pepper sauce, then shrimp prepared three different ways, and an exceptional haddock entree. Not often you get great food in a tourist area, but this was exceptional. Also had a wonderful server, making for a perfect dinner. Highly recommend.“
