Porter Kitchen and Deck

Went there with my friend for drink and dinner. Loved the cocktails

We had the BEST experience! Great drinks, awesome view of the water, and had the best service! The hostess made our night! Will definitely be going back during our next Chicago trip.

Location is a bit tricky to find if you don’t already know it’s inside the building on a lower level, but there was helpful staff as soon as you walk in! Everyone was super friendly, and the food was so yummy! The charred octopus was well cooked, the lobster roll was buttery and fresh, & the burger was huge! Also definitely loved the drinks, so tasty! Would 100% go back!

Great food, excellent service, cool cocktails and a fantastic view of the river. Very Covid safe. Highly recommended.

Food is delicious - healthy and fresh! Recommend getting salmon on the grain bowl or any salad. Great service, beautiful views!

Everything was perfect and the food is delicious!!!

Great service

The host who greeted us at our table was the worst I’ve ever encountered!! Her attitude was appalling. She argued with me on two mute points. I told her that the table we were given was “awful” (no river views for the duo facing the bar) and she had the attitude and actual stupidity to disagree with me. Saying in a hostile tone that “it’s not awful”. The Customer is always right so you need to lose her or retrain her on your policies and procedures. I won’t be back because of her. She was dancing around like a Vegas club dancer as we left. Not a good luck. I have a picture of her if anyone actually reads this feedback and uses it to make meaningful changes to create a better customer experience.

Loved the location and ambience at Porter Kitchen and Deck! The menu is fairly limited, but we very much enjoyed the burrata, scallops and brick chicken, with a delicious Old Fashioned to start. Recommend this for a lovely evening watching boats and feeling the energy of the city!

This was a cute hidden gem! Yummy food and great views

We love sitting over looking the River watching the world go by. The food was great and the service was wonderful.

More quiet than you'd think but food was astounding and well worth the pricing.

The happy hour specials are where it’s at. Such great deals. We had a great time dinning in.

The outside patio was wonderful only thing was the train every 2-3 minutes kinda of loud the food and dessert was great.

Food was amazing with scenic views from the river. Staff very welcoming and tentative! Will go back again!

Sitting on the river was lovely but the music was way too loud. Excellent location, satisfactory service, decent food. I would consider dining here again but it would not be a first choice.

Had a great time here during a Friday happy hour. Great views on the river and wonderful service which is especially important with COVID. Also, food was top notch. The truffle fries and filet sliders were our favorites. Highly recommend Porter Kitchen and Deck!

Went to the upstairs spot called punch stand and it was awesome. Filet sliders were really good. Good view of the river and other buildings.

Great service and Covid precautions; AMAZING peanut butter Old Fashioneds. GREAT views.

Loved the ambiance right on the river. Our server was great and the food was wonderful. Had the burrata app, Parmesan truffle fries and scallops. Loved all of it! Would definitely go back for dinner or drinks.

Great food!! Everything was cooked perfectly

We put a note that it was a birthday and told the hostess. We were hoping they would do something special for our friend but there wasn’t even a mention of it by the staff.

Great outdoor experience on the lake with a cute aesthetic

Fast and friendly

Service was impeccable. We dined on the outdoor deck for lunch and enjoyed watching the boats go by. I had the steak frites and my wife had the chicken Cobb sale and both were excellent.

I was disappointed with this reservation because I had made it with the intention of eating at the Porter restaurant, next to the river in the dining area. However, the restaurant placed us upstairs, in the bar area in the restaurant "Punch Stand" where the atmosphere was much more of a loud bar scene rather than a formal dinner on the river.

Such a nice place to eat at. Food was great!

Very nice outdoor seating area along the river. The servers were nice and always on top of drinks and foods. The food was outstanding and fairly priced! Definitely will go back.

The only thing to note is that the L tracks are located very near by so there are trains constantly passing, which can be pretty noisy. I

I went to Porter two nights in a row for dinner. It has become my go-to! Excellent drinks, appetizers and meals as well as outstanding service. The music and vibe is top notch! Can't wait until it's warm outside and seating is available on the river!!!

It was great, turn out many events so quite busy

Great service, great food. Everything from the location to the recommendations were excellent. Not from Chicago but I’ll definitely be back just to come here.

Love Salads & truffle fries. Great view of river. One downside was our server told us next party was waiting for table after 45mins into our lunch. We were having business lunch so it was a bit awkward.

Due to traffic we were late but they had no problem getting us to the theatre on time. Food was delicious and great view.

Had a lovely Pre-Christmas get together with my coworkers at Porters. Conveniently located in the Loop with a beautiful river front view. Server was incredibly friendly and welcoming, drinks were on point and the Humus Dip was AMAZING! Definitely recommend.

Great service. Perfect for a holiday lunch.

Had a burger that was “award winning” yet I’m not aware which award it revived. Burger was not well cooked, bun was extra soggy and the fries tasted old.

My co-worker has a César salad that was pure lettuce with no other ingredients.

Nice place but terrible food.

Our server, Cole, was amazing!

Great service
Excellent good

Porter Kitchen and Deck was a very good place for our family lunch. The only real problem we encountered was the "roll call" for plates as they were delivered to the table. I was in the biz for many years, there are multiple ways of communicating which entrée goes to which guest, but somehow they didn't get that right. Otherwise, everything was top notch!

Friendly staff with a great atmosphere. Nice location : )
