    Food was super fresh and delicious Staff was well trained and professional Overall great experience. Small dining room so I imagine it will be hard to get a table in season.

    Sushi was delicious.... the noise level was really loud. I was at a 2 top and we really had to lean in and talk much louder than usual to each other to carry on a conversation. Our server was excellent.

    Port is a feast for your eyes, beautiful views & venue. It was very loud and hard to converse though. The food was very good and the service was excellent

    We visited Port Marina for the first time and had a great experience. We enjoyed every aspect of this place from a great location with views of the marina and water, to great service from our server Josef, but the food was why were there and it did not disappoint. We shared all 4 of the dishes we had and each was great. Grilled Shrimp, Mushrooms and the Crab Bread were all exceptional and the house made Gnocchi w/Lobster entree was the perfect choice for entree. There are great cocktails and wines to choose from—reservations a must!! We will surely be back…..

    Cute decor but beyond loud. Dont expect to have any conversation at your table but you'll certainly hear the Wildwood crew doing lemon drop shots at the table next to yours.

    Everything was great, the food, the view, the remolded upstairs and downstairs BUT the noise level on the second floor was crazy loud!!! We could hardly hear ourselves talk- it was like being in a night club. They might have to put some sound blockers on the ceiling or go to a rug???? It made it so uncomfortable!!!!!

    First visit, beautiful decor and view! We are local so wanted to get in before we won't be able to -menu is varied and interesting, we got entrees and just 2 aps- all good. Sushi roll was exceptional, special salad interesting and good- generous serving sizes. Entrees ordered- lobster with gnocchi, 2 nut encrusted black bass, and blackened red snapper - were all delicious, with included sides of veggies. We shared 2 orders of dessert- a cheesecake with an apple topping and strawberry ice cream-perfect!

    In my opinion not worth the money. They did a fabulous job on the decor however food was just ok. For $125 per person with tip just not worth it to me. There are so many better options in cape may
