Dear valued patrons,
It is with a heavy heart that we announce the closing of Portobello Café, a beloved establishment that has been serving our community for 27 years. Unfortunately, this decision has been forced upon us due to the sudden and unexpected passing of our owner, Adam Lener.
Regrettably, we must close our doors on Tuesday May 16 due to legal reasons. While our family sorts out the details, we cannot continue to run the restaurant. This has been an incredibly difficult decision for us, as Portobello Café has been a labor of love and a fixture in the community for many years.
We would like to express our deepest gratitude to all of our patrons who have supported us throughout the years. We have been honored to be a part of your lives and your special occasions, and we will cherish the memories we have made together.
We ask for your understanding during this difficult time, and we hope to find a way to honor Adam’s memory and the legacy of Portobello Café in the future.
Sincerely,
The Portobello Café Family

This community icon has done so much for so many, and we want to honor his memory by gathering on Thursday, April 20th 7-9pm
