Reviews for Portage in Orillia, ON
Excellent food and great service in a very nice atmosphere. Thank you Miranda and Ryan for a great evening out.
I lost my wallet downtown and the kind staff here contacted me and had my wallet back to me by the end of the day. Many thanks!
TLDR: avoid at all costs. Let me start by saying we were the only table, and it's 4:45pm. No table bread at an Italian bistro.... First place where there was no table bread. Calamari was $12 for a depressing looking plate. Portion was very small. Garlic aolitasted like warmed mayo. Entree wise, the spaghetti was half cold and soft as if it was left in water. Michelina's frozen pastatasted better. The chicken parmesan was tasteless. Although my coworker ordered the same thing I did, and there was no one elseeating, her broccoli tasted like mush where mine was too firm. Her veggies were sweet. Mine tasted like it was in the fridge waypast expiration. Should've went to the A&W by the gas station. Would've enjoyed it at 10% the cost of this garbage. Read more
Excellent food, excellent service and Excellent atmosphere perfect for a romantic dinner or a first date. I highly recommend it
It's a nice place to have a drink and sit in the cozy chairs by the fireplace. Cesar salad is really good. Pick it up to bring... home sometimes. Read more
Quiet. Cozy. Nice little bar. I don't know about the food. Slow service, but then that's the idea. Relaxing. Ambience very nice.... Service is friendly. Really needs to improve product. Even the coffee was terrible. Mixed review. But first the food has to begood, the ambience is secondary. Charged way more than the foods worth. Specifically, vegetables inedible, steak was yuck. Noone finished their plates and really only picked at it. No one said " this is delicious". Disappointing food. Great ambience.Weird priorities. Spend your money somewhere else. Read more
We arrived at 6pm with great expectations. Our server appeared overwhelmed, although there was only one other table; we were... told he could not guarantee that we would be able to dine and get to our 7:30 show. The appetizers and entrees were very goodbut were taken by our server before we were done eating. The tiramisu was unfortunately stale and we did not eat it. Ourexperience was unfortunate because I was really hoping to find another local spot to eat. Read more
