Portside Bar and Restaurant

First post pandemic visit. My husband is very particular about how his steak is prepared. He said it was one of the best ever. Prepandemic we enjoyed visiting and referred several people. Food is always excellent. Protip-make a reservation for a window table. Best view in Bayfield! Restaurant only operates seasonly and is open Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Bartender, waitstaff, hostess, chef and manager all excellent.

I had the Carolina BBQ ribs. They were some of the best I’ve had. Vicki enjoyed the large serving of fried whitefish. The service was helpful and super friendly, and the view of the marina was charming

We have been to the Portside restaurant many times. The view of all the sailboats and lake superior is a big draw. The food is always good. On our most recent visit I had the prime rib and a bowl of chicken wild rice with a couple nice beers. We were disappointed that there were no whitefish livers even though they're on the menu. This has happened before. They must be more rare than you'd expect. The wait staff was new and inexperienced but wanted so much to be helpful. For example, our meal made it out to the table before our drinks with no explanation. I think that's important. Overall, we will keep going to this lovely restaurant.

We had dinner last night (Friday night) and had a great time. The waitress was very attentive and had fun with our outgoing group. Old fashions were amazing as well. We learned this summer a new cook took over the kitchen and the food was great. We had the prime rib and whitefish. Everyone at the table was thrilled with dinner! If you are in the Bayfield area please give this place a try!

Under staffed. The wait staff was on a constant apology tour at each table. They were at about half capacity and the food took at least an hour to come out. The shrimp scampi was not edible.
