I enjoyed the food but they need improvements on the ambiance. The moment you enter you feel like you entered a very basic restaurant, they don't give high end vibes, no attention to details. The menu us well diverse, food was delicious and served quickly, very tasty complimentary bread & butter served. Quality of meat is good, not the best but for the price its fair. The caramelized onion in the Sandu should be revised, its over effecting the taste of beef. But honestly the food was great, they just need a full redecorating and rebranding. When you pay 1100 for 3 pax, you expect a full extraordinary experience not just good food. Our waiter was superb. Edit: Tarek from management thankfully called and promised to work on the remarks. Keep it up👍 Nice place. The service is nice, and the atmosphere is also nice. We came here and got steak, bone marrow, sweet potato, and cheesecake. We loved the steak, but personally I did not like the bine marrow.. it’s an acquired taste. We also loved the sweet potato it was soft on the inside, and crunchy on the outside. It came with different sauces like hollandaise, mint, , bbq, and more… they brought butter as a candle shape which was nice and creative. I went to Porter House with my wife and baby, and to my absolute shock, the reception told us that babies are not allowed inside after 7 PM. What kind of ridiculous policy is that? When I asked for an explanation, the receptionist simply said it was “management policy” and that we would have to sit outside. I agreed, thinking at least they could provide a baby chair outdoors — but the waiter politely apologized and said the restaurant doesn’t have baby chairs for outdoor seating. So basically, Porter House makes it very clear that babies are not welcome there at all. Honestly, what kind of restaurant in the world doesn’t allow babies? As for the food — I wouldn’t recommend it to my worst enemy. I ordered the Porter steak, bone marrow, and French fries. The quality was terrible, absolutely not worth the price or reputation. The only positive part of the experience was the waiter’s service; he was polite and apologetic despite the restaurant’s awful policies and food. Overall, this was one of the most disappointing dining experiences I’ve ever had. Families, don’t even think about coming here.

The restaurant is nice. I tried some dishes, but it is considered the best steak restaurant in Riyadh. I recommend it. The staff are friendly, but you will find it difficult to find parking spaces.

The restaurant specialises in high end steaks. But the real stars of the show were actually the side dishes and appetisers. Steaks were okay BUT not at par with the prices you pay which is expensive. The side items like bone marrow, mac and cheese and onion soup were great. Steaks were a bit disappointing specially the fillet. Service is good and staff is attentive. We all had mixed feeling because we enjoyed the whole experience so much until the meat , which was what we came for, was served!!
