Delicious fungi risotto and striped bass

Was there for breakfast. The huevos rancheros was delicious. Some had the omelet, which came with potatoes. The smoked salmon plate was delicious as well. Service was fast and attentive. Never busy in the morning. Gets busier at lunch.

Favorite spot in the area ! Consistent quality and pricing is fair / decent.

Breakfast solid 2.9 / 5.0 - Just meh food with attentive but sloppy service. For breakfast food like this I can just go to a diner. It's quite un-special and lacks flavor. Bacon is basically deep fried to a crisp, eggs & pancakes were basic but fine, everything else was fine. Coffee tastes good but was just seemed like the waiter didn't care, was very rushed (even though they weren't busy) and twice over poured coffee and didn't return to clean it up. Didn't care for the style of the waiter (rushed and disinterested, seemed like he doesn't enjoy job) but the helpers were great. Nice white table clothes and nice setting.

There are lots of amazing restaurants in Beverly Hills with pleasant employees, great food, and wonderful service. Porta Via is not one of them. Absolutely terrible service. Ordered the branzino - the smallest piece of fish with 3 spears of asparagus. Manager emailed me offering to make up for the horrible behavior of the host but didn't follow through on his offer.

The food was okay, nothing crazy. The tomato sauce and the mozzarella were average. The staff is not extremely friendly. The place is convenient when walking in Beverly Hills but the atmosphere is not amazing neither.

We were there for brunch. We loved the atmosphere and the food.
