Came here for a birthday dinner. Really confusing to find the main entrance to this place. We ordered street tacos and cornbread to start. Both were fantastic. I would love the cornbread recipe! My partner had the wagyu chicken fried steak, my mom and Aunt had the salmon platter, and I had the 8oz Fillet. Everyone seemed to enjoy their choice. I ordered my steak medium well and it came out well done and dry. I really did not like any of the steak sauce options, but I went with a peppercorn sauce. It was not really for me. As for the sides, we had macaroni and Brussels sprouts. They were amazing! I would come back just for the mac and cornbread! We tried some sort of banana and ice-cream dessert. I would make a different choice next time around. To finish on a positive note, the margarita was on point!

Do not recommend. Service is good but not the food. Asked for medium but it’s more like a medium well to well done temp. Not worth $60 at all, i can cook better at home lol. They are willing to bring you another one but why bother if they cannot make it right the first time and waste your time and food. It happened at Republican steak house as well. Just avoid those overpriced but no good “fine dinning” in small town.

From the moment we stepped into this fine dining establishment, we knew we were in for a treat. The atmosphere was warm yet sophisticated, setting the perfect tone for an unforgettable evening. The highlight of our night was undoubtedly the bar experience, thanks to the incredible bartenders, Rhiannon and Mady. Their expertise, professionalism, and warm personalities elevated our time at the bar. Each cocktail was a masterpiece—balanced, flavorful, and beautifully presented. They took the time to understand our preferences and crafted drinks that were nothing short of perfection. The dining experience was equally impressive. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared, with impeccable attention to detail in both flavor and presentation. The service was seamless, ensuring that every course arrived at just the right moment. Between the exceptional food, expertly crafted cocktails, and the welcoming energy from Rhiannon and Mady, this was truly a five-star experience. We’ll absolutely be returning and highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for top-tier dining and mixology!

We had my Son’s rehearsal dinner at Porter’s . They provided the best service. Derek and Aspen were so helpful with the details and the food was fabulous. Highly recommend 💙

Food was okay but not executed as it should have been. For a place this expensive I wasn’t expecting the steaks to be under seasoned and the temperatures to be off. For the caliber this restaurant is going for the kitchen was not up to par.

Addison was precious! So helpful and lovely throughout our dining experience. Mike was a kind manager - checked on us frequently - as did Addison.

We recently had our son and daughter in laws rehearsal dinner at Porters. I began corresponding with Derek several weeks before the dinner to select menu items, seating arrangements, etc. He was always prompt and helpful to my questions. Aspen was working the night of the dinner and checked on our party throughout to be sure everything was ok. Derek, Aspen, the wait staff and everyone there were top notch. The food was excellent as well! I definitely recommend Porters!

So, I don't write reviews, but this is my second time at the Hotel George and for good reason. The place is amazing and Amber at the front desk is incredible, welcoming and warm. You should absolutely visit Reagan at Porter's. He's very knowledgeable, warm and welcoming at the bar. Trust me, you won't go wrong.
