Amazing experience. The food was delicious. It really felt like there was a lot of time and effort into providing the guest with the flavors of coastal Portugal/Spain while still being incredibly balanced. Well deserving of their 1 Michelin star. On top of the great food, the staff was extremely nice and personable and were more than happy to answer our questions as we went through the tasting. It felt very 1 on 1 as the chef was making most of our courses right in front of us. They even made us a list of all the other restaurants they would recommend in Chicago which is above and beyond expectations.

Wow, what a great place, had such a good time. Went here with my supper club and enjoyed some great dishes. Primarily seafood, including a seaweed carbonara. Really unique dishes artfully done. Maggie our waitress was really good, explaining all the dishes presented. We had all the seasonal expressions dishes, my favorite was the turbot and oysters. We met the chef at the end of the meal, what a nice man and very passionate about his food. Also had cocktails at the bar with Manny, he was great too, shaking up some really unique cocktails. We had so much fun. Would definitely go back.

Great service and wait staff (except for one immoral item I’ll talk about later). Food was beautifully presented, however, the 10 course tasting menu left me and my wife laughing hysterically half-way through. No offense to the chef, but some of the items like the toast with sea urchin and the monkfish liver shooter made both of us want to throw up. Just tasted pretty bad. We both like seafood (granted were not super adventurous with seafood but we still try it) but some of the flavors here were extreme. We’ve been to many Michelin star restaurants all around Chicago and we left here thinking that it was a bit overpriced. The worst part is their processing fee. Do you really think people are going to carry around $600 in cash during a pandemic? I think that’s immoral. Charged us $55! If this was a charge that goes to the wait staff, that would be fine. But if this is just pure revenue to the owners, then that’s taking advantage of the patrons.

Be prepared to spend $$$$ on an amazing tasting menu that transports you to Spain. It's a sea focused palate that doesn't disappoint. You may have to supplement. Technically there is no wine by the glass outside of the tasting menu pairing but they can offer anything that's opened. I loved the ambience and decor. Great service. Delicious food. It's definitely a place to take your boo if you want to splurge and impress.

I had the pleasure of dining at this wonderful restaurant recently and I must say that it was an exceptional experience. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles from the staff and the atmosphere was very inviting. The food was absolutely delicious and had some very unique flavours. Each dish was beautifully presented and tasted even better than it looked. The chefs clearly have a lot of talent and passion for what they do. The ambience of the restaurant was also very impressive. The décor was tasteful and elegant, and it created a cozy and intimate atmosphere that made us feel relaxed and comfortable throughout our meal. The lighting was just right, and the music played in the background added to the overall experience. The service was also top-notch. The wait staff were friendly, attentive and knowledgeable about the menu.

Had an amazing dinner last night. Our table had the chefs tasting menu and it was incredible. If you are worried about certain ingredients, just don’t think about it and go for it. It’s amazing how each dish brings out the best flavors from each ingredient- all while complimenting each other so perfectly. The Bacalao, fire roasted oysters, uni toast, and anchovy (I normally hate anchovies) we’re my favorite dishes- the steak was the perfect way to complete the meal. The service was great and really described all of the thought/history that goes into the food (regions, locations,etc) , cocktails were top notch. Thanks for an incredible experience! Will definitely be back.

Amazing experience. When you enter, you will be taken by the beautiful decoration. Service was great and food was very unique and delicious. We sat at the chef's table, watch him make things over the fire. I was blown away by the decoration.

A Michelin Starred restaurant lived up to the title! We had an early Valentines day celebration here yesterday, and the Porto team didn't disappoint us. Each cuisine that we ordered was intriguingly delicious!!! KUDOS to the great Chef's, sweet and attentive Staff, and to the whole team that was just nice, well mannered, and happy people! We were seated at the Chef's table that gave us the view of all the actions on how they work together. We started it with the interesting fish oil shots complimentary from the restaurant. Devin, our host for the night was excitedly explained each menu to us.We started our orders with Uni-Toast, and Fire-Roasted Oysters! Delicious and Fresh! Our Favorites are the ff: Matrimonio de Anchoas (Anchovies), Diver Scallops, Grilled Ocropus, and Jamon desserts! We ended up ordering our 2nd plates of everything!! That's how good it was and SUPER FRESH! It's one of the Best Highest Quality Unique food that we've had. We will definitely come back!
