We provide meals with healthy, whole, and largely local ingredients, preparing dishes of high quality and authentic to their cultural roots. Our menu emphasizes selections from the Mediterranean and Continental families of cuisine, but has always extended its range to include “specials” from other parts of the globe. The Bistro aims to provide the “World on Your Plate” in a beautiful, fine dining environment. Ports of Call Bistro celebrates its first anniversary this week with a new summer menu. To Nicholas Sparks and all the cast and crew, we miss you and wish you the best! Thanks to Ryan Seacrest for choosing Ports of Call for a birthday surprise for Julianne Hough during the filming of Safe Haven. It has been a great Summer and we are busy working on our Fall menu which will be posted soon.

We strive to provide authentic, high quality presentations of the World’s fine cuisines. Celebrate a World of Cuisine with us at Ports of Call. We are conscious of their global sources, especially since in the course of our lives we’ve travelled to so many places. Like the evolving cuisines of the Mediterranean that bor rowed globally, our own unique menus continue to evolve and grow. Think about the world of cuisine but grow and catch locally, is our gastronomic equivalent to “think globally and act locally”. But we’re still free to cook up food that originates in many cultures, and probably couldn’t avoid doing so even if we tried. Let’s not waste our resources by transporting food thousands of miles when we don’t have to. We are now in the midst of a movement to rely more on local foods, which makes perfect sense for the most part. Looking at the map, it could be said that it is a truly global cuisine. There is a large cultural variance in these food families, but they have also influenced each other over thousands of years. Mediterranean Cuisine is really a blend of three major food families Southern European, The Eastern Mediterranean, and North Africa. We’ll occasionally include some Indian dishes as specials, which, keeping in mind links that many of these same spices have to the Mediterranean, are not so far from the flavor profiles of our regular dishes. Local products such as locally caught fish influence what we provide as well, as well as local demand. Hence our concept emphasizes Mediterranean and Continental cuisine, as well as some American dishes. We like being internationally eclectic but we’re not all over the place at the same time.
At Ports of Call, we celebrate “The World on Your Plate” but there are rules that govern our menu choices.
