We had dinner at Porterhouse this past Friday evening, and I must say I was unimpressed. For a steakhouse that charges as much as they do, I expected quite a bit more. When we arrived we were greeted at the host stand and taken to our table right away. Since this was an early dinner (5:30) this was as expected,... More 

Excellent cuts of dry, aged beef that you can see as you walk in. Great place on peninsula to get high quality steak.

We had a group of ten for a party and it was our first time there. A bit pricey but food and service were both great. Several different meals and everyone thought they were delicious. Will go back. Would give it 4.5 of 5 if available.

A nice surprise. Not very busy as a very heavy rain. Daughters took me for birthday. Staff & owners very nice people. Food was very good. A little pricey but was worth it..

I also ordered a Bleu Cheese Salad, a Cosmopolitan from the bar and at the end of dinner...Bread Pudding to go. Porterhouse is expensive but definitely worth it. The... More
