Great food and excellent service. The table was a little cramped but overall was fine. Heather was our waitress and was exceptionally wonderful. All the runners and service staff were awesome too. Food was really delicious. Highly recommend Porters for a nice casual dinner atmosphere with yummy food.

From start to finish, our experience at the Sunflower Cafe' was surprisingly satisfying. We were greeted with a smile and seated right on time. The Valentine's day menu was full of delicious choices. Cathy had the filet of sole meuniere, which she said tasted very fresh. I had the cassoulet, which was a HUGE stew with beans, spicy sausage, ham and duck leg confit. For dessert, we shared a scoop of vanilla ice cream drenched in an espresso shot. We even took home a slice of flourless chocolate cake which was still fresh the next day. This was our first time there, but definitely won't be our last!
