  • Another belated review, since I came here last month with three of my girl friends to celebrate Galentine's/Palentine's day. I would maybe give this place a 3.5 based on my first experience here. The dishes that were ordered and sampled included: warm artichoke and asiago cheese bake to start, seafood risotto, black angus new york striploin, pan seared duck breast, land and sea (basically steak and shrimp). In general I think all of the dishes were pretty good, although nothing was particularly noteworthy. The cheese dip we ordered to start was delicious, but it's still a pretty basic app that you can get pretty much anywhere else or even make yourself. I ordered the seafood risotto because I was having a craving for risotto after having the one at Brassaii the night before (see review here: http://www.yelp.ca/biz/brassaii-toronto?hrid=8R_SAEr6gxxpKfOw9tQwyQ) and while I thought the one at Portico was good, it just didn't QUITE compare. The steaks that my friends ordered were also just fine. I think the duck breast was probably the best dish of the night though - it was lovely and soft and juicy, and came with a mushroom risotto which was pretty tasty, but again, not really amazing. It's a smaller restaurant, being inside a hotel, but I thought it was cozy and a nice environment. Our servers were very nice and attentive, although I noticed sometimes they would reach right over the table to pour our water... which led to drips in our bread basket. Not a huge deal, but just a small point perhaps the staff could work on. The restaurant really got into the spirit for Valentine's day with their decor, but at the end of our meal we were surprised to each receive a little gift bag with three chocolates inside, compliments of the chef/restaurant with a really sweet little note. It was a fun little touch that we all really appreciated. On the whole, Portico is a pretty decent restaurant downtown - the food is good, and the prices are pretty standard compared to other places. While I'd say I enjoyed my experience here, and would recommend the restaurant, in the end there wasn't really anything that would really prompt me to come again.
