Reviews for PORTSIDE Social Bar & Kitchen in St. Catharines, ON
Most of us enjoyed our meals. I enjoyed the perch. The pizza the kids said was soggy and VERY greasy. No one... complained. However the chicken sandwich was ordered by the birthday girl and it smelled heavily of fish. The waitress was goodand quickly asked what we would like as a replacement. We all assumed (as any other restaurant would) that the unsatisfactorymeal was removed from the bill. The oil is seems off or old. The replacement meal took a long time and the wings that came alsotasted of old oil. We didn?t complain we just went with it. My wife said her chicken sandwich also tasted like fish but she eatsfish so she ate it. The more it stewed that the chicken. Sandwich was not comped it bothered me. No manager visited us, noapology and we had to also pay for it. Left a bad taste in our mouth in a few ways. For the $500 our group spent we feel a bitripped off because of the way they dealt with the 1 meal we commented about. I hope this helps improve the quality in therestaurant. Read more
Outstanding meal here. I had the Maple Glazed Salmon and my colleague had the Rib-eye. The staff does an amazing job of... describing anything on the menu and the ambiance is very cool. Can?t wait to come back! Read more
Food was quite good and Calamari tasty but that Bruchetta pizza with shrimp was fantastic. Service was attentive and friendly.
We sat on the patio, it overlooks the marina and is quite lovely. There were 5 of us for dinner tonight. Probably the worst... meal we?ve had in a long time. The fries were soggy and cold, the Brie sandwich was loaded with hard slices of pears, thespinach dip pita points were burnt. We let the waitress know this and she was unfazed. This restaurant is lucky they are in avibrant area and will not hurt for customers, regardless of the food quality! Read more
The sweet potato taco was pretty awesome! The chicken sandwich however was incredibly small and what seemed to be two microwaved... patties. The service could've been better too, it's unbelievably slow. Took 20 minutes (!) after we sat down on a Monday nightto just get out beer ordered, then another 10 to get to our table. Read more
What a great little spot! One of the best looking menus I?ve seen in ages, loved the influence of jerk flavoured items such as a... jerk chicken burger, jerk wings and even a jerk quesadilla. Service was good, the location was nice with a good view from theirpatio and the mixed drinks where great! One negative about my visit was that two of us in our party ordered the rib-eye whichthey didn?t have then my second option was the slow braised rib which they didn?t have either but I will give this place thebenefit of the doubt and would love to go back! Try it out everyone!! Read more
Staff was awesome and very helpful. Beer selection was ok, would have liked to have seen more Ontario selections (lots of big... brew stuff). Had Calamari for an app, came out super fast but it was a little bit undercooked. You can see in the pic verylittle color on it. I had wings for a main and they were really good. Not the most amazing wings but cooked well, batter wasn'tsuper thick. Girlfriend had the goat cheese tortellini and I think fell in love with it. She really enjoyed it. Prices areawesome. Nothing on the menu was over $20 and the portion and quality was good in comparison to the price. I think we'd be backand I'm excited for them to be able to open up a bit more. Read more
I had a pleasant evening and first meal at the Portside Social. Located in the building that once housed a childhood favorite.... This establishment provides Port with another good eatery. My meal which included two beers, sandwiches and one dessert wasabout $70.00. We had a burger and the fried chicken sandwich. These prices unfortunately are inline with what is being chargednow. The food was fresh and hand made. I enjoyed the decor, and since we arrived before the dinner rush it was relatively quiet.I would return when in the area. Read more
