Okay speaking of food- everything was so yummy. We had bacon wrapped stuffed dates, black and blue pizza (v rich) and arugula beet salad. It was delicious. We sat out on the back patio which was quieter than front but really either would be good. Although we walked through the main area I didn't really get a good idea of the vibe.

Gruv Bistro was our next stop, and they got us in on the back patio and the hostess and waitress so good knowing we had a time limit. The space is small with little off shoot rooms and really cute. Everyone we spoke with was very nice! My cocktail of choice, Smoke de Agave, a tequila drink of course. I really liked it. I had the prime rib sandwich with a side of brussels sprouts. Both were very good! Loved the ciabatta bread and the prime rib, arugula is always good! The Brussels were good, too. Would very much come back next time we make a visit!

We sat on the patio and started with a bottle of wine and the bruschetta app. With so many meat & cheese options, we couldn't all agree on charcuterie to split, so we all ended up getting our own personal Pick 2 boards. I went with the red dragon mustard cheddar and cotswold with Genoa and peppered salames. The board is served with crackers, olives, dried fruit, a nuts, and dark chocolate and I ate every morsel! We also got the chocolate salame dessert which is a sliced chocolate roll with pistachios and was DELICIOUS. The seating outside was nice but a bit loud from street traffic. I didn't make my way inside, but am looking forward to checking it out next time. Service was pretty attentive considering we were outside and it was a pretty busy evening. I will definitely be back to explore more of this menu!!

I am so dang sad. This place is not what it used to be. The food has changed a lot. The cheese dip…read moreserved with the Bretzels seemed like it was definitely the Tostitos cheese dip in a jar, but warmed up. The toasted ravioli were the worst of my life which is so confusing like how is it possible to make fried food taste bad? I've had better from the freezer isle. My sister ordered the Mediterranean flatbread and it was weird. Didn't seem to truly be Mediterranean inspired and everyone who tried it disliked it. This place used to be packed and it was mostly empty. The strawberry sangria was SO watered down. I had 3 and didn't feel like I consumed any alcohol & certainly couldn't taste any. It was like watered down strawberry juice. The employees were nice, but they don't check on you at the table. You have to bring your cups and dishes back to the bar when you're done. I just don't know if this place will survive if they don't make some huge changes. My family and I used to love coming here, but the ambiance, food and drink offerings, and service is poor. Breaks my heart to see this place go downhill.

This was our second time coming here, we were celebrating our 10th anniversary…read more We love the beautiful building and bar area, and think it's very pretty inside. The acoustics make it kinda hard to hear what the person across from you is saying, and the wooden chairs are not comfortable at all. Our server was a very bubbly young lady named Emma, who did a great job taking care of us. I had two glasses of wine and we ordered the brussel sprouts appetizer, a house salad each, and we both had the filet entree. I loved it all, but my husband thought there was too much sauce on the sprouts and wasn't crazy about the salad. He loved the entree though. We got the tiramisu for dessert, and took it home with us. The portions are big, so we had some sprouts and I had some steak leftover. I'm looking forward to having it for dinner again tonight!! We will definitely be back. I love that it's in town, and the food is delicious. It's pricey but worth it, especially when you're celebrating something.

They put a lot of effort in making this an upscale restaurant. Customer service was exceptional. Grace was our server. She checked on us all night. She made our experience one of the best we have had. The assistant server kept our drinks full. Grace went over the specials and the vegetable of the dau. She even brought us a complimentary cake for our anniversary. The food was great. For starters we got the pepperoni bruschetta. It was delicious. The presentation was amazing. The steak was very tender. I got the Porter's signature grill pepperloin and baked potato. It came with their signature mustard sauce on the side. The steak was so tender that I cut it with the fork. I didn't know what to expect but everything was excellent. She got chicken marsala over whipped potatoes and green beans. She loved it. We got the 7 layers chocolate cake and cheesecake.

I sent them back to kitchen to be cooked more. However, when they came back to my table, they were hard as could be, they had a glaze on them, but, again, Very hard to eat, and I did not eat them.

We arrived right on time for our reservation, stood for quite a few minutes in a half-empty house before being seated, then waited a very long time between visits from our apparently over-stretched waitstaff. The first cocktail I chose wasn't available; nor was the first entree. I settled on the "red wine flight", and it arrived in three glasses. The server recited their names, but I didn't catch them. Food was middle of the road. A smoked sirloin sandwich was tasty, though rather well-done. And the order of "salmon cakes", which the menu says is made of "smoked salmon, roast corn, tomato, cucumber, creme fraiche, and capers" was in fact just one cake (not cakes!), smaller than a hockey puck (about 1/2" thick max) and seemed to be made of canned fish, not the bright orange of smoked salmon. It was accompanied by five thin slices of cucumber and three or four halved grape tomatoes. No corn, no capers. It was so boring, and an overpriced disappointment at $23. If this Bridge is actually closing and focusing on the event space, they've gone out with a whimper. And if they're actually continuing service, I hope they get the food a little closer to the menu descriptions. Our drinks and water glasses were empty for long stretches. Our server was very pleasant and polite, but must've had way too much to do.
