    Double celebration of Christmas Day and birthday dinner. We wanted a good beef dinner for Christmas Day and Porterhouse did not disappoint. Greeted warmly by the hostess. Ambiance was nice and cozy in the little alcove. Bruno came by to say “hello” to our birthday girl. Her family are frequent diners of Porterhouse. Food, wine and beer selections were great. Service by Kayla during our dinner was superb. We very much enjoyed our filet mignon, porterhouse and prime rib! Will be back when we want an excellent quality beef dinner.

    This was our final full day at Hotel Spero, and it was also our final morning at Jasper's. The morning staff has been awesome to us ever since we first stepped foot into Jasper's. That said, 11.18 is also Natasha's birthday, and they were sure to make it extra special by starting us off on the right foot. We appreciate you VERY much, and we look forward to seeing all of you again soon!
