About Portal

Portal is a restaurant that offers a pleasant dining experience. The covered patio with heaters creates a cozy atmosphere, and the Mimosa pitchers and dishes like Benedicts and Portal Burgers make for an enjoyable brunch. The breakfast potatoes are also a highlight. The food is tasty, and while not spectacular, the friendly service adds to the positive vibe. Guests can enjoy the atmosphere, especially during Thursday comedy nights, which many find entertaining. The garlic fries are highly recommended, and the overall ambiance, with a dark bar inside and outdoor seating, offers a comfortable setting. The staff, including Melvin and the owner, are warm and thoughtful, providing kind service and great views overlooking the lake. The coffee is hot, mimosas are tasty, and options like scrambled eggs or Benedict are enjoyed by visitors. The garlic knots are a good snack, and the beer flights are affordable with delicious pineapple mimosas. The restaurant is well priced, and its proximity to Lake Merritt makes it perfect for a relaxing afternoon or evening outing. The outdoor area is lively and can be crowded and loud at times. The bathroom is clean, but the service may be slow when busy, especially during understaffed nights. Parking is only available on the street.

We were forgotten 😔 but great place to eat! Try the beet burger 🍔

Great place to have dinner! Absolutely enjoyed the trivia night they had. The garbage bread is a must try! The penne pasta is delicious. The burgers are perfect! Let’s not forget the chips and the salsa. Everything was great! Service was superb.
Definitely made my family happy to eat here before we headed out in the morning.
We will be back next time we come out here.
