Good Steak Dinner - Porterhouse, San Mateo, CA

We went out to dinner on a Saturday night at Porterhouse. We enjoyed wine with dinner. For our starters we had their spianch salad and french onion soup. We enjoyed steak for dinner. For dessert, we loved their chocolate mousse. Service was very good.

Great Steak!

Went here last night with friends and had a great meal. Everyone shared small plates but I had the filet which was cooked perfectly. I highly recommend this place if you are in San Mateo. Service was spot on also.

Very good dry aged steak!

Very good dry aged steak! Cant fail the restaurant for their quality of meats, perfectly dry aged beef, offered in various traditional cuts. Unfortunately our new york strip came overcooked whilst all our friends had theirs cooked to perfection - thus no excellent rating this...time round. Great soufflés for desert!More

Best Aged Steaks

We arrived in time for Happy Hour and enjoyed perfectly made cocktails at $8 ea. Dinner of "Bone in Ribeye" was everything I had hoped it would be and a perfect Medium Rare. Service was impeccable with no hovering.

Superb steaks and lamb.

Superb steaks and lamb. Ate here in their private dining space last night. The restaurant is set back from the street and can be hard to miss but their steaks and wine menus are excellent. Prices mid to high but worth every cent.
