Resembling the interior of a yacht, Port O' Call is a popular little restaurant. It's one of the few ground-level dining spots on Front Street, with an outdoor dining area reminiscent of a European sidewalk café. Fresh local fish—such as wahoo, tuna, grouper, and snapper—is cooked perfectly, and the preparations are creative. Consider the poached wild salmon, the seafood stir-fry, or the sesame-crusted tuna.

Lovely atomosphere, very old school, but comfortable. However, we got the worst waitress I've had in 30+ years of dining out. This French-accented woman treated us as if we were an annoyance to her otherwise lovely day. Impersonal to the point of downright snotty and we did absolutely nothing to cause her to be this way in the first place.
I could tell the kitchen was working hard to put out a fine dining experience, presentation was very nice, but I have to say my expensive lobster was a bit overdone and the other dishes were good, but not transcendent. Quite possibly the lousy waitress may have dulled out tastebuds, she was THAT rude. Very dissapointed in our highly anticipated dining experience.

looked like a nice place but the food was quite a letdown. the appetizers were bland and tasted like they were sitting under a heat lamp for hours. the entrees were okay, but smothered in sauce and a little bland. service was pretty good, not great.
