    One of the worst dining experiences my wife I have ever had. I'm 56, we go out to eat 2-3 times a week and have for 20 years ... you do the math. When we first walked in, we thought people were smoking in the restaurant because the smell of smoke was so overpowering. We should have just left then but we didn't. Service was terrible. Matched only by how bad the food was. We ordered a glass of wine that finally made it to the table when our entrees did. We ordered a side dish which never showed up to the table...but did show up on the bill. The desserts must have been store-bought bulk. Maybe a Costco special--one bite was enough. We figured out the smoke smell was the owner/maître d. The smell of smoke on him was so overpowering it was clear he was smoking any time he disappeared into the kitchen or out to the front. He dropped our desserts off and actually had a cigarette and lighter in his hand. It was so bad our eyes were watering. Our clothes stunk of cigarettes so badly we left our coats in the garage when we got home. It was like being in Europe in the 80s. We watched the table next to us sit for 20-30 minutes without even being greeted. They finally left. Oh--and they added 20% gratuity to the bill (for a table of 2), never said anything, and had a tip line included on the bill for additional tip. I wonder how many people double tipped ... The guy playing guitar was great though! So, if you like crappy food, crappy service and love the smell of cigarettes permeating your food and clothes this is the place!

    The Valentine’s Day set menu was overly expensive for what you got. The food was great just bad value. The live music was fantastic. We felt abused when we saw an $8 fee to use a credit card and an 18% automatic tip on the total. Unfortunately, We will not be returning.

    Another great dining experience at the Port Restaurant. It's one of those best kept secrets inside Corona del Mar. Good food, good service and a good band. The staff is welcoming and the food is great. Can't ask for more.
