The Portland Public House

I came here for my birthday with 2 people that I care about, the food was fantastic, the service was amazing and the staff are awesome. This is an exceptional place in Kingsland, close to the bus stop, train station, Eden Park with ample down a nearby side street. I highly recommend this place to anyone local or visiting the area.

Absolutely disappointing experience. We had a reservation at Portland Public House to celebrate my friend’s birthday, but the evening turned out to be incredibly stressful. The ordering and reservation system seemed completely disorganized. We waited nearly an hour for our food, which never arrived, and during that time, a woman came over, stared at us, and told us that we were sitting at her reserved table—even though our reservation details were clearly displayed on the table. She and others came back multiple times, which made us feel very uncomfortable. When we reached out to the staff and the manager for help, the solution offered was simply to move us to another table, without any explanation or apology. We eventually decided to leave. It was honestly a painful experience on what should have been a happy occasion. While I didn’t get to try the food, the place seemed quite busy and popular—so perhaps they are capable of better. But I can’t help but wonder: were we treated this way because we were a smaller group? Or because we were one of the few Asian guests that evening? I sincerely hope that wasn’t the case.

We had a family function there an I'm surprised that we had to ask for extra suviettes, forks, spoons & between 17 people only had one jug of water no sure if that was brought out or asked for. No complaints about food, was pretty average. I had ribs with chips & salad, ribs were peppery bbq almost like spicy but nice, chips were fine, but salad was bland. 6/10 My son had Karage chicken burger with chips he loved it rated it a 7/10. $18 + $4.5 for the chips My niece had nachos she loved it, 8.5/10. $22 Partner had a beef burger he said there wasn't anything great about it but said it was average. 7/10 $18 + $4.5 for the chips. $25 for a jug of lemonade. Over all the staff were very chirpy and nice. Parked across the road for free parking.

Great food and cocktails. We had a great time. Would be nice if we could get table service.

Wow-wow-wow!!! We came in for an early dinner and were surprised by the food and drinks. Jalapeños poppers are out of this world and the drinks were amazing. Service was great!

Everything we ordered was awesome, except the espresso martinis.

Great place - nice cocktail and juicy, delicious burgers.
