Ate at the Porter's House this week for the first time. Service was really good.
Some folks have commented on the cocktails being good and they definitely have a nice selection spirits, nice bar area. I plan to make a stop soon just to sit at the bar and have a drink.
I ordered the Rare Rare Old Fashioned and I was a good drink. Large wine selection for my wife.
We Started our meal with the shrimp cocktail (very good - nice horseradish cocktail sauce. Shrimp could be a little bigger but overall a nice shrimp cocktail), and the scallop app (cooked really well with good crispy finish on the outside).
We split a Caesar salad, nice salad but just your standard Caesar.
Entries were the trout (nice quantity, cooked perfectly, lintels and green beans complimented the trout very well), and the small filet (cooked perfectly medium rare with good flavor).
Overall a nice solid place, some nice options on the menu that you don't see everyday. Went on a Thursday evening and really enjoyed date night with my wife. Background noise was light so we felt like we could talk and enjoy our time without feeling crowded.
Looking at other reviews some folks have said for the price they would rather go to Del Friscos - I eat at Del Frisco's from time to time and yes they are hard to beat but a night out at Porter's House is about half of what you would pay at Del Frisco's so for the money I think PH does a pretty good job and I'm not sure comparing the two is really a fair comparison. Would go back to PH again.
