   After exploring various options, I ultimately chose to take my best friend to celebrate his birthday in a delightful and unexpected spot. I had never even heard of downtown El Segundo, having spent my entire life in Los Angeles, but what a hidden gem it turned out to be! Upon arriving at Porterhouse Bourbon and Bones right on time for our reservation, we were promptly seated. The restaurant was relatively empty at that moment, but it soon filled up, creating a lively atmosphere. We instantly fell in love with the restaurant's aesthetic, which combined rustic charm with a modern twist, enveloping us in a warm ambiance that set the perfect tone for our celebration. Our server, Alonzo, was a standout; he was not only attentive but also incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, keen on offering insightful recommendations that heightened our dining experience. To start, we chose a mouthwatering array of dishes: a 16 oz ribeye steak, succulent braised oxtails, Caesar’d Brussels sprouts, and crispy fried fingerling potatoes adorned with candied bacon lardons. The ribeye was a feast for the senses—perfectly juicy and bursting with flavor. The braised oxtails were an absolute highlight, tender to the point where my fork effortlessly cut through them; every bite was rich and satisfying. The Brussels sprouts, prepared in a unique way, were a delightful surprise. Instead of the traditional preparation, they were elegantly shaved, tossed in a velvety Caesar dressing, and sprinkled with Parmesan cheese, then topped off with crunchy herbed croutons that added a lovely texture. The fried fingerling potatoes, however, were a bit of a letdown for me; they were just a touch too crunchy for my personal taste. I think I’ll opt for the herbed roasted garlic-infused buttery mashed potatoes next time, which sound much more to my liking. To conclude our marvelous meal, we indulged in a shared dessert: marbled brioche bread pudding. We had a lovely evening and plan to return.

   The food was very good! We had the spicy oysters, lump crab cake, Chilean Sea Bass & New York Strip steak. Service was great. Great place for a date night.

   An exceptional culinary experience awaits you, complemented by an unparalleled ambiance. I highly recommend reserving a seat in the outdoor area to fully immerse yourself in the ambiance.

    Best steakhouse in the South Bay. But the service needs some work. They really try to UPSELL on the food and drinks…especially the drinks. The server constantly asked if we wanted more drinks. We ordered some bottled water and she kept on coming back to top off our glasses, and after emptying out the bottles, would ask if we wanted more. The last round of bottled water, we didn’t want but it showed up anyways. We drank it because we didn’t want to make an issue out of a $20 bottle of water.
