   I was disappointed that you couldn’t order off the menu. It could be because it’s the holidays but that should be made clear when making reservations. Not at the restaurant So if you don’t like buffet style food but want the music and the experience ok. The music was great but a little too loud. You couldn’t hear yourself talk to the people at your table. The waiters were very attentive to your needs.

   The food is great. On Saturday and Sunday's they have the buffet only which is great. With the buffet you get a variety of food. The french toast is very good. The jazz music was awesome. The service was very good as well. The only downside is it cool in the restaurant, because it is close to the entrance. I just wished it had heaters or some type of heating element close by. The chef came out and spoke with us to make sure we enjoyed our food and he was pleasant and down-to-earth. Overall this is a place I will continue to go back to monthly for some great food and music.

   Portum is a go-to for me. Everything I’ve tried has been excellent. My personal favorite is the Rainbow trout topped with a spinach and crab mix. But everything has been great - corn and crab bisque, wings, calamari…you can’t go wrong!

   You can't beat their brunch. It's the first place I think of when friends say let's get together. Everyone I take there loves it. Always a great selection of food for every diet, especially carnivores. Non-alcoholic drinks are included with the brunch buffet. The coffee is awesome.The wait staff makes you feel like you're a guest at their home. Tip is included but the service is so great you'll probably want to give a little extra. Good music, but if you don't want to hear it as loud, you can sit in the back closer to the food. Location is right off the beltway close to DC Maryland and Virginia. Free parking.

   I have dined at Portum a few times (including the Jazz Brunch) held on the weekends. I have never been disappointed with my experience as the food, service and ambience is good. Charlotte Jefferson
