    Seated 15mins after reservation, which was good as it was a crowded Christmas night. Live music. Very loud and energetic atmosphere. Good food, good service. Would definitely recommend.

    Double celebration of Christmas Day and birthday dinner. We wanted a good beef dinner for Christmas Day and Porterhouse did not disappoint. Greeted warmly by the hostess. Ambiance was nice and cozy in the little alcove. Bruno came by to say “hello” to our birthday girl. Her family are frequent diners of Porterhouse. Food, wine and beer selections were great. Service by Kayla during our dinner was superb. We very much enjoyed our filet mignon, porterhouse and prime rib! Will be back when we want an excellent quality beef dinner.

    Just my wife and I enjoying Christmas Eve dinner before leaving town for the holidays. Seated immediately, our server was with us within a few minutes. The pacing of the food was excellent. Never felt rushed. We hadn't been to the restaurant in a couple of years and the prices had gone up exponentially, but I guess that's par for the course. One appetizer, a salad, two entrees, a desert to share, and four alcoholic beverages came out to $224.We enjoyed our night; the food was delicious and were out the door in 90 minutes. As an added bonus, we left satisfied but not stuffed.

    We have been celebrating Xmas Eve and other special family occasions at Harris for more years than I can remember. We do do because the food, service and ambiance are uniformly excellent. It is my favorite restaurant in SF.
