   Menu is not large but interesting - everything we ordered was delicious and we will go back. Do not be afraid to try something new and if you are unsure - ask the server for suggestions. The pork dumplings and Guinea Fowl (very similar to duck in texture I thought) were delicious. Plates are meant to be shared and the above with 2 veggie sides were more than enough for 2 people.

   Easily one of the best meals we've ever had. From the moment we walked through the doors the service was outstanding and the menu was explained to us in a way that we could plan our meal without leftovers. We had the pork dumplings, carrots, and the ribeye. My husband is adamant about medium rare cooks but we got the ribeye at medium (for me) and it was unbelievable how tasty and tender it was. Bring about to sit and watch the chefs prepare in the Kitchen was like watching an episode of The Bear. Can't wait to go back.

   Family of four celebrating two birthdays! Extremely pleased with the food and the service. The meals were high end quality but very budget friendly. The staff was excellent and accommodating. Will definitely be booking very soon.

   Food, as always, was amazing. Great portions for sharing and we were pleased to hear they are now offering half portions of their vegetables if you want to try multiple. Highly recommend going if you want an amazing meal and a fun night out.

    Casually excellent. Dishes to share with a group of friends and family. The vegetables are local and superb - the parsnips with hummus in particular popped but also the rutabaga with chilis, beets and carrots. Cod (en papillote) was perfect. Don’t forget the pastries - they are world class. The partridge berry trifle (unexpectedly) surpassed even the near perfect chocolate cake with crème anglais. A sweet substitute for alcohol in Banuary (although the wine list/library is first class too - next time). Thank you.

    Portage’s family style menu is incredibly tasty and has something for everyone. If dumplings are on the menu they are a must-have (especially when finished with chili crisp). Chicken is served with perfectly crispy skin and the vegetable sides were creative and delicious. Service was attentive and incredibly friendly - every last food and drink item was brought to the table with a major sense of pride, and rightfully so. One of the best restaurant experiences we have had in St. John’s in recent years.

    Fabulous food- every dish was exceptional. Wine suggested by the Sommelier was perfect with the meal. The price was a little high but worth the tastes. Service was excellent. I find Portage noisy and I like to be able to comfortably converse so we tend to go early when the restaurant is less crowded and quieter. Overall an excellent dinner out!

    A gem of an exp;erience, just like last time. This time we ordered scallops, beef carpaccio, "chips and dip" (the most delicious cod-based dip I've ever savoured), carrots and beets. I also enjoyed a gin-based drink. Everything was divine. Can't wait to return.

    The meal was of variable quality; some dishes were excellent, while some were forgettable. If we come back we would order the chips-and-dip, potatos, and dumplings for sure. The rest of the dishes were uninspired. The portion sizes were appropriate and the service was excellent.
