If I could give Porta Blu more STARS I would. We went for our 25 th Anniversary and they treated us like royalty. The NIA culture for taking pride in delivering caring service was evident as soon as we arrived.
A blush of rose petals awaited us at our candle lit table with complimentary, sparkling champagne. The food was simply and artistically plated and full of delicious flavors.
The asthetic was both welcoming and romantic. Lighting- warm, music- acoustic guitar.
To top all this off, there were pieces of thought provoking and whimsical art everywhere! Tucked in surprising places. As an artist and enthusiast myself, this made our evening magic!!
Loved the exotic shakshuka breakfast, and the lamb tagine was an amazing dinner. A giant lamb shank on the bone oh, it was delicious and tender and well-seasoned. Staff was very friendly and helpful each time.
Excellent wines and local beers on the menu too.
great place to hang out. Food was just ok. Not very crowded.
HAS POTENTIAL BUT NEEDS WORK - and we left hungry. Food was uneven. Corn soup special was excellent. Chicken Kabob well cooked but small. Server failed to mention that the Ahi special was an appetizers - so I ordered it as my entrée. Bread could be good but was dry. Not stale, just dry. The restaurant itself is a really nice space and opens onto the outdoors. Soup and salad were good portions. Seems like the chef can definitely cook, but they need to enhance the menu and sort out the portions. The ingredients they work with seemed to be very good quality. Has potential to be 4 or 5, but for now a 3.
