    The reservation through open table was perfect. Seated quickly by a friend and professional staff. Our waitress was good, but a little hard to hear in a noisy environment. The food was very good, hot and tasty. We will be back.

    I met 3 friends for lunch. We shared 2 meatballs as an appetizer. They were fantastic and 2 meatballs were plenty for an appetizer. Our meal orders were all over the menu. All were delicious but the winner was the "Minute Chicken". We shared the Banana Pudding for dessert. There was plenty to share and was the best banana pudding that I have ever had. The place was packed on this Tuesday for lunch, but our server, Jessie, treated us as if we were the only table in the house. I can't wait to go back.

    My husband and I met friends for happy hour Monday, November 11 - Veteran's Day. It was a preplanned event so didn't think anything of the fact that it was Veteran's Day.. I'm a veteran along with one other at our table. For veterans, everything but liquor was on the house. I honestly had no idea. We all shared the Thai chili sausage and pineapple flatbread, chicken artichoke flatbread and wings. My husband thinks the wings are THE best. Our server was Elizabeth, who was awesome. We were finished by 6:00 pm and the place was PACKED. We frequent Porter Creek as our go to spot to meet friends. They have a great happy hour menu and the food NEVER disappoints. Thank you to Porter Creek for your generosity for Veteran's Day.
