    The entire experience was great. Drinks, meal, dessert were superb. We sat outside under the tent and it was beautiful and warm with the heaters and fireplace. Everyone was very helpful and nice. Will definitely be making this place a regular spot!

    The wine that I wanted was unavailable by the bottle, but one of the wine experts recommended a beautiful bottle of wine. Our table ordered two of them. Delicious! Our food was off the chart fabulous. Enjoyed every minute of the experience well taken care of! Highly recommended!

    Outdoor seating is very noisy and hard to hear your guests. Food and service was outstanding.

    Been here multiple times! This time they were out of few things, bummer! They brought the check out before even checking with us if we wanted dessert, felt rushed. We had 6:45 reservation for 4 people.

    This was our first visit to Portico and we loved every second. The food was amazing and very memorable. The price was fair for upscale dining and the experience made it worth every penny. The staff were great. Dessert was the best part! We will definitely be back.

    First time visiting Portico and it was amazing. Beautiful and cozy restaurant inside and out! They have valet parking which is a plus taking in account the weather right now. They’re really prepared for keeping you warmed although winter. Service was friendly and all the food was delicious!! I tried the golden glow cocktail (Non-alcoholic) and I LOVED IT! Chicken Caesar salad and fried artichoke are a must as an appetizers. My husband got the penne a la vodka I got the seafood crepes (both delicious). To finished, we tried the tiramisu which I personally not a big fan but this was really good. Definitely we’ll coming back in the future, highly recommended for special occasions!
