About Us
The name Port Land Grille comes from a cherished vacation (and scouting trip) to Portland, Oregon where the predominant mentality of the chefs we met there was to create their menus focusing on the wealth of premium ingredients found just miles away in the Willamette Valley. While we could've moved there in a heartbeat, we truly love the North Carolina coast where Wilmington is known as the "Port City." The name "Port-Land" is a play on that as well, illustrating our own commitment to using the entire country's bounty from the sea and the land.
