Porta Via

The choice of either inside or outside seating is nice. China plates, good utensils, white tablecloths and napkins all lend to a nice dining experience. The food was good, but could be seasoned a bit more. Seems to be a bit on the bland side to accommodate a wider group of people. Had the Neapolitan Omelet while my dad had the Bistro Burger which was overcooked from the requested Medium-Rare, but not to the point of sending it back. We both had fruit smoothies which were great, but small for the price. Overall a good experience if you don't mind the high prices. (The Non-alcohol brunch listed above was $72 before tip for 2 people.)

The ambiance was superb, and the beef patty in the hamburger was juicy and delicious – I loved it! Several of my Chinese friends who were with me are fluent in Spanish, so they directly communicated with the Latin American server in Spanish. The server was very friendly and even provided complimentary bread before the meal.
