Amazing service! The people were very sweet, attentive, and timely. We came in and were seated right away. Definitely recommend coming here!

We wanted to celebrate our anniversary by the river walk but had no definite plans & just wanted to go off vibes. We walked for about a mile, getting turned away from a couple spots due to it being busy. We stumbled across Porter & let me tell you, it’s one of the most underrated restaurants in the city. Lupe, our server was so sweet, helped us make some choices, & even wrote us a card for our anniversary. The food was AMAZING. I’m going to be dreaming of those brussel sprouts. If you stop by in here, I promise you won’t be disappointed.

Very nice atmosphere, not too loud, great view. My server Gavin was incredible. Tip him well if you visit! Made great recommendations and offered advice on the menu. Reasonable prices. All around excellent experience.

I have to say the disappointment in the food in this place was insane…. The crispy shrimp app was amazing. I was so stoked for my food when we got done with that. But when I received my halibut entree I was so disappointed. Severely under-seasoned (salt) . No color on it and overcooked. The broccolini also, missing salt and it was barely charred. I legit feel like I was eating nursing home or hospital food. The person I dined with had the brick chicken. It was slightly better, at least the chicken had color on it and a bit more salt, but still under-seasoned. I suppose I should have verified how the halibut is prepared…but with such a good rating on here, figured it would be good…and especially after the shrimp. The drinks were great. Service was quite good, but when we arrived the person at the host stand barely said anything, no welcome greeting and barely said a word. Server was quick and friendly. Ambience is amazing. While I was very disappointed in my entree, the experience was still a good one. Just will have to ask some questions moving forward if I return…or return my food 🙃

We visited Porter Kitchen and Deck during our vacation and had such a great experience! Our group of 5 had a reservation, and the atmosphere was perfect with a beautiful view of the river running through downtown Chicago. I ordered the crispy shrimp appetizer and the lobster roll for my entrée—both were very good. Overall, the food, views, and experience made this a spot I’d definitely recommend.
