    Ren was a fantastic server last night. We were celebrating my husbands birthday and the overall experience was perfect. Thank you to Ren, The Kitchen and the Bartenders. Street Pasta was excellent Penne Toscana was Fabulous as were the Spaghetti with Meatballs and finally the terrific Pepperoni Flatbread. All items were served Hot and were plated beautifully. Carrot Cake is a MUST for sharing after dinner. Chianti Grill has never disappointed. Consistently great and the cozy fireplaces make the ambiance during fall and winter charming and romantic.

    Kincaid's did a great job. Server appeared to be new (at least I had not seen him before). He was a bit slow and needed prompts(from me) on specials, etc. Overall - great job. And Steve - thank you for coming by and 'formally' introducing yourself.

    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.
