Go early to avoid the crowd!! Owners out on the floor and overseeing the crowd and pitching in. I ordered Taco salad- not great, my husband ordered the fish fry and liked it a lot...but had to wait a long time for more. Waitress friendly...but when we were leaving there were a couple of the wait staff out smoking by the entrance...not cool! Noise was very loud, looks like a good family atmosphere on the water. Will give it another try.
2. The Way Station

In the area for a baseball tournament at Woodside Sports Complex and found the Way Station was only 2.3 miles away, so we have it a shot. Great folks! The burgers were awesome! I had the Rattlesnake with bacon and it was phenomenal. Thank you for going out of your way to switch over from your breakfast menu, so we could have lunch food; we appreciated it very much!

I was very disappointed in the service and food quality. Let's begin with the service. I had friends up for the weekend and we lost power. Portofini had power so we decided to order take-out. We called asking if there was an online menu we could look at so we weren't taking up the server's time ( or whoever answered the phone time) . They said they "thought " they did and rambled off portifino bay.com. No such website exist and after one more phone call to verify the address and multiple attempts on google- no such luck. So my friend and I drove to Portofino and found the place practically empty. Ordering for our husbands, we asked to order the largest burger they made. The bartender assured me the burgers were large. She apologetically told us they were out of fries, but could substitute fries for homemade chips. Ok , it was weird there were out of fries but we went with the flow . I ordered the shrimp kebob and my friend, the chicken sandwich. While we waited for our food , my friend asked for the wifi password since she was roaming ( she isn't from the area). The bartender said she couldn't give it out because when people log on it screws with the register. Okay, fine. Another local sits at the bar and we started chatting. He ordered the appetizer sampler and when he got it there was no chicken tenders. Oh boy! I should have known to check my order before leaving. We get home and I open my meal to find one 6" kebob. They had forgotten to give me the rest of my meal. I paid $12 for a meal that had six pieces of petite sized shrimp and cut up green bell peppers. My husband opened his container and revealed a burger that you get in a kids meal! His substituted chips were half-cooked. Actually everyone's chips were half-raw. I am not going to go into detail with the black hair we found ( those pictures I am giving to the health department) * note we all have light color hair* but I was completely disgusted and 100% livid. I called the restaurant three times before someone answered and asked to speak to the manager. I am positive the manager was the bartender and all she could do was give me a free appetizer for the next time. Yeah, like I am really going to return for round two of disgusting food and unprofessional service. As a local and liaison for tourist, I will be sure to guide them away from this horrible excuse of a restaurant.
