Very nice atmosphere, not too loud, great view. My server Gavin was incredible. Tip him well if you visit! Made great recommendations and offered advice on the menu. Reasonable prices. All around excellent experience.

We attended the recent wine dinner for Chicago Restaurant Week - it was fab! The wine/food pairings were right on and having the master sommelier on hand to do narration was a great addition to the evening.

I've been here several times before and the food was delicious but this time around we felt rushed and the food wasn't so good ! Our hostess was amazing so that definitely made up for the food and being rushed due to a private event for the day. Not sure if we will be back.

Better than I expected, the setting is awesome as you look out on the river. The menu was spot on for a simple business lunch. The clients had never been to the restaurant and all commented they'd be back! Service was excellent. Definitely atop my list for next business lunch in the loop!

Great lunch location for a good meal and the environment encourages conversation. Service was great and waiter recommended some of her favorite bites that did not disappoint.

Great view, service, and food. I apologize for not noting the server's name. She was attentive but not too much, and very knowledgeable and helpful with suggestions. Lovely room. Can't beat a river view, even in winter. Well worth a visit

Porter is a go-to since I work in the area and my firm has had several holiday parties there. I had friends visiting from out of town who were meeting me for lunch and thought this would be a perfect spot to enjoy a festive holiday lunch. We got a lovely spot by the window and we all enjoyed the food and friendly service from our waiter Gavin.

Waitress was unnecessarily curt, verging on rude. If it had been my first visit to the restaurant, it would have probably been my last. I will chalk it up to to busy night

Incredible food and drinks! GET THE CRISPY SHRIMP!! It’s award winning and totally worth it to stop by JUST for the shrimp. 🍤 looks spicy, IS NOT SPICY though. So good.

We recently hosted our wedding rehearsal dinner atPorter, and it exceeded every expectation we had. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome and completely taken care of.

The private dining space was beautiful—intimate, stylish, and perfectly arranged for our group, plus the view of the river was gorgeous. The food was absolutely outstanding. The food was beautifully presented and incredibly flavorful. Our guests particularly enjoyed the pita & hummus and the salmon. The cocktails were excellent, and we loved all of the different options the bar had on offer!

Service was truly exceptional. Drinks arrived quickly, plates were cleared discreetly, and the meal's pacing felt natural and well-timed. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue to kick off our wedding weekend.

Highly recommend for any event—or even just a great night out.
