    Best steak and fries deal at 29.99!! The porterhouse steak was cooked to perfection, smokey, charred and yet very juicy. We ordered several appetisers to share and they were all delicious (prawns nori taco, king fish sashimi, salmon sashimi taco, calamari, wagyu skewers, sourdough bread with miso butter) Staff were very attentive to our needs. We had an amazing time dining at Pier Port.

    Great experience overall! From the moment Maria greeted us till the end, service was attentive even though they were busy and in a rush. The team explained they had upstairs full as well so there was a fair bit of waiting time but they managed to look after us till the end and made sure we felt comfortable. The food was worth the wait and the live music made the night even better. Highly recommend the experience.
