From musty dive hotel bar, and not one of the fun ones (well there was this one older lady that would serve you the strongest drink of your life whether you told her you were driving or not but other than that), to fine dining. Beyond impressed! This place is BEAUTIFUL and I don't know how they did it, but it doesn't have that smell anymore. And anyone that has been there in the past knows exactly what I'm talking about. Kinda like your grandmother's basement after a flood from 15 years ago that no one probably cleaned up. Yeah you know the smell. The short ribs were gorgeous, the reduction was perfect and the wild mushroom au gratin was heavenly. NY strip was perfectly tender, seasoned well and cooked to perfection. I'm never surprised anymore when a restaurant forgets what "medium" actually is. Sadly, I'm at the point where I'm surprised when they get it right. Pleasantly, but still surprised. This place, definitely gets my vote when I go to Freeport to spoil myself. If you haven't gone here yet, you're doing it wrong.

December 4, 2025 My…read moremother and I went to Porter's today for lunch. I hadn't been to the Harraseeket Inn for 25 years, so I was anxious to see what had changed. It took a few minutes to be seated, since no one was manning the reception station. Apparently that's waitstaff's job - when they're not doing 100 other things. This is an oversight on the restaurant's part and something I pointed out to the manager. Once we were seated though, our experience blossomed into something really wonderful. Neither my mother nor I ordered appetizers.... Since we figured that lunch would be enough (it was). They don't serve bread or crackers or anything as a gratuity - which is probably a cost-saving as well as time-saving measure. It also forces you into buying one of their "small plates" (appetizers), which looked wonderful but were also quite pricey. We also didn't order alcohol- which probably saved us between $30 and $50, since their cocktails were $15 and upwards. Same is true with their wines. Appealing but pricey. I ordered the beef short rib entree ($38) (see attached photo) with a small Caesar salad and their wild mushroom ragout. The beef was some of the best I've ever had. It was fork-tender, juicy, and flavorful in ways that are hard to describe. As for the wild mushroom ragout.... It was cheesy and delicious, but lacked any visible mushroom. I told our waitress so and I hope she passed it on to the chef. My mother ordered their Grilled salmon, served on a bed of cranberry quinoa and topped with an avocado sauce that was amazing (see photo). ($41). The food was so good that there was no hope of taking any home. We wiped out everything! (See photo) We hard coffee with our meal and with taxes and tip, the bill came to $118. Well worth it for such a fabulous meal. We'll go back, but with my father and eldest daughter in tow next time!!

Wow, we just got back from dinner here on a Friday night, late August, and we are just so thrilled…read more My wife, 7 year old daughter and I are on vacation from NJ. We came to this area for the first time and found this restaurant, got a reservation a couple of hours in advance. It's on a golf course, with lots of outdoor seating overlooking the greens and a sunset. Very nice. The staff and our waitress was super friendly and nice. Can't ask for better, really. She was wonderful. I asked for a Maine Lemonade drink that I've fallen in love with since trying. They didn't have it on the drink menu, but made me something similar and it was delicious!! I had two of them. And the food was fantastic. My daughter had chicken fingers and fries (which she gave a hearty thumbs up to). My wife and I started out with a cup of the Haddock Chowder each and the sun-dried tomato focaccia bread. Both were absolutely delicious. Highly recommend, especially the bread. I had the braised beef rib which was fantastic, the sauce was so good, the brussel sprouts were so good, it was all great. My wife had the award-winning lobster roll. For some reason they don't offer it hot, but my wife likes the cold version also and she said it was fantastic, she had to bring half of it home. No room for dessert. So to sum it up: great ambiance, great service, great drinks, great food. Oh, and the prices seem very reasonable to me (especially being from NJ). So, basically a perfect dining experience! I cannot recommend it more!

I was already in a foul mood, walking in here set me into straight sensory overload. It's a bar where they sing. I am unable to get inebriated enough to enjoy bars where they sing any longer. Call me miserable, maybe I suppose. In addition to the merry old fella belting it out on the mic, we had the joy of having some drunk guy in a large group behind us try and out sing him without a microphone. He even challenged the old guy singing to a form of a duel. Anyway I was so off, I cannot remember anything about my server at all. Nothing. I do remember almost screaming and running out. I sat there trying not to lose it while my wife had the time of her life. Every song made it worse, everyone else is singing, I am dying. When the guy took a break, guess what, dickhead from the crowd goes up and takes over. Shots helped at this point and the weed is kicking in well at this point. Now I'm hungry... My food was inedible and I'm pretty sure incomplete as well. The worst flatbread in the history of flatbreads. C's looked pretty good actually so I am sure her experience was quite different than mine. I hope to never return. '25 - extra

He had great recommendations for drinks, was very attentive and shared some fun stories about the resort where the restaurant is located. We started out with some of the restaurant's cocktails including a Portuguese Manhattan, a Blueberry Margarita and my favorite the Summer Sunset which was fruity and the perfect vacation drink. My husband enjoyed the Margarita but i think it was a bit too sweet for him to have more than one. We shared some appetizers including the Cauliflower Ceviche, which was a bit spicy for me but enjoyed by the rest of the table and then some BBQ Pub chips which had a yummy blue cheese sauce drizzled over them. For entrees our group had Fish n Chips (the fish was seasoned so well), Baked Scallops, Stuffed Mushroom, and the Spicy Mussels. My husband, who had ordered the Stuffed Mushroom, was very happy with his choice which came with rice and veggies. The only complaint was that the brussels sprouts which were part of multiple veggie side dishes were not cooked enough but all in all the food was really good. We also brought some dessert to go including two orders of the Creme Brulee Cheesecake, one Chocolate Turtle Cake and 1 piece of Blueberry Pie. All deserts were gobbled up later in the evening without a crumb left.
