   Another great meal and experience at The Porter’s House. Thank you, Eddie, for perfect recs and service. Nate & Nelson offered great advice & perfect cocktails (as usual). High praise for the dry aged steak (and cheesecake & carrot cake). We will be back!

   We had the most incredible time celebrating our two year anniversary here! From the moment we stepped in the door everyone made us feel like family. Our food was delicious and our server made us feel right at home. We are so grateful to come back year after year to this outstanding restaurant, which we now deservedly refer to as our favorite in Charlotte!

   Service was okay. Food is overpriced for what it is.

   The food was very good. I had the salmon and my husband had a steak. Everyone was pleased with their food. We had a small room to ourselves so it was easy to talk and enjoy the meal. Eddie was very attentive and did a great job.

   Our server, Cassius, was one of the best fine dining servers we have ever had. He made sure we were happy without hovering. Courteous, respectful, and kind, he knew the menu extensively. He made dinner even more special. L' ecole Chard is not particularly high end; in fact none of their wines are. But it was lovely. Also, don't look for bottles of wine on the menu. None. The brie walnut appetizer with jam and French bread was exquisite. The balance of sweet and spice was perfect. I had the scallops with white bean spinach ragout. The scallops were (thankfully) prepared with an expert hand. The combination of flavors in the dish was well thought out and perfectly executed. The fennel slaw gave a nice little pop of crunch in a otherwise soft, creamy entree. I have enough for lunch today. My husband had the halibut, and ate every bite. He is not a foodcentric man, so this spoke volumes about his entree. We brought home specialty cheesecake, which I tasted for this review. It is a decadent chocolate, and lovingly hand made where all of the Dressler family desserts are, by chefs who knows their craft. The drawback: It's loud! We were surprised at the noise level when we entered. The dining room is small and open, and 3 large parties dominated the center tables of the space. One had 2 toddlers, who, before the entrees even arrived, were chasing each other around the table with extremely high pitched, 80 decibel screams. This was the one and only negative thing, and was beyond staff control. But open concepts in spall spaces are loud by nature. Not at all romantic. So, be aware that you need to keep voices raised for your entire experience here. Overall, a delicious dinner we would gladly have again. Early. On a weekday.

   One of our favorite restaurants. Always great service; we usually sit at a high top in the bar. Food and drinks are consistently good. Love the location as we don't have many "nice" restaurants close to Union county.
