Reviews for Portal in Oakland, CA
This place has a pretty chill vibe. We sat inside, it can get rather loud and busy. We started with the garbage bread, I can see... why it's a local favorite. The lady had the cowboy and I had the steak and eggs. Both were delicious. We sat by the door wherefood was coming out and everything looked so good. The waiter was very accommodating and friendly as well. Definitely worthanother trip. Would like to check out the patio area. Read more
I ordered the garbage bread 3 times in the last 2 weeks (I live across the street and decided to no longer pay for food... deliveries). While the food is consistently delicious, they no longer serve marinara and pesto as described on the menu which ispretty disappointing considering how delicious the pesto once was. It's now marinara only Read more
This place was recommended by a friend and I now owe that friend a thank you. Nestled in the corner of the street you will find... this awesome bar&grill for brunch. Customer service 8/10 : solid vibe, professional and the bartender really keeps an eye onthe patrons. Shy of me having to call out for the check I was very impressed with their service. Food 9/10: my God I got thechallah French toast and I think my taste buds died and went to heaven. Hands down top 5 best French toast breakfasts I've everhad. Light enough to leave room for more and not feel bloated with some fresh fruit around the dish to compliment the doughytaste of the French toast. Alcohol -- I did not try the bar personally but they do have a decent drink selection. Try it outyourself! Price 7/10 -- Overall, I dropped about 20-30 bucks on the meal + tip. Making it alittle more expensive than yourcasual breakfast joint (for one person) but I feel that the money spent was definitely worth it on the main dishes. Reason Irated this a 7 is cause 4 strips of bacon was 5 bucks.. OOF. (It was delightful though) Overall rating 5/5 stars, I would loveto come back on my next visit to Oakland to try more of their menu Read more

Came for happy hour. Website says it goes until 6, but it ends at 5... So that was a bummer. Great patio but it was real windy... when we were there... Pickle plate was disappointing but the garbage bread is a must. SO good. Read more
Vegetarian biscuits and gravy were banging! Friends got the Eggs Benny and Garbage Bread and they loved it. Service was great as... well. Chill, hip place. I'll definitely be back. Read more
Very cool restaurant with plenty of vegetarian options. The place may not look appealing from outside, but it's great inside... with pleasant atmosphere, excellent people, and fantastic service. Food is really great with generous portions making it easyto order alacarte and share among a family. The dishes have sweetness to them in all that we tried, so had to spice them up abit with crushed red pepper flakes. The nice lake next door makes it a great place to take a stroll right after eating. Theirresponsible pet owners may ruin the stroll for you which is not on the restaurant, but I digress. Read more
