It appears those…read morewho've given Porterhouse the lowest ratings and have been the most critical, seem unhappy that this eatery isn't like it used to be "back in the day". While I'd not visited Porterhouse before, when we came here recently we actually considered it a happy find. We were in Aventura looking for a late dinner spot on a Thursday, and were originally planning to go to Houston's, but noted it closes early. An internet search for steakhouses turned up Porterhouse which was open until late, so we decided to check it out. They sat us right away, together on a couch at a table usually meant for 4 and we were given the food menu, cocktail menu and their wine list. We decided to start with a cocktail, which were well-poured and reasonably priced. We then ordered the burrata and toasted bread as an appetizer, and for our entrees we requested the NY strip, branzino fish, mac & cheese and asparagus, all to share. We also had a bottle of wine with dinner. Everything we had was good, and the service was attentive throughout our time here. The only real disappointments were: 1) The sparse presentation of the burrata salad (see photo). It was described in the menu as "creamy 4 oz burrata served with heirloom tomato, ripe peaches, olive oil, white balsamic reduction and fresh graded hazelnuts topped with micro greens". What we were served was just a ball of burrata with some un-ripe tomato wedges and a sprinkling of nuts, but the presentation was certainly lacking vs. many other restaurants that offer that dish. 2) I personally found the branzino to be a bit flavorless, again, comparing that fish here to what we've had elsewhere. Aside from those few notes, everything we had was fine, and the NY strip was VERY flavorful and tender. Prices here are more or less in-line with other better steakhouses in the Miami area, but we were surprised by how reasonably priced some of their wines were at Porterhouse compared to many other restaurants. Their wine pricing alone may be enough to lure us back. This restaurant was listed as being open until 2 a.m. that night, but surprisingly, they began calling last call for the kitchen a few hours before that. Also, note they include an automatic 20% service charge on all checks. We chose to sit on the patio in front (which was great with the ocean breeze and the view of the waterfalls in front of the buildings across from this place), but when I went inside to use the restroom it looked quite lively and fun, and next time we may choose to sit at the bar. They had karaoke on that night and then changed to a DJ, and the very large bar and indoor dining area were quite full and the patrons appeared to be having a good time.

We started with the blackened tuna bites, which were a great way to start. I ordered the carnitas tacos and my friend ordered the tuna tacos, only for our waiter to come back and tell us they were out of both. So we switched it up and ordered something else. The short rib tacos were spectacular! The meat was tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The carne asada tacos were also really good. But the Prime Filet Steak Sandwich was the winner for me. The filet was tender and flavorful, and the whole sandwich was just delicious. We also had the passionfruit margaritas. They were a little light on the tequila and heavy on the juice for my taste. They have a huge menu, so there are still plenty of things I want to try. I'm definitely coming back and hopefully next time they have the tuna bites.

It didn't seem clean. I almost walked out but I didn't know where else to go for dinner so I continued into the restaurant. The waitress and bar staff were very nice friendly and attentive. So ii ordered some food. When I received what I ordered with the first bite I took I realized how oily my food was. It seemed like both items I ordered they used heavy oil to cook it. I was hungry but it was tough to eat and my stomach felt heavy and I felt sick almost immediately. I did not enjoy the food at all. Sorry but I won't be returning to this place anytime ever again.
