Portneuf Grille & Lounge

Joe Burgan

One of the few places in town to eat out. Old style elegance located in the basement of the building so takes a little effort to locate. Food was tasty but on the pricey side. My wife and I had the salmon while others in our party had the prime rib and the stuffed poblano pepper which both looked good. Menu on line was not updated so items we actually were looking forward to ordering were not available which was disappointing. Even items on the menu were not available.

This is a tough one for me as I did go in with high expectations due to all the good reviews. Unfortunately those expectations were not met. The restaurant itself is very beautiful. The decor matches well with the hotel it is located in. My husband ordered the Ruby Red Trout. The polenta that comes with it had no flavoring to it. Essentially just like corn meal soaked in hot water. The Ruby Red sauce on the trout was very bland and missing that citrus flavor. However the asparagus was cooked perfect. I had the Filet Mignon it was cooked to medium rare as I had requested however the horseradish was quite over powering. (That is my personal taste though) The mashed potatoes had essentially no flavor to them. Again the asparagus was cooked perfect. We also got a Ceasar Salad. I have to say it had wayy to much dressing on it. It was very overpowering. Our server was very attentive and friendly I know its been said before, but it is very pricey, so be prepared to spend. I am not saying don't try this place as everyone's tastes are different and the Chef could have just been having an off night. It happens. 🤷‍♀️

For a restaurant that I needed a reservation for, this was not what I expected!! The salad was fine, the beer was cold and so was our filet mignon!!! The waitress brought dinner and never checked back on us. The next time we saw her, she was outside playing with the fall leaves. Seriously?! I have cold dinner and she's picking leaves? Don't waste your time or money here...it isn't worth it!! This place definitely isn't living up to their own hype online. Was very disappointed. 🙄

Food was very good. Pomegranate lemonade was super intense which is how I like my lemonade but some people might think it too strong and sour. Wedge salad had incredible blue cheese, but would have benefited from some crisp bacon crumbles. Humus platter was okay. I had the chicken and my husband had the pork. Blueberry was the theme for the desserts but I actually would have liked the desserts better without the blueberry glaze. I overheard that they ran out of about four of the six entrees by the time we left, which can be good or bad depending on how you look at it. Atmosphere was lacking! I mean, I understand that they are going through a massive remodel, but there were things here and there that could have made the experience better despite the awful building...like having a real flower (or even real silk centerpiece) at the table instead of a silly dollar-store type plastic flower. Service was in (general) good. They mostly stayed away so my husband and I could chat on our date. But they didn't keep our glasses filled, so if the servers could be quicker at doing that, the service would be spot on. To sum up: food very good, service good, guitar player good, physical atmosphere very bad. Considering that it is a somewhat high-end restaurant, the service needs to be excellent and the table settings more appealing. With a little more effort, this place can be a solid five stars.
