Portales Restaurant 6148 Franconia Road, Alexandria, VA 22310

"Great stop to dance a little. Beers are not crazy expensive. I got pique macho which I'm not usually a fan of but their steak is amazingly soft and tender. I definitely recommend that. The dance floor gets tight but usually everywhere else is the same. Service was ok just not as attentive as I'd expect."

"Paid 74 dollars for the new years event, food was bland no flavor, steak was well done and reheated, drinks were awful worst piña colada I’ve ever had. Even the the ginger ale tasted off. Final straw they have the audacity to charge a $10 food service charge and a $10 drink service charge. On top of the 74 already paid. I really just paid almost 100 dollars for bland steak flavorless rice and mid potatoes"

"Have been here many times for dinner and other times for birthday dinners. The staff are wonderful, extremely professional and courteous. They go out of their way to make dinner a great experience for their customers. The food is the best! Everything! The only place that can compare is their sister restaurant Girabaldi's over on Rt 2."

"Great nightlife vibes here, alternating between a fun live band and DJ. The cover charge is not bad and the drink prices are decent. The chicken empanadas are delicious and make my mouth water thinking about them."
