    First time trying this new restaurant. The experience was great. Even though it was on NYE, the restaurant was very well organized and managed. The atmosphere was fun and enjoyable. The services from the hosts and the waiter were professional and personal. Food were delicious. We totally enjoyed the experience and food, and we will definitely be back. Thank you.

    Another wonderful dinner at Portofino on New Year's Eve. Despite a full house, BJ provided a great old fashioned when we entered and Joe was with us every step of the meal. My wife loved the manicotti and seafood special and the short rib special with risotto was outstanding. Oh, and I almost forgot the marvelous lentil soup. Portofino continues to be one of the best; if not the outright best; run restaurant in Myrtle Beach. The food is always hot, always tasty and the staff is always professional.

    First time here and was a gem in the rough meaning without visiting or a good reputation we would not have gone. Was a very pleasant surprise. A little on the pricey side but not excessive for resort prices
