Best KPortal Reviews
This seafood restaurant is located at Port Jefferson, Long Island. The atmosphere is good and I like the green house which is warm, and can enjoy the sea view. The food are delicious yet not too expensive. The seafood pot is tasty and the fish platter is excellent. The lobster roll is ok and the market price today is $26. The salad is good too.
I’m going to be honest, I’ve been coming here since the 90’s as a kid. I always looked forward to the baked clams or the clam strips. You paid per baked clam and you ordered at the window and brought it to your table when it was ready.
I moved away from NY in 2006 but have come home so many times during this time. I always tried to make a stop here. It’s been about 4 years since my last time and I have to say…what happened to this place?
Now it’s just like any other restaurant with table waitstaff. I’m guessing new ownership? There was one main gentleman policing the entrance and telling people which way to go, he actually shouted at an elderly gentleman a couple times. I would’ve just let him walk in however he wanted instead of making a issue of it, but that’s just me.
Our waiter was very nice but that gentleman policing the entrance seemed very anxious.
Our lemonade was basically lemon water. No sweetness at all. I didn’t complain. Our appetizer came out at the same time as our lunch. Our lunch wasn’t hot but the appetizer was. The food was fine but I was surprised that now the only way to get baked clams here is to pay $10 for the 3 clam appetizer. That’s a little high, in my opinion.
All in all…was saddened to see what’s going on at one of my favorite places to visit when I come home.
I would like to say the food was great. Only thing is this goes directly to management and owners. The workers should be given some nice t-shirts for summer. They should not have to suffer in long sleeve black dress shirts. That is just so cruel. If you want happy servers treat them accordingly. Our waiter was excellent but you could tell with the heat he was exhausted. Some white t-shirts with your logo would be great. Buttoned up in the summer is not cool!
Very good casual dining in Port Jefferson. The lobster roll is a must, excellent every time we have it. Crab leg special great price and you get a good amount.
Delicious Red Snapper fish prepared fried . You can also order it roasted. It was my first time trying a whole fish. And it was delicious. Scrap off the sides for the meat.
The Steam Room is situated in beautiful, historic Port Jefferson seaport. I'm revising my original review and I am comfortable with this. While it seems that the manager and workers seem well mannered and the seafood seems fresh, sadly I do have to limit my overall rating based on what it's lacking. So the Steam Room is akin to a fast-food style place. When you walk in they seat you, give you a menu then inform you that to order you go to the counter and wait on line. One line. Only one. It could be empty, it could go down the stairs out of the place. Just one line. So after ordering you get to your table and wait, which isn't too bad. The drinks arrive first and sure enough the server tips their tray and here comes the lemonade all over the place. Side note, the server also spilled a lobster platter on another table as well. The server was polite but apparently they don't know how to hold their tray.
So on to the food. The raw clams and oysters are fresh. I've had so much better for the price but at least it's fresh. The other seafood also seemed fresh, except the Calamari which by the way when fried should be crispy. Theirs is not. No breading, not even a dusting. It had to be sent back. While the food in general is not bad, it severely lacks in flavor. It appears they don't season anything. They have sauces and sea salt on the table but nothing is prepared with any seasoning at all. Even the Lemonade has little sweetness or even lemon flavor.
So given that you have to pay 3-star prices, wait on line to order, food is flavorless and not prepared so well, I know this place can do better. Also did i mention the really obnoxious fluorescent signs right in your face? Outdoor lighting are these really strong fluorescent signs where the pictures are fading and the glare in unbearable!
Again this place can do so much better, but I don't think they're going to anytime soon. I will return in about a year once they bounce back from the pandemic a bit more and I do hope they're doing things a bit better.
Great food, great service! I ordered the fisherman's platter, and everything was perfect. My mother ordered the seafood bisque in a bread bowl, which was also fantastic. Great place to go for lunch or dinner!
Used to be great for outdoor dining, especially being dog-friendly. Now that they've changed to a full-serve waitstaff, it's hit or miss whether or not you get good service, or served at all. Waited 15 minutes for a waiter to take our order and that was only after I asked someone for a waiter. They weren't even too busy and the waiter that was finally brought over to the table had previously passed by at least 4 times without acknowledging our existence.
Would be much better off if they go back to ordering at the counter, giving you a # for your table and just had the servers bring your tray of food/drinks over.
