Reviews of Portside Restaurant & Bar (Restaurant)

We have our staff Christmas party here every year. Great food and awesome service. Highly recommended.

Grant Wagener

Went down for breakfast, they had a nice layout for a continental breakfast however the danishes were refreshed it was stale. None of the tables were cleared, they all had plates and cups from previous guests. Milk was in a craft at the station for cereal and empty. Ordered their discounted breakfast for guests. Waited for almost an hour and then asked about my food and was handed my order that was put in a to go container and sitting on the bar for who knows how long. I was told she asked everyone and laughed as she realized she didn’t ask the actual person who ordered it. I had to ask for a new order. I will not eat here again!

Best Philly Cheese Steak this side of Philadelphia! If you're in Thunder Bay I would highly recommend going just for the food, even if you're not staying at the Prince Arthur.

Achilles Stathopoulos

Nice bathrooms great servers awesome breakfast

Kathy Martin

Went for the prime rib buffet. Took visitors from out of town. We were all expressed. Everything including the dessert was perfect. We will be going back.

Jack Santos

The decor is old and very non-eventful. The food is, however, very good. Service is great and friendly.

Joel Bryant

A predatory system where a hotel provides a breakfast voucher to lure you in, then offers you some peices of fruit and cereal, or you can drop cash on a mediocre plate. I wouldn't advise ever going here if you're not already staying in the attached hotel.

Mark Rynkun

Aside from the very noisy drilling and hammering coming from upstairs the $5.99 breakfast was outstanding! Great service too actually.

Thanksgiving dinner was horrible, processed Turkey breast & boxed mashed potatoes yuck, $26 wasted.

Alex Wang

Meat, dreadful. Water, poisonous. Soup, poorly made. Waste of money

Adam Orbanski

Very friendly and cozy place to go in Thunder Bay

Stacey Voss (Great Gifts and Parties)

I love going to Portside for breakfast. Staff always makes you feel like family.

Yvonne Baxter

Poor selection of the menu

Stephen Hurrell

Very good Easter buffet.

Teresa Black

Very racist to natives who travel hours to stay there for medical. To be treated so segregated. Sad

Joy Cummings

Excellent

Chuck Steak

Overpriced greasy, low effort breakfasts. Coffee is terrible if you like yours with flavour and body. They used to have a decent brunch buffet but not anymore. Some ambiance, but it still felt crowded and claustrophobic as tables are too close together.

Serena Marie

Unique, different, awesome food, friendly service.

Steve B

C Paci

Excellent service good food

Barb Gaudette

The food took forever to be served. Steaks were ordered rare an med but came well done. Chicken was so over cooked that a steak knife could not cut it. The waitress was the only good thing about the evening!

Randal Durand

Excellent Prime Rib buffet on Friday and Saturday nights, also great brunch on Sundays.

Lamont Bergevin

We had breakfast at Portside the food was very good. But the service was very bad we had to ask coffee and utensils too eat with. I raven had to go to the honest to get a second cup of coffee. If you want to call me my phone number is 6217431 Mr Bergevin

Susan Zirnsak Pike

Wonderful lunch with the ACW from St. Michael's. The food was delicious. Table was nicely set, coffee carafes on the table, jugs with ice water as well. The staff was great. One waitress took all the orders and then other people helped bring out meals as there were 22 people in the room. We had reserved the room at the end of the restaurant. Not sure if it has a name or not.

Paige Rochelle

Good food and some of the best serving staff in town! Always clean and I love the old furniture.

Darlene Armstrong

Well, we gave a third chance tonite, but is just okay. What was our better choice many times in the past, is not anymore.

TS H

Fantastic! We attended the prime rib buffet, and both the meal and the service (by Randy) was exceptional. Will definitely be going back!

Bren Korcheski

Worst experience! Took 20 minutes to get coffee!! I ordered a clubhouse with no lettuce and no tomato... I am allergic to tomatos. When I received it, it was warm at best and upon picking up the second piece of sandwhich there was tomato pieces and seeds under it. Called the waitress over and told her she remade the sandwhich, which I said I would not eat and let her know it could have killed me. No apology, no manager came over, no chef... they did take it off the bill though. I will never go back!!

Roy Maki

The food was very good and the staff is very friendly. They always put a smile on my face. Will be going back.

Gordon Moorey

Wonderful ambiance and good service. The food is nice.

Gerald Paulin

Great staff...not overly pricey

Melanie Pailing

Food was not good and it all came at different times.

Suzan Cooper Rochon

Love the Clubhouse sandwich ...real chicken breast !

Deb Korobanik

Enjoyed supper with co workers. Nice comfortable atmosphere

Patrick Achneepineskum

My girlfriend and I both got sick after eating there. The food gave us the runs. They also forget to put everything in their food. They like to use the dark parts of lettuce as well. Whoever is managing the kitchen is doing an awful job

Adam Senger

Perfect

Carol Strachan

The best meal ever! Randy is an awesome server! Thank you

Craig Corkum

Good soup and salad bar for lunch with friendly staff.

James Plourde

There's a "D" grade on the door for a reason.. Tried to sit down to enjoy breakfast after my 3rd time telling the waitress I was not there for the continental breakfast and I that I was a paying customer. Once being able to be seated, ordered eggs Benedict and a coffee. The coffee arrived with lipstick on both sides of the cup from the previous user.. Canceled my order and left.. Clearly graded for a reason..
