"I took myself and my mother to Finn and Porter for a Mother's Day Brunch. It was so amazing. I could not have asked for a better time. The staff was so helpful and attended to all our needs. I will be returning for sure."

"I was disappointed with their Mother's Day Brunch. I thought this would be elegant and on the level of a four star setting. It was one level above Golden Coral. There was no dress code established, kids were running around the place, and they had booths like a diner. The desserta were picked up from the local grocery frozen food session. If you want high class do not go, if you want affordable and nothing more then this is the place for you."

"Decided to try this place for my sisters birthday. Sevice, while polite, was slow. Kitchen inconsistent. Three steaks ordered - strip steak had no flavor, rib eye over cooked and porterhouse special was just tough. Thankful that the other stuff turned out ok. Staff tried heartily, but place is not a recommended steakhouse."

"The food was delicious. The service was terrible. We had to wait for 20 minutes for someone to take our drink order. Our server forgot to put in part of our order so the food took a while to be complete. We sat around with empty glasses and plates for too long. The restaurant wasn't busy at the time. It was only 6 p.m. when we got there. We were really disappointed because we were there to celebrate Valentine's Day."
