It’s Saturday night and the last night of the year at Portofino!
Why not come down and celebrate with us whilst we do what we do best, party!
Unfortunately, due much lower than expected demand for our New Year's Eve Celebration, we have made the very tough decision to call off our NYE celebration event. We realise this may be disappointing news to many of you and for all of you that have already purchased tickets, we will provide a full refund, just simply pop in or give us a... call!
After a busy and crazy Christmas season, the Portofino team will take some time to relax with families, recoup and recover, ready to reopen in the new year, bigger better than ever.
So, time to finish the last weekend of this year in style at Portofino! DJ Trevor will start at 8:30pm and will be playing a selection of Latin hits mixed with massive dance tunes until late!
Don’t forget to come in early to grab yourself the best space and take advantage of our Happy Hour promotion!
From 5pm until 8pm, all Classic Cocktails only £5 and bottle of prosecco only £14.50!
We look forward to seeing you and would like to wish all those that have visited us throughout 2018 a very Happy New Year and prosperous 2019!

birthday meal ! we booked a table of 17 all the food served was excellent as was the service the cocktails up stairs were fantastic. we were almost put off by some of the bad reviews they have been given. i am so glad we didnt let this stop us going our meals was fab from start to finish we cant wait to come back thank you to all the staff for such a lovely meal.

User

Myself and the girls came last night for the Cheese and wine night. The food looked and tasted fantastic. The lovely 6 wines were very good, the host was amazing and throughout the evening made sure all the guests had everything they needed! The icing on the cake was listening to John Burke too! great atmosphere, me and my friends will defiantly be coming to the next event, can’t wait ... well done all ��

User

My sisters organised my baby shower here. We had the venue all afternoon and it was amazing. The staff were fantastic nothing was too much and the food was incredible. Would highly recommend this venue for any private events. Thanks so much.

User

I've eaten here twice now; once in a group and once with my husband. The food on both occasions was fantastic! Beautifully prepared and tasted amazing. The staff were extremely helpful and kind and made our dining experiences feel really special.

The cocktail bar upstairs is brilliant! They really know what they're doing and the barmen are very chatty and good fun too which really gives it the personal touch.

I highly recommend Portofino for drinks, food or both! I'm looking forward to my next visit already!

User

Had a fantastic evening here to celebrate my birthday with a party of 24 of us! The staff were AMAZING, the waiting staff, the chefs, the owner, the cocktail waiters & the bar staff all made us feel incredibly welcome & gave impeccable service. The food was amazing value, beautifully presented & absolutely delicious! The bar atmosphere was so much fun, great music, fab friendly hospitality. Nothing was too much trouble. The cocktails were divine & happy hour made them fabulous value! We would not hesitate to book up again!

User

Great place!! Top class cocktails and food. Visited Friday 15th June - brilliant service and amazing duck starter! We regularly go to the cocktail bar - friendly staff, superb decor - and the chef is fantastic in the restaurant. Love this place in Hythe �

User

Fab evening with so many of us. The food was really well presented and tasted amazing. The staff were excellent. Would definitely go back xx

User

Didn’t have food but was upstairs for the happy hour and all cocktails were a fiver. Tried several and the skill of the barmen and their patter was extremely entertaining! One of them even made me my fave cocktail of Long Island Iced Tea which wasn’t on the menu. Chatted to Caroline, who runs the restaurant and bar too, and she’s lovely! Will be returning for food soon!

User

Birthday Meal at Portofino. 1st time of going there and I was very impressed. We all had the pizza and wow best pizzas we have had. They were that big we couldn't eat them all so the lovely staff boxed them up for us to takeaway. The cocktails were amazing and staff very charming. Can't wait to go back.

User

My friends & I came here for birthday celebrations last night & were impressed. It was absolutely packed in the restaurant so we were shown into the cocktail bar whilst we waited for our table. The cocktails, although pricey, were delicious. It was nice to see something a bit different in Hythe & think the upstairs would be ideal to hire out for a private function too. Lovely decor, unlike anything else locally. As we waited longer than expected for our table we were given a complimentary bottle of prosecco with our meal which was a nice touch. We all agreed that the food was tasty so shall certainly be coming back. Good atmosphere & didn't feel rushed to leave, which often happens as we tend to natter long after we've eaten!!

User

Mixed review. Popped in for lunch. We were the only ones in. Two of us. Two drinks and mains. Both of mine were wrong.

Lime and soda instead of lemonade.

Vegetarian calzone instead of meat and chilli.

On a plus note, it was really tasty. Unfortunately, not what was ordered.

If my meal had been correct, I would have given 5 stars.

User

Food was good and the waitress was great. Downside was that one of the guys who works there (or maybe manages) thinks it's ok to leave his car on the pavement outside the restaurant blocking the pedestrian access to the zebra crossing for more than 20 minutes. And yes he eventually unloaded 3 items but he could have put his car in a different place and still unloaded. Just shows a lack of respect.

User

Service wasn’t very good! We had waited at the bar for about 10 mins (only 3 other people there) a young girl come to the bar and got served before us!! Then I had asked the bar staff if they had disaronno and I got “ well

What do you think?” I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have asked if I knew the answer to the question. Won’t be going again that’s for sure! Offers wasn’t clear as I’m sure two lady’s got serviced cocktails £6 each at 7:30 and on the menu it says 7 finish happy hour

User

Went to go for a drink but was to late to get in which was fair enough but while I was stood outside I got started on by some little punk that was drinking inside & the bouncers just stood there and laughed about it. I've lived & used the pubs in Hythe my whole life & never experienced such rudeness. I will stick to the usual pubs where I am made to feel welcome in future!

User

Service was disgusting and the food was cold had to get sent back several times wasn't happy.. it was my hen party and nothing was organised we were put in several places until they found the right place after we said.



Never come over to see how our food was or if we would like more drinks and very rude towards customers..

User

Really unprofessional management, would not recommend, any form of professional entertainment to go into business with these guys. Was booked to play on Friday 3rd of August 2018. When I went to double check they were still expecting us they told us they had to cancel the booking due to "organisational issues" in other words they forgot we were booked. Asked for the cancellation fee which was agreed upon booking for them to turn round and say they had no plans of paying it as apparently they cant afford it. You'd think no one else was trying to make a living. Word of mouth to other performers (and customers) being spread.

User

Me and my husband went there it was lovely, recommended it to my daughter for her hen do and I can not believe how everything how's changed. Its gone down hill. I booked meal and that for my daughter and brought stuff in for them to set up as they asked and couldn't be bothered to do.. They was rude and the food was not up to standers it wasn't cooked, cold and got sent back more then once that was 4 people food. I don't think they should be having ago at customers. Don't recommend

User

I would put a 0 but I can’t so 1 will have to do!!

The boss is rude and obnoxious he also used the racist card on my sister in law ( told her to go back to her ends) the food came out cold in the middle of the lasagnes damn right terrible wouldn’t go there again if my life depended on it!!!!

User

I went here for my sister in laws hen do, looking forward to the evening. Unfortunately the food was not up to standard and had to be sent back. Although we were a big group they didn't come to check if we wanted more drinks through out the night. Towards the end of our visit the manager was very rude!! Such a shame as it seemed like a nice place to have in Hythe.
