Service was great! Food was as expected for a NY Steakhouse but overpriced

They never disappoint, which is why we celebrate all special occasions with Porter House!
Fantastic food, atmosphere and amazing people.
We love the Cowboy Ribeye for the main dish, with the carrots for a side (sweet and amazing) and always have the King's Old Fashion to drink.

Food was great- except my steak was over cooked (they butterflied the filet and it came out “well done”). I did not complain. Rest of the meal was great! Service was good - they forgot a couple things (other tables got these good looking biscuits which we didn’t get- not that I needed more to eat, asked a few times for olive oil). Definitely did not get rushed through the meal. Would definitely go again!

Very reliable, great food and service!
A little on the expensive side

Seated too close to wait staff area - There shouldn’t be a table near the service area

My waitress was the worst!! She should not be working with the public! She made me and my guest very nervous

My wife and I brought our daughters to NYC for a few days and love this restaurant. The restaurant accommodated us with a window seat and everything was outstanding. We look forward to many return trips.

Very nice restaurant, beautifully decorated, excellent ambiance of modern, new sophistication. Service is very good, drinks are very good, wine list is extensive and offers rare by-the-glass selections not normally found. The pace, even on a weekend night, is not hurried, you never feel rushed or pushed, though the restaurant is crowded. Very cool bar, too.

The sommelier forgot our wine and we did not receive our bottle until our meal was served. The waiter was wonderful and pleasant.

5 star experience, the gentleman who served us was superb!

Phenomenal! Everything was cooked perfectly which must be why the restaurant was all booked up and still bustling even at 10:00pm on a Saturday!

None of the mains or sides had enough salt. Also the water glasses stayed empty most of dinner

We went for a 50th birthday family diner. The food was excellent , had to wait a bit even with reservations but it was worth it. A little slow on the service but again worth it. It is pretty noisy so if you want an intimate dinner this is not the place.

Porter House has wonderful ambiance and stunning views of Columbus Circle/Central Park South. The food is somewhat typical high-end steakhouse, with a few bright spots (white truffles being in season and some excellent risotto). The service was attentive but lacked personality. Overall it was a dependable choice well suited to a business meal or occasion, made significantly better by the views.

I came here with my dad, sister, and dad’s friend because Porter House was voted the best steakhouse in NYC by New York Magazine, and it DEFINITELY met our expectations! The steak was amazing, as well as the ice cream sundae at the end of the evening. I will definitely return!

Consistently Excellent and delicious cuisine. Very wonderful accommodating staff.

Elegant enough for special occasions, but unpretentious enough for everyday dining. Not cheap but actually good value. I strongly recommend.

The waiter was rude at the outset but seemed to quieter down. Refused to seat us in the nice table next to our table even though it was 9.30 and no one else was coming! The aged steak was awesome!

My husband and I chose this restaurant to celebrate a recently closed business transaction. We requested a window table. Maybe they moved a table temporarily to accommodate, which was greatly appreciated, but it was a very small table which partially blocked the adjacent seating for another table. This made it awkward when people at the other table needed to come and go. The table was too small for what we ordered.

The level of service from initial greeting to goodbye was not what we expected when spending $600 ($225 wine) for two to dine. The som was less than engaging. I know it’s Manhattan but I expected to be offered decanting for a $225 wine. Worse than that, after the initial pour my husband had to pour every time after. We even allowed our glasses to remain empty for extended times to see if we could get service - but no luck.

At the rec of our server we ordered the porterhouse for two. The filet portion was very tender but the sirloin portion was very tough. This was unexpected for a $150+ steak. The mushrooms were cooked in a cheap oil with a resulting so so flavor. The onion rings, raw oysters, and salads were the best things we had.

We have dined at several Michelin restaurants and multiple high end steak restaurants. This one was very underwhelming considering the costs and expectations. It’s disappointing to spend this much and the best thing you had was the fried onion rings! We will not be back.

Food not worth the price. Rip off compared to Wolfgang’s Lugers etc

Good atmosphere... Great, if I were entertaining clients. Food was good too... Not mind blowing, but good. Loved the coconut cake though. Service was a little weird... think they forgot about us a few times. Prices were high... but all around good experience.

Lovely place on the 4th floor of an upscale mall.
Well decorated if not new or lavish but creates the desired ambience. Place is far from hashed though.
If you’re lucky you’ll sit at the four tables over looking the southern tip of Central Park.
Our Porterhouse steak was great.
Side dishes and first courses less so but good nonetheless.
Expensive but worth it.

The best Rib-Eye steak I have had in quite awhile...flavorful, degree of doneness was perfect.

Our new favorite NYC steakhouse!

We went out to dinner here after our son finished the NYC marathon. Dinner was very nice. Good wine selection. I would go again.

The service was amazing. The food amazing. The drinks amazing. The view amazing.
Excellent everything

Amazing food, excellent service. Pretty pricey, but worth it.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our fourth visit to Porterhouse. The service, ambiance and food were all top rate, as usual. It represents the best of New York restaurants.

Been many times, but the lunch service on 11/3 was molasses slow. Took almost an hour to get our entre once ordered.

Phenomenal!!!!

We eat here on a regular basis. It is always outstanding and fresh. The service is professional and personal at the same time!! Definitely a winner!!

Service was little bit too slow
Most of the server look like a apset

Amazing experience from entering the restaurant. Great service and amazing food! Will definitely be back

Maybe my favorite steakhouse. Delicious steak, lovely atmosphere and view.

Professional and friendly service and delicious food.

Great 3-course meal under $40 everyday, include weekends w/ view of Central Park.

Great NY steakhouse vibe in bar. Nice city views from tables in main dining room.

My husband and I dined here on a Saturday night prior to a concert up at the Beacon Theater. The food was absolutely delectable! The meal started with warm chive biscuits with a citrus butter followed by a caesar salad. The salad was perfectly tossed with crunchy garliky croutons. It was big enough for two people to share. For the entree we had the porterhouse for 2, which was AMAZING! We are big fans of Peter Lugers (#1 steak in NYC), and the steak here was on par! It was tender and buttery, with a crisp chared outside and soft pink inside. We had it with the steak fries, which were good but I'd advise ordering one side person as the sides were small. For dessert I had a delicious piece of chocolate cake and the hubs went for homemade raspberry sorbet. All in all the meal was perfect! It is on the pricier side, so come prepared to spend. Highly Recommend!

Worst steak ever. Service was good. Could’ve gotten better food at a Wendy’s.
