Portofino Ristorante & Bar - Private Club

Spent about 300 dollars. Drinks were terrible. 20 dollars for a martini is outrageous. My steak was cooked perfect but.. The risotto was horrific, But because the steak sat on top of the risotto, you could taste this really cheap Parmesan cheese on my steak and it completely ruined the steak. My wife also agreed her steak was bad. My mother threw out her take home eggplant and my father got sick from the chicken parm. Waste of 300 dollars. You would think because it’s a part of this “Long Boat Key Club” that the food would be outstanding. Far from it. If I could give zero stars I would.

this place still needs to work on consistency for food quality -you might get an excellent special entre' and then be served a bowl of pasta that wold hardly pass inspection in the school cafeteria. Their pizzas are a safe go to and good value, made to order. Staff is dedicated and venue is kinda special, adjacent to the Marina -I agree, if can score an outside table it adds to the unique charm of the spot. THIS WAS MY PRIOR REVIEW -WELL GLAD TO REPORT SIGNIFICANT POSITIVE CHANGES -OUR LAST TWO MEALS WERE OUT STANDING AND HIGH QUALITY. WE HAD THE SEAFOOD SOUP SPECIAL AND A MOST GLAMOROUS WILD MUSHROOM PIZZA!-CONGRATULATIONS!! 1/17/2026

Our server told us there’s a Valentine dessert couldn’t describe it other then we tasted it. It’s real good. These servers can be terrible and still get a 20% that’s automatic added to your bill. Not sure what tipping is about anymore.

Don't eat here. If you want a live in good health just dont! Cancel your membership take your wife nd save yourself

Outstanding private club … Amanda is the best server we’ve ever experienced… food outstanding and live music was fantastic.
