Porter’s In The Forest

I have two words for you: come here
This place has a beautiful view, good service and wonderfully flavorful food. On top of all of that, the prices are great! I’ve been here several times now so I’ll share some highlights:
Calamari — not at all greasy, hot and crisp with tasty dipping sauces.
Porters House Salad — with pecans, fresh grapes, bleu cheese and a champagne vinaigrette. I added chicken. It was light and tasty!
Reuben — off the chain good, just get it
Homemade bacon — house cured and smoked, drool worthy.
Gnocchi appetizer — swimming around in butter, I could eat a whole bowl of these.
Afternoon blues (cocktail) — refreshing and delicious!
I look forward to trying the rest of the menu and I’ll be sure to stay tuned for the upcoming launch of their dinner menu!

We were a group of 7 people.
What we ordered:
1. Seafood Rustica: Tangy and Tasteful. Enjoyed it thoroughly.
2. Seafood Special (Prawns) — Sauce was inspiring. Spinach and Parmesan Polenta was flavorful and brought the dish together.
3 Steak: Great taste and cooked perfectly.
4. Gnocchi: Right amount of food. Could be eaten as a main course as well. Well rounded. Highly recommend
5. Pork Chop: Delicate balance of flavor. Cooked perfectly.
6. Bread Pudding — Filling, but great.
Our server, Austin was very attentive and made excellent recommendations and was accommodating with all our requests.
Definitely recommend this place!

GOLF COURSE AT PEBBLE BEACH
I didn’t know picking a place for us to dine for lunch would end up being at a golf course in a gated community costing $ 10 to enter IN PEBBLE BEACH. We made reservations for 1pm and sat outside of the deck to view the golf course. Such a pretty view! Service was poor. We had to call the hostess who served us more than our waiter. The waiter never bothered to deliver my drink sitting on the courier after asking for it TWICE. That should have been scratch off the bill in my opinion!
AFTERNOON BLUES — I think thats what the beverage was called. The taste was refreshing, light, and had no hints of alcohol but indeed there was alcohol in it. Presentation of my drink was simple and elegant. Highly recommend!!!
FRIED ARTICHOKE HEARTS — such a delicious appetizer. Who doesn’t love artichokes!!! The hearts were like buds and deep fried with very thin slices of lemon that happen to also be edible. Never had an appetizer like this before and really enjoyed every bite. If you like the zing of citrus take a bite of the thin sliced deep fried lemons. Highly Recommend!!!
CHICKEN PICCATA — such a delicious meal. The chicken was perfectly prepared. The thin skin was crispy and had great flavor. The breast meat was tender and moist. It was resting on a bed of couscous that was mixed with chopped herbs and olives… So good. And then garnished and topped with spinach and some kind of broccolini. The only thing that I couldn’t consume on the plate was the bitter broccolini; too bitter for my liking. Overall, it was a well executed dish. Presentation was beautiful. Highly recommend!!!
FLANK STEAK WITH FIXINGS — presentation was nice, block of flank steak, greens, and beans that looked like Mac and cheese from across the table. OF MENTIONING… ordered as medium well and came or as well done AKA beef jerky.
Until the next review…
