We were visiting the winery in Utica and stopped at Canal Port for a bite to eat. We were greeted when we walked inside. Warm friendly smiles and we were immediately seated. The dining area is spacious, outside patio and full size bar area. The food was made with love. Everyone in my party was happy with their food and drinks. Freshly cooked and seasoned with perfection.
