A little too loud and you could definitely get new steak knives since it was difficult to cut the steaks

Porfirio’s was an amazing experience. The service was great- everyone was very attentive to our needs and we had a very large party. The food was amazing. We were impressed with the quality of food and not super expensive. The ambiance was very upbeat, loud music but good music. We will definitely recommend this place to others and we’ll definitely be back!

About the restaurant

This beautiful, upscale restaurant is one of the establishments that will surely meet and exceed the expectations of a discerning public seeking a truly exceptional dining experience.

However what really characterizes Harry's beyond its beauty and location, is the extraordinary high quality of its gastronomic offer. The kitchen specializes in the very reduced use of condiments, the purpose is to allow the natural flavors of the ingredients to be used flourish.

Harry's Prime Steakhouse & Raw Bar is the best place to enjoy that special occasion. From its beautiful architecture, sophisticated ambience and artistic cuisine to the extensive wine list and impeccable service will make it memorable.
