Excellent meal—great menu, friendly service. The views of Keuka Lake from the deck are lovely. Try to get an outside table around sunset.
Just got back from the father's day BBQ buffet. The food was fantastic, especially the smoked chicken, brisket and bread pudding. The atmosphere was perfect including the live music and everyone was super friendly and helpful. Thanks again for a very memorable father's day!
Way overpriced.
Friendly staff, great food and
Awesome location.
Big portions. Burger was done perfect, delicious. Chicken a little bland. Josh the waiter was excellent. Great help and timing.
Spent a delightful afternoon on the porch, enjoying the breeze and the wonderful food! I cant say enough about the weekender cocktail , muddled cucumbers, who knew? The staff was friendly and I enjoyed chatting with them. I've been to Ports 6 years In a row for my Birthday but this year it will be a MAIN DECK Birthday! Bravo guys!
Everything I tried was so amazing. I also tried a couple of mocktails strawberry lemonadei think and a Shirley Temple she did use a raspberryinstead of a cherry but thst was ok. I tried a cucumber gazpacho and I tried the braised short rib dish which was delicious for dessert I tried the flourless chocolate brownie or cake I cant remember and it had a black cherry ice cream. I would definitely try more items.

Wonderful boat in or drive in experience. You can sit on the porch and gaze at the lake while drinking yummy drinks and eating yummy food. One of my favorite places in the finger lakes.
Beautiful view of the lake, service was great however the strip steak was terrible. Couldn't even cut it with a knife server spoke with owner who offered nothing to remedy my sons meal not even a dessert. $29 for a meal that wasn't eaten. Definitely will not be returning.
Location is great and if it had been less windy would have sat outside for our recent dinner. As we have noticed all summer, wait staff is in short supply, this location being no different. Service was a little slow and inexperienced. For appetizers, we ordered seafood chowder and fried calamari. Chowder was deliciously thick with large chunks of seafood and the calamari was served with pepper rings but no marinara sauce ( which was requested but never delivered). Two of us ordered chicken french- with the uneven cooking of the chicken pieces (combo of blackened or browned & not) and the huge artichoke heart which detracted from the dish, this didn't resemble similarly named dishes we've had before. When asked why one dish was served with vegetables, the other not, server said it was because one had pasta, the other potato! The Tuscan chicken special, also served with a huge artichoke heart, was non descript & just not tasty. Chicken parm (no artichoke heart!) was ok. Presentation of all items left alot to be desired. Sad to say, not a meal to recommend!
My wife and I were seated by a not so friendly older gent. We sat at our table and fifteen minutes later no server. I found the man and told him nobody has visited our table yet. He left and found us a waitress that did not seem very enthusiastic to wait on us. Maybe a local’s establishment? To sum it up the food was at best just okay and the service was horrible. Our waitress never even came back to check on our drinks. Our bus boy was better because he asked if we wanted more bread. One star for the nice view of the lake!
The view of the lake, especially at sunset, was amazing! The service was great, the food was good. We had the special of beef tips with mushrooms and onions over linguine. There was barely any meat and a lot of mushrooms, that was the only small concern. We were hoping to have filet, but it is no longer on the menu.
