What VeggieDiner doesn't like about Portico Restaurant & Lounge:
Food was good and serving sizes were generous. Even for two vegetarians there were decent options. Our server was nice and was accommodating of our dietary needs. The main negative was that the ambience was below average. The seats were the kind you get in conference halls not acceptable for a restaurant at all. Certainly the seats and ambience are not the photo the restaurant has on their OpenTable page shows. This... View all feedback. What Richard Ford likes about Portico Restaurant & Lounge:
Great experience, and will return when we are in Toronto again. Rene was a real joy says at 20 years there he is one of the newer servers ! Nice to see a successful family run restaurant in the downtown core. Thanks, Richard View all feedback.

The food was just “ok”. Two people in our party had a sore stomach and were uncomfortable for the evening. Not sure the food is as fresh as you expected.

Good food at a very fair price, with excellent service.

Portico, located in Toronto, is a nice quiet restaurant that offers a limited but satisfactory menu with interesting options like a Caesar salad with kale instead of romaine. Dishes like perfectly cooked entrees and delicious cod and seafood risotto received high praise. While some found the seafood risotto to be a bit gluey, the desserts received positive feedback for their large portions. The service was friendly and attentive, though some mentioned issues with noise levels and tough steak cuts. Overall, despite some mixed reviews, Portico seems to offer a warm and inviting ambiance with delicious food, making it a recommended choice for a cozy dining experience.

Love the wings and steak. The steak was tense and juicy. The side of sweet potato mash was delicious.
