    I strongly recommend El Porton for authentic Spanish dining experience. Maria immediately welcomes you like a family member and it is clear that she loves looking after her guests. I will definitely be returning.

    General Omakase Course. From the cute entry where you have to push a door bell it was an experience like no other on the GC. I was transported back to Tokyo - where I lived for 10 years. The server Mayu was kind and engaging and really a wonderful host as were all the other staff, they gave a genuine warmth and made you feel so special. The Yoyogi Black Beer was smooth and lovely a perfect match with the delectable yakitori that was cooked with art and refinement. Our course started with a clear chicken broth, so cleansing with the smokey charcoal flavour, Each course was delivered in an unhurried yet timely manner, where you could enjoy the experience of dining and conversation. The volume of the food is less than most are accustomed to in Australia but we were so full by the end, and our taste buds were in heaven. It is not about wolfing down a huge meal but enjoying the flavours as they hit you and satisfy you. The sashimi was of the highest quality, the tempura so delicate, the chicken amazing and the salad fresh. The wagyu sandwich was to die for! Thank you for a lovely Valentines Day, definitely an occasion restaurant. Dress to impress, put your phones away (apart from for snapping a few foodie pics) and enjoy each other, and the experience. We loved it!!
