Good service could be better was a little slow but the food was really good, would still go back. Hostess was very slow we stood at the front for about 5 minutes until someone came over to help.

We went to celebrate a milestone (retirement). It was on the Open Table remarks but none was even acknowledged by our server or any personnel of the restaurant. It was a busy Saturday night and I think they were understaffed. We all ordered different type of meats: Porterhouse, Ribeye and NY Cut.

Amazing experience!! My nephew and I always go to Izzy's in San Carlos for special occasions. Sad to say Izzy's has closed.We needed to find a new special restaurant for our celebrations. Porterhouse has become that special place. The special treatment, fantastic food and amazing service. Close parking just made it better. We had a wonderful time - a 19 yrs old nephew and a late 60's aunt - so hard to please both generations.
