Raise a glass to Jody Adams, recently named to the James Beard Foundation’s “Who’s Who” list, and do it on the spacious patio of her Mediterranean restaurant. Set under strings of twinkling lights, the terrace is outfitted with lounge seating and its own bar, which serves surprisingly inexpensive $5 cocktail specials. Plus, Porto’s position on Ring Road, a short side street on the backside of the Prudential, is attractively tucked ever-so-slightly away from Boylston Street’s buzz.
