A real disappointment. We had such high hopes but it ended up being one of the worst restaurant experiences of my adult life. The service was spotty, the timing of food was awful and the meals lacked flavour and were lukewarm at best. The manager was made aware and offered to heat up a steak but the experience was already lost. No offer of anything like a free dessert and certainly no discount. Not worth half the exorbitant price. I hope they are closing tomorrow for the season.

We wanted this to be a special Birthday dinner and it was. The patio view is outstanding, about 50 feet high up over the lake and lock lifts for the boats. Food & Service was excellent. We were two couples with 2 birthdays. I put in the reservation request to hve surprise desserts delivered after the meal to the Birthday people and they did that without reminding. Yes expensive, The actual menu was a bit different than the website menu, but you can see the prices in advance and decide if the evening is special enough to warrant the cost. We went on a Wednesday evening in October, so it was not that busy. I imagine they would be more stressed to provide good service in the height of the summer.

Took 90 minutes for appetizers to show up. Main showed up one minute after the appetizer. Restaurant was understaffed. The lone server explained but could not remedy the circumstance.

It seems my booking had no value with this restaurant, one day prior I was asked to confirm my date and time of reservation which I did. But when we reached, the restaurant was closed. I called the phone number but no one picked up. I sent several messages but no one answered. If the restaurant was to be closed, the least they could do was to inform me beforehand. We had driven all the way from Markham with an out-of-country guest. It was so embarrassing & disappointing.

The fall menu is excellent. A wide variety of choices from the traditional hamburger to upscale options. Well prepared by Chef Andrew's team. alas it is getting a little cold for patio dining even with the heaters. Inside is the increasing option before the inevitable late fall closing. In my view still the Port Carling choice.

The new fall menu is great. Innovative selections and well prepared food. The chef has really hit home with the fall menu choices. Things are slowing in Port Carling but it is still worth the trip to Portside.

Interesting. The prices seemed high but quantities we large. Most of the entrees could probably be shared. They seem to be short staffed as service was on the slow side. With out door seating available, all tables should be near heating units which was not the case.

Our server, Journey was outstanding. She was fun, helpful with suggestions and really quick to come to our table. We never had to ask her to come over, she was there when we needed her even though it was a busy night on their beautiful patio.

The restaurant has a beautiful view with excellent selection of wines. The staff are very pleasant but lack in the small details of dining. I.e. when you ask for the bill, if you didn't,t ask your waitress then you won't get it. Even when we asked our waitress it took 25 mins to get it. The drink menu is overprice as my Appleton rum and coke was $20. I had the spaghetti and I would not recommend the pasta as it was not memorable except the price. My wife had the trout and enjoyed it. Overall great restaurant for view but food and service has slipped from previous years

The new and expanded patio provides a great Muskoka themed" atmosphere. The service from management to the server was simply top notch. Consistent communication and attention to detail rarely seen in Muskoka summers. The menu choices are excellent and food well prepared

Had a fantastic meal on the patio overlooking the dam. Rain was expected so we ended up sitting at three different tables (our choice....pre-rain, rain, post rain). Food was amazing and service was impeccable. A definite Muskoka go-to!

We had a disappointing experience at this restaurant. One of our dishes was incorrect and had to be sent back. When it finally arrived, the other guests had already finished their food and the dish was lukewarm. We were hoping for a high-quality meal with excellent service, but we got neither. There are so many great restaurants in the area that we will not be back.

A wonderful dining experience, the view is second to none in Muskoka. Dishes perfectly prepared, one of the best steaks I've ever had. Excellent service as well. Highly recommend!
