This place has been important to my family for years. My first visit was for my aunt and uncle’s wedding reception more than 15 years ago. I returned many times over the years to enjoy the fantastic food and even better service. This past year, I decided to have my own wedding reception here. The food is great but it is the service that keeps me and my family coming back. Its as well run as any place I have ever been and it shows up in the little things, the details. I was just there again a couple of weeks ago and I cant wait until next time!

Perfectly grilled to medium rare ribeyes, thoroughly seasoned and extremely tender. Uniquely paired with lobster butter and the classic grilled asparagus and smashed fingerling potatoes. Great indoor and outdoor atmosphere and excellent service. Very memorable place.

Fabulous in every way. Service by Calvin & Adrienne was flawless—friendly, knowledgeable & not hurried at all. Food was prepared and plated with full attention to detail. Chilean Sea Bass ordered by both of us—-but 2 different yet equally delicious preparations. Dessert of chocolate chess pie and coconut cake was Heavenly! And if you love wine and cocktails, you cannot beat their wine, liquor and cordial list. Our 1st visit on a friend’s recommendation & we will be back for sure!

Booking a reservation was super easy on Open Table app. Our table was ready right away when we arrived. The wait staff were friendly and intuitive. We didn’t feel rushed at all. The appetizers, farm house salad and entrees were amazing! My friends compared the experience to fine dining in Charleston. I would definitely be returning!

I forgot to make a post for this restaurant, I came here to celebrate my birthday around 9 months ago. I made a reservation, and when I walked inside, everyone was so friendly I got many compliments on my dress. I decided that I wanted to sit outside since the weather was lovely, but there was too many flies (not the restaurant fault of course) and I didn’t want to risk one flying onto my food so eventually I asked to be moved inside. The “Vietnamese Style” Wagu Beef Meatballs with Peanut noodles wasn’t that good.. I felt bad for asking for something else (I ended up getting the egg rolls, I ate it too quickly so I don’t have any photos but I recommend that!) And my waiter was very accommodating, he apologized and I apologized back because I didn’t want to offend anyone. I also got the duck, coconut rice, red cabbage, wild boar sausage, and broccoli as the main dish. I enjoyed it a lot. It was my first time trying duck, and I didn’t get any dessert, but my overall experience was pleasant for my first time at Port Land Grille, I would come back again.
