Portobello Yacht Club

[Serenity]

Sorry I did try the search but came up with "no matches".

Looking for opinions on Portobello Yacht Club. My DH and I will be celebrating our 17th anniversary on our Feb trip. We are going to AK which closes at 5 p.m. that day. So we are looking for a place to dine just the 2 of us. We are not intested in a dress up place - just a casual environment where we can have a quiet dinner with really good food. So far we looked at Raglan Road, Fulton's Crab House, and Wolfgang Puck's. So far we like the menu better at Portobello's. So, please, give me your reviews.

We weren't thrilled with Portobello's. Mostly because it wasn't the Italian food we are used to and were looking for. We were a family of seven and not one person enjoyed the meal. Some foods were overly oily/greasy and others had bad tasting sauces. Just not impressive.

Of your other choices I would say Wolfgang Puck's or Fulton's. Both are excellent. It depends what you're in the mood for. Fulton's has great seafood. And Wolfgang's has a fun atmosphere and really good food. We had the sushi and ravioli. It was great.

Thanks so much for the review.

I will try another restaurant.

Portobello (no longer called the Yacht Club) Wolfgang Puck Cafe and Fulton's Crab House are all owned by Levy Restaurants. Portobello just recently reopened after a remodeling. I've not yet been since is reopened, but I have to tell you that the Levy organization in recent years has not shown a great deal of concern for quality (Wolfgang Puck even threatened to make them take his name off the restaurant).
But maybe with the new concept at Portobello there's a renewed interest in serving decent food. Hey, it could happen.
Just thought you'd like to know.
