"Corned beef hash is served in a deep dish. It has a good briney kick laced with onions and garlic and cushioned by potatoes. The fragile poached eggs are a classic contrast. That's sourdough toast on top."

"If you just have to have fresh lobster for breakfast, Porthole's lobster Benedict is a good choice. Not a regular menu item, it is a frequent special. The large-chunk, spuddy home fries are delicious, too."
Cliff Strutz
"Buttermilk pancakes are available plain or dotted with blueberries, raspberries or cranberries. If you are a maple syrup devotee, bring your own; the kitchen doesn't offer it."
Michael Stern
"A view from a table in back looking towards the front of The Porthole. That's the old bar on the left."

"Of course, lobster is available for supper. This beautiful poster of one graces the Porthole's wall."
Michael Stern
"In warm weather, the choice seats at Porthole are outside with a view of the water."
Cliff Strutz
"Custom House Wharf is a wildly colorful old place, its buildings' walls listing this way and that, a raised sidewalk broadcasting the ancient sound of people clumping along sprung wood."
