  • This has been on my list of places to try for a while so I was excited to check it out but whoa what a let down. Market square was full of people last night so it was great for people watching bad for parking. Poros has a $10 valet service but do a drive by spin around the block and you might get lucky and find free street parking a block away like we did. The restaurant is sparkly & beautiful w/ giant fish tanks, a huge bar area & super fancy chandeliers plus the doors open to outdoor seating. Since it was hot out we sat inside (didn't help I was still sweaty). We were led to the way back to sit at a table that had a nice view of the fountain but I wish we were more up near the front or in one booths. For drinks I ordered the red sangria and hubby got the Lebanese rosè (who knew there was such a thing?) - he won on drinks - my sangria was too syrupy sweet - yuck. Grilled octopus we got to start was good - not chewy & good flavor. For dinner we got lamb chops and the grilled Chilean sea bass - get the fish-you order the kind and size you want and how to prepare it. Sizes range from 5-8 oz and for my fish it was $5/oz. It's a la carte for the fish so get a side or you'll just have a piece of fish on a plate (seriously). They didn't have any rice/grain side dish (they should change that) but I saw they served farro with some entrees so I asked for a small bowl of that and the server made it happen. My fish was heavenly - so buttery and seasoned perfectly. That's why it sucked so bad that lovey's lamb chops, while cooked to the right temp, were bland. And the rest of what was plated-fancy string beans and some kind of purée wasn't worth it. Once he got the salt and pepper it was a little better but honestly, he makes better lamb chops than these - so underwhelming. Service was weird- our waiter was a young kid who talked super fast, almost bordering on pompous. He didn't seem like he had a lot of tables so he wasn't busy he was probably just a douche? He made himself scarce for the rest of our meal which sucked because we needed water and maybe we would've ordered more drinks but he didn't check so we just ate quickly and skedaddled. We should've left our water glass tipped over since it was empty most of the night. Won't be back - too pricey to be underwhelmed with the food and I can get Chilean sea bass just as good and cheaper and with a full plated dinner at Mitchell's. Wish it was better because I love market square
