    Double celebration of Christmas Day and birthday dinner. We wanted a good beef dinner for Christmas Day and Porterhouse did not disappoint. Greeted warmly by the hostess. Ambiance was nice and cozy in the little alcove. Bruno came by to say “hello” to our birthday girl. Her family are frequent diners of Porterhouse. Food, wine and beer selections were great. Service by Kayla during our dinner was superb. We very much enjoyed our filet mignon, porterhouse and prime rib! Will be back when we want an excellent quality beef dinner.

    Andiamo in banca has become a part of our Christmas tradition for the past three years and each year we fall more and more in love with the place. This year in particular, the food was even better than it always has been. The staff is genuinely friendly and attentive. When you walk in you are greeted with a friendly smile and immediately made to feel comfortable. We are looking forward to next year already. Thank you for making our holiday so special and delicious

    Lunch after a matinee is one of our Holiday traditions- this year it was just perfect. The restaurant was packed with diners waiting for tables lined up at the bar, so thank goodness we had a reservation (on a Monday at 3:00PM- who knew?). Once past that minor inconvenience, everything was absolutely wonderful. We shared the Tortelloni appetizer and even though I am an accomplished Italian home cook, it was the best we have ever had. Then we shared the Jack LaLane salad - partly because we grew up with him on TV and the nostalgia was undeniable- and it was perfect. It had a respectable amount of seafood and avocado and was very large. My husband said his Manhatten was excellent. We left vowing to come back soon and often.
