We arrived when they opened for dinner to celebrate a birthday and were excited to try the Tuesday night feature (grilled pork chop). We were notified shortly after being seated at 5:30 that there was no pork chop available, which was disappointing because we arranged the dinner on a Tuesday so that we could order the special. We ended up ordering the duck breast and sea bass, and both were very good. The chef sent us a cheesy potato dish to make up for not having the special, which was very thoughtful. We also greatly enjoyed the complimentary birthday treat at the end of the meal, and the candle was a nice touch! Our server, Stephanie, was excellent--even better than the server we had at our last visit to the restaurant. She was very warm, friendly, and attentive, and had a great smile! She provided the type of service you'd expect during a fine dining experience. Overall it was a great dinner and it's nice to see a classy steakhouse in downtown El Segundo! read more

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.

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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

Came here to celebrate my daughter's birthday, very nice and attentive service. The food was great, everything was cooked to perfection especially the the 35oz porterhouse.

We couldn't have chosen a better place to celebrate our friend's birthday. The restaurant is warm and inviting, but what truly sets it apart is the team. We were greeted with genuine care by the hostess, and Kyle, who looked after us throughout the evening, was exceptional: attentive, knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely thoughtful. The food was outstanding from appetizers to desserts. I hadn't enjoyed a steak this much (I order it bleu) since my last visit to Mastro's, but this one surpassed it and is easily my new favorite. The béarnaise sauce was perfectly executed. Thank you as well for all the thoughtful touches that made our celebration feel so special. Team Porterhouse, you are truly one of a kind. read more

Bathed in shadows and steeped in reverence, this place hums with a quiet kind of power. A tribute to a fallen firefighter lends to its soul, while the dim, smoldering ambiance makes it perfect for whispered conversations and slow-burning glances. The air is thick with the intoxicating scent of seared steak, aged leather, top-shelf bourbon, and just a whisper of smoke. It's the kind of joint where you half-expect the city's brass to slip in after a long day of navigating the political firestorm--jackets loosened, stories poured neat. The bartender--an arresting dirty blonde with a sly, girlish smile--had the kind of presence that made time slow down. Ink traced her skin in confident strokes, a story half-told, and I found myself anchored to every word she offered. Her ponytail was effortlessly sharp, her neckline dangerously elegant, like she knew exactly what effect she had and wielded it with grace. When I asked if she could twist an Old Fashioned with mezcal, she didn't blink--just nodded with a knowing smirk. "Oaxacan Old Fashioned," she said. Of course she knew. Of course she did. I know I'll be back--soon. I'm just not sure what I'll be chasing when I do. Maybe clarity. Maybe chaos. All I know is, I'll find my place at the bar, where the lighting flatters the unknown and the air hangs heavy with promise. I'll order a meal--not out of hunger, but to stretch time, to linger, to let every bite hold me in this moment just a little longer. read more

Very good, I almost feel bad giving it 4 instead of 5 stars but there are some steakhouses in the country that really stand alone so reserve the 5 star for them. But the ambiance here in downtown El Segundo is great, service is top notch and they have prime and Wagyu choices. Plus the bartender is very good and they specialize in my favorite - bourbons. Terrific old fashioned. And the prices weren't outrageous, pretty take for the LA read more

EVERYTHING was delicious! Service was exceptional, and the overall experience was five star! Definitely will be back 100%!

Stopped by last night for the DineLA promo. Upset that I haven't been here sooner! The food was great, the service is amazing! Counting the days until I return. Erin was my server, very knowledgeable of the menu with great recommendations! The shrimp cocktail was probably the best I ever had, "colossal" as an understatement, they were massive, with great flavors! The steak tartare was delicious, make sure you ask for extra crostini's as the tartare portion is grand. The filet mignon was cooked to perfection! All in all, will definitely be returning, ASAP! Perfect for date night! read more

After we got our nails done we were hungryyyyy. So my boyfriend found this place on maps and it wasn't that far from where we were at. A little windy but it was still warm. Came in 20 mins early which kitchen didn't open until 5 but we sat at the bar and waiting. Waiter was amazing ever attentive with us. Once the kitchen opened we ordered the spicy oysters and bread and let's say 10 out of 10! Our food was so good I end up taking mines to go. So damn delicious. The vibe here is very lowkey. Very nice for a date night or first day. Waiter name is Mikayla ! Please tell her she's amazing and give her a manager job or something. So well detailed with the menu and her overall aura is so bright! Definitely will come back just to see her read more

Service, cocktails, and ambiance 5/5 Food 3/5 I highly recommend the Live Wire, as it was phenomenal. The Black Manhattan was wonderful as well and perfect for small sips. For dinner, we shared the ribeye with broccolini, mashed potatoes, and bread. The only dish worth raving about was the broccolini. The sauce was addicting, and we ended up dabbing some on the rest of our food to give it flavor. Everything else was underwhelming. The mashed potatoes were really salty, and I didn't like the seasoning on my steak because it overpowered the meat flavor. For dessert, we ordered the 100 Grand Bar, and it was absolutely divine! Highly recommend saving room for it. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience. I felt a bit of diner's remorse for ordering a $70 ribeye that was mediocre at best, but there were enough bright spots to warrant 4 stars. If I ever return, I'm having the wagyu burger. It looked delicious and seemed to be popular with the crowd. read more

Porterhouse Steak - Outstanding First Experience! This was my first time at Porterhouse Steak, and let me just say...WOW! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was beautiful, warm, and inviting. Everyone was extremely welcoming, professional, and genuinely pleasant, which made the entire experience feel special. The owner, Alex, happened to be seated right next to us, and he was incredibly kind. He even offered us a taste of his steak and OMG, it literally melted in my mouth! The flavor, the tenderness, everything was perfect. The cheesy potatoes were just as amazing...creamy, rich, and bursting with flavor. We ordered the sea bass and the crab soup, and both were out of this world. The sea bass was perfectly cooked and seasoned, and the crab soup was full of flavor with the right amount of richness. To top it off, they surprised us with a free dessert..a bread pudding cake that was unbelievably good. Moist, warm, and full of flavor. Such a thoughtful and delicious gesture! Overall, Porterhouse Steak gave us an exceptional dining experience from start to finish. Amazing food, wonderful staff, a beautiful setting, and an owner who truly cares about his guests. We will definitely be back! Highly recommended! read more

I have been to Porterhouse twice now and both times have been fantastic! I really love the energy here. It's less fufu and more hip than your average steak house. The service is elevated and the food is really special which makes you really feel you got your value. The bartenders here are top notch, you can get a real drink here made right, along with some fun non-alcoholic options. Our table waitress was super sweet and knowledgeable and the manager Richie stopped by to say hello. I was able to enjoy happy hour on my first visit and get out under $50, and when I came for a 3 course dinner it was surprisingly about $130 per person. It would probably be more if we indulged in wine but we we stuck to one cocktail each that night. Love it here. read more

New Year's Eve dinner. Reservations required. Full house, even early around 6pm. We used OpenTable a month or so ago and it worked flawlessly. Greeting quickly at the door, given the choice of two different tables and picked the one in the back room, close to the fire pit (was looking for a better word for this as it is a very nice fire display). Once seated, quickly approached about water or bottled water. Server approached very soon after. Full, standard menu on NYE, which is great. Some places take advantage of the holidays to force a prix fixe menu on you, not here - thank you. As the name would suggest, Porterhouse, this is a steakhouse. Even though, the restaurant was named in honor of a retired firefighter named Porter. Porter's House...Porterhouse. Very appropriate, both ways. Several other entrees available and all plated very professionally. When you walk in, it has a great vibe, especially on a busy night. Bar area was full and buzzing. Most tables and booths filled, perfectly dimly lit but bright enough to see where you are walking and your dining partner. We ordered the crab cake appetizer, salmon entree, Wagyu New York strip and the fingerling potatoes. Crab cake is full of crab, slightly over grilled which required a knife to cut a few areas, but very flavorful and great to share for two. Salmon entree came with a Thai salad on top that had a slight kick. Salmon was prepared perfectly and very much enjoyed by my wife. I had the NY strip. It was cooked exactly as ordered and enjoyable. Not quite as flavorful and tender as I hoped for a Wagyu. I'll pick a filet on my next visit. The fingerling potatoes were just okay. The top few were good with the bacon and the garnish. Once that was gone, the ones below needed more flavor. I wound up taking them home, rewarming them for lunch the next day and just added a little salt and sour cream on the side. Worked out great. Two slight disappointments. First, when you are paying over $60 each for a steak dinner, you should be offered bread for free. Even if you just bring out a bread bowl and let the diner select one each. Charging for bread in this type of establishment is very disappointing. Corkage fee - yes, I understand that they prefer to make money selling their own wines but $35 for corkage is a bit much. Just my two cents. Will we be back? Yes. Should you try? I'd say yes as well. Enjoy! read more

As someone who eats red meat infrequently, I didn't have high expectations going into the Porterhouse. I was blown away by the 18oz ribeye steak (ordered to be medium-well). Compared to generic steaks at other restaurants, this steak was tastefully charred, wonderfully tender, not too chewy, and well-flavored. We also ordered the fingerling potatoes and broccolini sides to add extra flavor to the meal. The atmosphere was nice to sit for an extended chat with my family, and the service was excellent. read more

Sweater Weather (3/5) - I'm a sucker for coffee-based drinks, so this was an obvious choice for me. It was flat and one-note. Tasted mostly like oat milk. Lamb cheek (4/5)- balance struck well between the fatty lamb cheek, the rich braising liquid, the brightness of the radish, and the bitterness of celery. The lamb cheek effortlessly pulls apart and melts in your mouth. Really smart to pair it with the crunchy pickled celery. Delicious dish, but lamb cheeks are small cuts - I question whether a single lamb cheek should be considered a sufficient portion for a shareable starter. Crispy Skin Duck Breast (3/5)- Unfortunately, the cook on my duck was under. The center slice of the breast was borderline raw and chewy to oblivion. The skin also wasn't crispy. Despite that, I'm giving the dish 3/5 because that mole sauce was amazing. Rich, dark, earthy mole paired with the plantains (buried under a fistful of cilantro for some reason?). Despite the cook on the duck, I applaud the chef's creativity to pair duck and mole, and their decision to include it on the menu. Loved the concept of the dish, just missed on execution. 8oz Wagyu filet mignon (5/5)- it's a wagyu filet, you know what you're getting. Requested medium rare, and got medium rare. Very tender. Mashed potatoes (3/5)- standard fare, nothing special. Mushrooms (4/5)- generous portion of roasted medley of mushrooms. I'd order again. Caesar Brussel Sprouts (5/5)- with such a unique menu description, I had to order it. I can't tell if I loved it or not, but I kept going back for more. Is essentially a warm Caesar salad casserole - shaved brussel sprouts baked with Parmesan cheese, Caesar dressing, and a topped with crispy crouton crumble. Texturally balanced between the soft crunch of the sprouts, the gooey cheese, and the crispy crumble. Definitely a salty dish. I'm not sure if I'd necessarily recommend this dish because it feels like such an acquired taste. That being said, I would order it again for myself. 100 Grand Bar (4/5)- two very dense chocolate bars with little bits of walnut, crisped rice, and gold leaf served in a pool of caramel sauce. Very rich. In summary - I really wanted to love this place, but I left liking it. I'll definitely be back to see if they can earn that fifth star. read more

made reservations for porterhouse via opentable for my s/o birthday!! we were greeted as we entered. the restaurant is gorgeous. from the brick wall to the lighting to the wine room the lighting was uniformly distributed throughout the restaurant, which made the place very inviting and elegant everyone that worked there were so welcoming. we were asked if this was our first visit, which it was. our waitress was so kind. she explained the menu, wine and drink menu and even told us to check out the "patio" upstairs! we ordered: SAUTÉED LUMP CRAB CAKE WAGYU BURGER WAGYU 8OZ FILET MIGNON FRIED FINGERLING POTATOES WITH CANDIED BACON LARDONS HERBED ROASTED GARLIC INFUSED BUTTERY MASHED POTATOES GRILLED JUMBO ASPARAGUS everything was delicious. the service was praiseworthy although i did tell her, we were there for his birthday and she acknowledged, nothing was brought out after our meal. i think she forgot or they don't offer anything for birthdays?? regardless, the food was delicious! parking: street, parking lot, parking garage read more

This was a restaurant recommended by a friend who recently dined there. Everything was very nice about the restaurant beginning with the wait staff, and ambience and the food was amazing. They are known for their steaks and bourbons. My son is somewhat of a bourbon connoisseur and he ordered drinks for us. I had an old-fashioned that was well-made. I don't know the name of the bourbon, but it was nice and smooth. I ordered the Wagyu 12 ounce New York cut it was fabulous. I was not able to finish it so I took the rest of it home and had a nice lunch the next day. I will definitely go back. read more

Beef. Bourbon. Birthday. Had me at Beef. But toss in Bourbon and a Birthday and it didn't take a lot of arm twisting for me to join friends for dinner on a school night. Anyway ... Parking. Street and lots. I don't remember the hours of enforcement but I do remember not paying. I think it's 6PM. Check the signs. Busy evening. Great service. Team made sure we were well taken care of. Not that we needed much. Give us food and drinks - and time for us to just enjoy it all. Enjoyed my meal. And drink. And sides. I didn't take many pics - too hungry to wait. Cleared my plate - and the shared sides. Grabbed me the Ribeye - rare plus. Served as requested (see pic). This is one of the places I heard about but just never got there.

Many of my posts about about the experience of dining with my special needs son. And from that perspective, Porterhouse B&B was amazing. From the hostess who was gracious and got us seated quickly despite being early, to Marie our waitress who knew how the work with us without having to say a word. The food was quick to come out and served as expected, but I felt like every item ordered was a bit short of being great. And given the price, I give four instead of five stars. read more

2nd time coming here and it is still outstanding! It was a birthday dinner for my buddy Olga. We started with the Wagyu Steak Tartare mid the Saffron Poached Colossal Shirmp Cocktail, they were so very good! Loved them both! We order the a couple if Wagyu steaks, one Filet Mignon for Olga and the New York both from Margaret River, Australia. Let me tell you they were cooked perfect, Filet Medium and the NY Rare for me. We ordered two sides dishes to join them. The grill jumbo asparagus and the herded roasted garlic infused buttery mashed potatoes. They were great as well. Then we finished it off with a comped the 100 Grand Bar for Olga's Birthday and the Salted Caramel Butterscotch Pot De Creme!!!

Excellent food and service. My wife and I really enjoyed the drinks, the appetizers and great steak. Highly recommend.

Excellent wagyu ribeye and service! Nice dimly lit vibe and a good wine selection. Sides can be avoided as the steak shines by itself

Enjoyed an excellent dinner at Porterhouse this week. It was my fourth visit to the restaurant and, this time, I brought my company CEO and some other executives with me. We started things off with a round of refreshing "The Jetty" cocktails (made with locally-headquartered NEFT Vodka) followed by the Brie & pear pastry, fried oyster, and pork belly appetizers. I usually despise fried oysters, but these were very good. The pork belly rivaled what you'd find at a good Shanghainese restaurant. Next up: wagyu filet, ribeyes, and the fish along with broccolini, potato wedges, and Mexican corn. The steaks were high-quality and perfectly cooked (didn't try the fish). The Mexican corn was a stand-out. Concluded the meal with the cheesecake and the Creme Brulee. This was the best trip of the four- Porterhouse has really hit its stride! Highly-recommend Porterhouse. Kudos to the owners, Chris (GM), Yuli (waiter), and Trisha and Joey (bartenders). Can't wait to go back! read more

Super cute restaurant on a lovely Saturday with my sister and goddaughter. We were greeted pleasantly by the hostess and seated immediately. Love that for us. Immediately we started off with our drinks and we can prepared to order. The bread was definitely a lovely blend of thyme and dough almost melt in your mouth ! For starters I tried the crab cake with corn sauce and it was yummy. Very filling very flavorful. I could lick the plate of sauce it was so tasty !!! I opted for the New York waygu medium and it was delicious I couldn't have asked for better. Sis got the filet well done medallion style (can't change some people lol) she said it was delicious and juicy so I think that's a win all across the board for our steaks For our sides we had the Brocollini with miso on the side and herb garlic mashed potatoes. Let me say these potatoes were delicious. Top notch For desert we chose the bread pudding with vanilla gelato and boy oh boy were we completely and utterly satisfied. read more

My wife and I had a delicious dinner at Porterhouse Bourbon & Bones this past weekend. We have been on a quest to find a great steakhouse, and this one is near the top of the list. Let me start by gsharing the highlights. At the end, I will give the readers, and hopefully the management at the restaurant why 4 Stars and not 5 which is easily correctable. It is in an excellent location, and beautifully laid out. Our wonderful server Alonso not only provided superb service and recommendations along with Cynthia who was helping him, but he also gave us a tour of the enclosed outdoor patio area afterwards which had nice charm. The front area had booths and tables. Alonso showed great pride in the incredibly diverse and tantalizing menu from appetizers to main courses with a nice selection of steaks to other creative duck and even oxtail entrees which will definitely bring us back. As the name implies, there is a pages long list of bourbons and scotches, as well as a well rounded wine list by the glass or bottle. After cocktails, we took Cynthia's suggestion of sharing their crabcake which was loaded with Maryland blue crab and delectable sauce with grilled corn. Their Baby Gem Caesar salad was one of the best we have had and generous in it size with light, fresh croutons, shaved cheese and an exquisite dressing that had a great balance of anchovy, garlic and Tabasco ~ truly a gem. The Prime Filet and Wagyu New York Steak were delicious and prepared as ordered. Alonso explained the prep of the Creamed Spinach with Blue cheese in a light Mornay sauce and the nice fried fingerlings with tasty bacon lardons. The En Route Russian River Pinot Noir went will with the rich dinner. We saw other items that looked intriguing as mentioned above, as well as the fried oysters and creamed street corn that we will try the next time. There was plenty to take home, and no room for some nice looking desserts. In summary, the service from Alonso and Cynthia was warm and personable, the menu and food absolutely delicious, the ambience very cozy. So why the downgrade in stars? In any restaurant experience, the evening starts with the front staff. When my wife checked in, the first encounter with Kennedy the hostess at the front was impersonal unenthusiastic, robotic and rude. We had reservations for a booth because of her bad back, but she was brought back to a small table she couldn't maneuver into even though there we were there at 5:30 for an early dinner, and we counted 5 booths open. Kennedy reluctantly went back to the front. When I walked in, my wife was left standing at the table. When I saw the situation, and inquired at the front, Kennedy was consulting with the French host. After waiting a few more minutes with no recognition or acknowledgment, she was sent back to reseat us at a booth. He was more polite, saying another Rez was coming in at 7:00, but at least this was an explanation. My wife, on the other hand, was curtly told, we had to leave by 7:00. Fortunately the rest of our dining experience was enjoyable, relaxing and delicious. We saw this same hostess marching other guests to their table with no smile or welcoming personality. I write these reviews to encourage other diners to share in our experiences, not to put down places. I am sure Porterhouse Bourbon & Bones would want to know of an employee, who does not represent them well, and act accordingly. This is only good for their business. We look forward to dining at Porterhouse again in the near future, and bring along other friends, and I'll follow up with the appropriate Star rating . read more

Had marvelous experience at this place this evening. Beautiful modern interior with full bar. Our server Erin was very knowlegeable, attentive, and kept our table neat. Had pork belly and wagyu tartar appetizer which were perfectly flavored. Nothing too salty or too sweet. New York steak was very tender and that BLUE CHEESE DIPPING SAUCE was delish. We decided to try this place because of their whisky cocktail menu, and ofc drinks were great too. Tried 5 bourbon cocktails and none of them were bad. But...poweder sugar and crushed ice were missing on mint julep. Only downside was that we made a reservation for birthday dinner and they did checked our ID before ordering drinks. We also ordered a dessert but there was nothing celebratory... no candle no "happy birthday!" written on the dessert unlike other places. Just wonding What was the point of asking the occasion. Overall, has lovely night and definately coming back with other friends and family. Thank you for amazing experince !! :) read more
