Port and Park is the quintessential neighborhood place for us: most often take out so we are really happy to see Sunday hours extended to the dinner hour. It’s great to eat in as well as the drinks are fabulous! Faves on food: Patty Melt with mushrooms and Buffalo Chicken wrap.

Pretty wide range of food and wonderful customer service! We had a large party and they did the best job ever serving our food and drinks at the same time.
Cute holiday ambiance and a huge space. Feel free to take as many friends at a time as you want here :)

What year for a restaurant week a couple years ago. Had a reservation and we were there on time - party of 6. The place was very busy when we arrived, so we were told had to wait a few moments to be seated. No problem! To be expected.
25 minutes later, they come back and ask why we're standing around. We show them our reservation They tell us that we're late (not true, we've been here WAITING) And that we have to wait longer. About 10 more minutes go by and then they seat us at a table that had been open since we arrived.
One seated, we waited another 35 minutes before someone came over. The entire 35 minutes, there were three servers standing around side eyeing us the entire time. We had tried to wave them down a few times, They made eye contact with us, and continue to ignore us. Finally my friend went up to hostess stand when someone returned and someone came over about 10 minutes after that. They were super unfriendly and rude, and then told us that there was going to be issues with us ordering off the restaurant week menu. We sort all of it out, order our food, and upgrade to the bottomless brunch package. We receive our first round of drinks about 10 minutes after that, and start waiting for our food.
45 minutes goes by before anybody comes back to the table again. We've been out of drinks for at least 35 minutes, and none of our food had arrived in that time.
Finally food started coming out, but about half the table had to wait another 10 minutes for their food to arrive, even though the order was placed at the same time. The food itself was okay - Not terrible but definitely nothing to write home about for the price point.
We maybe got one or two rounds of drinks after from a totally different server than the one who had started helping us initially, who was at least polite, If not a bit terse. I can absolutely understand the feeling of being overwhelmed on a busy day, but that is absolutely no reason to be continuously rude to a party that has been nothing but patient, kind, and understanding. Our entire party has agreed that none of us will ever be returning to this place. We wasted hours for a reservation we were all very excited for, got treated like garbage, and gaslit. I HIGHLY recommend avoiding this place.

If you haven't been to Port And Park yet, You need to! The food is absolutely delicious, the staff is friendly and attentive and the atmosphere is inviting and relaxing. I have dined on the lovely outdoor patio and ordered take-out multiple times, the food is CONSISTENTLY INCREDIBLE! When I've been there with friends, they order the French Toast and the Chicken sandwhich, they loved their meals, I always get the steak and eggs, I've never been disappointed!! The portions are very generous, the eggs are fluffy, the potatoes, onions and peppers are so flavorful and the steak...Oh Lord IT IS GOOD!! It is always cooked perfectly with the perfect amount of seasoning and the side of Chimichurri is fantastic! I've been wanting to try the Beignets and today I got the chance. The owner Steve, took my order today and took it upon himself to add 2 Benignets to my bag, not knowing I wanted to try them!! He is very kind and made sure to ask what time I would be in to pick up my take out order, to time it perfectly!! In today's society the small gestures like that are unheard of. I am so glad I am able to enjoy food from Port and Park, it has become a regular treat for myself. The prices are reasonable considering the size of the portions.
