Service was terrific. Cocktails were nice. Like most places, prices have gone up quite a bit, but the disappointment is that the menu for this location on the website was better than the menu in-house. They removed a good few of the vegan options, which is the reason I have gone to the various Port House locations over the years. They replaced some with lesser options. Feels like a means to save on more expensive ingredients while still increasing the price. Service is always excellent, so no issue with that, however the fewer vegan / veggie options with coupled with significant increase in prices means it will likely be sometimes before I consider returning.
