Passed by early evening and aueried booking; we were told no reservations so returned early in the hope of securing a table. We were glad we did as, by 7.30 it was very busy with several couples waiting for a table. What we saw as this evolved, was exceptional management; everyone who walked though the door was greeted, given a realistic idea of the wait and invited to take a drink upstairs (the best majority did) In the meantime, we enjoyed a fabulous meal, comparable to the quality we’ve experienced both in Spain and in London. Particular highlights, the olives, the boquerones, the roasted squash and the turron cheesecake. We loved it and will be back next time we’re in Chester

Recently bought a gift voucher for a friends wedding present online and an issue occurred where I didn’t receive the e voucher. Contacted via the website and Ben came straight back. It was around 8pm and he resolved the issue within hours and was able to get the vouchers that night! Fantastic customer service and can safely say the wedding present was a hit with the newly weds!

Absolutely fantastic venue, the tapas is excellent and of great quality and taste.We will be heading back.Note you cannot reserve tables, however if one is not immediately available the bar is a nice place to have a drink while waiting for your table, it won't take very long from our experience on a Saturday evening we could have only been waiting 15 minutes at the most, there are alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks available.

Called into Porta for lunch whilst visiting Chester christmas market stalls & inside food hall. We had potato bravas, barley & chorizo stew, fried blue cheese & honey balls , pork belly & calamari , all cooked perfectly as usual. The service was excellent . It was very busy especially for a Tuesday afternoon , but due to the quality of the food , its not surprising really. Highly recommended
We visited 8th Dec and from the moment we walked in we felt welcome. It was a very busy Friday evening and at first no tables to eat were available. But the staff invited us to seating area to have a drink while a table was available. It only took about 15mins and they called us back to be seated. The food was delicious fresh and beautifully presented. The waiter helpfully identified vegetarian dishes. The service was outstanding so friendly and fast. Would highly recommend ?

My daughter is an Opera Singer and she wasn’t free to eat until 10pm. We arrived at closing time and were the last to leave. They put themselves out to make our evening memorable even though the place was full and they were very busy. The food was exceptional, the service outstanding. A fabulous place . Thank you Porta for making our stay in Chester special.

Visited on a evening out in Chester.The restaurant seemed very busy for 18.00 but within 10 minutes they had found us a table for two. Once ordered all the food arrived hot and at intervals which allowed us to enjoy without feeling rushed. The food and wine was all enjoyable and we would return again.
