This restaurant ambience hasn't changed in many years. The live music in the bar area is pleasing & not so loud that you can't carry on a conversation. Appetizers are excellent , especially the Margarita Dip. The pasta dishes are very good. Great choices with chicken, meatballs, sausage and more. Service is great, pleasant staff.

Husband and I went here for a date night and the food was fantastic! We both got pasta and enjoyed the complimentary bread.

We've been going here for years and I don't understand the hate in some of the reviews. It's great Italian food by West Michigan standards, and for being on the channel and next to ice cream, the amphitheater and the fountain, this is a great spot. The service is generally good. In the busy season they have a lot of student helping out and their experience is limited. But they get it done, try hard and we've never had a serious issue. Foods great.

So good! We'd originally tried to get a table elsewhere but settled on Portobello. So glad we did. Garlic bread, salads, ravioli appetizer, fish n chips, spaghetti were all delicious. Our server Veda was attentive and patient with our kiddos too.

First of all, the yelp reviews for this place are not doing it ANY justice. My boyfriend and I were walking down the street and came across this wonderful restaurant. First, we ordered the Porto margarita dip (not pictured because we ate it too fast) which was delicious. Next, we ordered the Chicken Alouette and Lobster Crab stuffed Ravioli. Let me just say, that was the best ravioli I'd ever had. The meat inside the noodles was so soft and tender a that I had to check if it was even stuffed into the noodles (which it was lol). My boyfriend absolutely adored his chicken Alouette and cleaned his plate. Lastly, we ordered the tiramisu for dessert. It was delicious! Shoutout to Sadie for being such a good waitress! She was so nice, down to earth and very attentive to us. Please, give that girl a raise! Yes, the wait for our food was long but it was a busy night and that's to be expected when you have to wait for a table in the first place. It was definitely worth the wait! The only comment I have is that I wish they would serve complimentary bread because I wanted the leftover sauce on my plate haha! Overall, this place does not get the recognition it deserves and I'd highly recommend.

Came here with my 3 buddies and a guy who is 69 (well he is going to be in 1 week but he likes to tell people he is because I think he thinks other people will think it is funny if he tells them he is 69 is his thought) and his wife is two years younger than him. They been together since he was 15. At least that is when they met. I had the lobster crab ravioli and it was really good the vodka sauce was so good that after I finished I asked our waitress Rebecca (not Rebecca black but at first I wished it was but later I realized I was glad we had this Rebecca because she kept refilling my Arnold Palmer which was tasty and she even let me taste test it before I ordered it) what the sauce was. This is when one big laugh came, she said it's vodka sauce and I said, "oh that is why I feel funny". Honestly not one of my better jokes just a normal one but one of my buddy who apparently doesn't get to be around above average funny people often gave it a big laugh and kept laughing. I guess my delivery was fire. The entertainment here is tight. The main singer who's name is Steve I think kept looking at us and coming over to our table and playing with us and let us play instruments and sing up on stage. He was tight. Rock on brother. Bros before ho€s.

We were in town for the Coast Guard Festival so things were really busy in town and this restaurant did not look overcrowded so we thought we would try it. They offered us indoor or outdoor seating and when we said indoor initially they said that was a 30 minute wait so we decided to sit outside so we could be seated immediately. The waitress was very sweet and helpful. We decided to split one appetizer and one entree so that we wouldn't have any leftovers. For our appetizer We got spinach artichoke dip and it came with tortilla chips. It was really good and so cheesy. It came with the perfect amount of chips. For our entree we got the shrimp scampi with linguini and the waitress brought it to us already split on two plates which was awesome!! It came with quite a few shrimp and a lot of pasta. The taste was very good and everything was great about our experience. The picture I took was just my plate of food and my friend got the same sized portion.
