    Porta Blu is a beautiful restaurant with excellent food. My friend and I visited for the Passport dinners with wine pairing, and everything was perfect, starting from the entrance. I especially appreciated the conversation with the chef; I am sure he is a future star of our culinary scene. I definetly will be back for another food events.

    Porta Blu restaurant at the Hotel NIA was an amazing experience! Great fresh food and service. I highly recommend the jalapeño avocado hunmus and flatbreads!

    Outrageous! My friend and I each had a flat bread. They were mediocre for $25 and &26. I ordered a glass of the “house” Chardonnay. My friend had an iced tea. Bill came…$95. I asked the server and he said, the 5ounce wine was $20 (what?????), but since I wanted the eight ounce, the price was an additional $9. I have never paid $29 for a glass of wine, not even a premium glass. No more Porta Blu for me!!

    Fabulous interior, super friendly service. Filet was under cooked for both of us (and the table next to us we saw) but overall wonderful gem

    The food is excellent. One of the best I've ever tried. The chef personally went to our table to explain to us how he prepared our diner. Excellent service.
