We made reservations for my girlfriend's birthday. Reservation was late, granted, 8:45 p.m. Upon entering we were greeted promptly and the gentleman was great, very attentive. Once we were seated though we sat for about 10 minutes as we watched the servers walk around us, then finally we received some bread and 4 good spreads. We then sat again, short time until our server came and explained the prix fix menu. The food came shortly afterwards and the quality was very good. The side dishes were good, but the quantity for steak house standards were small. The steak was very good and prepared perfectly. The desserts were very good, the Lava Chocolate cake, recommended by the server was particlularily good. For birthdays, there were others going on they serve a sprial of cotton candy that was very cool. I would describe the experience as sufficient as a whole. I would recommend that eating here would be best from 6-8 p.m. It seemed that the lateness had an affect on the atmoshpere and the overall service. It was good, I would look around before returning.

If this is prime beef than I prefer select beef, it is not a good steak house, no seasoning, you might think it is a good deal for a three course meal but it is not.
Spend another ten bucks and eat some where real good.

Without question the Porterhouse Bistro's Prix Fixe is the best value in Beverly Hills, and probably in Los Angeles. The service, from Maitre 'D to server to bus boy, is exceptionally friendly and efficient. The hosts, in particular, thankfully lack the oppressive attitude of other high end Beverly Hills steakhouses on N. Canon Dr. north of Wilshire on the East side of the street that I will not mention.

The steaks are delicious and well prepared, the sides are small but tasty, and the chocolate lava cake in particular is dynamite.

Figuring that appetizer, salad, entree, sides, dessert, and two drinks puts you at $40 there is no reason (outside of vegetarianism) not to give it a shot.

As a bonus they have a reasonable corkage fee and provide decanters and crystal glassware often without request.

The prix fix menu is a great idea and a great deal...
The appetizers were a little bit small but we had a quiet romantic evening in this restaurant. We had to wait because our table wasn t ready but the staff was courteous.
We ll recommend to make reservation.

great steak and side dishes (mashed potatoes and porterhouse fries especially ), delicious dessert, friendly service, cozy atmosphere, casual dining... their prix-fixe menu is very reasonably priced and every dinner ends with a beautiful and delicious cotton candy concotion around a glowing candle.
