Portside Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Town of Brookhaven

Ate here recently and had a terrible meal. Wait staff was friendly, but the food was not great. I had a watery obviously frozen piece of chilean sea bass probably old. I know I shouldn't have chosen that as my meal in this place should have stuck with burger or pasta or fried foods. Anyway, I asked the bartender if anything came with the fish, (she was new), she looked at the menu and we concurred that there were no sides and that I could order a side separately for $6 each. So, out comes the fish with mashed potatoes on the plate and asparagus after I was told that I needed to order sides separately, and with it came a whole other plate of asparagus (mushy like they were old). The mashed potatoes were cold and the fish was not hot. The bartender told the manager that I didn't want to pay for the extra plate of asparagus because I thought the fish didn't come with anything. He looked at the menu and admitted that it didn't say that the fish comes with sides (which I didn't get to choose btw). He ignored that and poured me another glass of wine which I really didn't want. I'll never go there again the manager was super rude when that confusion happened with the menu. So many other choices in the area I would steer clear of this place unless they somehow get their...

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...

If I could give zero stars I would. Our waitress D who handed us our bill handed it back without my debit card and with twenty cents when I paid with a card. The constant telling me she put it in there and will call the owner to check the cameras was frustrating to say the least. Before she even left the area after dropping off the check I stopped her to let her know she didn't place the debit card in there. It wasn't on the floor anywhere, when she finally reached the owner he couldn't be bothered and told me he was going to the hospital. She didn't even offer a refund I had to impose on the refund and it was fathers day. To top it off I went home and projectile vomited the entire french onion soup and my entire family was sick as a dog! Complete inconvenience due to me moving out of...
