I was recently visiting the Cape on a business trip from LA and was looking for a ""Mom and pop"" place to have a nice meal. I heard about ""The Port"" and gave it a try. It was amazing! From the Hostess to the Wine glasses, everything was better than expected. I was looking for a nice place but never expected this! ""The Port"" is definately a ""mom and pop"" joint with a hip twist. I had such an amazing visit I decided to drag my work partners in from Boston...they loved it! We had cocktails in the bar like it was a cool Hollywood lounge, then made our way to the table for a 'more than fine' dinning experience. Even the Manager recognized me and had a pleasant conversation with us. It's decor is similar to the 'W' Hotel with a 'cozy feel' ingredient added to it. The wine selection is nice and so is their choices of single malted scotch! I also spied a few fun looking martini's that some young ladies were enjoying. But nothing prepared me for the spicey mussels and steak aupoivre that melted in my mouth! Being from LA I thought I would never find a cool and hip place to eat in Cape Cod...how wrong I was.
Pros: Large cocktail lounge, service, owner presence, great food
Cons: smaller dining area, plan to have a cocktail or two
