   Visiting for a conference and wanted to eat on the river. The food was fantastic! Two picky eaters in my group cleaned their plates. Drinks were on point. Appetizers were unique and delicious. (Highly recommend the tater tots!) it was noisy but it did not diminish our experience. Highly recommend. Very pleasantly surprised to find this gem!

   Super location on the river with excellent views throughout. Cool seating with a variety of scenarios. Food was upscale and tasty. Our server, Seven, was an absolute joy. We were celebrating a birthday and it was great

   Our waitress, Seven, was extremely attentive and super friendly. The staff brought out our food, and cleared, super efficient and were also super friendly. Another server (Gavin) we’ve had stopped to talk and say hi. I’d recommend Porter to anyone looking for a good place for food, drinks and ambiance.

   Music was quite loud for dinner, felt like I was shouting over the table.

   We went on Valentine’s Day and it was wonderful! The food and service were excellent. It was so nice to be in a lovely hidden gem of a restaurant where we could take our time eating, drinking, talking and not be rushed at all.

   experience was pretty disappointing. server didn’t check on us after our food and drink were dropped off and then brought us the check as we were still eating our food, saying “here’s the check unless you wanted anything else I can add it.” I’ve never had a server at a nicer restaurant drop off my check before even checking on food, another drink, or dessert. Ricotta gnocchi was not good, chicken sandwich was pretty good, and drinks were okay. It was also my friend’s birthday and instead of even saying happy birthday or asking if we want dessert, they gave us a signed postcard from the staff with our check. Just really bizarre experience for a place with good reviews and for its location. Definitely won’t be going back.

    We spent an incredible New Year’s Eve at Porter. The service was great and the food was fantastic. We enjoyed the crab cakes, scallops, and the halibut. The desserts were also great; we loved the cheesecake and cream brûlée! We have been to the location prior and the experience and food are always great.
