Portofinos is what it is now the NAME CHANGE to La Verandah is probably happening to be consistent with the rest of the fleet. I am sure they will refurbish this area but they are all the same type of venue. Buffet breakfast/lunch and sit down casual dining at night.

Prime 7 is only taking a SMALL portion of Portofino's/La Verandah. It is about four or six tables is all that is going into Prime 7. The majority of the new Prime 7 restaurant will be in this area that you cannot see now behind the forward wall of Portofinos/La Verandah. So the inpact on Portofino/La Verandah will be negligible. Very few people sat in that back area.
