The food at Porter's is excellent. The service was professional. This is the kind of restaurant that Raleigh needs on Hillsborough.
A pleasant evening was ruined by an unpleasant surprise. After our meal, we discovered our car was towed from the lot behind the restaurant!! We parked in a business lot where we were patrons. We were forced to pay $120 to retrieve our legally parked car! The hostess was rude when we asked her to call us a cab.
Porter's wants to attract upscale patrons that can pay their high prices that are more than NC State students can afford. They need to ensure people can park near their restaurant without becoming victims of predatory towing practices.
No one wants to end his or her evening at the impoundment lot. I don't want to reward businesses that set up their their patrons to get towed. I won't be back.
Pros: good food, patio seating
Cons: , $120 towing fees, unhelpful hostess
