I had a wonderful time at this place. Not only was the food amazing, but the service was outstanding. The clam chowder and spicy hawaiian pizza were so good, and our server Sabrina was incredibly kind and attentive. The ambiance was great too, they even had live music in the background, not only that the prices were incredibly reasonable. 10/10 would come again.

So Portobello's I haven't been to in a long time and they've come a long way. I came because somebody was singing live music and I can honestly say Portobello's is fantastic. I ordered the money Burger which was recommended by Ronnie who was our wonderful server thank you Ronnie you're fabulous. Our table also ordered and I have a picture of the salmon sandwich and I think the Cuban and they were all fabulous thank you so much again Ronnie you you are fabulous

I was so impressed by the spot in Salinas near the Steinbeck center. It is very hard to find good gluten-free bread at any restaurant let alone the option in general. I had the tuna out and it was fantastic! They have American style options with some flair. Great decor, and very fair prices. I will be back!

We gathered here to have brunch the day after a high school reunion. We had a party of 11 people. The staff was great. We sat on the back patio with just our group, which was cool because we were rather loud at times. The servers and bartenders were great. The place was clean and nice. The food was good.I would recommend this place and I will go back.

My law firm hosted a work 30th anniversary for a co-worker here on April 6th, and we had a wonderful experience. Maynard, the manager, was so great. We discussed the menu ahead of time, and he and his team were very on top of refilling appetizers and drinks for the 22 people at our table. I would absolutely host another event there, and working with Maynard was seamless. Thank you again for helping us host the event and allowing the us to have fun and enjoy ourselves instead of having to worry about all the semantics.

Stopped in for a quick bite bc it was a beautiful day here in Salinas CA, So we opted to sit outside. The staff was very friendly. One of the Chefs stopped at our table on his way out and recommended the quesadilla. I dont eat cheese but I sure was tempted. I had side of coleslaw and a piece of baked chicken, with a lemon wedge and iced tea. Prices were decent.

The place itself is really nice to walk around downtown area of Salinas but the best part was to eat... First, fried calamari and the a GREAT cheesecake for dessert. I also liked the welcome environment and smiles that made me feel at home. So, yes, I'll be back to try the chocolate truffle cake (with no flour?!)
