Arrived on a Thursday night and the place was packed. We came a lot later than usual and it was…read moreHalloween, so that was on us. We sat in a nice waiting room for about a half hour, maybe more, but the folks around us were super nice and we just enjoyed socializing until our table was ready. It was almost as if they were doing seatings because at the same time a number of tables opened up. The hostess was overwhelmingly nice and the waitress was perfect for a local spot. Both were well seasoned and charming. I ordered the Lively Combo which was just about all the seafood lightly fried. Almost a Calabash style. Fish, clams, shrimp and oysters. For the sides I went with green beans and mashed potatoes w/ gravy. Both of which would have been just the way my mom made them. Finally, since that wasn't enough, they lured me into the desserts. There were over a half dozen options and I went with the Lemoncello cake which definitely put me over the edge of awesome. Definitely a recommended home town spot.

The decor is country cozy while the service is very friendly and welcoming. Make sure your entire party is there before you try to get seating- I saw a group have to wait at the bar or on the porch until the rest of their group arrived. The menu is not overwhelming and consisted of some traditional foods that they do well. We enjoyed the rib eye and the boneless pork chop at our table. The baked potato, a trip to the salad bar, the beets, and the boiled cabbage were all part of the variety of sides enjoyed. I loved the salad bar. Everything on the salad bar was very fresh. Dinner was enjoyed with a round of red wine by everyone.

Just come on in and have a seat. We chose the upper seating on the left but a couple tables on the lower right side had folks so they were enjoying themselves. It was light traffic. Didn't know if it was because they recently reopened or because it was early in the middle of the week. Either way, your lose for not being there! The hostess/waitress/bartender did an exceptional job and was very pleasant the entire time we were there. I can't pass up meatloaf on a menu so I had my favorite dish and they did a great job with it. And there was PLENTY to eat from it. Side of mashed potatoes and gravy on everything just hit the spot and screamed "comfort food" on a cool December night. I have to say those green beans were tasty and how often do you say that? All of it was accompanied by a beer from the tap and I just felt like I was home for the holidays!

Also the harbor views were really gorgeous especially at night with the rising moon. Not to mention they have a neat gift shop that keeps going and going further back into the building. We would definitely recommend this to anyone who is local or visiting!

This place seems to fill up, so definitely call ahead! As a first time visitor of the area coming from Vegas, Porters is LOVELY! The food, the lighting, the decor, the service. Truly a gem. His family was excited to bring me, and I see why. Despite being crowded, the servers were spot on with timing and hospitality. The owner even stopped by to say hello and happy holidays. Very attentive staff, and I can't praise them enough. The food was just as great. Meaty crabcakes with little to no filler. I ordered mine atop a salad, which was delicious and fresh. My boyfriend's ribeye was massive and cooked to perfection. Even the rolls for the table were delicious, and we had to bring home the leftovers. If I were a drinker, this would even be a great spot for evening cocktails. Great selection, everything looked great. The smoked old fashions ordered at our table looked wonderful. The hearty entrees didn't even leave room for desserts. It's all worth the price. Upscale dining feel in the charming small town of Gloucester Courthouse.

If you're running late to the movies, You can take your food to the movie theater as well. Price is pretty nominal. They have plenty of parking spots.

The staff is consistently gracious and accommodating, which really sets them apart from other restaurants that seem to dread large parties. Even on a busy Friday night, we were seated in under thirty minutes. Our waiter was friendly, attentive, and handled multiple tables with ease. He stayed on top of our orders and refills, and he took allergies seriously, checking with the kitchen to make sure certain dishes were safe. That level of care is always appreciated. As always, the food was excellent. I usually go for the crabcakes, but this time I tried the special, a crowned salmon, and it was so tasty. They truly do seafood well here, and the portions are always hearty. Every experience here is consistently great. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the manager even stopped by our table to check in, which was a nice touch. I always recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Williamsburg.
