   Great food and 1/2 price wine. Nelson, Ellis and Brendon are the best!

   We waited 15 minutes for our waitress to grab is drinks, eventually we just went to the hostess to ask for a waitress. Once we were helped I ordered a glass of prosecco, which was flat, they tried to make up for it with a free dessert, but for $250 I would have preferred good service a good drink.

   Great experience! Quick service with devoted server. He knew everything about the menu and was very attentive. Food was amazing! Filet cooked to perfection, veggies excellent. Bf said short ribs were the best!! We are super picky and didn’t expect much….awesome place! Will be back for sure

   Cocktails were fantastic, we had the mussels and cheese beignets for apps which were fantastic. Unfortunately my wife thought the mahi was under seasoned and fell a little flat. I too was a tad disappointed in my $65 Ribeye - it wasn't bad, but I've had better steaks at lower price points elsewhere in the QC.

   The calamari, though nicely cooked, was a bit too large and chewy in spots. The mahi mahi was nice but the crust on the top was a bit offputting. The creme brulet custard was runny as if not completely set. On the other hand, my wife's filet was perfectly cooked.

    Honestly, my expectations for the Queen City and their restaurants have been somewhat low. The Porter's House....hmmmmm we pass thru this area often with our Son and his sports. I would never have known a gem was kept back there had it not beem for Sullivan Steakhouse cancelling our reservation 4 days prior to my Wife's 40th BDay. Renovations was the reason given to me, but whatever. I had been looking at this Gem for a while now, but never dug in. No expectation had going in, but was AMAZED by how dope they were.

    Steak was under seasoned. Calamari lacked specialty flavor. It's taste like a dish I could have gotten from a Chinese restaurant. Potatoes were amazing. Asparagus were under cooked. Drinks were great. Cake was bland.

    Monthly Family celebration of Gods Goodness with the wife & kids. Went on a Saturday evening after 8pm. Was definitely loud with energetic guests. Service seemed like a mixture of new people with experienced. Our server was nice but seemed stretched thin at times. Other bus boys were very attentive. Food was fantastic. My lady actually said it was the best calamari she’s ever had. (She ate it too fast to get a photo) We even stuck around for dessert. Overall it was a very pleasant experience. Next time I’ll take better photos. ;)

    Arrived 5 mins before my 9pm reservation time and was told it would be a 15 minute wait and they would text me when our table was ready. 45 minutes later we walk back in with the intention of canceling only to be told "oh I have a table that we can sit the two of you right away. My food was very well prepared however my wife ordered a medium well steak that was over cooked and tough they did well with getting a new properly prepared steak back out to us in a timely manner. Overall experience was favorable.

    Over rated maybe because I went on Valentine’s Day but the food was just okay to me. I certainly feel I could have gotten more bang for my buck elsewhere

    Service was good, Food was good , but not great for the price. Appetizers was good Salads were a big disappointment Entree was good but no more than upscale steak house Dessert was average The drinks were on point. The location was convenient and the valet was on point They took advantage of the Valentine Day Occasion to up price their normal menu offerings The same meal would have cost around $20 less per person than the Valentines Day menu

    OUTSTANDING! The steaks were better than Ruth Chris steakhouse. One of the 6 persons in our party struggled to get her Filet mingon at the correct level to where she could eat it, it was very red and very bloody and she sent it back twice. We were all rather embarrassed about it (for her and the chef). Overall very impressed with the meal and all that we encountered.

    Fabulous Valentine's dinner with my wife. Food and service were excellent. Parking assistants and Hostesses were also excellent. Everyone was friendly and efficient. The only complaint was that the restaraunt's wifi service did not have internet service while we were there.

    Entree's and desserts were great, but pita bread with the crab dip appetizer was chewy and hard. Waiter was servicing too many tables at once and didn't check in after often. Otherwise, this would have been a 5 star experience.

    The service was horrible it’s no way around it that. We put our food order in with our drinks at the same time and it took and hour and 30 mins for it to come out. We had to continues ask for refills while waiting on our order. The waiter showed no sense of urgency and barley check on our party of 6. I would not recommend if you are big on service

    NOT a good place for a date night on Saturday night. My wife & I were really looking forward to having a nice & quiet dinner without the kids. We made reservations weeks in advance for Valentines weekend. When we arrived we were surprised at the noise level- you could hardly talk it was so loud. We immediately noticed really large parties of 10 or more people & very few couples. The number of children was overwhelming- reminiscent of a McDonalds playground. We were seated near 2 large tables with little to no adult supervision. Additionally the restaurant packed tables such you are right on top of your neighbor. After 20 minutes of being seated no one had even greeted us or took a drink order. Multiple waiters kept walking pass focused on the large tables & neglecting ours even after multiple attempts to get their attention. Surprisingly the staffing numbers appeared more than adequate. I had to go back to the host to request service. Finally a waitress from another area arrived & she was great. Eventually the manager arrived & apologized & gave us a discount. The food was good. If you are looking for a very expensive restaurant to take your kids go here! Otherwise don’t bother.
