Scouting report: J. Roberts serves 6-course value
Updates to the exterior and a basic interior face-lift have given J. Roberts Porterhouse a slightly more modern feel than its predecessor on Layton Avenue, but the new owners have retained a similar menu and supper club-type atmosphere. The largest change is in the premise of the dining experience, which has evolved into a multi-course dining concept with emphasis on value.
