My wife and I went for lunch and had the dinner for two. It was $185 for 2 salads, 2 sides, 1 32 Oz Porterhouse, and 1 large shareable dessert. The food was poorly handled for the price. The salad was fine, but come on, it's a salad. The sides we got with our meal were mashed potatoes and carrots. Both were served cold. The Porterhouse was supposed to be the star of the show, but it fell short too. We ordered it medium, but it came out from a range of temperatures from rare to well done. I understand when you cook a bone in steak that it takes longer to cook near the bone. However, when done properly, it should be an even cook. It should have been approached better for the price point and reputation. I COULD HAVE WENT TO TEXAS ROADHOUSE AND GOT THE SAME STEAK COOKED BETTER. The dessert was good though.
When we arrived, we were told that we had to wait for ten minutes to be seated when the establishment was obviously mostly empty. This was probably due to space out the waitress's services. I understand that and it shouldn't be factored against the establishment , but we went to the bar for a drink and we're never served. That is a huge oversight for not only hospitality but also for the restaurant to meet its bottom line. They shouldn't miss out on that opportunity. Especially since drinks have large profit margins for the business.
The server did great. She was a trooper and trained very well.
I will not be going back to this place.

Fantastic dinner and drinks at Porters. 16oz filet cooked perfectly med rare. Crispy Brussels and Goat Cheese mashed potatoes. Wagyu Chicken Fry was done perfectly also. Cocktails were on point and dessert was delicious. A peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream and granola. The service was top notch and Haley did an incredible job taking care of everything we needed. Many thanks to the chef and staff for an overall amazing experience.

Great Food! Great Service!! Gave them a 20% and they took another 7%. Honest mistake we will never know. Just watch the total going through the bank!

Food is always over salted. Time to get food is long. Quality of food isn't that great....Have been there about 10 times, not by choice, and it has gone down hill with every visti.

I went here as a treat to myself for my birthday. Of all the fine dining restaurants I have been to, this one had one of the best atmosphere yet. The staff was wonderful, the food arrived fast, the food was delicious, and it didn’t feel overly stuffy and stuck up like many other fine dining restaurants. I would highly recommend anyone to dine here.
