Aesthetically pleasing dinning commons with nice views. Breakfast usually has the same menu with some minor changes. Lunch is always a delight. Dinner is a hit or miss. Overall fine quality food with nice workers. Shout out to Tina who’s a sweetheart of a worker and is worthy of some tips!

A very important thing to realize is that Portola was redone this past summer (2017). It has gotten a lot better since then. So when looking at reviews only count the recent reviews of the newer Portola. It’s now big and open and clean and food was good. I’m shocked to say it, but it may now be my favorite dining hall. Either way, I’m definitely eating here more.

I expected to be impressed. But Jill H and the crew have created something that far exceeds expectations. More than a half dozen kitchens, great staff, and fantastic views of the mountains and the bioswale. Biggest surprise, for me, is how quiet the space is. There were hundreds of people enjoying lunch, but the interior space was calming and it was easy to have a nice conversation with my colleague. You’ve done something special here, Team Portola. VERY special.

I understand you close at a certain time. But, of someone is concluding their meal and you see them eating…and you’ve put away food products, I think its rude to rush them to eat. An employee did this today and it was not very nice. I felt rushed and there were more cleaning tasks to be done that wouldn’t take away from me finishing my meal. There were even dishes still sitting to be clean once I put mine away. Please have your employees consider this in customer interactions. Thanks

THIS REVIEW ONLY APPLIES TO SUMMER SESSION:
I absolutely hate how the hours are extremely arbitrary and inconsistent. So much downtime just to open for 1 hour at a time??
