Reviews Of The Week
At MenuPages, our legions of users submit reviews regularly for their favorite (and often least favorite) restaurants. Some make it onto the website, others don't. Here, we'll go over the week's best and worst reviews.
This week's reviews were about 50/50, in the sense that about half got validated and went online. We'll start with a few of the ones that didn't quite make it onto the site, like this one for Marios Latin Cafe:
THE BEST CHURRASCOMove the fingers away from the Caps Lock key, guys. Also, perhaps a few more details about the restaurant would be nice. On to the next "winner," for Caffe Portofino
My husband and I have been going to this restaurant since it opened. Mauricio, the owner greets his guest with a caring smile on his face. He wants to make sure everyone has an excellent experience. My favorites, the Sea Bass! All fish dishes are cooked to perfection and accompanied with fresh vegetables and mashed potatoes. We have yet to try something we have not been 100[%] satisfied with. The portions are perfect. You'll even have room for dessert and at Cafe Portofino, that is a must. Mauricio came up with what I call the specialty of the house, a "Warm Guava & Cheese Pastry with Ice Cream". Everything on the menu is outstanding, not to mention thier nightly specials.Dear shills out there: We kind of like it when you make it so easy to identify your handiwork, but here's a little tip. When you say something along the lines of "the only negative thing is that the secret is getting out!" it's a pretty obvious clue that this is coming from someone closely connected to the restaurant.
If I had to mention one negative thing about Portofino, it would be that the best kept secret is getting out. The last couple of months that we have been there, we have ran into celebrities, top South Florida utives, and even very successful Food & Beverage business owners who enjoy eating at Cafe Portofino.
I highly recommend it. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
The good ones this week weren't so great, but we've got a winner regardless. This one is for Yard House:
We have eaten at the Yard House on numerous occassions. The food is always excellent. The service can vary from good to fantastic depending on the time and the waiter/waitress. The atmosphere is very relaxed. Great place to take the family. Great outdoor seating as well!
