I had brunch here yesterday, and just had to comment on the superb Bloody Mary. Rich and spicy, lots of pepper and horseradish, all served in a big goblet. The perfect accompaniment to a 'full english', which was also delicious (particularly good scrambled eggs - perhaps the best I've had eating out come to think of it - really creamy... More

We visited Portabello Oxford for dinner, which was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The restaurant was clean and smartly presented, giving it an upmarket impression. The menu was varied and included some exciting dishes, including seasonal variances e.g. asparagus. The dishes were well presented and on the whole well prepared. The ribeye steak could have been less fatty and the crab... More

This was our first visit to Portabello in Summertown and it won't be our last! We decided to treat ourselves (my husband, myself and our 2 children) for an early evening midweek meal and now we can't wait for an excuse to go back! Although not that busy (it was about 6pm) there was a really warm atmosphere created by... More

I visited Portobello for the umpteenth time in February, for the other half's Birthday and it was as good as ever. I love this place and if you're after a steak, you won't find a better restaurant in Oxford. The service is always friendly and it is always busy on a Friday/Saturday night, so worth booking in advance. The wine... More

The room was so luxurious and we were even able to bring in some... More

Good menu, nice prices, jolly staff - all went together for a quality meal in a great atmosphere (even on a Monday night!)

Very nice staff, sat outside for a drink first under the heat lamps. Inside very comfortable nicely decorated. Food was very good quality I had scallops which were served in their shell with breadcrumbs sprinkled over the top very succulent and nicely presented. Rump steak with rocket and fries, steak was melt in the mouth. Too full for desert. Coffee... More

The food was awesome, but the bar tenders really mad the night! Top lads! I said no to the shots but they did it anyway.. Which turns out made the night...

Visited on a Wednesday lunchtime. Busy, but the staff made you feel welcome. There is a set menu, 3 courses for £12.50, I think. It was good value. The normal menu was available too. Lovely pork chop and yoghurt and plum fool to die for. Plenty of veggie options too. Would return.
