We were there to celebrate a birthday and the food was amazing and our server was great. The one issues i had and i have been going to this restaurant for over 10 years and this is the first time that i have ever had an issue. Other servers and busboys kept coming over to the table and wanted to take our plates. It was very annoying and we felt rushed. The once good thing is that i went and spoke to the manager and he was shocked and said he would talk with the staff and he did the right thing, I will not let this stop me from going back.

I love the Porterhouse, their steaks are delicious and cooked exactly the way I asked. I have been here many times and they have never disappointed. Every single dish I have tried has been cooked to perfection and very tasty. I love that they use premium quality ingredients. Their customer service is outstanding!!!. Though quite pricey, they are well worth the money.
