BUTTON DOWN SHIRT AND SLACKS IS FINE...NO BLAZER....THAT WOULD BE OVERDRESSING

2/14/2006 9:10:15 AM

nice, thanx guys

when my bf and i went there the other week there were people dressed up in many different ways...i was wearing jeans, a dressy sweater, and heels. he wore a short sleeved polo and jeans. some girls were wearing dressy halter tops and slacks or skirts...some were wearing fun dresses (but nothing fancy). i don't think i saw a single man wearing a tie there...mainly just collared shirts or a nice sweater with khakis or nice jeans (nothing hole-y). one man was even wearing a baseball cap.

aight, i'm gonna do a nice pair of khakis, button down shirt, and some nice shoes, i figured it might be a lil more dressy since it's valentine's day.

2/14/2006 9:16:56 AM

that's what roomates/friends are for

2/14/2006 9:27:34 AM

my roomate is a lil bit bigger than me i'll see what i can do tho

2/14/2006 9:31:33 AM

I would a tie there... didn't feel out of place at all

2/14/2006 9:31:57 AM

Porter's isn't fancy, it's pretentious. Dress how you want and try not to confuse the two.

The only way to overdress is to walk into the Jackpot with a tux on. Otherwise, you just look better than everyone else.

Get the oysters. After all, it's v-day and they are fucking amazing.

Porters is great. It's the sort of place where you can be comfortable in everything from a rugby and jeans to a suit and tie.

yea no shit, if you wanted to take her somewhere for valentine's you shoulda gone to the place to the left of Porter's

i used to go to porter's to get smashed when I had an hour break in between classes, i mean jesus

2/14/2006 11:50:14 AM

^The place next to Porter's is Fraizer's.

2/14/2006 11:56:08 AM

you can wear flip flops and jeans at porter's

it aint that nice

2/14/2006 12:08:21 PM

wear a blazer

you're old and mature enough now such that wearing a blazer is appropriate for most situations--and where its seemingy not appropriate, no big deal.

its always better to be slightly overdressed than slightly underdressed. always.

2/14/2006 12:23:34 PM

EL RODEO GONNA PICK UP THE SLACK AND RUN WITH IT

2/14/2006 3:15:10 PM

RIGHT TO THE BAÑOS

2/14/2006 3:22:35 PM

The only time I've been there I wore a scarface tshirt, prolly would have felt out of place if I had any sense

2/14/2006 6:16:48 PM

wear whatever at porter's. but do eat the tempura green beans (appetizer) and the blue-cheese mac and cheese (side dish). the lamb is pretty good too.

2/14/2006 6:39:48 PM

if you can each get entree's an app and a beer each and your bill is under $100

then they prob dont care how you dress

2/14/2006 7:30:21 PM

Wear a t-shirt and jeans. If anyone gives you shit, spit in their face.

Seriously.

2/14/2006 7:37:11 PM

You all don't know shit about shrimp and grits

2/14/2006 8:51:13 PM

man, that food was good

^^^ can't drink legally yet.

2/14/2006 10:30:28 PM

I'd feel a little out of place in a t-shirt, but anything beyond that and you're good. Jeans no problem.

But, since you've apparently already gone, you know that now.

only if you want it in the butt

2/14/2006 11:58:21 PM

^ i saw a dude there in a blazer. no problems, and i don't want it in the butt not my style

2/15/2006 9:38:23 AM

Shit, I wore a blazer to the saucer on monday.

a blazer doesn't necessarily mean you're that dressed up.

Also, Jay Davis carded me when I got there.

2/15/2006 9:43:14 AM

WAS JAY DAVIS WEARING A BLAZER?

2/15/2006 10:08:55 AM

mmm, went to Sullivan's Steakhouse last night...I dare to say the filet there is better than Angus Barn

2/15/2006 10:11:53 AM

I'VE NEVER EATEN DINNER THERE ONLY APPS AND DRINKS BUT I HAVE HEARD FROM MANY THAT THEIR STEAK IS THE BEST
