As usual, Porcini’s doesn’t disappoint. The food was yummy. We had the artichoke appetizer that I could make a meal on. So good. Thank you. Ps. I left my credit card behind. I wasn’t gone 5 minutes and they called. Great service.

We didn’t enjoy our dinner at all! My husband order a center cut filet he thought but was served a knuckle! I order a chicken dish and it had some kind of over powering spice that didn’t taste so good! Didn’t care for our waitress and asked for a manger who was too busy to come to us until about 15-20mins later. Needless to say my husband didn’t eat and I didn’t eat all of my because it was terrible, we probably won’t be back anymore. So sad.
