Portobello's was the masterstroke of restaurateur Gerry Haynes, whose lifetime of experience in the food service industry brought five star international dining standards to St. John's. Chef Edward Farrell is trained in classical French cooking, but his menus are truly global in scope and inspiration. Shortly after opening two years ago, Portobello's quickly gained huge popularity among local food critics. In 2010, the restaurant moved to its current location, which offers a stunning ocean view to accompany our fare, plus three times the space to serve our ever-growing clientele. Portobello's has seating for 150 spanning two floors, including a modern and beautifully decorated dining area with optional private rooms. With its delightful atmosphere and exceptional cuisine, it represents the perfect match of old world charm to the modern dining experience.

Portobello's was one of the best dining experiences I have had in many months! Great menu selection for both food and wine - something for everyone. The server was very attentive to my food "sensitivities" and made great suggestions. The veal was excellent and the cod received several rave reviews - caught fresh that day! Great food, great service, great atmosphere, great view!
