Reviews Summary
Porterhouse Steaks is lauded for its exceptional steaks and attentive service, creating a memorable fine dining experience. The restaurant's tropical forest ambiance is a significant draw. However, some diners find the prices high relative to portion sizes and note inconsistencies in side dishes and appetizers.
"Everything is perfect. Especially steak is really amazing. Only thing that considering is the cost. But have value to visit certainly. Strongly recommend restaurant"

"Possibly the best restaurant in Managua. The steaks were incredible. The crab dip and churro dessert were delicious. Just great all around."

"Amazing restaurant. 5 star steakhouse. From the moment we walked in until we left, the staff was very professional and attentive. The food was excellent. We ordered the shrimp and crab dip for an appetizer, and it was superb. My churrasco was so flavorful and perfectly cooked. My brother's Vacio was also great. The only thing I did not like and would not recommend was the Sangria. It's not a good sangria, in my opinion. It's an upscale restaurant, so be ready to spend about $20-30 per person. The restaurant decor is truly beautiful. All wood, and it feels like you're in the middle of a tropical forest. They have outdoor seating and A/C inside seating. We chose a/c since we're used to it. Every single time I walked out of the inside room, the staff would open the door. Now that's great service. Everyone I spoke to was extremely nice and professional. One important thing that I recommend is making sure of the transportation. If you have your own vehicle, then there's no problem. They have plenty of parking. If you are thinking of taking a taxi, getting there is not a problem. But trying to find a taxi on the way out in Carretera Masaya is nearly impossible, especially when it gets dark. I had a horrible time trying to find transportation to take me back to my destination. Other than that, the restaurant experience was amazing. I highly recommend it. It is one of the best restaurants in Managua."

Healthy Guide to MANAGUA
PORTERHOUSE and DON CANDIDO – My two favorite steakhouses in Managua that also offer lighter fish/seafood options and vegetable sides. I’m joining these two as their pros and cons are similar. Both offer a consistent menu with good grass-fed local steak options (in Don Candido, they also offer non-local, so be sure to ask which cuts of meat are grass-fed) and they offer some yummy vegetable sides.

Located on the Carretera to Masaya, this restaurant offers some of the best meat cuts in the country!. Atmosphere is very relaxing and pleasant, with two settings, an outdoor terrace and an indoor, air-conditioned salon. The outdoor terrace offers a very green setting and is superb for dinning.
