“We heard of this originally on the TV show Phantom Gourmet, and finally got for a dinner in mid January. This was a truly excellent dining experience.
The dining room on the first floor is simply and beautifully decorated and there is very nice background music playing (softly). It is a very comfortable room and easy to have a conversation
The staff are friendly and knowledgeable and very attentive.
The food is outstanding. They had French onion soup on the menu and it was delicious and arrive very hot. For entrees we had the lamb chops and the Portuguese style fish stew - both were excellent. We split the Coco Daniel for dessert which as delicious and not too filling.
We’ll definitely be back!“

“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.“
