A service charge and applicable state and local taxes will be added to all food and beverage charges.

MISCELLANEOUS CHARGES
Guests are required to secure management’s approval before bringing in any outside cake. If guests choose to bring their own wine, there will be a $15.00 per bottle (750 ml) corkage fee, where applicable.

ROOM MINIMUMS
Portofino does not automatically levy a “room charge”. Instead, we have established with each function room, a minimum of food and beverage dollars that must be spent. These amounts often differ by day and evening, as well as weekday and weekend. If these minimums are not met, then a room rental charge will be added to the final bill. Taxes and service charges do not count towards the food and beverage minimum calculation.
