| - We tried The Porter's House for a celebratory dinner this evening. The ambience and decor were great. Our server was pleasant. We ordered the calamari appetizer Android went downhill from there. Even my Arnold Palmer was terrible, basically colored water! I had a the KC strip, the flavor was great but there was SO much gristle, my daughter ordered the 6 oz filet MW, they said it had to be butterflied or it would take too long to come out, my husband ordered the salmon and specifies well done, we ordered 2 sides, gratin potatoes and Yukon mashed potatoes. My daughter's steak was severely overdone and my husband's was equally underdone. Thankfully someone who we believe was the manager came by our table and we reported the issues- he took both plates, leaving me to eat our celebratory dinner ALONE. About 10 minutes later, when I was finished, they brought the replacement dinners. I did expect that a manager would have expected the kitchen to know how to cook a 6 oz filet MW properly without having to butterfly it! Yet, that was sadly not the case. Both meals were properly cooked the 2nd time around but again they ate alone. Eating separately completely killed our celebration and although we had planned to have dessert and after dinner drinks, we left immediately after dinner. Such a let down. Even more so because they still charged us full price for meals eaten separately and cooked improperly. Talk about cheap at a so called fine dining steakhouse! We will not be back.
