Porter House Bar and Grill, a celebrated establishment located in the Deutsche Bank Center, will close after Labor Day after a notable 19-year history. Despite solid business, rising operational costs outpaced revenue, particularly during lunch hours, leading to the closure. Chef Michael Lomonaco reflects on the bittersweet end, reminiscing about regulars like Anthony Bourdain and expressing gratitude for their loyal customers. While the restaurant's acclaimed wine list faces an uncertain future, Lomonaco cherishes the time spent at Porter House and the vibrant community it fostered.
"You always like to keep going, at least I do. But we had a great 19 years."
"We're doing good business. We're busy. But the overall cost of running this business in this place just got to be too much for the owners."
