Port of Call

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

It's official: Port of Call does indeed make the city's best burger. But that's not the only thing that makes it worth recommending. The dimly lit, mood-lighting atmosphere is good for romance, the front dining area is close but not cramped, the bar is a great place to eat and absorb the many interesting denizens who wander in, the drinks are impressive and the jukebox is pretty darn good. Try not to get seated in the back, by the bathrooms and away from the action...it feels isolated and isn't half as interesting or homey. A great restaurant, a great bar, a great place to eat and meet.

Pros: Great burgers, Great Atmosphere

Cons: Parking problematic
