    The food was absolutely excellent. We took the 3 course option but for sure that was plenty of food. The night couldn’t be better and all 6 of us loved it

    Great hidden gem in San Jose. We have been living here for the past 3 years in the winter and was just recommended by a friend. We have dined everywhere between San Jose and Cabo and this is towards the top of our dining experiences. We highly recommend!

    Phortal delivers an amazing dining experience from start to finish, offering fine dining in a beautifully minimal yet warm space. The service was truly exceptional. We were taken care of by Eduardo, Oziel, and David, all of whom showcased hospitality that was second to none. Eduardo, our main server, was a standout—he was knowledgeable about every dish, giving detailed insights into the ingredients when we asked. His ability to read the table and know when to engage or step back made the experience even more enjoyable. We opted for the five-course menu, though with the amuse-bouche and extras, it felt more like an eight- or nine-course feast. Every dish was masterfully crafted, offering flavors that were unlike anything I’d tasted before, proving this restaurant operates on a whole other culinary level. My personal favorite was the filet mignon, with the shrimp empanada and mole coming in as a close second. That said, every single dish was outstanding, and putting our trust in the chef to curate the experience was a decision I don’t regret. Even the gin and tonic was one of the best I’ve ever had. I HIGHLY recommend Phortal for anyone seeking an unforgettable dining experience.

    Phortal is my new favorite restaurant in San Jose del Cabo for fine dining. We chose the 5 course meal. Every amuse bouche and course were absolutely delicious and extremely flavorful! The service was spectacular. The ambiance is beautiful and serene. The price, in my mind, is a good value for all the delectable tastes you get. I’ll be coming back for sure… many times!
