   I had the pleasure of visiting Porch Restaurant again tonight to celebrate my mom's birthday, and as always, it was an outstanding experience.. this is my nth time dining here, and every visit has been consistently wonderful.. the food was as sumptuous as ever, with every dish prepared to perfection.. the ambiance of the place is simply beautiful, charming, warm, and welcoming, making it the perfect setting for a special occasion.. a special mention goes to Kaia, our server and the manager tonight, who truly made the evening unforgettable.. her service was exemplary, she's attentive, friendly, and professional, making sure every need was met with a smile.. the entire team at Porch continues to deliver exceptional service and top-notch dining experiences.. if you're looking for great food, wonderful service, and a beautiful atmosphere, Porch Restaurant never disappoints!

   I went there with a friend to have brunch and some nice conversation. This was at 11 A.M. on a Sunday. There was only one other when we arrived. The music was so loud that we couldn't have a conversation. A service person came around to offer water, and we asked her if there was any chance of the music could be lowered. She said she would ask the bartender. Nothing changed. When our server came around to ask for our order, we told him that we were contemplating going elsewhere because the music was just too loud for conversation. He then spoke to a manager, and sometime later, the music was lowered. I am not sure who it is that wants or needs loud music playing when they're having brunch. In any case, it's not me and I won't return there. As for the food, it was fine. Initially presented without any cutlery so that we had to go away from the table and find someone to bring it to us. The main was quite tasty. The fruit garnish on the plate was past it's best and not at all inviting.  All in all, the food is fine. The service was mediocre. The loud music was offensive.

   Porch is a vibrant, busy, young, loud restaurant. Our group of 4 are in late 40s and early 50s so we are obviously not the target for this place but we enjoyed our evening. The food was amazing - high quality and each dish was as beautiful as it was tasty. Our server Patrick was attentive and helpful, but he also let us have our evening. He gave us great recommendations and service but wasn't intrusive at all. The people watching was fun and entertaining, we laughed a lot and enjoyed our evening overall. Definitely a place to go see and be seen!

   We definitely have to book in advance because it’s very popular over the weekend. But our table was ready early before our reservation. Very nice smooth transition. All around the staff was amazing. Our waitress was incredible. Polite patient very informative. The food came out hot fresh and tasted amazing. It also came out very quickly. Restraunt volume is a little bit loud because of how busy it is, but still was able to enjoy pleasurable conversation at our table. Manager is exceptional and treated us with a little extra special care and attention with it being our anniversary. We’ve gone to the porch for lunch now for dinner and we’ve been told it has brunch. I can only say hats off and a bow to everyone from the kitchen staff all the way out to the restaurant staff top to bottom. Five stars.

    Food was ok, but barbarella/bridgette bar/ten foot Henry much better. Service was very much lacking for cost. Zero attention to our table of 5
