    Clear sky and the sun was shining, wanted to break bread with some old friend and we came across this place. Loved how this place opened up to a whole outdoor patio. Service was fantastic, food came fast (which I love), and the dishes were magnificent. I enjoy the little twist each place had, like the kimchi with the wings was a crowd favorite for me.If you’re in the neighborhood come pay them a visit, but I sure will.

    I had a wonderful experience at Portal restaurant! I ordered the bacon burger, and while it initially came without the bacon, the waitress was quick to address the issue and even removed the price of the fries from my bill. Her professionalism and kindness made a big impression. The food was delicious, and the ambiance was great, though it’s worth noting that service can be a bit slow. I arrived at : PM and left at : PM, so patience is key if you’re visiting during busy times. Overall, the excellent food and exceptional customer service make this a place I’d highly recommend. I’ll definitely be back!

    My first gastro pub! Found this place coming back from the A's vs Giants game. The front of the restaurant is a bar and a few tables but the outdoor patio in the back is great! People playing games, pets just chilling...cool vibe. And the view of the lake at sunset was picturesque. Not to mention the food! My boyfriend said it was the best burger he's ever had! Definitely going again when I'm in Oakland!

    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 easy to order alacarte and share among a family.The dishes have sweetness to them in all that we tried, so had to spice them up a bit with crushed red pepper flakes.The nice lake next door makes it a great place to take a stroll right after eating. The irresponsible pet owners may ruin the stroll for you which is not on the restaurant, but I digress.
