Editorial Review for Porterhouse Bistro – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
Floor-to-ceiling windows and understated tones add ambience to this long, narrow restaurant. Well-spaced booths and tables offer privacy to whispering couples and well-coiffed Beverly Hills locals who flock here for the famed four-course prix-fixe dinner. Steaks dominate entree choices, like the bone-in filet mignon, while seafood options include ginger-spiced pan-seared scallops served on a mound of stir-fried sprouts.

I was expecting great things after reading all of the positive reviews. My wife and I both ordered the ribeye steaks and we were very disappointed. For one thing, at a restaurant of this purported caliber, I shouldn't feel like I HAVE to drench my steak in steak sauce. There was almost no flavor to the steak. I was shocked. It was literally one of the worst steaks I have ever had. Atmosphere was okay, but overshadowed by the poor main course. We did enjoy the onion soup. The waiters were very attentive and amiable.
Pros: ambience, service
Cons: steak

We had a dinner in this restaurant and I’d like to share my experience. It was my first time in this restaurant and I didn’t choose it myself. So before the dinner I read the menu on the internet as well as the reviews. According to some reviews the food was good but the service so-so. But I still hoped for the best. I am a foreigner, I have been living in LA for 2 years and I don’t go out very often, so I decided to give it a try. I bought a fancy birthday cake for our dinner guest for $40 in Sweet Lady Jane and my husband gave it to the manager when we arrived. The cake disappeared mysteriously during our dinner. I had to ask several times about the cake and our guests were pretty nervous already. Finally the manager came and told me that the cake had been cut into pieces, that it was a mistake! ! He apologized and offered the substitution for the cake, but he said that we would have our own cake as well. I didn’t want to argue with him, because I didn’t want to ruin the nice evening for our guests, so I did my best not to show how upset I was. When we had almost finished our coffee the cake substitution arrived. It couldn’t be compared with Sweet lady Jane of course - a pile of cotton candy with a candle! And 5 minutes later we also got the remains of our own cake - four tiny little pieces. I still wonder - where is the rest? The cake was made for 6-8 people. And a special decoration was made on the cake with the name of the birthday person. So it’s very difficult to believe that the cake was just cut by mistake and served to some other clients as a regular dessert. It’s very strange, sad and even shocking that these things can happen in a decent Beverly Hills restaurant. Some time ago I’d worked as manager in a restaurant in a country that is considered to be developing and less refined (especially in comparison with Beverly Hills), but I can tell you for sure it couldn’t happen in my restaurant.
Pros: ambience
Cons: service
