PORTSIDE Social Bar & Kitchen

My team visited after our beach volleyball game. Everyone enjoyed their meals! I had the chicken wings and they were delicious! Can’t beat the location either, we sat outside on the patio and enjoyed the beautiful night.

stopped here for an early dinner on way to Jackson Triggs for a Twilight in the vineyard concert. Hard to tell specifically what the atmosphere would be like as we were eating early. The bartender / waitress was AWESOME with a great sense of humour. We had fish n chips & chicken parm. which was huge, but Mrs. H did not like the lingiuni or marinara sauce. The prices for this area were reasonable & location very good. They do have outdoor seating & there are lots of sights to take in, in the area.

I was so excited to try the food at portside I arrived at 645pm and was seated right away on the patio ... The waitress gave us water and said take a few on minutes to look over the menu then forgot about us ....or so I thought ..... She peeked out the door 5 times and made direct eye contact with me and went back in the restaurant quickly ...... I finally decided to leave at 730 feeling frustrated and hungry ....I crossed the road and saw her cleaning off our table immediately ..... I think she just wanted to close up shop and go home 😔.. I will not be returning .....

Went there for the Friday night perch special. Delicious. Friendly, helpful staff. Great community feel.

First time we went was Saturday night. A bit warm inside but it was ok. However they had no chicken parm, then came back and said no goat cheese for the goat cheese burger. The Diet Coke was flat and I asked if she could bring another one. Never saw server for a while and asked again and she that’s all they had. One pop gun and said she can bring another kind. I cannot have regular with sugar. The shrimp tacos my husband said were great but the rest of us were just ok. Not sure I will be back.

Sat at the bar, amazing Burgers, juicy and huge patty made in house! The staff were perfect in their friendliness! Food came quickly and was delicious!

Food is good, portion size is decent, I would get the same thing again no problem. We went for lunch and thr menu isn't massive, which I do like.

Waitress was never nice, asked us about our meal multiple times, and was very diligent.

We decided to sit by the window and there were several flies, only gripe.

My daughter and I stopped for lunch. Great service and the food was amazing! Shared shrimp tacos with house salad and short rib grilled cheese & fries on the patio. The best lunch ever! So glad we changed our minds about the Twisted Pig. This place will not disappoint.

Rude attitude

Super tasty wings with an ice cold beer served by nice people in an excellent ambience is all you really need in life and Portside Social presents this in spades!

We had our staff Christmas party here and it was amazing 10/10 service and food. Ashley, our server was fantastic and took care of our 12 person table all herself. We had someone with specific allergies that was taken very seriously and with care. We will definitely be back next year. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

The words I can come up with are…APALLED! DIRTY! INCONSIDERATE! Seriously, watch out for the servers… I came in with my disabled, autistic sister and she really needed to use the bathroom so I asked one of the servers if we could quickly come in so she can use the bathrooms as it was the first one we saw. The server then laughed in our faces and said they only offer the restroom to their reservations and the portapottys would be better suited for a girl like my sister . I asked what she meant and she said and I quote “I think we both know what I meant by that” as if it was a joke! She’s been upset for the last four hours and I cannot bear such awful customer service! For reference the woman was brunette, in shape and average height.

Great food and *Excellent* service, very attentive to allergies which was greatly appreciated. The only reason this experience was 4/5 was the fruit flies! When they put little devices on your table to keep them away (which didn't work in my experience) they clearly know of the problem and should address it at the cause, not provide a bandaid fix.

Always a return for me. Great selection of beers especially their bench tap! Everyone who works there is wonderful. Food is also pretty nuts. The burgers are all good. Not a wrong selection you can make. It’s definitely a number one spot in port Dalhousie and maybe all of St. Catharines for me.

Big fan of everything here overall. +they play baseball games on the tv so extra points

Parking: Parking is paid and pretty expensive. If you have a permit though park in the lower lot and you don’t pay.

The location is awesome. It's located right at the corner of Lakeport.
My experience was not Awesome!!

Wanted to have a quick bite today but unfortunately there was only one server today. She was trying hard to put out all the orders and serve everyone but the service fell apart.
Got a simple order of Sandwich and wraps in 35 minutes.
The chicken in the sandwich was burnt but the wrap was really tasty.
The interior is good and the patio is pretty too.
However you can skip this restaurant and try another one if you are looking for Great food and amazing Service.
