    Great food and excellent service. The table was a little cramped but overall was fine. Heather was our waitress and was exceptionally wonderful. All the runners and service staff were awesome too. Food was really delicious. Highly recommend Porters for a nice casual dinner atmosphere with yummy food.

    The food and service were outstanding! You can get lost in all of the wonderful offerings in their store. Such a great idea to eat in such a lovely ambiance. Our food was beautifully plated and delicious. We opted to eat half our servings in order to try some of their desserts! We were not disappointed! And we got our leftovers packed away to eat later. This was a beautiful experience from start to finish... We will be back soon!

    This was our first time visiting Prime for my wife’s birthday and honestly we had a fantastic experience. As a “chef” by trade and being in the culinary industry for close to 15 years, i haven’t been that happy with spending what i did on food in a long time. My wife order the New York Strip med rare with a side of Mac and Cheese. The age on it was great. Not to nutty and funky that it’s a turn off for the majority of people, but not so mild that I questioned if it was actually aged. The Mac was perfect. I could eat it every day. I ordered the Half Chicken to try something different than I normally do. Hands down, best chicken and grits I have ever had from a restaurant. The Chicken was perfectly cooked yet the skin was just ever so perfectly golden and crisp, not charred like most places would make it. I suspect it’s a salt cure with some weight on it, but regardless how it’s done it’s amazing. I can’t wait to come back again!

    I brought my long time friend here for a Galentine's dinner and it was perfect! We had a chance to really chat & catch up in a private but very fun space. The servers were lovely and more than happy to accomodate our "in no rush" timeline (on a Tuesday if course). It was the perfect spot for a cute dinner night out! Food was great, Italian is NOT her first choice but she loved it!
