Great meal and service, would like to see the menu offer some different entrees - maybe seasonally since we visit this restaurant often. We had a delicious meal and service was outstanding. Server suggested the Fig, Prosciutto & Brie flatbread appetizer which was superb to start our meal. Our entrees were Chilean Sea Bass and the Carbonara with braised short rib - we ordered additional protein of shrimp. Highly recommend for a special occasion gathering or date night!

Birthday celebration. Dinner was fabulous, many choices and prices were not as high as I expected. Drinks were great - large glasses & pours, good prices (vs. Centrifico bar within casino, rip off over there!). Overall wonderful experience. Thank you!

Atmosphere was nice, food was good, service was decent I would recommend for a nice dinner out. However a little pricey for what you get, everything is ala cart . The thing that really ruined the whole night was a group of guys that came in to the private room that were extremely loud and obnoxious and could be heard from anywhere in the restaurant even with the doors closed and the staff did nothing to address it.

My husband and I dined there for his birthday on a Friday night. We were greeted by a very friendly hostess and were immediately impressed by the restaurant itself. Very relaxing, not too loud and not super busy. Our waitress was attentive initially, but somewhat disappeared after our meals were delivered. I ordered a specialty cocktail off their cocktail menu and it was delicious. The menu was simple and the entrees, we felt, were somewhat basic. There were no specials that evening. However, their small plates had a large and unique variety, so we chose to order several different small plates. The waygu meatball was amazing, the grilled octopus was a wonderful blend of flavors, the mussels were clean and fresh, and the fried burrata was our favorite. The calamari however, was a disappointment. Overly breaded and overly fried. Our plan was to order an entree after the small plates, but the small plates were not small. Definitely got plenty of food. Overall a good dining experience and we will return.

All the staff were great. My fish dinner was ok but not great, i had a side of pasta and received a totally different dish than what was ordered. My food was not hot but Luke warm. My husband ordered a steak and mashed potatoes. He ordered his steak medium and it was medium well and also not hot as should be expected. He said his steak had little flavor as did the mashed potatoes, everything was just kind of blah. We both expected way more from Porticos. Our bill was just under $140 for the two of us. Not what we were expecting.

I was there last on 12/30/2021 (night before NYE) and it was relatively quiet - although not empty. The bartender (Jane) was there by herself (no other bartenders or bar backs) and she did an amazing job with a smile on her face. The manager at Portico is also a top-notch guy. Very friendly and makes you feel welcome. When I walked in the hostess (Renee) was kind and efficient as well. It was just an all around great experience. The food and drinks were also tremendous. Highly recommend.

the food was very salty. the shrimp cocktail was good. the soup was salty and lukewarm. the brussel sprouts had a nice flavor but were not crispy and again lukewarm. the bib lettuce salad was drenched in dressing but the lettuce was fresh. the steak was not below average quality and expensive for the type of steak. no sea. it felt like the steak was leftover. our waitress seemed to be bothered by us. she did ask us how we liked everything but not until we were ready to pay the bill. the person bringing the food was friendlier and more attentive.

Last night was our first dining experience at Portico and we were not disappointed. We were seated in a smaller room and even had the chance to be in the same room with that night's entertainer Terry Fator thanks to the gentleman that seated us and even were able to get a photo with him! The service and food were both exceptional and would certainly dine there again!

What a delicious treat before our show. The manager and receptionist were delightful and our server, Maria, worked hard to keep us happy! Drinks were perfect and full...appetizer (Wahu meatball) was phenomenal and almost could gave been a meal in itself. The pasta was homemade and perfectly cooked as was my 5oz filet. The Cheese potatoes casserole hit the spot and yes....we had leftovers but HAD to sample the flavors...including classic Creme Brule
