    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.

    Food service is excellent. With a reservation, waiting is as expected. Menu has great choices from seafood to meats. 3 course menu for just about $50 is a great choice. Preference for me, blood orange King Salmon was excellent, cooked perfectly. Service is great! Creme Brulee is always good choice if you want dessert. Good place for big group or family dinner
