The Porthouse Pub will be opening in July at the former Blackbird restaurant.
New Porterhouse restaurant will be family-friendly
The Porterhouse Pub is moving into the former Blackbird restaurant and dubs itself a family-friendly pub owned by West Seattle resident Silas Reynolds.
Reynolds currently operates another Porterhouse restaurant in Mount Vernon, Wash. He said the West Seattle location will be similar, but catering more to the Seattle clientele.
The Porterhouse Pub will serve 25 beers on tap, including a rotating selection of West Coast ales. Still, it will not be a 21-and-over establishment, and Reynolds said he plans to make it "family-friendly."
"We're trying to get into the neighborhood pub feel," said Reynolds.
Then menu will be similar to the Mount Vernon restaurant which offers a variety of "pub foods" including seafood, steaks, pasta, soups and salads.
Inside the new restaurant, Reynolds wants to include new wood work and warmer colors to create a "cozy" environment. The West Seattle Herald will be posting pictures of the new decor soon.
While he has not set a specific date, Reynolds plans to open the Porthouse Pub in July.

Lucky West Seattle...
Silas Reynolds and his wife are great people and will undoubtably run a great neighborhood gathering place. They both have a number of years of restaurant experience under their belts--Some may remember Silas from Bizarros and Elise worked everything from the bar to waiting tables at Egg Cetera and Blue Star in Wallingford before their move to MV.
West Seattle is lucky to have them, they are kind-hearted and community oriented folks.
I love the The Porterhouse in MV
This is great news! I used to live in Bellingham and would visit the Porterhouse frequently when I was down in MV. Now that I am living in Seattle I am really excited to visit the West Seattle version. Can't wait!
West Seattle Location - Porterhouse
Every night I drive by the Porterhouse and is't absolutely packed for the last two weeks. I hear it's now open for lunch....yeah!
So my mom and I went this week at 5:00 PM for an early dinner. She had the pork chops and said they were devine. I had the Philly's steak sandwich and it was to die for and the fries crisp!
We had a very nice martini as well.
Wait staff very customer service oriented. Chefs worked well together and seemed like they were enjoying themselves as well.
Experience 5 stars!
In the best of times,
In the best of times, stability is a rare commodity in the restaurant business. But Michael Lomonaco is acquainted with the vagaries of fate and misfortune in a unique and visceral way. He was the executive chef at Windows on the World on September 11, 2001, and he survived the World Trade Center attacks only because he stopped off on the way to work to pick up a pair of newly repaired eyeglasses.

Who are we without our family? Life would be much wasted if one doesn't acknowledge his or her family worth and values. I grew up rich in love and good morals of my family doctrines.
