Fabiano's River House Bar & Grill

Located on the river in downtown Portland, this is fun spot. There is a year-round outdoor area with views of the river and the bar/restaurant area. I had a deluxe pizza which was AMAZING. It was handmade crust (which is rare these days) with plenty of toppings. Price was comparable to the surrounding area. The only issue is, there is not a lot of parking area, so get there early. Great place to visit.

I ordered the calzone and let me tell you. It was the sauciest and cheeseist calzone I've ever had. The service was impeccable because of the cute waitress they had and how polite she was no matter what even after my grandma kept switching subjects when the waitress was trying to get her attention. The atmosphere alone was very old fashioned which fit very well as a sports bar but it felt so very modern. Overall very good experience will come back when I get the chance too.

A restaurant along the river in Portland, with an outdoor patio, and quaint decor indoors framed with hand hewn timbers and woodwork. A variety of dishes on the menu, including pizza and calzones, burgers, grinders and other sandwiches, up to steak or fish dinners. We enjoyed a nice lunch with several of the above items as our choices.

2023_08_19 We were in Holt and needed a place to eat on our way back to West Michigan. With Portland on our way and knowing Portland has a lot going for it I found Fabiano's River House Bar & Grille on Google Maps, well rated and looking like a good place to stop. It was everything we were wanting and we will work to stop again! The service was continually and friendly! The food was great! And the atmosphere was very nice. We were there late afternoon, during a time when we could walk in and grab a table, on the deck along the river. I would imagine that is not always the case as the deck is not huge. I estimate maybe 30-40 seats. There is a bar out there as well, with maybe 8 seats. There is also an interior portion of the restaurant and bar. Totally separate but apparently still the same. Sitting on the deck, being on the Looking Glass River, just south of where it meets the Grand River, is very nice. There is a nice park across the river with an adjacent bridge, for a nice after dinner walk. And Portland seems to have a nice downtown adjacent as well, although we got on our way and didn't spend any more time, other than driving through. Again we will work to go back.
