    The food was outstanding and the staff were nothing short of extraordinary! I have been here a couple times before and was never was disappointed. The meat and cheese platter, clams with chorizo and the chorizo tapas were my favorite!

    Restaurant has a ghetto feel Appetizers were great, makes sense because this is a tapas place Most of our entrees were terrible, surf and turf was god awful bad. The paella was the only good entree at our table Drinks were decent

    It's a nice place. The food range from fair to good. I wish they changed up the music and I thought the waiter forgot about me 😊

    Port-o Lounge was really good! The tapas were excellent and there were a lot of options for drinks. We ate at the bar and enjoyed the atmosphere. I'd recommend it.

    We decided to give Port-o Lounge another try after our initial lackluster experience. The food is quite good and beautifully presented, however the service is indifferent at best. There are too many great restaurants in downtown Jersey City offering great food and greater service.

    Delicious food with wonderful music backing it up. Brazilian / Portugese sound with great Malbec from neighboring Argentina. Ketel One martinis were great to start. An offering of port / and a cognac by the host went very well with the espresso.
