What a wonderful evening we had dining at Portobello's Grill! Extremely convenient parking with accommodating host and service! Alex took very good care of us with drinks from the bar. And I cannot say enough about the entrées. The spinach artichoke dip was divine while the eggplant Elise was off the charts with lump crab meat. The harvest salad was the perfect pairing. And of course, the blueberry caramel tart was just enough dessert . And the drinks, let's just say spectacular. I had the raspberry Rosemary Cosmo while friends enjoyed a blueberry lemon drop and a cucumber mint Mojito! Just wow! I love sitting in the bar so we can have cozy adult time. It's my favorite neighborhood go to! Thank you, Peter Sclafani! read more

We reserved the party room for a family dinner after an event. It was about 20 of us. Seating was quick but service was slow. They tried their best but a lot of us were finished eating and packing up before the kids even got their food. The food was good but they should have served the kids first. I wanted something lighter because we were traveling back home after. I ordered the crawfish scramble from the brunch menu. It was amazingly delicious. Eggs, cheese, crawfish tails and a side of stone ground grits. I couldn't finish it all and took for lunch the next day. Even better as leftovers. Our group got a variety of things and everyone enjoyed the food. That was the best part. read more

Suggested by a couple of friends when in town we ended up a Portobellos to quench our Italian dinner desires ! Apps included the toasted ravioli and eggplant Elise ( eggplant was a huge hit with one of the guys commanding the plate) For mains I had the gulf fish pecan, my friends enjoyed the chicken parmesan and another had the veal parmesan. All portions were large , cook perfectly and came with sides We ended up eating in the bar area so we could be noisy and not upset anyone an no one was. The bar is fun , has a good selection of beer and wines and the service was good Im happy to have found a new Italian ristorante to enjoy dinner at went visiting friends in Restick read more

Went here for winter formal, this was my first time organizing a pre-dance dinner. We had a group of 15 people so I had a big burden on my shoulder to choose a good place, and I took a big risk by choosing a place I had never been, I must say my pick did not disappoint. I got the lasagna and boy was it great, reminded me of my sweet Italian heritage. Overall a good dinner before the dance. Overall experience score: 83/100 read more

Portobello's Grill - Miss Graces Lasagna - Italian Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

I visited Portobello's for the first time today. The starter bread and oil is amazing! I ordered the chicken parm and will say that the chicken was probably the best chicken with chicken parm I've ever had. My wife got the lasagna and is very picky about that dish and loved hers. It was very good sized portions. The ambiance was very nice and fitting for the type of restaurant. Brooke was our waitress and couldn't ask for better service. Not one time did I have to ask for my drink to be refilled and all of the way to the final moment there she was attentive and such a great server. We will be back and suggest this to others. The price was not bad at all and worth the cost of this visit. read more

Food is always on point. We use drive through only. Service is good, prices are reasonable. read more

Consistently delicious! Everything we've ever tried has been great! Generous portions and priced well. The staff opens the doors and greets you when you arrive! The servers are friendly and attentive! Our family of 3 had entrees, drinks, and one dessert for around $70. You get delicious, warm, complimentary bread with an olive oil dipping sauce for your table. And, you enjoy it all in a calm and relaxing dining room! Highly recommend! read more

Absolutely horrible!! We spent $80 on this. We waited 30 minutes for them to give us this. We ordered fried chicken pasta and it was absolutely burnt. The chicken is Black !!! The chicken looks like burnt chicken strips. Why would you ever serve this to someone who paid $80. Would you spend $55 for this? I will update if I get a refund but look at this why would you serve this to anyone. I didn't think to check the bag because I didn't think after waiting for the food to be cooked it would be burnt. Thanks a lot. $55 waisted. Update: we did receive a refund. read more

I ordered a ribeye ( picked it up). It was basically an inedible piece of meat. I understand the restaurant to be primarily focused on Italian food but, if a 50$ steak is going to be served, it should be consumable. Called the manager to relay my experience ( not wanting anything other then to let them know) and she was fairly unconcerned. Last time to go here. Thank you read more

The food was superior! The service was quite friendly and very knowledgeable. And I love the ambience. I love going to Italian restaurants that have great food and this was one of them! read more

Service was slow. $17.99 for 4 x 4 inch piece of lasagna with no side is utterly ridiculous. Half of the bottom of it was burnt. The free bread with what looked like an olive dipping sauce is delicious. If I hadn't had a discount coupon, I would've sent it back. Willing to try again. Maybe a pasta cream dish next time. read more

Came from Ms to visit family. I have eaten at your restaurant on several occasions. However, this time the restaurant was very busy. I understand, but the food was not up to the previous visits. The wait staff were friendly. But spilled water everywhere when filling our glasses and other tables. One dropped a plate and glasses on the floor, picked it up, and placed it back on the table. Hope our next visit is better. read more

I am never disappointed with my meal here. The food is delicious and arrives to your table in a timely manner. Today, Lily was our server and did a fantastic job. She checked on us regularly and was friendly and pleasant. We had to laugh because when she was bringing my martini to our table and she was walking oh so slowly trying not to spill a drop. I might add that she did a fine job. Very clean, lighting not too bright, always have fresh flowers on the table, and someone with a smile and a welcome to hold open the door as you come in. This is one of my favorite places. read more

Dinner menu delicious food. The best bread in town. I was disappointed in the brunch menu however. Parts were cold. I love pancakes but none for brunch. I have had brunch before and it was good but as I said the last experience was not what I expected. read more

So my wife and I wanted to have a night out for our 9th anniversary. We had already ate so we were specifically looking for a place to have a few drinks. Not into the bar scene, and also, I smoke, so we needed an outside area. Did a little research and portobellos came up first, so thats where we went.Upon arrival, We asked for outside seating, which wasn't an available option. Seems like maybe they dont even use it anymore. But yet, they hooked us up!!! They led us outside where they had a table specifically set up just for us! Very intimate. While outside, we watched countless people approach the door, and each time, those doors were opened by staff for every customer! I honestly couldn't even find a staff member that seemed unhappy! It was honestly, for the first time in my life, an experience that made me want to speak to the manager! And we did! Wish I could remember her name! All i know is that she was kinda new there. The experience was something we will never forget!! U should go there. Lol!! read more

Gosh y'all. Local restaurant - generally good food. But when we went last night - cocktails had garnishes with black spots on them - rosemary and mint all yucky. Food was pretty good, but salad lettuce was wilted as if it had been sitting in the dressing for a few hours. What the heck? Staff is great. I'm so torn.. I want it love it but dang, guys. You gotta pay attention to the details. read more

The steak had zero flavor. The raviolis were undercooked. The bread was the only thing that was good. Ordered creme brulee and it was really dry and practically thrown into the dish. One of the worst meals I've ever had. read more

If I'm being honest, the service and restaurant ambiance was a 5, but the food was underwhelming (3/5)--so I settled on 4 stars. Perhaps it was what I ordered, but the gulf fish tasted more like muddy catfish. The complimentary rosemary bread was good but I didn't have the desire to get more (and bread is my thing). The best thing I had was the cheesecake--would absolutely recommend that if you're a fan of cheesecake. It's been a while since I went. It was a nice place to have dinner with one of my friends. I imagine the Italian dishes are much better so when I go back, I'll remember that. It's a good restaurant and the complimentary cotton candy after dinner is cute. read more

Having worked in and owned a restaurant, I know Mother's Day is the worst day to go out to eat. I expect less than perfect. However, I don't expect the level of awful my family and I experienced today. We were seated outside under temporary pop-up tents. I had made my reservation days in advance on Open Table. I did not request outdoor seating. After an hour of waiting for our food, temps had climbed to 89 degrees. A server explained that they they didn't usually use the patio but the manager had decided to because they were overbooked. She offered us menus to fan ourselves with and apologized there was no fan because they had loaned theirs to the other location. She said she was sorry but we couldn't move indoors and they had purposely not allowed people to choose indoor or outdoor seating when making reservations. We were finally too hot and miserable to eat the food we had still not received and asked for it to be boxed to go, as did another table. A new table was seated, complained, and wisely left when they weren't moved. Our server was attentive, apologetic, and wonderful. Our boxed food we ate in the AC at home was partly wrong and average at best. I'm not sure why no one thought to run to Walmart to get a couple of fans. I'm not sure why walk-ins were seated indoors while we who made advance reservations were seated outdoors. I'm not sure why the manager never came around to apologize or why we paid full price for a miserable experience. I'm not sure why it was more important to the management to seat as many people as possible to make as much money as possible, rather than limit customers and focus on providing a better experience. I do know I won't be back. I suggest you don't go either. read more

When darling hubs and I headed to Baton Rouge to visit my precious in laws for Father's Day, we decided that we needed to hit up a joint that we knew wouldn't disappoint, and that chosen joint was Portobello's Grill! My sis-in-law and her hubby know the owners personally, so we were sure that the service would be on point, and it definitely was! The place was poppin' on Father's Day Sunday, but we managed to snag a fantastic tall top in the bar area for our party of six! The atmosphere was appropriately high-end and festive! Let's cut the narrative there, though and get to our thoughts on this Bacchian feast! Complementary Rosemary Ciabatta Bread with rosemary-infused butter and olive oil for dipping - They served us this right after we sat down, and we knew that we were in for something special! It was warm, dense and deliciously chewy! The dipping oil was wowza! Champagne Bar - My beautiful sister-in-law ordered this before my husband and I arrived, and I was absolutely impressed! It's a bottle of Opera Prima Brut with small carafes of freshly squeezed peach, cherry, and orange juices, a bowl of fresh mixed berries, and two glasses! Boozy brunch gold and magical to share! Yes, indeedy! She and I did just that! Charbroiled Oyster Appetizer - This was buttery and lemony goodness, and the French bread was the perfect vehicle! Perhaps, the oysters could have been better served with a longer bit of time under the char-broiler to make the topping more bubbly crispy and the entire thing warmer, but we would definitely order this again! Jumbo Lump Crab Cake - This was my choice, and, while it was decent, it definitely needed MUCH more crab, particularly for the $30 price point. Additionally, it had a weirdly sweet taste that I couldn't quite put my finger on. I'll skip this next time, unless they decide to significantly retool it! The asparagus that accompanied it was on point, though! Linguine and Meatballs - This was EASILY the table winner, in my book! My hubby and father-in-law both ordered it, and I had massive food envy! The meatballs were absolutely gorgeous, substantial, and authentically Italian, and the linguine was freshly-pressed and as house-made as it gets! I would one trillion percent order this one next time! Sciafani Salad - My fantastic mom-in-law ordered this, as she's (quite unnecessarily, in my book, as she's utterly perfect as is) on a diet and choosing things carefully! This salad looked gorgeous and was VERY much my flavor profile! Shrimp, eggs, olives, onion, tomato, Romano, and remoulade? Um. Yes, please! She subbed the remoulade for balsamic because she was (again, unnecessarily) trying to "be good", but it was still as yummy as can be! The shrimp were huge and perfectly-seasoned! This salad is a worthy entree choice, and it def goes in the repeat order Rolodex! Sensation Salad - This side salad is a PERFECT starter to any meal here, y'all! It's essentially a Caesar salad, but the olives, tomatoes, and sensation dressing take it to the absolute next level! If you're torn between the classic Ceasar and this one, pull the trigger on this one! Really, really tasty! Filet Mignon - My fab sis-in-law and her sweet hubs split this, and it looked really fantastic! They ordered it medium rare (quite right, we two Texans say!), and the Portobello kitchen got it JUST right! It was an incredible cut of meat, and, when my hubby got a bite, it was an eyes-rolling-to-the-back of the head moment! The bite that he tried was a center piece, so he couldn't really tell if Portobello's had gotten beautifully tricky with the seasonings, butters, etc, but that bite was his jam! The accompanying veg was delish, as well! If you like Filet Mignon, you can feel 100% confident ordering this one! Soup of the Day (Baked Potato) - This delicious little cup of soup was a buttery calorie bomb in the best way possible! Wear your stretchiest pants, tuck in, and enjoy this one, folks! So, as I sit on our deck back in Austin, Texas, and I come to the end of this review of our Baton Rouge Portobello's Grill experience, I begin to mull over how many stars that I would honestly give it! It's a tough one because what I loved, I really and truly loved, and the service and atmosphere are really INCREDIBLE, but the under-done oysters and the seriously under-crabbed and unpleasantly sweet crab cakes did give us serious pause! My heroic hubby and I agree that 4 stars is very fair! When he and I return (and we def will next time that we're in BR!), we'll begin by hardcore mainlining the rosemary ciabatta and toasting with the champagne bar! Our starters will be the Sensation salads and our mains will be the Linguine and Meatballs and the Sciafani Salad to split! Always remember that YMMV (your mileage may vary), of course, but Portobello's Grill has a huge menu with tons of dishes yet to try, and my curiosity is absolutely piqued! Until next time, Portobello's! And well done! read more

The Napa salad was so delicious it was arugula grapes and strawberries with a sweet n tangy walnut dressing it was so good I'll order one every time I come. The 3 cheese lasagna was out of this word, it was cheesy and creamy and the pasta wasn't a boxed sheet it was fresh and you could certainly tell it. It was possibly the best lasagna I've ever eaten. My husband got cup of seafood gumbo and a half of French dip, He said it was gone could've had more meat but still taste good our server was Stephen and he was very attentive so we'll be back. I'd give 5 stars but the lasagna Cost $15.99 and it's served solo and for right at $16 bucks it needs a side of something or at least a couple slices of garlic toast in my opinion. read more

We had a delightful experience at Portobello's on George O'Neal for happy hour. Love having Frank Family by the glass and it's half off! The service was great and very personal with Rebekah the server taking care of us. The complimentary beard and oil dip is delicious! You can purchase oil dip to take home, which makes me so happy. The manager Nicole came to check on us. She was also very pleasant & professional and made sure we were taken care of with the best experience possible. I have been coming to this location for 10 years and have enjoyed every time. read more

We decided to come by Portobello's for dinner on Saturday because we were in the mood for something Italian. We were greeted immediately upon arrival, and seated quickly. Our server was attentive and friendly. I ordered the Pasta Jam, but I asked to change it from penne pasta to spaghetti, which they did without any issue. The portions were plentiful, and it was delicious. I'd absolutely order it again. I was too full for dessert, but they had tiramisu, and I'd never tried it before, so my husband ordered me some to go. We ate it later in the evening, and it was very good. If you like tiramisu, I highly recommend it. We absolutely plan to return in the future. read more

We had the hot crab dip, 8oz Filet, and chicken piccata. Service was great! The complimentary bread was hot and fresh. 4 stars because the "hot crab dip" was just barely warm and not "hot." My noodles for the piccata were mushy and overcooked. We still enjoyed our meal and will be back! read more
