"I had not dined at this restaurant for almost 8 years until tonight, when I reluctantly decided to give it another try. Unfortunately, my initial impressions were confirmed. The service was still subpar and the food remained flavorless. Despite the restaurant's longevity, the quality had not improved. Our large group experienced a 25-minute wait for our reserved table, followed by a lengthy delay in receiving menus. The waiter's rude demeanor further soured our experience. The food lacked taste and left all of us disappointed. The only speedy aspect of the evening was the arrival of the bill alongside chocolates, which we promptly paid for. It took an additional 15 minutes for a staff member to process our payment. Displeased with our overall experience, I have no intention of returning to this establishment for a third time. Let's hope I can stay true to that decision."

Went tonight. Staff could not be nicer. Food was as ever amazing. The road works that they are coping with outside have not put me off and I hope it doesn't effect the business too much. One of the best places to eat in the area . The king prawn aoli is awesome !!

We made a last-minute decision to book an early evening meal on New Year's Eve. The staff were very accommodating and were able to secure a nice table for us. The waiters were professional and courteous. The food, drinks, and service were all excellent. The ribs were delicious. We will definitely be back again soon. Thank you.

Worst restaurant we’ve ever been to. Not only was the food bland, there was a HUGE hair in the food. When speaking to the waiter he told us the chefs were all bald however we could clearly see a girl in there/ wasn’t making it up? The staff were very rude the whole night that is what little staff there were; there was about 2 members of staff all night. It does look nice as a restaurant but would never return or recommend!

We visited Porada on a Saturday night and arrived a little early but out table was ready and the staff greeted us straight away. The whole evening was excellent great service we ordered drinks straight away and no delays with food or service . Garlic bread to share and ribs to start both excellent everyone enjoyed the starters especially the mussels. We had a range of mains steak, chicken, sea bass and a pizza all very nice alas we didn’t have a sweet as we were too full but a cocktail and a gin both very nice it was our first visit but it won’t be our last.

I apologize for the delayed review. I made a reservation for a table for 11 people on Saturday, December 16th at 4pm for my birthday. We were promptly given menus and asked for our drink orders. We started with various garlic bread starters, which were delicious. Our pasta and risotto dishes arrived hot and tasty. After a brief break, we ordered liqueur coffees. The food was wonderful and the service from the waiters was excellent. I want to give a special thanks for the tiramisu that was given to me for my birthday. Overall, it was a fantastic afternoon. Thank you xx

We came as a party of 7 for a special birthday. Cocktails were lovely and great value for money. Food was amazing from garlic bread, chicken in mushroom sauce, spaghetti bolognese, mussels prawns, all 7 of us were very pleased with our meals! Service was great, waiters interacted had a laugh! They sang to the birthday girl and the atmosphere was spot on. We were in a booth area on a large round table and it was like perfect seating for us. We can’t wait to come back and bring our partners so they can try the food here too. Would definitely recommend coming here. Great for friends/family/date nights. View menu

Went here for a family meal, have been once before and was not overly impressed that time either. The food is on par with most Italians as it is what it is… that’s why I gave it an average score. The worst thing was the service.. from being seated was about 15 minutes before someone arrived to take a drinks order then another 10 minutes as there was only one person behind the bar… Saw 3 men working there and a young girl servicing both upstairs and downstairs and one of them spent most of the evening near the front door… There was a good 5 -10 minute delay on both starters and main courses to be delivered to us all resulting in either waiting to be polite or finishing at different times.

We arrived on time for our 830pm table but after 30 minutes we were still all stood at the bar no seating was available when our daughter politely enquired how long the table was going be she was met by a very rude response from the member of staff who said he had no idea ask the manager we did and were told they we’re waiting for a group to vacate the table and could not give us a time then the other member of staff came back and said told you I didn’t know the restaurant looked chaotic and poorly run after 40 minutes we just left thank you porada for ruining my wife’s bi...
