Best value in Los Angeles - $40 prixe fix including 2 alcoholic bevs. 4/22/2007

I recommend this place if you are in the area and in the mood for something not too expensive and at a great value. Host was cheerful and friendly. Service was not perfect but friendly and somewhat attentive. This is great place to try at least once for the great value for the prixe fixe at $40. You'll have to try the molten chocolate lava cake..so good. Also a nice touch was the cotton candy you get before dessert is served. I was satisfied and would return if in the area. Steaks are of good quality but lacking flavor. Give it a try and you will be pleased with what you pay for. Pros: prixe fixe value at $40! for a 4-course meal and alcoholic drinks included, location, friendliness Cons: attentiveness, steak may need some salt and pepper more

Best deal in town for high quality steak 10/25/2006

You can't beat the pre fixe menu pricing, You can go Sun-Thurs and save a few more buck as well. The steaks are top notch, as well as the sides and starters. The desserts leave a lot to be desired. Good wine selection, wait staff is very helpful. Definitely make reservations. Pros: Price, quality and service Cons: If it's busy, service can be slow more

Great meal, great value! 8/29/2006

Have been several times to this restaurant, and have left both impressed in the quality and stuffed to the gills. The prix fixe menu is an unbeatable deal. The porterhosue steak is definitely the star of the show. I give it a 9 out of 10. Pros: quality/value Cons: service can be spotty, but is friendly enough more

mediocre ""hotel food"" 8/10/2006

I read the reviews on Citysearch and was expecting some decent food. I was so dissappointed!!! The food at porterhouse reminded me of room service gone wrong. Not to say it wasn't decent, but for the price, DEFINITELY not worth it. Spend the extra $20 or so to get some quality food elsewhere, please!!!!!!!!!!!! I have to say the appetizer was decent. The salad was not fresh and tasted stale, as if it had been swimming in dressing for a while and sitting out. The steak was much better than anything else at dinner, but still really mediocre. Given I am a huge dessert fan and probably more critical than I should be, I really thought dessert was horrible. The chocolate lava cake I got lacked the ""lava"" component and overall it was just really dry and tasteless. AVOID unless you are looking for mediocre food!!!!!!!! Pros: service was decent Cons: food, ambience more

Good value. 7/31/2006

We went on a whim on a Saturday night while looking for a place to eat. We didn't have reservations but we were seated immediately, although it seemed to be pretty packed. We were pleasantly surprised at the value that we got for the prix fixe menu. You get a 4 course meal w/ 2 drinks (soda and generic alcohol only, otherwise extra). Food is decent, service is good, and it's cheap. Pros: value, service more

A very poor choice. 7/28/2006

Good beef does not have to be so seasoned that any flavor the meat might have is obscured by pepper and god knows what. Nor does it have to be served on a sizzling platter like fajitas at a chain Mexican-themed restaurant. Nor should to be greasy (because it has been buttered?). It should be cooked to order and not, as in my case, served medium when rare has been requested. This restaurant is very much like a lesser hotel restuarant. A very poor choice. Pros: Can not think of one. Cons: It would be unremarkable if it weren't so remarkably underwhelming. more

Birthday dinner 6/26/2006

We made reservations for my girlfriend's birthday. Reservation was late, granted, 8:45 p.m. Upon entering we were greeted promptly and the gentleman was great, very attentive. Once we were seated though we sat for about 10 minutes as we watched the servers walk around us, then finally we received some bread and 4 good spreads. We then sat again, short time until our server came and explained the prix fix menu. The food came shortly afterwards and the quality was very good. The side dishes were good, but the quantity for steak house standards were small. The steak was very good and prepared perfectly. The desserts were very good, the Lava Chocolate cake, recommended by the server was particlularily good. For birthdays, there were others going on they serve a sprial of cotton candy that was very cool. I would describe the experience as sufficient as a whole. I would recommend that eating here would be best from 6-8 p.m. It seemed that the lateness had an affect on the atmoshpere and the overall service. It was good, I would look around before returning. more

if this is prime 5/28/2006

If this is prime beef than I prefer select beef, it is not a good steak house, no seasoning, you might think it is a good deal for a three course meal but it is not. Spend another ten bucks and eat some where real good. more

A Great Value 4/4/2006

Without question the Porterhouse Bistro's Prix Fixe is the best value in Beverly Hills, and probably in Los Angeles. The service, from Maitre 'D to server to bus boy, is exceptionally friendly and efficient. The hosts, in particular, thankfully lack the oppressive attitude of other high end Beverly Hills steakhouses on N. Canon Dr. north of Wilshire on the East side of the street that I will not mention. The steaks are delicious and well prepared, the sides are small but tasty, and the chocolate lava cake in particular is dynamite. Figuring that appetizer, salad, entree, sides, dessert, and two drinks puts you at $40 there is no reason (outside of vegetarianism) not to give it a shot. As a bonus they have a reasonable corkage fee and provide decanters and crystal glassware often without request. Pros: Food, Service, Value Cons: The word's out, book early more

Good deal... 3/15/2006

The prix fix menu is a great idea and a great deal... The appetizers were a little bit small but we had a quiet romantic evening in this restaurant. We had to wait because our table wasn t ready but the staff was courteous. We ll recommend to make reservation. Pros: staff, prix fixe menu more

KNOCK OUT - FOOD, VALUE & AMBIANCE 2/2/2006

Stopped in so I wouldn'y have to get on the I-10 to Palm Dprings on 1-27-06 at 5:30. Surprized at the quality of everything - Rib eye was excellent - HOT & JUICY! Great crunchy & hot baguette for the ""Do It Yourself"" Bruschetta. Surprized at the available choices for the prix fixe - unbelievably broad. My meal was superb, everything was well prepared. After such a large meal, a dessert was difficult so I had the sorbet and it made me happy. Knowing I could have a cocktail, cocktails, coctails & wine, or many other refreshments amazed me. I'll share this fine establishment. Pros: Food, Value, Ambiance Cons: Needed 2 stomachs!, Too much good stuff, No room for it all more
