Porter's Steakhouse-CollinsvilleCelebratory dinner was as we hopedWife's birthday, Father's day for me. Shrimp cocktail and crabcake appetizers. Crabcakes would have benefited from a little grilling, but that's my preference. Shrimp were large, fresh and tasty. My 10 oz filet mignon was cooked to perfection, and was the best steak I have ever been served in any restaurant. Wife's shrimp scampi was flavorful. Desserts were a wow! Waiter was attentive and professional. Any issues were quickly resolved with no fuss. We definitely plan to return in the near future for another great dining experience!6/15/2013 12:00:00 AMGood Wine, Good Atmosphere...Went to Porters with my husband and another couple. We actually had a nice time, to my surprise. (I had a sub-par experience the last time, but our friends wanted to go.) The atmosphere was great, and the wine was perfect - a nice Spatlase Riesling from Bernkastel. (Mosel River/Germany) Jeff, the wine steward, recommended it, and it was a nice fit for all. We finished the bottle. (Around $80.00 a bottle - a good deal when it's $20.00 a glass.) We didn't order appetizers, but the Lobster Bisque was fantastic, and my friends enjoyed the Steak and Barley. The House Salad was also tasty. As for the meal, my friends loved the Peppered Loin Steak and the Pork Loin. My husband's Ribeye was too tough, and I was not impressed with the Mixed Grill.5/31/2013 12:00:00 AM10 OZ. OF HEAVEN !!!!It was my first(of many in the future) time to dine at Porter's and i was delighted with our waiter,service and of course my LUCIOUS,COOKED TO PERFECTION 10 OZ.FILET .... THE OTHER 3 IN OUR PARTY WERE JUST AS HAPPY!!! NICE JOB PORTER'S!!!5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMAlways SpecialWe are fortunate enough to visit Porter several times per year. Apparently the word is getting out in that the occupied tables grow every time. it is a great place for an unhurried experience when catching up with or simply enjoying being with friends. The food is always predictably consistent and excellent. Everyone with us loved the their Peppercorn Steak specialty. We've been there on their busiest nights and the service is always great. For those who enjoy wine, they've always got some special surprise to accent whatever you're ordering. For dessert, don't miss their carrot cake. This one might make you think about having dessert first!5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMRomantic EveningI was impressed with the atmosphere. The only thing better would be privacy. The tables in our area was open. There were other more-private seats. I was impressed with the wine cart brought out. Being able to sample some really fine wine was awesome! We splurge and had some of the best with dinner. The steak....I'll have to admit, the BEST I have ever had! It was so tender, I had to try to do it and..i cut it with a fork! The flavor was awesome! Our server was good, but not outstanding. You could tell he was stressing about juggling everyone else. Grant it, the noise level probably had to do with others having wine, but there were a few times I couldn't hear my fiance across the table. So, overall Great Event!5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMWe've been to Porters severalWe've been to Porters several times and really enjoy it. This time the service was a little slow. We waited longer than normal to be met by our server and the main course was slow coming out of the kitchen (compared to what we have experienced in the past). Finally, the lobster was a little over cooked.5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMBest Scallops in IllinoisMy fiancé and I went to Porter's for a date night. The ambience was nice and cozy. The food was fabulous! We started with a bottle of Moscato Asti, it was delicious! With bread 3 types of butter was served. The pimento butter was amazing! I could not stop eating bread and butter! I ordered the scallops. What a culinary treat! They were nice and big and the white wine butter sauce was divine! My only complaint was that I did not have enough room in my stomach to try dessert!5/6/2013 12:00:00 AMWe will be back!We have visited 3 times and have yet to not enjoy everything about Porter's. Great food and staff always very friendly.4/12/2013 12:00:00 AMGet the Bone inGreat place with great steak. Get the bone-in option for a wonderful experience. James was a great server if you need one...attentive, but not troublesome, and very knowledgeable of the menu. Wine selection was very good. Think twice when they ask if you want bottled water, the tap water had a distracting taste.4/10/2013 12:00:00 AMOther than the service everythingOther than the service everything was pretty good. The sommelier made the experience very pleasureable but the timing of the food and the style of the server took away from what otherwise would have given you an outstanding meal.4/10/2013 12:00:00 AMEaster Brunch was awesome!Easter Brunch was outstanding.
