Porter
Location: Weehawken, New Jersey
Porter, a modern American gastropub offering seasonally-inspired dishes and signature cocktails, is now open on the ground level of the RiverHouse 11 at Port Imperial, a luxury residential community in Weehawken, New Jersey. It is the debut concept from co-chefs Christopher Lim and Tara Glick, who met at Marc Forgione's American Cut in Atlantic City.
Designed by Callison RTKL and Davella Studios, Porter boasts a cozy, open dining area with edge wood tables and a view of the kitchen. The dining area features a wood-burning pizza oven from Italy, as well as a charcoal-burning Spanish oven.
The mood lighting of the bar provides a warm and elegant experience. The new restaurant also includes Porter Provisions, an in-house cafe and bakery that showcases Chef Glick's house-made pastries and ice cream and serves La Colombe coffee.
"Tara and I are beyond excited to have the opportunity to join this very special community and offer our customers a unique dining experience. We are passionate about bringing people together through the finest ingredients and creative culinary experiences.” - Executive Chef Christopher Lim.
