My wife and I dined at Portland's while traveling in the Phoenix area. I had read the review on this site, and looked forward to the experience. I made a reservation a week in advance and was assured a window table. When we arrived the request was not honored, and a four top table along the window wall sat vacant throughout our meal. Despite this, I still recommend Portland's. The scallop appetizer is excellent, and both our entrees were well prepared (Cowboy Chop and Eggplant Napoleon). The salads were fair at best. Service was outstanding, and the atmosphere is romantic. I would definitely try it again.
Pros: Upscale casual dining, Excellent service, Excellent chef
Cons: Reservation not met, Salads are weak
