Food was great, start to finish, and there was finally some ambiance and I say this as my sole…read moreissue in the past was that the place was silent as a library, because when I'm out for dinner and drinks I like at least a little ambiance. I'm glad to report that last night had some music in the bar, it was soft and sounded like Italian folk (Frank Sinatra would've been nice too) but it was perfectly fine because it broke up the atmosphere in a positive way. Calamari appetizer was great and my pork chop was too. Service was equally great as it was prompt and accompanied. I'll be back soon, so if you haven't tried Patria yet, you should.

Last Friday a co-worker and I were in Salinas on a job. We decided to go over to the Safeway deli…read moreand pick up some tenders and nuggets for lunch. About once a month we choose the Safeway deli in whatever town we are in. Have never had a problem. That night I started having diarrhea. I went to sleep and woke up feeling even more nauseated. I ended up running into the bathroom and vomiting. The next day I was wrecked. Sunday still didn't feel well. Went to work today (Monday) body felt better but stomach was still not right. Talked to my co-worker and he to got sick. That pretty much assured me that I (we) got some bad chicken. I do want to add this as well. I am a former Chef and as I was standing in line I did notice some not so great food handling. Mainly what I noticed was the cashier was working with food then touching the register back n forth. I know they have a lot of turnover at lunch but that's no excuse to serve food in that way. My whole weekend was ruined and I still don't feel well. I should have listened to my gut when I saw how the food was being handled. Word to the wise. Trust your gut! So you don't throw up your gut.

I approached the employee Luz with nothing but kindness. She looked at me, rolled her eyes and walked away. If it was her break time she could've acknowledged that to me. I worked for a grocery store and I know customers service. Typically when a customer asks a questions you answer no matter how bad of a day you're having. That is in the job description. She basically told me to get lost without telling me. Do not approach this Luz employee she will not answer your question or help you at all.

I stopped by Portabello's for a Sunday brunch and overall, I had a very nice experience. We were…read moreseated right away and provided menus promptly, which is always a good start. We ordered avocado toast, French toast, banana pecan pancake, house potatoes, and an Aperol spritzer. My avocado toast was served on a single very thick piece of bread, which had a very generous amount of avocado smash and was topped off with this delightful and fresh arugula salad. I added an over easy egg for an extra charge that was the perfect balance. The house salad was simple with butter lettuce, cherry tomatoes, radish, cucumber, with a light lemon house dressing that brought the salad together. It was refreshing. The French toast is pretty standard. Nothing that particularly stood out. The banana pecan pancake was delicious and shared with everyone at the table. The house potatoes were extra crispy on the outside but soft on the inside, which I found particularly satisfying. Overall, we had a pleasant experience and found Portabello's to be a good brunch spot in Salinas. The service was fast, the food portions were big, the food tasted fresh, and it was a nice ambiance. I would definitely return for the avocado toast and potatoes. Side note - I noticed Caesar Salad was misspelled on the menu as "Caeser"

Do not order anything else but shrimp or real protein. Cost is cheap and inexpensive but it it because of the poor quality; octopus ended up being octopus steaks which is the cheapest part of the octopus. Sausage tastes like winnies. Corn is really good! Fries often are cold. Seating and delivery takes a while. We like to go and just stick to the shrimp and corn which never disappoints

It is rare that I encounter an experience that I wish I could rate below zero. And this is the…read morefirst time that I chose to eat at an establishment but based on treatment ended up walking out and not dining at all. Usually I wouldn't waste my time on an experience like this but I really believe this is something only management can fix. So here goes. Let me start by saying the name created no appeal to me as a potential hungry customer. Couple that with overall 3 star reviews and I would normally just skip that establishment. But when the wife and daughter are hungry I make concessions. This was no exception, it was a rainy day so I made a point of having them go into the restaurant while I parked. Of note, PLENTY of parking on a monday. I park and enter the restaurant a few mins later where I am told the staff would not seat them until all party members were there as that is the restaurant Policy. I scanned the restaurant and it was almost empty, noting that there were more staff than customers and they were all grouped up passing time by chatting with one another. Since almost all seating is for four or more persons it seems unreasonable to not allow a mother and child to be seating while the other parent parks the vehicle on a rainy day. It felt more like we were an inconvenience to the staff. And I am unwilling to support an establishment with my hard earned money when they choose to treat my family that way. So we left, drove a half mile to a nearby Thai restaurant with 100 reviews and a 4.7 rating and proceeded to drop nearly $100 there for good food that was worth my time and money as well as no disrespect. And for that treatment.... Priceless. Management needs to train their staff better, treat the patron with respect as they are what will ultimately keep you in business. And rethink applying what seems like apparent poor policies on a restaurant that clearly could use more customers. But I foresee a bankruptcy in your future. For those out there looking for good food and to be treated properly, Salinas offers so many better options. Recommend you choose those.
