My Experience with the Porthole
The Service was great and quick, but I had taken a picture of the haddock sandwich before I started eating and you can visibly see a hair coming out of the sandwich, and I know it wasn't mine because it was in between the fish and the roll.

Incredible vibe where everyone was there, drinking, eating,singing and dancing side by side for hours
Exceptional freshly prepared food! The server was upbeat, friendly and very knowledgeable of what this restaurant serves. All of the patrons sitting beside us had Exceptional service and food from my observations as well. Highly recommend. The prices were on par for local quality food. Seating was easy and dog friendly. Ramps were present for wheel accessibility as well. Beautiful Seating on the waterfront.
