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.

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. The food here is great; every time we go here we enjoy it, the service, and the experience. I would recommend the 8oz Wagyu Flat-Iron Steak as it has a great mix of vegetables and steak, the steak was quite soft and has a great amount of flavor. This time we had a server named Jacob who was exceptional. He has a very sharp eye and always checked on us if the food was good, putting away any plates, etc. They are very polite and always engaged with our table and the others that he serves as I observed. I would definitely have this server in the future when dining here at this restaurant. This restaurant is a good fine dining place that is located in the South Charlotte / Waverly area. I would recommend it to anyone who goes here.

*Excellent for large groups!* We had a company dinner gathering here and this team did an awesome job serving us quickly. Between the drink orders to the food orders everything was delivered with excellence. For my meal I selected the steak and it was fantastic. Over all whether you are looking for something more intimate or looking for a great place to gather with a large group The Porters House has you covered!

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.

We were celebrating my sons high school graduation. From the moment we walked in the staff was amazing our services was amazing the food was amazing. I cant say enough what a great evening we had. To top off the celebration he got a brownie with ice cream.
