Porters

Next to the George boutique hotel in Century Square, Porters is part upscale steakhouse and part high-end bar, but it manages to keep any hint of stuffiness at bay. The room is bright and open, and a Texas bent is evident, from the decor (sturdy wood furnishings) to the kitchen (the oak, mesquite, and hickory used to fire the grill). Both the filet and ribeye, notably distinct in flavor, were exquisite in terms of seasoning and tenderness. The seared Atlantic scallops over risotto were likewise delectable, as were the delicately sweet honey-glazed carrots.
