It is what it is. You go because it's an easy outdoor option, but in my experience the service is always slow, slow, slow. If you're at a table, be prepared to sit with an empty drink for 15-20 minutes before your server comes by again.

Worse service I have ever gotten at a restaurant. Our waiter as rude. When asked for extra napkins, his reply was "when I get to it"! He would not accommodate special requests, ie: no spicy mayo on a sandwich, when we asked for that he replied "I will see what I can do". Soda was flat and the food cold. We will never be back. What was supposed to be a fun evening celebrating my daughter's upcoming wedding ended up in an upset.

The tomatoes in my friends omelette were like rubber ! Shortly after leaving we were all I'll and had to cut our day of fun on the town short. This sadly is the worst place I have eaten at in all of maine we will not return or eve... read more

The Porthole has been a family favorite for years. We visited ~10 yrs ago and had a great experience. On our second Portland trip in October 2014, we had the same type of experience. Hole in the wall, local-style atmosphere with friendly staff. I 100% recommend The Porthole to anyone visiting Portland.
