Frommer's Review

A small restaurant serving excellent home-style cookery, Portia's Place often fills up early and does a roaring lunchtime trade. The best things on the menu are lamb ribs in shang tung sauce, King Island filet steak in pepper sauce, flaming pork (brought to your table wrapped in foil and, yes, flaming), and Queensland trout stir-fried with snow peas, although the steamed dumplings -- home-style gow-tse filled with pork and freshly chopped chives served in a bamboo basket -- are pretty addictive.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
