This was my first time at the restaurant after hearing so many good things, so I decided to give it a try for brunch with my friends. Unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment.

We were a large group of ten for my bachelorette party on June 1st and we had an AMAZING dinner at Porch. I am so glad we chose to come here. The food was incredible, I had the Wild Mushroom Pappardelle and it was to die for, I am still thinking about it! The drinks were also so refreshing and unique! Our waiter, whose name I forget (sorry!) was attentive, fast and very helpful! The Manager came to our table and gave me and my Mom a complimentary glass of champagne too! 10/10!...read full review

PORCH offers a lively patio vibe with a fun atmosphere. The menu features flavorful dishes such as Hummus Harissa, beet salad, Greek salad with falafel, pizza, and pasta. The place is known for its good service, extensive wine list, and outstanding cocktails, making for a memorable dining experience. Visitors enjoy the overall vibe, especially the swings that add a playful touch. The restaurant has a beautiful appearance and a cozy yet lively porch atmosphere enhanced by lighting and trees. The staff is friendly and attentive, with servers like Tanny providing excellent service, being very personable and attentive to guests. The menu includes crispy pizzas and lobster gnocchi, which are highly recommended. While some dishes like sliders with curry sauce may not suit everyone, dishes such as Greek fries and chicken gyro are popular choices. Some recent diners found that some dishes, like avocado toast, could be a bit too mushy or tart for their taste, but overall, the fun vibes, great drinks, and friendly service make PORCH a place worth visiting.
