Porter Kitchen & Deck

It was honestly the best experience I've ever had at a restaurant. The view by the lake was beautiful! Food and service was great!! Will definitely come back.

Our server Kennedy was amazing! Ambiance was great, cocktails strong, large portions and delicious. I'd def come back next time I'm in the city

We sat outside and the view is beautiful. It's obviously windy so don't sit out if you'll be bothered. Our server was very kind and quick to answer any questions we had. The food was pretty good overall. The salad was meh. It was wilted lettuce and the caesar dressing didn't taste well. The lobster roll, pesto pasta, and fillet sliders were all really good. Overall I would give it an 8/10.

Had a work happy hour and followed with a team dinner. The whole experience was great. Good drinks and food and the service for both was excellent.

Was anticipating this spot and it was decent. Bummed out they didn't have the pull apart bread or ribeye. The service was nice, the ambience was relaxing despite the party of 6+ people being obnoxious and loud. I'd have to try it again.

Great food and service. Everyone was happy with their order and we all had a great view of the river.

We had a special occasion, a bride. I asked for special request of a note stating congratulations at our table? To our disappointment it was not acknowledged. We had an app that came out with burnt toast , but otherwise it was fine. The scenery was fantastic & our waitress was attentive.

Great service!

The place is great for parties of 4 or more. Two people get seated at strangely placed tables. It was raining, so maybe we would have been seated outside if it was nice. The oddest part was how the server treated us. They were nice, but they didn't ask if we wanted another drink or a dessert. After our meal, they just pointed to the QR code for us to pay. We were there for 2 hours, with the second hour of us just sitting there. Not all of the tables were filled, so it wasn't like they were trying to kick us out. They were kind, just not very attentive. The food was good to great.

This establishment boasts an exceptional view of the Chicago River. I had the pleasure of dining here to celebrate a birthday and was thoroughly impressed with the overall experience.
Our server was highly attentive, ensuring every detail was addressed. The happy hour from 3–6 PM was an added delight.
I ordered an Old Fashioned, which was expertly crafted, and the ribeye, which was remarkably juicy and tender. The crispy shrimp was equally outstanding and among my top recommendations. I look forward to returning for more.
