    Items in the raw bar were excellent and incredibly fresh. While keeping in mind, the nature of a seasonal restaurant, there are just some things that could use some work here. There are about 12 dishes on the menu, but if you want a lobster by itself, it's not an option. Also, the potatoes were incredibly undercooked and lukewarm at best. I don't mind spending good money for fresh seafood, but this is a vast turnaround from previous visits.

    We loved this place! The food was excellent, the service was great, and the chef was kind enough to share the delicious cornbread recipe with my dad!

    Food was decent...for $54 for 3 scallops though I think was a bit overpriced. You are there for the view and the oysters and raw bar....servers must have all been new hires because it took awhile for them to figure out whose food was whose...brought our apps to a different table... Again you are there for view but with a BYOB at $185 a couple I think is a bit overpriced...

    Excellent dinner party for 10! Bella was our amazing server, so patient and responsive, just fabulous! Raw bar clams and shrimp were super fresh, oysters seemed to disappear in seconds! Main courses were swordfish, scallops and a double order of fried oysters! Don’t forget the calamari-so good we shared three orders!! Silly potatoes and sautéed spinach balanced out the meal. Desert was creamy, tart key lime pie and a strawberry shortcake. Delicious, amazing, beautiful sunset and we were the noisy ones!!

    Homeport had a facelift and the results are impressive. The food is special and fairly priced. The service, thanks Ms. Roger, was terrific. We have one suggestion: bring a small pillow to sit on whether sitting indoors or outside. The bench seats are hard and the new metal ones pretty hard, too. Otherwise, make the Homeport a stop. It has all the old treats and some new dishes and NO ONE can beat the view across Menemsha towards Aquinnah.
