    We have eaten here many times but usually for brunch! Excellent menu for New Year’s Eve. Server was a little overwhelmed but handled it well. We will definitely return in the near future!

    Food delicious. I asked that my bacon be “extra crispy”. So I was a little disappointed. Also, I had to ask for jam for the toast. Small details. Stilll a wonderful meal.

    Our experience for a party of seven was excellent ! The reopening of this east end bistro has exceeded our expectations . From a remodeled interior to a revamped menu and especially the attentive service The Porch has transformed itself into a worthwhile dining destination . The limited menu allows the staff to focus and deliver ! While I miss the former Chef Sean's incomparable jalapeño grits and Lamb lollipops , the menu has a very credible risotto and pasta dish, also a salad array and hamburger for the less adventuress . Nice limited selection of wine at reasonable prices . Affogato for dessert and it makes for a great dining experience . The fact that The Porch owner Tofigh Shirazi was eating there while we were there tells me that he in vested in making certain that this relaunch keeps its focus ! We will return, easy if you live on East End ,worth the trip if you are traveling from elsewhere !

    Portions are smaller now but cost more. The Pasta Carbonara had a little too much pepper. However, the staff were all wonderful.
