Anne Lee was awesome as our waitress. Food was excellent and I've eaten at some the best restaurants in town. Great atmosphere.
We give the Front Porch a
definite 10.

A real hidden treasure! It has a real neighborhood hangout vibe. Great to sit outside on the porch when the weather is good. The menu is way more eclectic than you'd expect- a surprising amount of French dishes. You can get escargot here! The prices are reasonable, the wait staff is always really friendly. We've started coming here regularly, and I've recommended it to everybody.

Went on a Friday evening with a group of friends and family. My wife and I had been there many times before, but it was the first time for some. Everyone enjoyed the food and live music in the outside area. I had the Ahi Tuna Bowl, which was delicious, but I've never been disappointed with anything on the menu. One of my favorite Tampa eateries.
