The bar is fun for before dinner and the two young ladies bartending were great and mixed fantastic drinks for us. We started with clothesline candied bacon as an appetizer , a beet salad and the chophouse salad that features a vinaigrette and apples. The beet salad was not really good. For dinner we chose the ribeye, cooked and served on a Himalaya salt brick with their homemade onion rings. We were hoping for crème brulee for dessert but it wasn't available. The dinner service was okay, but it seemed they were understaffed the evening we were there so there were some delays in our service.

This is a popular place, plan to wait up to an hour for your table even with a reservation. The bar is open though and happy to help you start your evening while you wait! Once seated, make everyone at your table get something different and everyone share. Not a dish will disappoint but you will be disappointed if you only try one thing! The place is busy but service was steady and attentive, highly recommend!

While eating at the bar at The Vierling (another review), we struck up a conservation with a local…read moreguy. Young man who was a brick mason. He made several recommendations, including Portside. It was excellent. Food and service were excellent. We are a product of the South and dont have much whitefish and walleye available. I had the walleye sticks appetizer with an order of fries and my wife had the whitefish cakes. Both were delicious. Fries were obviously hand-cut and large; also very hot. Our server was great! The best part of the meal was the BREAD STICKS! It appeared that the sticks are baked in a round pattern, like a pizza, and then cut into sticks. They were so hot, I couldn't hold them until they cooled a little bit. The accompanying spread was excellent; also marinara sauce. One could make a meal from the bread sticks. The vibe was pleasantly rustic. We decided on a booth instead of seats at the bar. Again, our server was great. The guy who brought out the bread sticks was equally good. I suppose the bread sticks are brought to the table directly from the oven. Highly recommend this place!

You cannot beat a classic, especially when it's patio season and the Summer Shandies are on tap…read more Smokin'Hubster and I popped in for lunch and had a fabulous time. We rarely sit outside but this patio beckoned and we were helpless to resist. There's even outdoor seating available if you arrive before the restaurant is open! Silas brought us menus and took drink orders right away. We enjoyed the season's first shandies while exploring the menu. His attention was perfect and we shared some laughs each time he returned to our table. Neither one of us wanted to share (I guess) so we each ordered our own appetizers. I can never get enough smoked whitefish spread... until it's ALL MINE! I enjoyed every bite and would do it again. Patrick ordered the walleye strips and he did offer me a bite (generous devil that he is). They were perfectly crisp without being heavy or greasy. If I had known that... nah, I'd still get the whitefish. We'll be back to visit The Portside and try more menu items. Who knows, maybe we'll split something next time?

I tried two different tacos (Korean BBQ and Red Chile Brisket-both were delicious), and got a large order of chips and queso, and a large side of border sauce (their best salsa, hands down!!).

Many seating options available between upstairs and downstairs. Great spot to check out while in town!

I learned of this place because I was searching for pinball in Marquette - otherwise I would never…read morehave known it existed. It's tucked away inside the Masonic Square Mall on the main street, which I hadn't noticed before. Apparently you get an hour of free arcade play with the purchase of a bowl of ramen, but the arcade games were not our thing, and the pinball (one machine) did not appear to be included. Oh well, at least I found really good food here. My husband and I shared the vegetarian Miso Shitake Ramen (with gluten free rice noodles subbed for the ramen noodles, and egg on the side) and vegetarian Shitake Gyoza, and both were delicious! I was intrigued by the Nihon Chaat summer special, but I feared it might be too much food, and it probably would have been. The interior is small and filled with arcade games, so the seating is right outside in the mall area (still indoors). There is table service, though, and the server was super nice and helpful. I hope this place makes it despite their slightly hard to find location, because the food is really good! Highly recommend!

It doesn't feel like a hotel restaurant inside, but service can be slow. The bartender took great care of us as did the expediter. Both were friendly, helpful and spent a moment chatting despite being busy. Our server, on the other hand, acted confused and overwhelmed. She was dressed more like a greeter/hostess, so maybe she really was out of her element? The food is yummy and the portions are super generous. The fries were a wedge-spiral hybrid, different than the usual. There was a great special on $4 margaritas which Smokin'Hubster enjoyed thoroughly. I made a lighter choice and had a local Grand Rabbits on tap. If you're traveling through the area, it's definitely worth a stop!

I ordered a pick-up lunch order over the phone because I wanted to pay with cash and that option was not available online. I ordered the TJ taxi wrap and ordered it without the cheese. The restaurant employee stated it doesn't come with cheese although queso cheese was specified in the description. I said please just make sure there is no cheese. She basically made me feel as if I didn't know what I was ordering and I was truly unsure of what I would be picking up. Upon pick up I was directed to the back counter where I stood waiting for someone to acknowledge me even though there were three team members in the immediate area. Once acknowledged I stated I was there to pick up a TJ Taxi with no cheese and fries. This was repeated to the kitchen and I waited about 5minutes more before given my food. They did honor the 10% discount the hotel mentioned so that was nice. The wrap was decent but not what I was expecting so I'm not really sure what I received.
