"Simple gastropub fare — plus beer, wine, and cocktails — and brunch are on offer on Portal’s spacious patio six days a week. The wood bench-and-umbrella setup is pretty typical, but the view of Lake Merritt and downtown from the eastern side make it special. Kids are welcome, but not dogs." - Eater Staff
