Having read some pretty mixed reviews, we set out tentatively for an evening meal at Portobello's. When I phoned to reserve a table a few days in advance, the person I spoke to was abrupt to say the least. It didn't instill confidence. Food - A little disappointed by the size of the menu - there wasn't a huge selection... more

Food was decent, that's were it ended! Seated at the worst table in the place. (next to the bar) Staff and patrons waiting for their table inside kept banging into our table. 1 hour wait for appetizers. Asked three times and kept being told were sorry its coming. customers who came in in after us were eating entrees before we... more

Food was horrible. Half the food was cold. If you can't cook a steak to order, it's time to give it up. Service was just as bad. Tables got mixed up, entrees where brought out before the appetizers. Then the entrees were served cold/reheated, probably left around. Absolutely horrendous dining experience. more

Food was okay, I had lamb and it wouldn't order it again! The service was terrible. The servers were very pretentious and "snobby". We felt very rushed during our meal and we were right by the door so it was loud. more

This restuarant has one of the best views in St. John's, unfortunately that is about all it has going for it. I have been there on several occasions, original location and now the new one. It is always lacking something. The first few times, the food was great but the service was terrible. The last time, both the food and... more

After hearing this was the hottest new place to go in St. John's my fiance and I decided to go there as we like to go for a nice dinner every year when we go back to Newfoundland. We got seated in the lounge area and the view was amazing! It all went downhill from there. The location we were... more

Me and my wife went there last night for our 2nd wedding anniversary. The staff was friendly and the food was great. We both had the cod tongues for an appetizer which were the best I have ever had. I had the salmon which was cooked to perfection and my wife had the chicken which she loved as well. We... more

I have been at this restaurant a few times and love the food. They always use the freshest ingredients! And the prices are decent. Now that they have their new location opened overlooking the St. John's Harbour I am sure that the view will be great as well. more
