Best Restaurants for Groups in Lakeview / East Lakeview

Our waiter James B. was wonderful helpful, patient and fast. The entree’, ravioli, while delicious was not as hot as it should have been and the charge was removed. The guacamole was tops, the soups were delicious and both were enjoyable. The booth was perfect for us and noise level was conversational friendly.

We’ve been hesitant to visit the Walnut Room due to food allergies but decided to give it a try. From the moment we sat down, Jesus, our waiter, was so attentive. He noticed our allergen card in the table and immediately addressed it, letting us know he find out anything we needed to know and would talk to the chef personally to see what our son could eat. We’ve always wanted to visit this beautiful restaurant but never did out of fear of allergies. But Jesus helped to make this experience amazing for our whole family. Thank you for taking the time to understand our allergies and walk us through the menu. It was a great start to the holiday season. We will be back again!

The service started out strong, then petered out. Our meal, however, was quite good, and we would most likely return.

Had an amazing dining experience at Portofino today! The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The service was attentive and friendly, making the experience even better. I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely return!

Our favorite neighborhood gem in Chicago! Great food always and the staff works their butt off to create a wonderful experience!
