Puerto - Frankston East

The décor and ambience of Puerto was terrific, with plenty of room between tables allowing a level of privacy. That said, in a half full restaurant sitting next to a table of 6 loud speakers was a little intrusive. Service was excellent, very attentive and good timing between courses; for us it was a tapas with 8 different pieces. Our Spanish waiter was appropriately friendly and knowledgeable, and a pleasure to deal with. The introductory (complimentary) bread and dipping oil was a lovely surprise and of really good quality. Wine is a bit expensive but of good quality. So, while food is reasonably priced, be aware that your drinks will balloon the bill very quickly.

Puerto is not only an amazing place for a lunch or dinner by the water but an incredible venue for a special occasion. On Saturday night we celebrated my daughters 21st birthday with family and friends - 80+ at Puerto. The food was amazing, the service was outstanding, the location was perfect and we have not stopped receiving calls and texts from everyone about how impressed they were. The event was superbly managed by Diego. I cannot recommend Puerto highly enough and thank them so much for making Chloe's Birthday so special and a night to remember. Make a point to call in if you are in the area for beautiful waterfront dining - you won't be disappointed.

Took my wife to puerto for a romantic dinner on Saturday night, it was our first time as we were passing by and googled what was the best rated restaurant in the area. Such an amazing place, decor is absolutely stunning and ambience was great ( very busy ). We ordered the garlic prawns and scallops to start with followed by lamb shoulder and the wet rice. Our waitress was lovely and took very good care of us. First starter ( the prawns ) were amazing however the scallops never came to the table. The manager came to the table to ask how was our dinning experience going so we told him that we had been waiting for about 20 minutes for the scallops to arrived. He apologised and said our scallops were going to be sent from the kitchen right away, indeed he solved our issue and finally they arrived after two minutes since we told him. Mains were absolutely yummy and deserts to die for. The best of the night was when the manager came and offered us a glass of sherry from the south of Spain to match our desserts, he thanked us for being patience as it was a busy night . Thanks again for looking after us and making from a simple mistake a memorable night.

We have visited with other friends on three occasions and have not been disappointed. Quality is top draw, excellent service every time, great drinks, and an awesome atmosphere - our favourite place to dine in the Patterson Lakes area.

Another memorable experience at Puerto.I invited a friend of mine this time (a great chef) and he was very impressed with the food and the service.We tried few tapas from the new menu and shared a main course: duck leg Madrid style..served with chorizo, chick peas and morcilla. What an incredible main.Churros to finish. All courses were perfectly matched with elegant cocktails and a bottle of Toro Wine.What else to say:Once again, can't wait to be back.Gracias Diego and Blake.
