Editorial Review for Home Port Restaurant – by Ben Williams
The Scene
Home Port is so popular that when owner Will Holtham threatened to sell out a few years ago, locals kicked up such a fuss that he changed his mind. The large, perennially packed dining room (there's plenty of outdoor seating, too) feels like a classic fish shack, with its ruddy wood fittings and wall covered in beautifully mounted fish. The nearby waterfront, packed with fishing boats, offers an atmospheric vista.
The Food
Prices seem high until you realize that all menu options include a salad, appetizer, a main course, beverage and dessert. In other words, don't come here for a light meal. Needless to say, seafood dominates, although meat dishes are available. The preparation and presentation are simple and straightforward, and although the food is not exactly sparkling, if your idea of heaven is putting on a bib and pulling a giant lobster apart, you'll be very happy.
