Like any and all Rare Roots restaurant we visit this was five stars all around. We love to go out for a fancy dinner for occasions but hate when the food falls short of the price…that’s never a concern with Rare Roots and proven true again at The Porter House, from hostess to John Dresslers himself, the service and atmosphere is a family experience that can’t be replicated. The food, we had the pimento cheese beignets and they were excellent, I would say they are more of a fritter but the flavor was fantastic! My wife and I shared the shared porter House Steak which was cooked perfectly and the paired sauces were outstanding. I saw other reviews about a lack of seasoning but in my experience nothing beats a good salt and peppering on a fine steak and that’s what you find here, the tender velvet feel of the steak is in my opinion how you know a steak is good. Finish off with any of “Mom’s” desserts and your night is complete! Loved it!

Food was good, well seasoned and plated beautifully! Scored down for 2 reasons, appetizers were like warm when we got them and there was way too much time in between courses.

A nice restaurant that is close by to where I live. I really enjoy the low light atmosphere and the decor that is here. The music that plays is subtle and does not take away from the eating experience.

This place was fantastic. Our server Chris may be the best server I’ve ever had anywhere. Very friendly, everything was perfect and timely. The food is outstanding. The filet with herb butter and the peanut butter chocolate chip cheesecake in particular were incredible. My new favorite restaurant.

The food was amazing but the service was lackluster at best. We sat at the bar and Lindsey (who was working the well) ignored us for the entire time. I have worked in upscale restaurants for years and have never seen anything like it. She would talk to regulars around us but I sat with an empty drink for long periods of time and she never made eye contact or tried to talk to us. We finally decided to interrupt and ask her to order our dessert as we sat there waiting for over 15 minutes to be acknowledged and the other bartender was way busier. Now during this time she just chatted with staff, regulars and and focused on only two tickets in the well, so when she was dismissive and did not know what they had for dessert I decided I had to write a review. The sad part is we were honoring the passing of a dear friend that we worked in restaurants with for years. We had every intention of over tipping and spending way more than we did. What a loss.

The Porter’s House is a very delicious restaurant and we’ve been multiple times. The menu is small but the food is generally executed well. Good size portions, however it is very pricey. The atmosphere is that of most upscale steakhouses; Low lights, calm music and attentive staff. The cocktail menu is impressive. The wine flights are a really cool concept. The restaurant also features some really cool events. We’ve done a private Bourbon tasting here before and really enjoyed the experience. So why 4-stars instead of 5? We realized halfway through our meal every other table was being brought complimentary bread. We however were never offered this. The braised short rib was tasty however its a favorite we order often and expect it to be fall off the bone soft. For us, excuse the pun but the short rib fell…short.
