Looking forward to my return visit

I am looking forward to my second annual Aug (2009) trip to MN when I will make a visit to the Porter House Steak and Seafood establishment. I cannot get walleye in Colorado... so this is my chance to eat up. I was there in 2008 and loved the food, atmosphere and other people at the bar. It was great.... I can't wait.

Been there many times, will not return

I have never been so offended at a restaurant in my entire life.
I ordered a filet, medium-well. The steak came RARE, I didn't even need to say a thing to the waitress- she noticed and immediately took the steak back. I was not bothered by this, it happens.
My husband ordered the sea bass and something wasn't quite right with it. He said it was rubbery, not flakey he honestly could not eat it. He told the waitress that something wasn't right with the fish. He didn't want to insinuate that it may be possible the fish wasn't fresh, so he just told her that "something doesn't seem right with the fishâ€ as politely as possible.
The manager came to our table and asked "does the water taste okay at least?â€ How rude.
I didn't say a thing about the steak and my husband felt really bad about mentioning that he wasn't able to eat the fish. I immediately placed my check card at the end of the table.
I feel justified in writing this negative review because I shared my opinion with the waitress. She was shocked when I told her what the manager said, her exact response was "what?? The steak was rare. I don't understand- I was the one who said the steak was rare.â€
In the restaurants defense, my steak was good when it came back (fyi: the baked potato was way too salty), the hostess, bartender and waitress were wonderful. The manager should be replaced. He is rude.
I will not be patronizing this restaurant again and will make sure to let others know why. I actually left the restaurant feeling sad that I had been treated this way.

good food

We've never had a bad meal. The staff is well trained.
The food has always been perfect. The scallops are
wonderful whatever way they a prepared. The Salmon is alvays good and the Steaks are always done to order. The wait is worth it.
I'm glad we found you!!!!

Treat yourself to a real dining experience!!!

This is a wonderful establishment. The food is carefully prepared and made with quality ingredients. The recipes are solid and goo. Not high marks for adventurous cooking just great flavor... great steaks.
The staff is professional and just the right amount of class and friendly casual.
The bar is one of the few places in the area where you actually get what you pay for.
Highly recommend

Best Overall Steakhouse-Porterhouse

Porterhouse is a gem. We eat out at steakhouses 10-2- times a year at the top spots-Ruth's Chris, Mortons, Murry's, Capital Grill...and since a couple of years ago have settled in going to Porterhouse in Little Canada. They charge a lot less and the food is tops. It rocks-try it out. The steaks are great quality-we have never had a bad experience. Well prepared and the service is great. Jason, Leese, Kathy and the rest of the staff work hard to make you happy. Never pretentious. Need something special? Call Jason-he is the best!. Once a car blocked me in by parking 12 inches from my door-no problem; one of the "thinner staff" came out in the snow, crawled over the car and went through the window to get my car out. That is just an example of they aim to please.
