porterhouse bistro offers exceptional food at a low price. But the service isn't something you would look forward to, since it's very casual. I took my family there for the father's day diinner, and since it was our first time, we were not able to sit in a table we preferred. The good ones were reserved for the regulars who could request specific tables at their conveniences. There was water leaking from the ceiling in one part of the restaurant, which I thought interesting. THe whole place is lively and loud and everyone very busy but not negligent. But the food is excellent. Three course meal at only $40/person on weekends, and very tasty meal at that. I've been to my share of luxurious eateries in LA, but POrterhouse was something altogether impressive and pleasantly surprising.
