PorterhouseWhat an incredible waste of money. You're a steakhouse! How can you be bad at making steaks? Especially the $185 ones!!

Six month steakhouse embargo after this! So disappointing. People love the build-out. It's fine. The ambiance is dull. The service is nice, but not right for a steakhouse. Very reserved. I want exuberance and this was anything but. Also the entrees were the worst part! Why does this continue to be a theme at steakhouses?! Outside of J. Carver's, I don't know why we don't just go to Perry's.
