My wife and I recently tried The Porter's House for our anniversary. The atmosphere was nice until the bar filled up with very loud clientele... it was about 7pm on a Saturday the bar became packed. The bar is not isolated from main area of the restaurant so the sound easily spilled over into the dining area where one almost had to yell to communicate with others at the table. Our scallop appetizer was not properly cooked but our steaks were excellent. If you are looking to spend $200+ on a nice dinner but have the atmosphere of Bradshaw's on football Sunday then I would say this is your place. By the way, I love a party... but not when you are seeking a high end, intimate dinner.
