I was lucky enough to have good friends take me here for my Birthday dinner last week and everything was wonderful. We shared everything from a perfectly cooked Rib Eye, Scallop Carpaccio, Shrimp Pasta dish, sides of Brussel Sprouts and asparagus. Don't forget the dessert of the Cheesecake and $1000 Bar were amazing. The wait staff were plentiful, helpful and very attentive. The owner showed us the outdoor seating in the back with live music which we will defiantly reserve and check out next time we come back. Thank you for a wonderful meal and a wonderful culinary experience. read more

Service was great, and the ambiance was excellent. The appetizers, mushrooms, broccolini, and salads were all on point. However, the steak was disappointing--I wish I had chosen something else. I understand the farm doesn't cook the steaks, but I regularly order from this farm, and the marbling is usually much better than what I received. Other steaks looked great on nearby tables, so maybe I just got a bad hand. Unfortunately, the main course lacked the flavor profile you'd expect from a Creekstone Farms prime cut of meat. read more

After hearing about the rave reviews we were so excited to check it out. We were highly disappointed. First, I love the ambience/interior. It is such a beautiful place! That's about all the good I can say. I had one of the worst old fashioned I've had. That's one of my go to drinks and it was a faillllll. We also tried the Manhattan and a mango cocktail; they also left much to be desired, especially with the time they took to make The food was mediocre. Our steak was overcooked and didn't have much flavor. The burger was good, but just good/ok. Not really worth the price. But, the crab cake!!!! Chefs kiss! Absolutely amazing!!! Finished with dessert , but wasn't a huge fan of the bread pudding. Boyfriend liked it but I didn't really think it was anything special. Service wasn't bad. The staff seemed very knowledgeable, but not really personable. Just reciting things robotically it seemed. All in all...pretty mediocre and not really worth the $3/400 we spent on date night read more

I will start by saying that I really would like this place to succeed because E.S. needs a steakhouse! We went in on 4th night since the opening so there are still things they are working on, so please take it into account when you read it. Very attentive staff, you could see they are really trying to create really good experience Food was good. Foie De Poulet Frit was amazing. Something very tasty and unusual. Steak tartar was great too. Overall, everything was delicious. They have two kid friendly options: butter pasta and a burger that are not on the menu but available upon request. Pasta we got was good according to my son and cost us $15. A little steep for a pasta but we were at a steakhouse so I get it. Our steaks took a little while and ended up being cold. Side dishes were very hot so I assume they were waiting to serve everyone at once and ended up serving cold steaks. The cooking temperature of the meat was perfect though. I got my steak medium rare and it was truly medium rare and not that "you order medium rare and we serve you medium" situation. Again, it is their 4th day so I hope they will work it out. Front manager was very kind by helping resolve the situation. drinks are bourbon heavy, not a lot of sweet/light cocktail options on the menu but they have a full bar. I didn't care much for the wine options on the menu that looked limited. Hopefully they can expand the drinks menu with time. The place was full when we dined today since people are super excited to try out this new place. I suggest you give it a try too! Hopefully they will work out some of the hiccups and will establish a great name in El Segundo dining scene. read more

My boyfriend and I went out for a date night and had heard that the food and ambiance were amazing here. Our server Erin, was absolute perfection and really made our night special. From the moment we entered the hostess was smiling while welcoming us and was very professional. Erin helped us navigate the drink and food menus and gave amazing detail into the way the chef prepares each item we asked about. The oysters and the salmon dish were delicious. I will definitely be back soon and hope to see Erin again, she radiated positive energy and was so lovely. read more

I love this place! It's very expensive, and definitely not somewhere I would go everyday, but the food was excellent! We ordered two starters: the spicy fried oysters and the crab cake! Both were delicious but the oysters? And I hate oysters by the way! But THESE oysters?? Oh baby! I wanted to take an order to go! The only thing I hated was the small portion size, but what can you do? We split a steak and several sides--all of it was good, except for the fingerling potatoes. They were a bit blank compared to how flavorful everything else was. The service was great and ambiance was perfect! read more

Will travel for steak, and the 45 minute drive to Porterhouse, Bourbon & Bone was well worth it. Great food, ambiance, and service. We are rather discerning steak eaters and not easily impressed. The ribeye was stellar -- one of the best steaks we have had in some time. They have a good selection of cuts, including two Australian Wagu steaks. We started with the crab cake and lamb cheek. The crab cake was one of the best I have ever had -- really outstanding. The lamb cheek was good, but overshadowed by the crab cake. We had the bread pudding for dessert. Fantastic! The atmosphere is very comfortable and cozy. Stylish use of reclaimed wood juxtaposed against a brick wall with green booths. All works very nicely. The service was superlative. Our waiter was very attentive and orchestrated our experience perfectly. We met the owner, manager, and chef, all of whom were incredibly gracious. We enjoyed the meal so much that we made another reservation two weeks later. And, we requested the same wonderful waiter. "The proof is in the pudding." read more

I'm soooo glad I found this unique steakhouse. The bar was expansive (beyond bourbon) but the old fashioned was exceptional. The food, atmosphere, and owners were amazing. Please sit out on the patio you will thank me. I got the hamburger and fries, hubby got the Ny Strip and we split the bok choy and creamed corn. The spicy cooked oysters were delicious along with the baked Brie. I'm telling you this is a great spot! read more

Ribeye was very good. Choices were well thought out and pared well. Service was just right. Highly recommend

Discovered Porterhouse by accident in downtown El Segundo. My wife and I very much enjoy steak houses and looked forward to our first time here. I see all the great reviews, and I anticipated a very good experience, however there were just too many gaffes, particularly with the service. Clearly, there is complete lack of communication between the hostess, server, and even manager. We had reservation for 7pm last night (Saturday). We waited 45 minutes before we were seated at our reserved designated table. The couple at our table-to-be were "long finished" and were casually talking while we waited. The hostess was equally frustrated and insisted they would be leaving soon. At 7:45 we learned that they were never even given their bill, and hence the server was at fault for our long wait. Hostess and server were not connected. Also, I might point out that while we were waiting I met the owner (I believe his name is Alex) introduced himself, asked where we were sitting, and said he would stop by to say hello once we were seated. He visited the table next to us "twice" for about 20-30 minutes. I would have liked to have talked to him. We ordered a couple cocktails, which were good, and the wedge salad and pork belly appetizer was delicious! My wife and I shared the NY wagu steak and a couple sides, also very good. However the steak was served cold. Notified our server who humbly apologized and commented that she would talk to the manager about that (perhaps give a concession). Steak came back nuked but still lukewarm. They offered no concession. This is a very nice place with great ambience and clearly very busy! And the food is good. But I am very disappointed they did not have the common sense to offer some sort of concession, perhaps a complimentary desert. (I was in the service industry for 32 plus years, and learned that customer service is absolutely essential, when these types of gaffes occur, and I ALWAYS gave concessions to show good will, and insure the satisfaction of the customer). At a cost of $240 for 2 people, I expect better. I hope the owner sees these comments. I still wish this business the best! read more

Service was great, host and server were attentive and kind. Ambiance was nice, we were seated in a booth which was comfortable. Most of the food was good, but the steak was mediocre. The Good: Crab bisque was very good, pear and brie starter was a treat, side of asparagus was very good. The Bad: My wife and I shared a $60 ribeye and it was 3/4" thick at best. Some people like grill lines in their steak, but it's not great when the char on the exterior of the steak tastes like burnt flesh. We asked for steak to be cooked medium -- steak was served medium well -- the steak was just too thin. Side order of bread was below average (bland, dense, not very warm - we expect more when we have to pay for the bread), side order of mushrooms were a bit bland. read more

Decided to try the Dine LA menu and all four of us were thrilled. We all had the filet mignon which the perfect temperature and one of the best we've ever had. Loved sitting in the patio. Definitely going back. read more

My family and I went here to celebrate my dad's birthday and our experience was amazing. We got champagne on the house and the service was great. Bartenders are friendly and informative. I work in the industry so I know what great service looks like. The ambience is welcoming and the back patio is beautiful. I ordered the wagu filet mignon and it was perfectly tender, and the crème brûlée was some of the best I've ever had. They really did an amazing job building this restaurant. I will be back soon. read more

Porterhouse - Espresso martini - Steakhouses Near Me - El Segundo, California

This place was great. I enjoyed myself. The hostess could have been a bit more friendlier. Overall, the service and the food were excellent.

amazing new restaurant addition to our little town. very upscale with price points comparable to Fleming's and Ruth's Chris. not as crazy expensive as BOA and better atmosphere. the place is deceivingly big. we knew it's prior iteration, Second City Bistro. Porterhouse has done a great job with the remodel. we've eaten here twice and have thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. mama came one for a date night. got seated in front, right on time for our reservation. service was great from the get go. our cocktails, old fashioned/dirty martini, were made proper. we started with the oysters and split the caesar salad. oysters were wonderful and evne split, the salad was good size. we ordered a petite filet and the sea bass. sides were mushrooms and the best charred broccolini i've ever had. mama's steak came out well and my fish was ok. sea bass was a little fishier than i prefer. our next trip, we came with friends and sat in the back patio area. nice use of space back there and very welcoming. they pre-split the filet as we asked and it was surprisingly a good amount of meat. we ordered the broccolini again and it was a delicious as the first time. sooooo good. pro-tip: if you drink wine and are planning on getting more than 2 glasses, we recommend buying a bottle. pours are lighter than we are used to. overall, a great dinner to be had here. we'll definitely be back. read more

Porterhouse has it all going on. Great food, service and the vibe. We sat in the back patio - very cozy and comfortable with a mix of table choices from high tables to low tables with comfortable cushioned low seating - we sat there and it was super fun. The inside dining room is different and kinda sexy! This is a high end steak house without being pretentious. Alex the owner is warm and welcoming and the rest of the staff takes his lead. Great addition to Downtown El Segundo. read more

This place is great for meeting business associates and finding a nice place for drinks. Reservations are best and the food is overpriced for what it is. But you are paying for the ambience and backdrop for sophisticated and handsome drinks. Our party had steak, tartar, and the pasta with bolognese. Portions for the steak and tartar were very small, pasta was good portion but the meat sauce was not as refined as expected. The accompaniments could have been improved. Example. Tartar came with toasted crostini. I feel like it could have been wonton shells to help scoop and crunch. Crostini is too...bready. The steak needed to have been on top of mashed potatoes and one cute carrot and asparagus eg sticking out. It should have come with either thick steak fries or thin steak frites. Instead it came with a small basket of medium fries. The pasta - they should go to Drago and try the pappardelle to take notes on that proportion and texture juxtaposition. It should come with some focaccia bread to soak up the sauce. read more

Porter House is a very cool spot to enjoy yummy Wagyu Filet Mignon, Rib Eye or Chilean Sea Bass with a delicious bottle of wine from their cellar...a great variety of sides...& Joey & Daniel make you feel right at home!

Our evening at Porter House was truly enchanting. Matt, the manager, graciously welcomed us at the front door, setting the tone for an exceptional dining experience. As we stepped into the captivating back patio, a magical oasis unfolded. Under the culinary expertise of Chef Bijan, we indulged in a delightful steak tartare, followed by a main course featuring a perfectly cooked steak paired with corn, bok choy, mushrooms, and Brussels sprouts - a symphony of flavors cooked to perfection. The service was impeccable, and the overall ambiance added a touch of elegance to our memorable evening. Our drinks were incredible and they matched the ambience of this beautiful venue. What a gem for El Segundo, and the entire South Bay. We will be back and are already excited for the next meal. Thank you!!! read more

I was hopeful to find a new steak spot in the South Bay. This one is not it. It wasn't terrible, but definitely not up to the level of their prices. The porterhouse or tomahawk comes in at double the price for a steak of equivalent price at higher end steak houses in LA, and doesn't even touch them in terms of quality. They waygu steaks were decent but the others I would avoid. The salads were underwhelming, same with the dinner rolls. They have a very limited wine selection for a steakhouse but at least offer some decent options. The sea bass was a miss, very bland and without flavor. The horseradish mashed potatoes were bland as well, lacking any taste of horseradish. The execution of service was lacking. Our table had already or nearly finished their main dishes by the time the sides came out. The sides were overall lacking in flavor and just mediocre for the price. Ambiance was decent. Definitely a step up from what is typical of El Segundo dining. Unfortunately the food fails to be up to par. Overall I think you can skip this spot if you are looking for a new place to dine. read more

Ambiance was really nice - very classy/modern place. Lots of interesting drink options. We tried a wagyu steak, bok choy, mashed potato's, crab cakes, sea bass, and 100 grand dessert. I wasn't as impressed with the steak as we hoped/expected for the price. But the sea bass & crab cakes were really good! The 100 grand dessert was supposed to be a homemade version of the candy bar, but they used hazelnuts which I'm not a fan of, so it didn't really replicate the experience for me. The waitress was very attentive...maybe even a little over attentive. Seemed like they had each server keep an eye on only 3 tables a piece, so they were really looking for something to do. At one point our server walked up to our table and moved my glass of water over an inch, then touched my knife to move it an inch, and said "just making sure everything was ok." The one slight detail that didn't go over well was that my wife told the host and manager we were celebrating a special occasion and asked if they could put a candle on the dessert we ordered. They said they'd take care of it but didn't make it happen. Seemed like the manager was a bit more into talking to other guests than ensuring things like that were done. My wife was a bit upset about them missing that detail, but the overall experience was fine. Not sure it'll be a go-to restaurant staple in our rotation (for the price/experience), but worth giving a try. read more

We had a lovely Friday evening dinner at Porterhouse! Everyone was friendly and attentive. Our hostess called and recommended a slightly earlier reservation time to be able to enjoy the full service opportunity. Erin, our server, was friendly and helpful and told us the story behind the restaurant. Jean Francois picked out a lovely 2017 Napa Cab to pair with our 38oz porterhouse. All the food was delicious. Steak temperature was perfect and as requested. The caramel & butterscotch dessert was the best sweet treat to end the night. Thank you! read more

Absolutely obsessed with this place. Growing up in Southbay - the surf, skate, punk mecca - this place represents the SB meets Fine Dining. The esthetics are gorgeous. The food is beyond spectacular. The bartenders are badasses - think Johnny Lydon and Amy Winehouse. Our Server Erin was the epitome of class and grace. Difficult to find this level of service & professionalism in restaurant staff these days. read more

Last night, Tuesday, my wife and I took 2 friends to Porterhouse Restaurant for their first time. A 7:15 reservation we were escorted to our booth immediately. We were promptly given menus and explained about specials for the day. Our food came promptly as did the drinks and we ordered a mixture of Tuesdays pork special, the Wagu burger, and the duck. What we experienced was a delightful array of really good food, very good wine, prompt attention to detail, and excellent service. After being one of its patrons when it first opened more than a year ago, I am happy to announce that if this restaurant continues on its path as shown last night, it will be around for many years to come yet. I am so pleased to see that another restaurant has figured out how to do it right. For the 4 of us the bill per person was $50 each for the food and drinks, $60 each when you add California sales tax, and $70 per person for food, CA sales tax, and 20% tip. So it was a very pleasant well spent dining experience. We all highly recommend this fine place to eat. Richard R read more

Ok, so I hardly give 5 stars . But this steakhouse deserves it. Hubby & I are both steak lover. We wanted to try something new so we cancelled Mastro's (our usual spot) and made our anniversary dinner reservations here instead. We ate at the patio which was picturesque. There was live music (they play tue-thur) and it just went so well with the ambiance. Food was excellent and cooked to perfection. We had 2 types of oysters (fresh & cooked) which was full of flavor, 38oz tomahawk accompanied by some yummy sauce (there's different ones), spinach, mushroom and of course the bread pudding. The service was top notch. Marie was always making sure our table was cleared, drinks were always refilled, and checked on our needs. Matt their manager was the same ensuring we had a great time. This place is definitely a gem and there's a lot of amazing meals & desserts selection to try for our next visit which will bring our kids with us. I think we found ourselves another go to steakhouse. read more
