   Very upscale menu, delicious food with servers who are courteous but not friendly. Beverage refills lacked when there really was no reason for it to be a problem. Dirty windows at dinner as well at breakfast the next morning. Complimentary bread would suit this style restaurant, but isn’t offered. I can see why it wasn’t so busy. Eating in the rooms is a great option over over spending on mediocre service and expensive plates.

   Decent food. The chicken was great. The steak was so-so. Dessert was so-so. Drinks were good. Very loud, not an intimate dinner setting. The waitress was wonderful, but I’ve had much better food.

   my wife had the pork tenderloin, cooked just right a little pink in the center. asked to sub potatoes for the roasted romenesco, they gave her the Lionaise fried potatoes (she said she could eat these all day long) i had the Halibut. nice parmesan crust with brussel sprouts & cous cous. very nice meal & would recomend either of these to order.

   The halibut was dry over cooked and had little flavor. The drink service was slow, my wife got her wine right away, it took 20 minuets for a scotch on the rocks. At the end the waitress mixed up or check with some one else. We live here, it was our anniversary and I wanted to treat my wife to a nice dinner. We were both very disappointed and plan not to go back.

   We had a server her name was “Osi” her answer was no!! On everything we asked her!!! Not let me see what we can do for you!., first the floor was dirty from the meal before ours., we had a nice location to sit., but the windows are very dirty., very bad streaks on glass., and the view is the high light of the seating!!! Over looking the whole valley!!.,server took our order., we ask for a mock tail and she said they don’t have a menu for that., we ask her to ask the bar tender and she said they don’t ! Make them at this time? We’re there celebrating a one year sobriety for my wife., all we wanted was a tart drink grapefruit cranberry squeeze a lemon with an orange peel and it and some seltzer water would’ve been great. Nope! I ordered the tomahawk ribeye. 39 oz. And as we waited the server came back to the table and asked us to upgrade to the 44 oz. Because they just sold there last 39oz. I said that just to big I’ll have the red snapper., she leaves and then comes back and say our chief has already put the tomahawk on the grill and we can down charge you the cost of the 39oz. I said no and the server said are you sure we put it on the grill already soooo I agreed to it., when it came out it was over cooked and tough! It was a Wagu steak and should have melted., it was tough to put a fork in and cut with a knife., they would not take it back and fix the issue. I ate 10oz of the steak and said no take it back I can’t eat this!., she said sorry., the sun was setting and was shining a bad glare thru the glass and I ask to lower the shade and she said it was broken and could not do it by pulling it down because she had a broken toe !!! Ok well get some else., nope! So I had to sit so the post between the windows was blocking the sunset., when the check arrived they gave us a members discount of 20%., what! We got a discount that was give to members all the time for a meal that was bad! Stephanie the manager would not remove the steak from our order !!

    We had two meals at Portal this weekend: dinner and breakfast. Both were exceptional. Well-seasoned, perfectly cooked and super delicious. My husband and I both said it's some of the best food we've had all year. The view is also incredible. It's not inexpensive, but I think what you get and the quality of the meal is worth the cost. We'll be back next month!

    Nice to see that Chef Taylor is on board plying his culinary mastery of the foods we all like. We’re looking for different menus as time goes on that satisfy the palette and demonstrate the growing skills of the kitchen staff in this post pandemic time.

    One waitress at 6:00pm left us waiting more than normal. Some definitive description of the desire to have steak medium rare resulted in medium to medium well. The flavor was very good but the miss on cooking the steak made a difference. The waitress was apologetic and ended up giving us a discount. I was offered another try at getting the steak right but that disrupts the timing for others at the table.

    $77 ribeye tasted like a $5 steak. Horrible! Brussel sprouts were burnt! Ahi tuna was fabulous! Wedge salad was tasty, but small! Broccolini was tasty! Burger was tasty! Salmon salad was fabulous! Cheesecake crust was fabulous!

    Although we were thought the staff was very nice. We were disappointed to not be able to order the special, it was sold out and had to find an alternative dinner choice. The mushroom manicotti was not edible. Unfortunately not a good impression this visit.

    Atmosphere was beautiful, with panoramic views. Service was ok, friendly staff but long wait times between ordering and drinks (coffee and soda) and even getting food. Potato corn truffle soup: creamy and thick, very filling but needed more seasoning. Chickpea salad: very good! Flavors were on point. Acid cut the soup. Snapper: Rice was amazingly cooked. Fish was a little dry, batter was dry as well. Lamb and Brussel sprouts: very burnt to the point where the bone broke off and the center of the bone was black. Would not recommend. They discounted the dish which was appreciated. Contemplated desserts but was not offered and instead was only offered the check.

    Portal’s needs help! The food was horrible, every dish we had was terrible. The crab cakes had no flavor and appeared to be salmon not crab, the gnocchi was covered in cheap white cheese the kind you’d use on Mac and cheese and drizzled with olive oil, the sea bass was fried in oil and resting on top of the chef’s interpretation of risotto again same cheap white cheese and lots of oil. Menu was limit, the table next to us had the chop salad which probably would have been a better choice. What use be a great northwest menu has deteriorated into a couple of lousy items made very poorly. My son could have made them better with the same ingredients.

    Portals is woefully understaffed (so is the entire lodge), however our server was kind and did a pretty good job. The food was enjoyable and it was quiet with an outstanding view of the surrounding hills and trees.

    I got the steak a bit overpriced but was still good, my boyfriend got pork chop, was very good and his risotto was delicious. Our waitress was very friendly, but she did not tell us that refills on soda are not free and he was charged for two sodas, which isn't a huge deal huge but would have appreciated if she had told us. The decor was beautiful but the chairs were uncomfortable. Overall a good dining experience.

    This is a large beautiful restaurant. We were seated in front of a large gas fireplace. Those with backs to the fireplace can get too hot. Service was very good but the food could use some improvement. I had salmon and it was overcooked. The steaks were cooked as requested. My husband said the fish on the fish and chips dinner were not hot and he did not like it and gave most of it to another in our party. I realize this is a difficult time during the Pandemic but for the price of the food in this restaurant it could be better.

    We enjoyed Portals Restaurant very much during our recent short stay at Suncadia Lodge. Our dinners were absolutely delicious and the service was fantastic. We would definitely eat there again on our next visit. The Double Pork Chop with Risotto was very good as was their Cheeseburger.
