    Osso Buco
    Gareth B.

    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is small and very intimate. Perfect for a date[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

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

    I was really excited to try Porterhouse and thought our anniversary would be the perfect occasion. [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

    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
    Marlena W.

    My first time going to this little hidden gem and it was such a great experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I think it's really only known by the locals so it doesn't get crazy crowded unless it's the weekend.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The service was impeccable and the ambiance was perfect.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I highly recommend this quaint steakhouse and it's definitely going to be a frequented restaurant by me.

    Intimate and Welcoming Experience! I celebrated my 32nd birthday here with a small group. The hosts were not only friendly but also accommodating. The food was excellent! I could have asked for a better steak, or moment trying out a new restaurant on my birthday. I was appreciative for them being able to store my birthday cake, and serving it. El Segundo is one of my favorite cities, the locals are so nice and it's calm in the area. I hope you enjoy!

    Asparagus, potatoes, New York Wagyu (I don't remember the sauce but it was delicious!)
    Brianna C.

    My husband brought me here for my 35th birthday dinner. Very cozy and intimate as soon as we walked in. We were greeted and seated right away since he made reservations. The service overall was wonderful and our server made great recommendations and answered any questions we had (portion sizes, favorites). Started with some drinks, I just remember ordering paper plane second and my husband had the old fashion. Both drinks were yummy ! We started by sharing the oysters on the half shell. They were pretty good but I'd want to try a different appetizer next time. We ordered a Caesar salad and they split it for us and also ordered bread, both were really good. Shared the Wagyu 12oz New York, jumbo asparagus, and the mashed potatoes. He explained all of the sauces and the one we ended up choosing was soooo good but I don't think the steak NEEDED it. Dessert came as bread pudding for me and melon cheesecake for him. Overall, had a great night with great food and great company!

    We started off being the only table seated, but the restaurant quickly filled. It was a little loud with the interruptions from the party in the back, otherwise it was a nice quiet booth. Our server was helpful and patient while we decided our meal. It was uncommon that we were told that we had to order everything at once [apps, entrees, sides] per the chefs request. We ordered a bottle of French Bordeaux, a tomahawk to share, bleu cheese sauce, and a side of mushrooms as well. The wine was lovely and it was served by the waiter continuously (as it should be). We did notice we weren't offered to let our bottle breathe as the table behind us was, perhaps because the manager served their bottle and he specialized in wine. When our tomahawk came out, it was cooked beautifully as ordered. Though it wasn't the best cut we've had compared to other distributors. The bleu cheese sauce was the perfect companion to the beef. The mushrooms were not as great, the shallot was lost among the earthiness of the overall palette. My husband ended up dipping his in the sauce. We ended our meal with the butterscotch pot de crème and bread pudding. Both were fantastic, the pot de crème was the favorite. Unfortunately we didn't get photos of more than the steak because we were enjoying our meal.

    Great food and service. Food is cooked to perfection. Definitely going back on next business trip. Highly recommended this steak and bar.

    Is there a corkage fee?

    Corkage is $35, to be expected at a nice place like this!

    There is a free community parking lot across the street from the restaurant. My friend scored street parking in front of Porterhouse , 🎉!! I took a less than 10 minute Uber from the LAX Renaissance Hotel, so parking wasn't on the forefront of my…

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. The drinks were great too! I enjoyed the wine and champagne, which were smooth and not overly strong. A special shoutout to our server, Daniel, who did an amazing job taking care of our group. 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. Thankfully, they have fire pits and heat lamps that help keep everyone warm and comfortable. Overall, we had a wonderful time and I'd definitely come back to try more items on the menu.

The highlight of the night was definitely the drinks. We asked for something fun, and the manager surprised us with a couple of off-menu cocktails that were creative, delicious, and honestly the coolest drinks we've had in a while. They were pricey, but the presentation and quality made them worth trying. Unfortunately, the service took a turn after that. The manager disappeared for what I assume was a break, leaving a single server to cover the entire rooftop. We completely understand that things happen and it wasn't the server's fault, but we ended up waiting around an hour to an hour and a half without anyone checking on us. We wanted to order another round of drinks, but the server was constantly rushing past trying to keep up with everyone else. Eventually, we gave up, walked to the bar ourselves, paid our tab, and left. Flora has a great atmosphere, beautiful views, and some genuinely impressive cocktails. If they can improve the staffing during busy hours, this place would easily earn a higher rating from me.

    Think King Plus is just another hot pot restaurant? Think again…read more We started our meal outside on the patio with their bar menu, and it was the perfect way to kick off the night. The house poke salad, crispy pork gyoza, edamame, grilled jumbo scallop skewers, grilled shrimp skewers, and the Wagyu ribeye yakitori were all packed with incredible flavor. To drink, I had the refreshing Lychee Mocktail, and we also tried King Plus's five-sake flight, which is a great way to experience a variety of authentic Japanese sakes. Then we headed inside for the hot pot experience. We sampled four different broths--Kombu, Tonkotsu, Spicy Miso, and Sukiyaki--before cooking premium beef and fresh seafood right at our table. The Royal Seafood Set featured shrimp, Atlantic salmon, fresh scallops, fish balls, and the chef's curated seafood selection, while the Royal Beef Experience included ribeye, chuck roll, and beef belly. But the highlight for me was the Japanese A5 Miyazaki Wagyu. It was beautifully marbled, incredibly tender, and practically melted in my mouth after just a few seconds in the broth. We wrapped up the meal with a refreshing Yuzu Pop Sparkler, creamy matcha ice cream, and rich matcha cheesecake. If you're looking for more than just hot pot in Redondo Beach, King Plus Shabu Shabu is definitely a spot you have to try.

Every single dish that came out was super yummy, but the dish that blew mine and my husband's mind was that Branzino. Best Branzino we had ever tasted.
