Portabello’s An American Cafe offers casual American dining. Fresh specials are available daily. ‘The dining room is cozy and intimate with pale yellow brick and arched windows. The service reflects genuine commitment to each patron’s enjoyment. You can even order a particular fish in advance as a special request. Chef Ash has created a “creative yet approachable cuisine”. Immense, Jumbo lump crab cakes are legendary while the roasted vegetable ratatouille tossed with feta cheese and a roasted red pepper sauce is as colorful as it is flavorful’ – The Washington Post 6/13/07

"Excellent, fresh food, very accommodating service, and the owners are wonderful. I read the coupon guy's review, and it states on the front door that they don't accept those coupons. I've never experienced or witnessed anything but graciousness from the owners and the staff."

OWNER IS RUDE: DO NOT GO THERE!

Reviewed by jimmytea on August 15, 2007

jimmytea's rating:

"The owner is rude. He would not honor the entertainment book coupon, and I complained about his attitude after the meal. He said that he did not care. I tried to contact him to discuss this with him, and he told me that he would not apologize. Granted, the food is good, but this man had a big attitude problem. DO NOT VISIT!"

Pleasant Lunch with friends or coworkers

Reviewed by jlandy on January 04, 2007

jlandy's rating:

"A great place for a nice lunch. the menu is priced reasonably and the food is consistantly good. As to be expected, they have a good portabello mushroom sandwich but, other (non-vegetarian) things are quite good, too. the menu is not big, but provides a decent variety that most people can find something that interests them. the restaurant is small and partly below ground level (making the windows high up) but still well lit with sunlight. there are stairs to come in (going down). The restaurant is usually fairly quiet, even when full."
