Port, Dewey Beach, Restaurant, Review, Delaware Beaches

Even before summer started someone mentioned this restaurant to me.  It has taken this long to make it there.  And it might…..

I tell you what.  Lately I have just been getting less than memorable food.  It just has been mediocre.  I want food that will energize my taste buds and I want restaurants to make me feel as if I could not wait to go back.

So, I really should get back to my cooking.  Maybe that will get me to appreciate going out to eat more.

Port is located at 1205 Highway One, Dewey Beach.  The Tel. is 302-227-0669.  Website? www.portdewey.com.   Lunch is served Fridays through Sundays from 12 until 4 p.m.  This location used to be the home of The Dewey Beach Club.

They have done some remodeling.  A fish tank separates the dining area from the bar. 

It was a little loud and not very relaxing since the wait staff kept rushing back and forth.

I ordered The King’s Salad.  I think it was supposed to have had apples, but they were missing.  Cranberries and mixed greens.  I told our waitress to hold the sugar coated walnuts.  Blue cheese crumbles and a house raspberry vinaigrette.  Once it was cut and mixed, it was actually, pretty good.

For my entree I ordered Rockfish, blackened.  I chose the mashed potatoes and different squashes were also included.  It was good; but not exciting.  I ate it.  Don’t kid yourselves.  That did not deter me.

My husband ordered the Pad-Thai.  Stir fried rice noodles, shrimp, chicken and vegetables with authentic Thai seasonings; garnished with cilantro, bean sprouts and chopped peanuts.

His review was that it was too sweet.  It had chicken and shrimp and maybe it should have been one or the other; not both.  Not spicy enough, either.  I thought he would start his tantrum, but he contained himself. 

So, we quickly got our bill, which was somewhat reasonable, and departed.

Note:  Port is supposed to have a Thai influence but there are only a few Thai dishes.

Not very exciting, don’t you think?  Talk to you later…..
