Home Port Review

A classic seafood-in-the-rough experience since the 1930s, this breezy seasonal island institution serves absolutely the freshest lobster around (including a hefty 3-pound lobster that'll set you back $60), plus steamers, scallops, smoked bluefish pâté and local fish. The fishing nets and other nautical paraphernalia hanging on the knotty-pine walls bring you back to a bygone era. Sailors from all around southern New England savor the chance to pull into Menemsha for a meal at this stalwart, where commoners often rub shoulders with celebs. You can also get your meal to go and enjoy it on the lawn or by the dock overlooking the harbor.

    The view was nice typical New England sea side atmosphere. The wait staff was very nice. It was over priced for $ 50.00 plus a plate you would think they could provide drawn butter and béarnaise sauce with the surf and turf or maybe linen napkins and the flatware was something you would get in a middle school cafeteria. They killed the fisher mans platter in the deep fryer

    We decided to eat at the Homeport last night. We were promptly seated, had a nice waitress and ordered. I had the clam chowder,not many claims or potatoes,weak broth but lots of celery and onions. Not the best of the Island.I then had the steamers. Small and tasty. The only problem was the grit in about 20% of them! There is nothing worse than chewing clams and hitting grit. I just wish all the clams were grit free would have been an excellent meal. I then had sea bass for the first time..tasted like chicken with the same consistency.It was OK.Dessert was the highlight of the meal,ice cream..fantastic. My date had steak,sent back once as it was raw in the middle. The meal and including tip was $ 130.00 for two..with no drinks.
