I made a reservation and was promptly seated. My group chose the Christmas Buffet, which was fantastic. It featured breakfast items, prime rib, a variety of Mexican dishes, an omelet station, a dessert bar, champagne with orange juice, and an abundance of desserts, including a waffle station. Everything was well-coordinated, and our server Daniel provided outstanding service. A perfect option for those that don't want to cook.

Dining at Porters made our Christmas special. The food was delicious. The service was excellent and the ambiance was warm and welcoming. I liked that the room was busy and full of customers, but the noise level was quiet and for me I would rate it perfect. I would be very happy to return to Porters again. Thank you to everyone who made Christmas happy for us.
