We arrived in Boston ( unbeknownst to us) on the night of the Bruins last home game of the season and were staying near the Garden so every restaurant was mad busy. It was also incredibly cold/windy so by the time we dashed into Porter's we were shivering and hungry and exhausted. The place was full of Bruins fans but the front door staff told us it'd only be about a 20 minute wait. Good! After putting our name in the host heard me tell my husband I'd love a cup of hot tea. He immediately offered to brew ne a cup! Such a sweet and kind man! While we waited and drank tea we chatted with the front doorman. He was kind and fun to talk with as he helped others also running in to get some food and warmth. As promised our table opened up after about 20 mins. We had the steak tips (DELICIOUS!) and my husband who has Celiac had an amazing pizza on a gluten-free crust. Our server was a sweetheart as was everyone even though they were crazy busy. The host stopped by to make sure all was well and chat for a second. Not sure which we found more appealing, the overall feeling of welcome and kindness or our dinner but both were 5+ stars!

Staff seemed knowledgeable but completely ignored any comments on separate pan or shared spaces, so definitely not celiac friendly.

This place was amazing!!! I Had the cheeseburger gf pizza and not only was it delicious, the chef made sure that there was no cross contamination - not only on the crust but also from any of the other ingredients on the pizza. So good!!! Very attentive staff and the pizza was amongst the best I've ever had!!!

I'm not Celiac, just GI. Ordered a buffalo chicken gluten-free crust pizza. Was pleasantly surprised to see no breading on the chicken, but chicken was still tossed in buffalo sauce. No belly issues afterward either - very happy with my meal and would definitely go back if I'm in the city again.
