First experience at Porch and differently won't be my last, service and food was great, nice decor. One minor concern was the heat, the ceiling heaters are in working order for sure, it was a bit toasty.

The mimosa flight was excellent and the tomato soup was delicious. For the avocado toast however I wish the bread was more toasted & that they cut the avocado thinner to layer it on top of the bread rather than slapping it on in big chunks. Aside from that their sandwiches are delicious.

Went on New Years Eve, for a "tasting menu and wine & cocktail pairing". Point form below, but the summary is that this is lounge that is good for beers with your buddies on a summer day. I would never host a client or a corporate night here, this is just simply a glorified pub with a beautiful patio and interior decorating. Initially I felt like I shouldn't post a negative review of this magnitude, but the experience was both expensive and the service was so bad, I felt like I needed to write this.
Pros: - I want to start by saying that the kitchen staff created a beautiful tasting menu, and that the food and atmosphere were both above our expectations. To the Chef who put this together, well done!
Cons: - Server informed us that "wine & cocktail pairing" was not a pair, but in fact, just choose random wines or certain cocktails from a broad list. This is not a pairing, this is just alcohol being served with food. - Upon hearing this we kindly asked to see the wine list. The server informed us that their by the glass list could also be ordered by bottle. Poor wine selections on the by the glass list, but we ordered BTG anyway. By the 4th course we later discovered there was in fact a by the bottle wine list that our server did not offer us. Truly upsetting because the by the glass wines were terrible and I imagine we would have jumped at the opportunity to order anything off the list we did not get offered - We had napkins for 2 of our 5 courses. The server brought them around near the 3rd course. - First course was slammed on our table before we ordered drinks.
I have a few other issues, but no need to go on. I don't place much of the blame on our young server. She definitely slipped up on a few things, but the main issue here is with the GM who organized and managed this "not really pairing event" and inability to prepare bar level servers for a dinner service which they planned.
Again. Bravo to the Kitchen and Interior decorator, but in the future if you plan to host a dinner event, have your chef pair the dishes properly, and prepare your staff for dinner service. It is not the same as beer and appetizer delivery.

I called before we go we were a party of 3, they said they can offer us a space then we got there and the manger placed us at the bar seating promising he will get us a table shortly. 10 minutes passes and no moving happens, I ask again while being aware of the few free tables, yes they might be reserved so I would’ve appreciated if they told us that on the phone. The manger’s attitude was not okay he said he can’t promise if the seating will be a bar seating or a table. It happened that I’m driving and I can’t drink or I just don’t want to. I was the one who suggested the place for my friends to try out and everyone left devastated. I work as a server and I know well how to serve customers and from this experience we were neither served nor communicated with. He wasted my time while would’ve said on the phone. Please start specifying what kind of a seating you’re providing. And lastly I would’ve really appreciated if his attitude was at least okay, the look he gave me just cuz I looked at him waiting to be moved is not acceptable.

Amazing food, great friendly staff always willing to accommodate. We had the braised beef and the lobster gnocchi . If you don't enjoy having so much sauce with your gnocchi, the kitchen will put the sauce on the side for you 😉. The grilled artichoke is an amazing little starter! 2 meals, beverages each came to a total just shy of $80. Worth it!

We were a group of 3 and we called before we came in to check if there were seatings available for us, which we were told there is and no need to book a table. We walk in get seated at the bar which we did not want and we all do not want drinks, and we were told a server will move us in a bit. No one came to move us and when we asked the manager at the door again he said they are short on staff and when a server frees up we MIGHT move. He said he cannot promise us any particular seatings when we call which is not sufficient. His attitude was very rude and we would have understood if he talked in a better manner. Never coming back again.
Marty is an incredible bartender who makes every night unforgettable with his perfect cocktails and welcoming vibe. He brings so much energy and warmth to an already amazing atmosphere—can’t wait to come back for more! Also, manager Kim’s welcoming energy and attention to detail made my first visit unforgettable!

Excellent place to go for dinner. Great food and great atmosphere. I’ve been three times and all three times have been very good. I’ve had the braised short rib, the duck breast and the salami picante pizza, sides I’ve had the parm fries and the Harissa hummus, and for Salad, the kale Caesar, which is fantastic. All have been great. My only criticism is the duck breast was kind of dry for my liking. The atmosphere is always excellent, and the service is always solid.
