Great esthetic and beautiful decor. The food was amazing and our server was very caring and attentive.
This is a great place for a special dinner out. My husband and I had the butternut squash ravioli and the sea bass. Both were very delicious. Our server gave us great recommendations. Enjoyed sitting on the heated patio even though the evening cool. We will be back and will definitely recommend this place to others.
We have a lovely dinner here with a large group of friends. They were able to easily accommodate our large group. Service was wonderful and everything I ordered was delicious. Plenty of street parking. I ordered the meat balls, beet salad and a few sushi rolls. I also had the apple crumble which was so good! Our server was great! The restaurant is designed beautifully. Will be back!
Great ambiance! We enjoyed setting outside in the booth. Service was great! Lovely evening and we would go back and would set at bar to have a drink! Didn't try the pasta but should have...
Loved it! Wanted to take my husband somewhere for great sushi and Porta Via did not disappoint! Menu offerings for every kind of diet. Bar before dinner was fun and drinks were expertly made. From the hostesses to the bar tenders to the wait staff, really couldn't have been better! Definitely on our list for places to come back to!
The restaurant went above and beyond to provide exceptional customer service, ensuring that I was well taken care of. The food was outstanding, and the contemporary atmosphere, along with the fantastic outdoor dining area, made the experience even more enjoyable.
TL;DR: such a jewel in the desert. Fun flashback decor paired with delicious food and strong drinks. Great service. No complaints. Will be back for sure. Ordered: - Porta Via salad (4/5): the butter lettuce was so good and truly made the salad what it was. Subbed for any other lettuce, the salad wouldn't have worked. - Kale and quinoa (5/5): YUM. Great texture, good flavor balance. Could crush 2 plates by myself - Parm Alaskan halibut (5/5 - MVP): Didn't think much of it when it was served but wow each bite was perfect. The crust was perfectly seared and the grilled asparagus was perfectly complemented by the sauce. - Funghi Papardelle (4/5): Really creamy sauce and lots of mushrooms to go with each bite. Would've preferred a little more acidic tastes to cut through the cream but all in all delicious Coming every time I'm in the area for sure Cheers, Porta Via!
Exceptional service with a beautiful interior. It's a nice balance of upscale and elevated casual. We loved the open air concept which lets the main dining area bleed into the outside. Great California desert ambiance! Would highly recommend the fried calamari and the linguine vangole. The tuna tartar was good but not mind blowing. Looking for a beverage to start with? We highly recommend the pali spritz. Perfect drink for a warm evening! Top off the evening with the chocolate cake and ice cream. Topnotch.
