Best Contemporary European Restaurants in Piedmont Heights

Love, LOVE this hidden gem. We always sit at the bar and have best service! The martinis are ice cold and the blue cheese stuffed olives are fantastic! Split a salad with your dinner mate and don’t sleep on the mussels-they are out of this world delicious! Try the pork chop, steak frites, branzino, crab cakes, or prime rib—everything here is delicious!

Great restaurant, came here for Valentine’s Day and they had a great experience set up. Drinks are spectacular. Food is great as well, I had the NY strip with steak frites and my date had the braised short rib, we both tried each other’s and gave it a 10/10. The chef is doing a great job and the staff always makes sure you’re fine. Will be coming again.

We had the best table in the building!!! It was my favorite. Love everything about this place minus the small portions and pricing of certain items. 120$ lobster Mac (I get it, it’s 1.5# lobster which is pricey) and 75$ table side carbonara is plain wild. 110$ filet is literal steak house territory without any details on the filet itself. Dry aged? Wet aged? Sourced from? Anyways it’s amazing food but maybe having waiters go in depth on each of these special meals would help sway consumers.

My dinner was delicious and the service was fantastic. I highly recommend Portico. I can't wait for my next visit there!
