    This is hands down the best steakhouse in Southern California. We have been more than once and each time it was great. It is getting popular so make a reservation. This time we took my husband there for Father's Day. We got an early reservation so it was not crowded, but by the time we left it was full. Parking is easy on the street and for the most part free. This is a fine dining place so it is expensive and for 4 people we spent a little over $400.00--no alcohol. They have a beautiful full bar but we were not drinking. You can also go solo there and eat at the bar. The steaks here are the best as is all their food. They make their own rolls and they have an interesting vegan salad made with kale. Their coffee is just great. All of their sides are wonderful, but you must get their jumbo asparagus and their mashed potatoes. They also have great desserts, but add something chocolate please for those of us not fond of carmel or toffee. A must have is their starter crab cake. They have the best sauces for all their food and they are all made from scratch. The service is the best. You will want for nothing. They are so spot on and kind. The place is comfortable and spotless. It is a must try.

    Mashed Potatoes

    We visited Porterhouse while in LA for the weekend to see a concert. We are so glad we did! We were greeted with a smile by the hostess and promptly seated in a nice booth. Our waiter arrived moments later to kindly greet us. We looked over the drink menus and he took our orders. They cocktails came and they were amazing. We ordered the Caesar salads for an appetizer and they were some of the freshest we have ver had. The dressing was fresh and unique, making it better than most we have ever had. On to dinner, one filet and one New York. Both came out a little under cooked, but after letting them rest for a few minutes, all was great. The mashed potatoes are a 100% yes when choosing a side, they were incredible. We went with the chocolate peanut butter dessert and the cookie bar, both were fresh and a perfect end to the meal. The staff is amazing, from the hostess to all wait staff. They made a dinner into a special evening.

    Best happy hour menu, especially the $8 old fashioned. I've never eaten here because I can't get past the delicious drinks. Love the bar area and friendly staff.

    I organized a DineLA outing with some friends and was really excited to finally check out Porterhouse, but sadly, I can't say it lived up to the hype. Everything was overly salty--the butter for the bread, the mignonette sauce on the oyster, and the blue cheese puree for the wagyu carpaccio. Two of us upgraded to the ribeye, and unfortunately, neither steak was cooked correctly. Mine was way undercooked so I had to send it back. They recooked the same piece, but it came back drenched in sauce. I wish we had been asked if we wanted sauce with our steaks because I definitely would have requested it on the side. I was honestly shocked when my reheated steak came back covered in even more sauce. I didn't want to make a big stink about it, so I just ate a couple of bites. If I could make one recommendation, I'd say skip the upgrade. The filet mignon was actually good and cooked perfectly. On the plus side, the service was good, and the restaurant itself is small with a nice, intimate feel.

    Came here for Valentine's Day and it did not disappoint. My girlfriend and I ordered the Waygu Filet Mignon and the Osso Buco so we could split and have some of each. Both were extremely delicious. The Osso Buco is only a Valentine's Day dish but the Waygu Filet is a dish they have all the time. The Waygu mignon was my preferred. We both had the crab cake as the appetizer and it was phenomenal. Lastly I got the espresso cheesecake and the girl got salted caramel creame depot. Wow both were so delicious. I'd go back again. The atmosphere is small and very intimate. Perfect for a date

    We came for dine LA and our meal was amazing. The only bummer was the fact that the oysters came already dressed...not a fan of them being pre doused in sauce.

    I was really excited to try Porterhouse and thought our anniversary would be the perfect occasion. We arrived dressed up, expecting a more upscale atmosphere, but were a bit disappointed to find many patrons in sweats and T-shirts. The overall vibe was much more casual than anticipated. The food was fairly average. The bread was disappointing and tasted a bit stale. That said, I did enjoy the steak, crab cake, and the potatoes with bacon. The cocktails were also decent. Service was excellent and definitely added an extra star to the experience. I do love seeing so many new restaurants opening in El Segundo. Overall, Porterhouse is worth a try--just be sure to set your expectations accordingly.

    Salmon

    This review is way overdue. We visited Porterhouse on a Tuesday night. We shared a Caesar salad and each had the salmon. Everything was delicious and well prepared. The service was great, and street parking was convenient.

    Prime Ribeye
    Felicia C.

    Came here to celebrate my husband's work achievement. Got a reservation day of and went 2 hours after booking. We both got the Prime Ribeye and fries. Prime Ribeye - First bite and I was shook. I don't even crave steak like this, but it was cooked perfectly and sooo tender. Wish there was sauce that came with it, but you have to order it on the side. Definitely recommend getting sauce since this piece of meat is very fatty. Fries - This item is not on the menu but you can order it on the side. It was nothing special and honestly, the fries tasted overdone. They skimped out BAD on the portion. Overall, would definitely come here again for a nice dinner when I have $200 to spend LOL.

    Wagyu Filet
    Carl G.

    A hidden gem nestled in downtown El Segundo, Porterhouse is not only an amazing steakhouse, but an equally amazing tribute to a fallen hero Ron Porter. For starters, an Old Fashion with any one of their top shelf bourbons sets the mood, paired with the Elk Carpaccio which was simply mouth watering seasoned to perfection. Then the main course, I had the Wagyu Filet, my friend had the Wagyu New York Steak. Both were cooked med rare and served isolated on a warmed plate with a sprinkle of sea salt. Nothing else needed but we did order the Pan Roasted Mushrooms and Cheesy Potatoes sides which were great. Honestly, hands down the BEST filet and steak we've ever consumed. Excellent steaks, drinks, and service. Porterhouse will not disappoint. Thank you Ron for your service and thank you to your friends and family who came together to give us an amazing place to experience your legacy.

    Steak frites
    Lauretta N.

    We came here before going to Candy Cane Lane. I've been here for Dine LA and Happy Hour so I knew the prices would be comparable to all good steak houses. But I believe they have the best burgers in the South Bay. This time I tried their Thursday special which was steak frites(hanger steak and fries). It was nothing special and I should have ordered the burger. Service is fantastic.

    this has taken a look at the bar, a great selection of your spirits, and the bartender hooked up some hell of a good drinks two

    Let me first stat by saying if you're a firefighter a relative to a firefighter or someone inspiring to be a firefighter, you need to check this place out, dedicated to a Firefight from Riverside, California. Now let me go into the restaurant the food the service in the ambience two thumbs up five stars. Everything was so good. A big shout out to our server Maria who did an amazing job check out that ribeye. You will not be disappointed. I will definitely be going back again.

    Chopped Cobb salad

    My first time going to this little hidden gem and it was such a great experience. I think it's really only known by the locals so it doesn't get crazy crowded unless it's the weekend. I do still recommend making a reservation. The bar is so cute and has everything you could ask for and the wine selection is extensive. I had the porterhouse steak and had it cut and cooked medium rare. I can honestly say it was perfectly cooked it perfection and I'm picky when it comes to steak. The service was impeccable and the ambiance was perfect. I highly recommend this quaint steakhouse and it's definitely going to be a frequented restaurant by me.

We came here to celebrate my cousin's graduation after she became a doctor, and it was the perfect place for a special occasion. The food was delicious, rich, flavorful, and satisfying.

He was attentive, friendly, and always checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. One thing to keep in mind: it can get pretty windy up there since you're close to the airport, so bring a light jacket or dress accordingly.

Ambiance is nicely decorated, it's part of the hotel, so just walk right in, pass the lobby, take the elevator to the 6th floor and you are there. Parking is free and plenty of it outside, do not feel the need to pay. Service: Horrible, I would give her a zero if I could. We had the woman server, reddish hair, one who I thought would be seasoned. Oder took her about 8 minutes, she then walk away and not said why. It was apparent that there was an issue with the table. Drinks took about another 12 mins to arrive and when they did it would have been great if she had spilled them. Drinks were horrible. My rum and coke was served flat and warm. Ice was dirty, seemed like no preventative maintenance takes place. No napkins were served, and at no time did she stop by to check in on us. Bartenders... not presentable at all. I didn't know what I was looking at. There was no way for me to tell if he was a bartender, or anyone else making the drinks. He seemed hot and sweaty, completely off, and wearing some sort of white T-Shirt., again, you couldn't event tell that it was a bartender making that drink, the entire experience was horrible. The drinks were so bad that we took 2 sips and said it's time to go. Waitress came by, we checked out and she just stood there waiting for a tip. We felt forced to tip her, when in reality I wanted to say, please quit your job. Folks, if you are looking for a nice classy drink, or something made right, do your self a favor and go elsewhere. if you are staying there, either go to the lobby bar, or better yet, skip out and head to Manhattan beach. No one should pay over $50.00 for poorly made drinks, served on a dirty glass, warm and with less than mediocre service.
