“ Great food at a fair price in a warm environment. The Mrs and I were staying at a nearby B&B. The Porthole was recommended by the B&B owner. We were visiting from Austin, TX and are used to southern hospitality. Something I rarely experience when traveling in this part of the world. Sorry Boston. However, the wait staff was super friendly. Advised us southerners not only on what food was a must but also must do's in the area. Thanks for the great experience! ”

“ We have been "regulars " at this Resturant for over 30 years. The food is awesome, the drinks more than fair, and the prices reasonable. Their prime rib is one of the best we have ever had in our dining experience ...the best part of the porthole is their staff starting with Kristen the mgr, , kelley , Ken, Darlene,John, and Melanie at the bar ...the servers who have waited on us are Rick, Stephen, Brianna , and a big shout out to Ryan who always gets everyone's dinners out in time ...the hostess ,Marisa is always ready to help out to accommodate seating for the patrons. We have always found this Resturant to be clean and The food excellent , and the live entertainment an big plus ...we doubt one could find anything better on the north shore .. ”
