Porta Via Pacific Palisades

Great and beautiful restaurant. The service from our servers was kind and excellent. The food was yummy. The fried calamari was so fresh. well seasoned and cooked to perfection. I forgot to take a photo of my crabcakes (2) and avocado salad, but they were also delicious. The double chocolate dessert still has me wating more a day later . Can't forget my hot mint tea, I could tell the mint was freshly picked from the garden. Delicious.

If you are looking forward to having an enjoyable time and delicious meal, I would suggest you to think twice before you go to Porta Via! For 18 minutes of waiting we were not offered even water (not to mention not turning on the heater) even though the staff passed by us at least 10 times including the lady named Alex, who escorted us to the table. After that much time of waiting in almost empty restaurant we noticed that newly arriving guests were being helped by a waiter right away. So it’s clear that this place is being prejudice to their guests. When I approached Alex and asked her why that was happening, she decided to find out who was in charge of our area, which probably was what she was supposed to do from the beginning. But at this point we didn’t want to stay in this place anymore and had a nice dinner next door. I’ve been to this place before and they have a decent food which I recommended to my friends and family and I’m absolutely taking my recommendations back. Keep away if you don’t want to spoil your vibe.

Been here a couple times. Great atmosphere inside, cool bar. Cocktails, drinks, and food were good too. Recommend!

Todo espectacular. La comida, el servicio y el ambiente. Superó nuestras expectativas. Super recomendable.

Food portions are too small for what you get. However, atmosphere is great.
