Great Choice!

Jan 2020 • none

This was one of the best restaurants we went to. Robbie the waiter knows his stuff and has a good sense of humor We went for drinks and appetizer and had the yellow tail and salmon carpaccio and the cornflake crusted rockfish bites. Both were excellent and we would highly recommend. Drinks were a good pour -not like some other places on island.

Best food on the Island!

Jul 2021 • friends

Excellent inside and out. We chose to eat inside as it was very hot outside. The decor is elegant and had a nice casual island feel to it. The service was absolutely top notch. I want to especially call out Mohammed who was very patient as we asked him to repeat the Tuna special three times. The prices also were reasonable despite a place likely visited often by tourists. Tuna was really the standout and the special app was a carpaccio and the main was over mashed asparagus with truffle and mango with roasted tomato salsa. We ordered so many things including an interlude course of the unusual fish and chips where the fish was not coated in a thick batter but rather a very appealing light batter with a bit of a curry-like branding. The wine list is also interesting and varied both in type and pricing. I really really enjoyed it as did my entire group - we were there for about 2 and half hours! so fun. This is a must go to restraint if visiting Bermuda.

Wonderful dinner and service!

Jul 2021 • family

Had a fantastic dinner with my family for our last night in Bermuda. Manager was so kind to allow us to order sushi appetizer from their sister restaurant The Pearl upstairs. In fact, they sent us 4 plates of sashimi and crudo which were amazing! Lala, our server and wine expert was helpful with our choosing our meals since it is a 2 or 3 course prize fixe. Lala also sent us the most amazing cheesecake as an extra treat! Loved the new decor (we hadn't been in many years). Definitely a must place to dine in Hamilton!

Excellent restaurant in the town of Hamilton, one of our favorite meals of the trip and incredible service!

Aug 2021 • couples

Excellent restaurant in the town of Hamilton, one of our favorite meals of the trip and incredible service! Short walk from our hotel at the Hamilton Princess with outdoor seating available. For appetizers we started with the burrata and heirloom tomatoes and scallops which were delicious. For entrees I had one of the specials, a Mahi Mahi dish, which was very fresh and cooked perfectly. My husband had the strip loin steak and shrimp which he said was good. For dessert we had the vanilla bean cheesecake to share which was amazing! I’m not usually a fan of traditional thick NY style cheesecake but this was very different, nice, light and fluffy. Our server Travis was wonderful!! Very friendly, efficient and attentive. Great service makes such a difference and we’d highly recommend for a really nice dinner.

Exceptional food and service, right up there with some of the NY greats!

Jun 2022 • family

After three years of staying local due to the pandemic, we flew to Bermuda from New York. Our first meal was at Port O Call because my wife had expensive taste. However, I was pleasantly surprised with the exceptional hospitality, service and quality of the food. I recommend their calamari which was light, crispy, flavorful and fresh. Their short ribs were packed with flavor, tender and delicious. Their local catch was tuna, which was cooked, seasoned and plated to perfection. I will go back when we return to Bermuda, hopefully sooner rather than later.

Great option for local seafood

Oct 2020 • none

Port O Call is a great option to try Bermudian seafood, including fish and crustaceans that aren’t usually available elsewhere. The appetizer and main course were very good. However, ff you’re a dessert enthusiast, don’t be misled by the server or reviews. Desert is definitely an afterthought, as it is at many finer dining restaurants. They are famous for their cheesecake, but it’s a quality you’d expect at a buffet. It’s very standard, light with more egg than cream cheese taste and an unremarkable sponge crust. This is one of those lower quality cheesecakes that needs to be served with a fruit accompaniment to add flavor, and it was. The apple crumble was fine, but of similar quality, far below the standard of the the appetizers and main courses.

Chic on Front Street

Jul 2023 • couples

The atmosphere is very chic, contemporary and nice. A light neon blue bar area to the right when you enter looks like a fun place to have a cocktail before dinner; there are some areas to lounge OR eat in the bar area as well. Had we known about the bar, we would have had drinks there first instead of our hotel. The place even feels very clean. The host, being very attentive, immediately greets you. Reservations are suggested. While the host is friendly and attentive, our server was efficient. He was not as engaging as the host. The place was very busy. As for the food, the pork tomahawk chop was a memorable visual and tasty part of the evening. Never having had turbot before, trying that was worth the meal. Great tastes! Worth an evening meal while in town...

Fine Food

Jun 2022 • couples

My wife and I had dinner here and was blown away with the food and service. As soon as we sat down our server Mohamad greeted us and made sure our experience throughout the night was the best. My wife had the grilled Wahoo and I had the grilled shrimp and scallops. For dessert we had the cheesecake - one of the best I ever had. Jordan who is the manager checked on us continuously during dinner. Would highly recommend this restaurant. We will will be back on our next trip to Bermuda.

Excellent food and service

Feb 2023 • couples

We booked late in the day for a table and were seated at 830pm. George and Carl are superb hosts and the staff are attentive and very good at their roles. Food was first class. From fresh fish to a beautifully cooked chop to the most delicious cheesecake in Bermuda they never fail to disappoint. Thanks for a wonderful meal and evening!

Very high energy restaurant. Certainly not an intimate setting if that’s what you’re looking for. Service was wonderful and prices as expected for Bermuda. Caesar salad was ok, definitely not shareable. The tuna carpaccio was delicious as was the escargot. The beef short ribs were bland and would recommend something different. Cheesecake amazing!!! Server dropped glass and cut my wife’s foot. They assisted with gauze and bandaids and we’re very friendly calling a taxi for us.

Must try! Great culinary experience & sérvio

May 2024 • couples

Nice location in Hamilton- where most shops & restaurants are located, Port O Call has a bit more sophisticated and nicer menu than the restaurants in the strip. Hands down the best short rib I’ve ever had as well as cheesecake- which I’m not a fan generally speaking the service was expeditiously while attentive to details- great staff. The manager also was extremely helpful offering to get us a taxi in the clouding rain!

Good but not amazing

Jan 2022 • none

It's restaurant weeks in Bermuda, so we decided to try Porto O Call for the first time. I enjoyed the decoration, modern and inviting. We start with grouper tempura with avocado, its was super tasty, however the presentation was very sloppy. For main we we order the braised short ribs with polenta and we could cut the meat with a spoon,really good. Lastly the deserts the apple galette was not crispy was dry and tasted like it was from the day before, my chocolate tort was more like a overcooked petit gateau, service was quick but lacking of attention.

Double the Cosy NOT Double the Quality

Aug 2023 • couples

This seemed to be a very nice place to eat so we tried it out 1 evening. We had the Tomahawk Chop and Roast Leg of Lamb. Both were good but not the best and the sauce they put on them was sweet and took away from the flavor and was also cold. Dessert was good, apple crisp and chocolate molten cake. Cost was 2X what the average of any meal we had out while in Bermuda, so not really worth it.

Great food on Front street

Dec 2019 • none

You won't miss this place on the Front Street. It is wonderfully situated facing the habour and the atmosphere is very good. The seafood is wonderfully prepared, and the service is excellent. Our server particularly recommended the cheese cake and it is out of this world. The only draw backs are the musty smell of the restrooms and noise (could use some more sound absorbing treatment), or else I would give them five stars. Nonetheless, you have to try the food.

Lovely restaurant and excellent meal.

Dec 2023 • family

We started with the cheese soufflé and calamari. Calamari sauce was a thicker BBQ sauce and complimented the calamari well. For main course we had salmon and short ribs. Short ribs were amazing! At the waiter’s suggestion, we tried the cheese cake. It was a large portion so perfect for sharing but much lighter then a NY cheese cake. Highly recommend.
