Ever experience is absolutely amazing! Just went back for the second time for our anniversary. Making reservations was super easy, and I definitely recommend doing so. Service was phenomenal from the hostess to the waiter and every one else we encountered. Food? 100/10. The Thai brussel sprouts are soooo good, and every entry we’ve tried has been perfect. A great place on Main Street!

We’ve had the opportunity to dine in twice now. It’s been astounding on both visits. The ambiance and hospitality are top tier. The perfectly crafted cocktails paired with your appetizers to start off with are delicious. The main course never disappoints and there’s always something left to enjoy the next day.
Our service by Adam has always been exceptional, and he puts a smile on our faces every time. What an asset he is to your establishment. Cheers!

Excellent food and atmosphere. Wait staff was perfect. Great choice for the day after Christmas and to wind down after the holidays. We highly recommend Porter’s and can’t wait to go back. We’ve already made our next reservation!
