I visited Portobello for the umpteenth time in February, for the other half's Birthday and it was as good as ever. I love this place and if you're after a steak, you won't find a better restaurant in Oxford. The service is always friendly and it is always busy on a Friday/Saturday night, so worth booking in advance. The wine... More

We held our netball club end of season awards dinner at Portabello last week. We were quite late to organise and already had a fixed budget, but David was so flexible and came up with some great 2 course menu ideas for us that worked brilliantly! The room was so luxurious and we were even able to bring in some... More

Good menu, nice prices, jolly staff - all went together for a quality meal in a great atmosphere (even on a Monday night!)

Upon arriving we were greeted by Hope our lovely waitress who congratulated us on our anniversary, she... More

On a cold tuesday night Portabello was warm, welcoming and had a relaxed ambience. From the time we entered to a friendly, professional greeting to leaving with a cheerful farewell the whole experience was delightful. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff - our server was helpful, bubbly and efficient. Our main courses of succulent Short Rib of beef... More

We arrived early for our booking and were seated immediately, the restaurant was very quiet and so we had the choice of pretty much the whole restaurant! The staff here are attentive and welcoming, the ambiance is warm with appropriate lighting in the evening. I love the lights outside on the terrace, reminds me of being in Palma! I would... More
