    Our server was great. I wouldn’t order the Harvest Bowl again. The presentation was so so. The veggies chopped in too small of pieces. The chicken pieces were very dry, but our server had it replaced and that was great. Burgers others had were very good. Pasta dish wouldn’t be ordered again. Probably better to stick with meat/fish entrees. Love the place, great ambience.

    Our servicer was amazing, great food suggestions. I ordered soup and sausage apricot combo, both were very flavorful. Perfect portion sizes. Loved it. Was a client luncheon.

    Lovely dinner out with a friend. We shared a flatbread and a sandwich. Service was friendly, but a bit slow, they were clearly busy. Sat out on the four season porch area, the ambience was lovely.

    Porter Creek is such a great place. The ambience is lovely, it smells fantastic, and the food is delicious. This last visit we had Amy as a server and she was such a delight. We will definitely bring more friends and family here again!

    The only "complaint" I have is that the drinks are a little weak.

    This wasn’t one of our better visits to Porter Creek. The food was just average this time (bone in pork chop for both of us) and our daughter didn’t like her Mediterranean Salad. The service was average as well which isn’t normal for our visits there. Hopefully just a blip on the radar screen.

    We enjoyed our meal. Our server did not refill my water after I asked, so we had to ask the manager for assistance as we couldn't find the server. He forgot my friend's drink and then brought me the wrong dessert, but quickly corrected and left the first dessert for us to enjoy. I am not sure if he was overwhelmed or not paying close enough attention.
