This is the third time for me at The Porter's House for dinner and the first time with some business contacts from Europe. We had a late addition to the party and I did not know he was a vegetarian until we were seated, but he made do with some sides and had a great experience. The other three of us sank our teeth into the 16oz steaks with two getting the Porterhouse and the third getting a NY Strip. Over dinner, as we discussed some business, there were frequent comments about the quality of the food and the taste. We closed out the evening with two shared desserts. Then this morn we met for breakfast to close out our discussion from the night before at a different establishment. All three thanked me profusely for picking a great steak house and even added that for one it was the bests steak house he has been to as of yet in the US. When you consider he's been to Miami, Atlanta, Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, Washington DC, and Las Vegas, that is truly saying something. Thank you to the team at Porter's House for a great business dinner.

My husband and I had dinner at The Gallery last night to celebrate his birthday, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better evening! Everything was absolutely wonderful, from the delicious food to the amazing service and beautiful atmosphere. It made celebrating his birthday feel even more special. We enjoyed every minute of our evening and can’t wait to come back!

Our service last night was absolutely great, food was great and our experience there was so professional from the staff and our server. To top everything off, the manager, JP had visited our table along with many others, introduced himself to us and greeted us by thanking us for being at Red Rock Cafe. Awesome. A ten plus!

Food was excellent and so was the service. We enjoyed the Krispy Korean Wings appetizer. My husband loved his salmon and I had the chef feature, Mountain Trout, which was also delicious. The pumpkin tiramisu was yummy and cappuccino was perfect. Would definitely go back.
