Route 1 was closed and I had to return to Carmel from Big Sur and took Freeway 101 instead. So another pasta at Portabella! Always going back for it.
Had the mussels paired with Daou rose and risotto with salmon, both were off the charts!! The waiter was super nice and a musician came to serenade us! So beautiful for our anniversary!! We sat outside, only issue was the crowds of people passing by.
Awesome as always! I have been coming here for around 15yrs and they never have disappointed and the that’s the lords truth! I don’t work there or know anyone affiliated with the restaurant so if your in Carmel by the sea be sure to hit them up!
