Porterhouse Grill

The Best Chiken Tenders Really Nice And Staff Are Amazing

Food is fabulous, our waiter on top of his game. Had a very good evening at this establishment. Definitely a place that's moneys worth! Highly recommended.

Well presented and tasty food, reasonable drink selection in a convenient location. Friendly and attentive staff.

Delicious food ! Love the pork belly and ribs. Staff are always welcoming and efficient. Lovely warm atmosphere

Had a horrible experience at Porterhouse Grill in Pakuranga.
The venue is lovely- tastefully decorated, very modern, quite cosy and there's a small outdoor area. I liked my first impression.
As we entered we were greeted and seated right away- even without a booking which was great.
We ordered our drinks and meals- entree of scallops and mains of ribs and a chicken burger. The entree came out in a timely manner which again, was great but thats about as good as the experience was.
The scallops arrived- 5 scallops for $17 odd dollars. They were cooked okay but were drenched in a sauce that was strange and didnt suit the scallops. Also came with a side of mesculin. I overlooked this hoping that my main would be better.
After some time our plates and cutlery were cleared ready for main to arrive.
Mains arrived and looked fantastic but as we began to eat it just got worse. The ribs were horrible. They tasted of some wierd plum/jammy flavour, it seemed as though the sauce wasnt reduced enough or the chef hadnt tasted it but it was horrible. Garlic mash was dry and had been sitting a round for a while and didnt taste of garlic.We couldnt eat the ribs which is the absolute first time we have not been able to finish a plate of ribs.
The chicken burger was dry, bun was dry, breast was dry, it lacked flavour and again was horrible. The highlight of the burger was a garlic sauce which was really just a white sauce with a bit of garlic in it- it definitely wasnt worth raving about. The best thing on the burger plate were the chips.
The service was poor- we had to ask for cutlery for our meals, we were never asked if we wanted more drinks or even desert.
Overall I wouldnt recommend this place to anyone. It is pricey, the service lacks and the food is horrible. There are much better places in the area to go to that are more reasonably priced. This place served food worse than pub food.
