    Portico's main claim to fame is the atmosphere! The outdoor dining experience in the lovely garden is beyond compare to any other outdoor dining spots. The food is usually pretty good but the nightly specials truly shine! We had the Rock fish and it was the best fish of any kind I've every had! Service is wonderful as well. They have enough staff to take care of all the tables.

    Food was excellent! Big Ang pizza was delicious! Buffalo wings and cheese sticks were very tasty. Vibe was relaxed. Unfortunately I ordered a cocktail that was pricey and when served, the glass was barely 1/2 full. It seemed odd and I was also disappointed in the taste. Other than that, our experience was positive!

    Prior to retirement, I hosted business dinners regularly. Now,….We are twice a year visitors. I love the Super Tuscan and any dish my wife chooses for us to split! The food is always great and abundant.

    The atmosphere is perfect for relaxing, enjoying a beverage, and good company! I recommend making a reservation and opting for the Adirondack chairs, as they offer great views of the stage when there’s a performer and provide shade. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and has become a new favorite!
