Without a doubt the best meal I have had in my life. It’s well worth it to go for the cocktails alone, but you’d be remiss to not try as much food as possible. Especially the dry-aged Turbot and Uni Toast.

My wife and I came to Porto on our honeymoon this year, after an incredible experience here a year ago. We had the tasting menu and a few items off the main menu both times. The service and atmosphere here are amazing; the wait staff know just how much to say about each dish so that you know what you’re eating without sounding like salesmen. Not every dish lands perfectly, but the ones that do (which is the majority) easily rival the best plates I’ve had at acclaimed restaurants three times the price. On this particular trip the turbot mousse, oysters two ways, uni toast, atlantic trout, and lobster dishes were among the best I’ve ever had the pleasure of tasting. Porto is by far the best value and one of the best restaurants I’ve visited, period.

As soon as we walked into the beautifully designed restaurant our amazing experience began. Graham our main server was exceptional from the start. He explained the concept of the the restaurant and we decided to have the Porto Philosophy 7 course tasting menu. This is to get a glimpse of the chefs homage to the fishing villages in Portugal. Holy smokes! This food journey was so exceptional that we could not decide which bite was our favorite. So beautifully thoughtful in presentation and taste. All the staff were so lovely and I wish I lived in Chicago so that I can come back again soon. If you are looking for an elevated and unique dining experience look no further.

I had the pleasure of dining at this wonderful restaurant recently and I must say that it was an exceptional experience. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles from the staff and the atmosphere was very inviting.

Dining at Porto was an exquisite experience. The staff was exceptional! Our bartender Jaime crafted amazing cocktails and both him and our waiter Almoon’s insights surrounding the tasting menu courses made it that much more memorable. The food was like nothing we’d ever tasted, we were truly blown away. We can’t wait to come back. Thank you Porto

Drinks and dessert were amazing. They impressed me with the flavor combinations, you can tell they take their time to create their menus.

Had an amazing dinner last night. Our table had the chefs tasting menu and it was incredible. If you are worried about certain ingredients, just don’t think about it and go for it. It’s amazing how each dish brings out the best flavors from each ingredient- all while complimenting each other so perfectly. The Bacalao, fire roasted oysters, uni toast, and anchovy (I normally hate anchovies) we’re my favorite dishes- the steak was the perfect way to complete the meal. The service was great and really described all of the thought/history that goes into the food (regions, locations,etc) , cocktails were top notch. Thanks for an incredible experience! Will definitely be back.

I’ll start by saying I have been to many Michelin star restaurants around the world… Porto is, by a mile, the most disappointing of them. I am actually VERY surprised they even have a star.

Unbelievable that this place somehow got a Michelin star. In Portugal or Spain, this place would be mocked and laughed at. The food tastes off, as if it’s a competition to see if people can tolerate off putting tastes yet act as if they like it. Reminds me of an SNL skit about fine dining. Wine list is good which deserves a star. Staff is friendly and adequate. Atmosphere is adequate. Yet the food is overpowering in its incompetence in terms of taste. Frankly I’d rather burn $300 than eat here again.

Amazing experience. The food was delicious. It really felt like there was a lot of time and effort into providing the guest with the flavors of coastal Portugal/Spain while still being incredibly balanced. Well deserving of their 1 Michelin star. On top of the great food, the staff was extremely nice and personable and were more than happy to answer our questions as we went through the tasting. It felt very 1 on 1 as the chef was making most of our courses right in front of us. They even made us a list of all the other restaurants they would recommend in Chicago which is above and beyond expectations.
