The ambiance hit a nice sweet spot, enough to feel energetic, but not so loud that conversation was a struggle. Our waitress introduced herself early on and took our drink orders, though service pacing was a bit inconsistent after that. I'd actually finished my first drink before she came back around to ask about appetizers. The biggest letdown was the wait for food, it took quite a while to come out, and between that and everything else, we ended up spending about 3 hours at the restaurant for dinner, which felt like a lot for our visit. That said, when the food did arrive, it was worth the wait. I had a beautifully braised short rib swimming in a rich demi-glace, served over creamy mashed potatoes with garlicky asparagus and a generous pile of crispy onion straws on top. The staff was friendly, good vibes and the food was delicious. I would say that service just needs to tightened up and the pacing between courses, especially for larger parties.

My table ordered veal parm, penne Alla vodka, baked chicken parm over linguini, cavatelli, spaghetti with meatballs and sausage and a shrimp, scallop, chicken and sausage dish (which was the one standout). The garlic bread was also a standout. There certainly was nothing wrong with any of the dishes but in my opinion, the portions were on the smaller side for the prices they charged.

Surprisingly, one last table was immediately available, so that's good! The rest... not great. First off, we were given food menus, but no drink menu. Our waitress was busy, so after about 10 mins we were able to flag down a busser and ask them if they could kindly hand us a drink menu, which they did even though that's not their job. Another 20 mins go by until our waitress finally showed up to take our orders. Complimentary rolls and olive oil to dip came, which was good. Then, 3 drinks came, the fourth one (a soda, no fancy cocktail) we waited 10 mins for and then had to remind the waitress about it. We were all done with our first round of drinks way before the food came, so ordered another round. Then, the food came. BUT! Not for everyone, only for 2 out of 4. We waited a couple of mins so we could all start at the same time, but after a while decided to just start because the food was getting cold. A whole 15 minutes later, the third person got their food, followed by the fourth person, as the first two people were already done eating. Super awkward. At one point the waitress put a drink on our table with the words "I know you didn't order this, but I can't find the person who did so you get an extra, enjoy!" At first I was happy about that free drink, but a couple mins later she came back and took it away again! Gave it to the table next to us. I guess the look on my face wasn't very happy after being teased like that, so she did end up grabbing me a free drink. The food itself received mixed results. The salad was ok, $16 for green leaves, some beets and some cheese. Dressing was good, but served in plastic to-go containers? Added chicken for an extra $4.50 was good. Brick-oven pizza looked good but tasted like cardboard. I fully expected the bill to be wrong, with all the back and forth with forgotten drinks, extra drinks etc., but it was correct, yay! Probably won't be back though.

The crispiness was superb and the flavor combination with the gooey cheese on top, absolute hit. Well-done chef! The caesar too, solid. It was billed as local organic lettuce and it certainly felt that way. The preparation was first class, but it all starts with the ingredients. When you're at Elaine's it feels like you are at the place to be. It buzzes and hums and yet they do a great job with the acoustics. Not too loud. I might suggest they turn the music in the dining room down, even off. No one will notice. We're here for food and drinks, and right now, in these departments, Elaine's is firing on all cylinders.

I clearly said to forget the two eggplant parms and instead do one eggplant parm or one chicken parm. Instead of helping clarify, the person on the phone repeatedly said, "You're confusing me and I'm busy, can we hurry this up." I'm sorry, but that's not how you speak to customers. If you're busy, simply put me on hold -- I would have gladly waited. I also work at a pizzeria, and I would never speak to a customer that way. A little patience and basic manners go a long way. Very unprofessional and disappointing customer service.

Yes, we now have 2 extra nice dinners plus complimentary dessert. That was commendable so thank you for that. I did not eat, as it was late & I was aggravated honestly just went to bed . I'm sure I will enjoy the meals later. Thank you again for making it right. I took off 1 star for the experience placing the order & another for the error & inconvenience of making 2 trips. Rating has nothing to do with quality of food. Their food has always been delicious ! Just placed a $100 take out order... first impression... the rudeness of "not hearing the order" & having to repeat it & then just being hung up on instead of a thank you, see you soon. I just don't get the entitlement that a customer is spending money supporting your business & your employees treat them like shit. Food better be good or here comes the rip a new A hole review.

The food and service were great, and I want to acknowledge our server Christine, who was a real joy to interact with. We stopped in for a Friday lunch. I ordered a salad and one of the soup specials. My Burrata Salad was $14 for a big portion of mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and basil topped with a big hunk of burrata cheese, roasted peppers and a balsamic glaze. The salad was excellent, especially the creamy decadent Burrata. Half of it came home with us. My soup was a cup of Mediterranean Lentil for $6. It came in a bowl-sized portion with a big hunk of fresh Italian bread. Both were great, and I loved how the soup was served piping hot and not tepidly lukewarm like so many places serve their soups. My wife ordered an Eggplant Parmigiana Flatbread, and this is where Christine displayed her customer service skills. She told us the restaurant had run out of Eggplant the night before and ran back to the kitchen to see if there was a new supply ready for today. She came back and said it hadn't been fully prepped yet, so it wasn't available, but would we like to try Cauliflower Parmigiana instead? That sounded intriguing to us, and we agreed. The flatbread that came out ($16) was delicious. Big nuggets of sauteed Cauliflower with cheese and marinara sauce on a flatbread. It tasted so good, we vowed to try making our own Cauliflower Parm at home. Lunch ran around $40 after tax and tip, and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience at the Port Bistro & Pub.
