Sbagliato
Denise G.

All around score of 5 stars. We were greeted at the door by the hostess and owner Sandra for our 5:00 pm reservation. Seated in the lovely main dining room, the walls are a warm rose color with large painting on the walls. Cozy, but not overdone. Our friendly and informed server Marissa answered any questions we had on menu offering and portion sizes. The beverage and cocktail list offers several cocktails, drafts and mocktails that do not look sugary. My request for a sbagliato was prepared to perfection. Mushrooms are a big component of menus here in Kennet Square. We started with the crab stuffed mushroom caps, served as 4 large caps. The generous portion of mushroom soup was creamy and delicious. We shared the ample sized veal and prosciutto bolognese pasta dish was shared. The pasta dish is savory and hearty. We asked Marissa to take away the plate to stop us from hurting ourselves by over eating. From beginning to end our experience at Portobello's was first rate and delicious.

My family and I were in town for a memorial service when the night of we decided to come here because we heard that the reviews were great and we wanted to check it out for ourselves. When we finished our meals I knew that the chef had a real talent for understanding food and I mean really understanding the culinary arts. I told him that I would be writing a review and compared him to Daniel Boulud. I still agree with this statement from what I remember about the meal but it's been a long time coming. My mom ordered the mushroom soup and normally I'm not a fan of mushroom soup but this was INCREDIBLE. The flavors were exquisite and the soup was creamy and the ingredients were fresh. I myself ordered the pasta dish at the time and it was creamy and delicious and flavorful. I know that the rest of my party enjoyed their meals and I knew I needed to speak to the chef. I'm glad I did. He was really nice.

Cute restaurant along the main drag way with metered parking. Not sure if there's a garage nearby or not. Had a bar, indoor seating, and outdoor patio area. Stopped in for a cocktail. They have a great selection of drinks that have had some great thought put into them. Tried the blood orange margarita and the Mushroom Manhattan. This area is the mushroom capital so it was on point. Both were great! Staff very friendly and attentive. Worth a stop!

Linguini with seafood in a red sauce
Gary B.

We ordered the Linguini with Seafood of clams mussels, shrimp and calamari in a red sauce. The salad was a beet, goat cheese and apple over greens. The dessert was white chocolate cheesecake with raspberry sauce. The service was very good and attentive and overall an enjoyable meal!

Mushroom soup

Food and service was great. Their mushroom soup is to die for!! We also had the portobello wrap which was equally delicious.

Beef stroganoff
Patrick B.

Really excellent dining experience! Lovely surroundings and live music. Susan was a terrific server. Excellent wine list. We both had mushroom soup, and I had the clams app. The soup was wonderful, very complex. The clams were good, mildly spicy, though not noted as such on the menu. B had the blue crab ravioli with shrimp, while I had the stroganoff. Both were superb. The stroganoff gravy was delicious and the potato dumplings were very light. Hats off to the chefs and Susan for a great meal! Molto grazie!

Roasted Mushroom soup
Nan S.

Staff is very kind! I like that they do have seasonal menu items :) The roasted mushroom soup is one of my favorite soups (besides noodle soups)! It's so flavorful and comforting...it's basically all you could ever ask for a soup! I love the chill ambiance it has there. I enjoyed my short ribs this time, but I enjoyed the pasta dish I had the first time I was there in the winter! We stopped here based on a recommendation from my coworker and I definitely would recommend it to everyone! It's a bit of a trip for me, but we basically go as a dinner option after having visited Longwood gardens. :)

Went there with friends after hitting Longwood Gardens. Ambiance and service was solid but the food was okay. Best item for us was the mushroom soup which was very good. As to the rest, I think it was cooked alright but the dishes were too salty for almost everyone at the table. My wife and I ordered the Portabello ravioli and the Shellfish Fra Diavolo... I liked texture and was not overdone but just way too salty. I was a bit disappointed because the place is a tad pricy. It's not super clear to me if I will return, maybe for lunch but not sure.

I'm not generally an Italian food person but so glad we tried this place. We were looking for somewhere to eat before going to a 7pm reservation at longwood gardens. Service was great and so was the food, I got the pasta and my boyfriend got the lamb and we shared the shrimp appetizer. We would definitely come back!

Sunday Gravy
Christopher A.

This place is extremely nice. Very nice decor with a jazz musician playing. Our waitress was amazing. She was extremely knowledgeable about the menu, was very friendly, very beautiful and really just a pleasure to be around. She had a slight mishap that resulted in me getting ranch dressing on my pants and some broken dishes but it was a total accident and she apologized 1000x. This did not discourage me one bit. The food was really good. The veal meat ball in the Sunday Gravy was very tender. For some reason the sausage was kind of cold which seemed odd to me. I had a portobello egg roll as well which was really good. This place is expensive but for the service i got i would gladly pay that.

Food and drinks were great. I tried the fig cardamon coffee and would recommend it Greek egg…read moresandwich and avacado toast was very good

There are some touch-ups that are needed some of the cushions from the booths maybe fraying a little bit, but overall nice job with the interior design. Very well done. I started drinking the cacao banana smoothie and I added peanut butter which is a must-do, it is so good. I love the creamy feeling of it not too thin not too thick just right. The next thing that I ordered was the Greek chili style soup, unfortunately they kind of were slim on filling it up to the top it's just about 2/3 of the way filled up. They could have at least given me a little bit more. Especially for the price of it. I had some Rosemary and Olive chips with it, the chili was really good they added some onions feta cheese and cilantro which really is a game changer. Must have if you are a soup person, so good! Nice kick to it. Had the potatoes with feta...seems like I was going Feta crazy when ordering haha but the potatoes were delicious as well. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Great job chef! Well ...when I went to visit Athens I remember ordering a Gyro and this cafe tastes just like the one from Greece, I died and went to Greece for a second. Great place to visit! I gave a 4 star because of the soup, I think it should definitely be filled to the top especially if you're paying that much for it. Overall, great job Emis!

Cafe Emis - Recommend filling to the top, but this was a good soup so if you had it too you would probably be like...why isn't it filled up.

I said last year we would not come back because I was mad they were out of the pomegranate martini…read moreand charged us for it anyway, and we didn't realize it until we got home. However, we decided to give it another try. There were 3 of us, and on this trip the bar was full, but there were plenty of tables. Our server was Steph and she was friendly. We ordered a pound of bang, bang shrimp, 2 crab cake sandwiches, and a lobster tower. It was very enjoyable, and we finished with the toffee bread pudding. It was not bad for a seafood restaurant nowhere near the ocean and in the middle of winter.

Being a little generous with a three star rating. Stopped in on a Sunday night, ample parking…read moredecent size place. They were not very crowded, maybe a handful of tables occupied and the bar was a little on the full side. Hostess was nice, found a seat for us immediately. The service was a little underwhelming seemed like our waitress was also cooking the food. 20 minutes after we ordered, I was told they were out of my entrée, the crabcakes, a bit ironic, eh? So instead ordered a few appetizers. Overall, the food was fine, main problem we had that the bussers and waitresses kept trying to take our plates before we were finished with them, very strange, almost like they were trying to rush us out. Was not checked on very much-only had one drink each. Though I ordered 15 wings only 10 were served, but they only charged me for 10. Not a very attentive waitstaff to say the least. At least I tried it, now I know, a bit disappointed.

They allowed us to upgrade from the standard medium crabs to no. 1's for only $5 more. The only problem was, we had nowhere to eat. The server suggested a park on the water about 2 miles away. It was nice with pavilions and picnic tables. Would have been better if it wasn't so windy and cool, but we survived. It would be nice if the trailer added a few tables and maybe a portable toilet.

So now I can take a 25 minute ride and feast safely. My wife died last year after a long illness and it's been 3 years since I cracked crabs. Eating crabs is a social event and we always had them for a crowd. However, I'm on my own now and seldom have company for dinner, but today I said heck with friends. I want some crabs. These folks sell a Bay Box consisting of 3 perfectly seasoned crabs, about a half pound or more of shrimp, and a tasty ear of roasted local corn on a cob. $20! Perfect for my appetite and wallet. I'm thinking I could do this at least once a week. I can't tell you how wonderful these folks are. Great food AND service so I am going to get names to share with you tomorrow. I think it's really important to recognize people who make our lives better and share their kindness so freely. It's a cute little, colorful building with a big front covered porch and shaded outdoor tables for eating. Comfy. My new go-to crab house for singles or a crowd.
