The food was soooo good and everyone started sharing dishes to get a taste of all the different entrees. The ambience was just right and the staff was warm, welcoming and excellent!

Whether you're in need of a place to have a special event or just want to go out and have an exceptional meal, Portofino's is the place to go!

I came back here for another party. I did have some different foods. Once again, the service was…read moretop-notch and friendly. We were served bruschetta first. I had this on a prior visit, and it was better. The bread was too soft and did not hold up well with the actual bruschetta, which was tasty once again, tons of freshness. The antipasto had fresh meats and cheeses, which were appetizing. I also tried the clams, mussels, stuffed mushrooms, and calamari. The clams and mussels appeared fresh and were pleasant while the stuffed mushrooms were small but packed with flavor. I am not usually a fan of them, but I really enjoyed these. The calamari was solid too, nice breading to fish ratio on most of them. The second course was penne vodka (similar thoughts from prior review apply). The next course was the house salad, which was better than I remember. For my main course this time, I had the salmon in a white wine garlic sauce with some vegetables. The salmon was a good-sized portion with plenty of the sauce. The sauce was a good balance and paired well with the appropriately sized salmon. For dessert, there was a white cake with a strawberry filling. They provided the cake, but not sure where it came from. It was not bad. The cake and strawberry filling was good, but the frosting as well as the icing was too sweet and had too thick of a layer.

Our family could not have been happier with how everything turned out. I would highly recommend the Smoke Rise Inn to anyone looking for a wonderful place to host their next special event! p.s.

TO. DIE. FOR. grits can be very hit or miss, but these extra cheesy grits were genuinely the best we've ever had (and we've had a LOT). and let me talk about the fried catfish for a second--it was perfectly battered and fried while still being super tender inside. i genuinely had to stop myself from audibly moaning at the table because it was that good. 10/10 for the service, food, and ambiance. you'd be silly not to give this place a try if you're in the area, especially since their menu has something for everyone. i already can't wait to come back and try more dishes. thank you again, chelsea--we absolutely loved you!

When we arrive tonight there were only two other tables of two. It took our waitress nearly 5 minutes to get to us. She took our order and only stopped one other time to see how everything was. As other couples arrived, they were obviously friends of the waitress and she stood and spoke with each table for several minutes. We try to ask another woman who was working there for something but she walked right past us. We were trying to get more bread but that never happened as no one ever returned to the table. We then asked for our check and it took another 10 minutes before the waitress brought the check over. Again, the place was not crowded. At this point there were five tables of two. If she had not taken so long talking personal business with each one of the tables, we may have gotten better service. I definitely don't recommend this place unless you're a friend of the owner or the waitress because if you're not service sucks.

I can't speak about the ambiance, because I was not in their restaurant, but I imagine it is like most others that are focused heavily on delivery. Their Sweet and Sour chicken tasted fresh and clean. Their sauce was not overpowering. I don't know if it is freshly made or from an industrial size can. But it was good. Their chicken skewers were different than I'm used to but quote tasty. I will order again very soon. Price was reasonable.

Owner Sami knew exactly what he was doing and was so easygoing with our requests. He was flexible with dates and times to schedule visits and was willing to work around our needs. Our guests were so impressed with the spread for cocktail hour that most of them believed that it was part of their dinner. They were all surprised to sit down at their tables and have a server ask for their entree afterwards. Our bridal party had a private room upstairs, and we had our food and drink delivered without any interruptions before we were introduced. Dessert was fabulous; we had Venetian tables and several different stations to cater to our guests. Throughout the wedding, the staff was very attentive. They dedicated a server per table, and one just for my husband and myself. We got the best value for what we paid out of all the banquet halls in the tri-state area.
