Portal

A true Oakland gem. One of the best brunches in Oakland. (They also have great lunch and dinner options). I've been going to Portal for about 10 years or however long they've been open. I've eaten countless brunches and dinners here. The staff are super friendly and welcoming. Love ya Melvin! The food and drinks are always good. I truly wanted to write this review because this past October the owner, Melvin, and other wait staff went above and beyond in helping me surprise my friend for her birthday. They held our table, kept the party size secret when we entered, we all sang, and they gave her a Birthday crown. It was EPIC! Thank you so much Portal. Also, be sure to check out their themed game nights or watch a game on their big screens.

Everything was delicious, I dont usually ask for chicken and waffles because is kind of difficult to found a good place for that, but here it was really good. They also have live music good places to chill and eat.

I visited Portals this weekend for brunch with my friend and absolutely loved it here! The food, vibes and customer service was absolutely amazing! Everything came out very quickly and was season to perfection! I would definitely be coming back here

This small-ish restaurant has BIG TASTE. It was my first time there and I had the brunch chilequiles. WOW. The best Ive ever had!!! My friend got the special surf & turf with filet mignon, eggs & prawns. It was a presentation fit for a 5-star restaurant. And she loved it. This place is awesome!!!!
