Portside Bar & Grill 242 Traders Cove, Port Jefferson, NY 11777

"Had potential but service was horrible, 1 waitress working wasn’t to busy but she was overwhelmed. A waiter was trying to help but he wasn’t helpful. Waited 30 minutes for drinks and the soda was out then another 20 minutes to get them replaced. The Food was absolutely horrible and an instant stomach ache. Crazy clams, mussel’s, steak sandwich, worst lobster roll I’ve ever had. Gonna be a long night by the toilet hope it’s not food poisoning. Don’t waste your time or settled stomach!!"

"This is a hidden gem in Port Jefferson. You have to work to find it! Great outdoor seating and cool atmosphere (dog friendly). They had some kitchen troubles when we went (out of some items). We will definitely try it again."

"If you think about coming here… Don’t. When looking online you see great reviews but in person you can just smell bad attitude from it’s open doors. Bar was well kept, location was perfect and overall a great looking place for a competitive price in the food industry. Surrounded by other dining options. Upon seating ourselves we were curious if we should just make our own drinks and cook our own food. No one had the thought to approach us. Changing our seats and sitting at the bar was the only way to get their attention, but we’re greeted with laughs unaware if it was at us or something funny. The food was fantastic but hospitality was piss poor. Being a bar tender is more than making drinks. It’s about customer service to which our server had none. Rather than refill our drinks our “bartender” gladly made himself a drink and had more interaction with his friends and taking shots with them. I paid for the food and tipped him well aware the tip was not earned. Lucky to make it back on the ferry in a hurry knowing it will be my last time ever coming here"
