What a lovely afternoon at the Porch! We arrived as a group of 6 and were seated promptly. Dalton provided excellent service, taking our food orders and answering questions. Every item was cooked perfectly and plated beautifully. We all enjoyed the experience start to finish. We will definitely return and bring friends with us.

Chopped salad and Caesar salad were both very good. Snapper Pontchartrain and the rice that come with it were excellent. Crab cake was good but not as good as it used to be. Disappointed that you don't have decaf coffee.

What a jewel. A light and airy restaurant with excellent food & exemplary service!

Was led to believe they had an Easter brunch or at least something more special. French toast was a bit soggy. The patio was humid and view wasn't worth sitting there.

The owner and management are scammers. My daughter used to be a server there in 2023. She recently received a W2 for almost $1k in wages for 2024 that she has to pay taxes on. She did not work for them at all in 2024. She's a college student and needs her money for school. It appears that they are trying to pass their tax burden on to others any way that they can. Incredibly dishonest business people.

Arrived earlier than our reservation, they were very accommodating and helpful. Carson our server was fantastic!

Sat a nice table and enjoyed the ambiance. I only gave 4 stars because I ordered a sangria, was brought the drink and told they forgot how to make it and can't find a recipe. He gave me one to try which was not great and definitely tasted like a mix of white wine and orange juice. Either way, the food was great, the location is even better.

Highly recommend. A bit off the tourist area but a pleasant alternative to the usual crowds. Food and service has always been exemplary.

Lovely upscale brunch spot off the beaten track. Dining room is bright and airy. Had the delicious french toast. The berry compote was made with real Vermont syrup. That's so hard to find these days!

It's a very upscale, casual place. I felt I had wandered into a yuppie establishment, but the people were nice and the food was good. It is a little expensive .

This is a quaint little cafe with a beach vibe. We had a delicious meal and the service was excellent. We will be going back.

We are residents and have been dying to go here since moving down here. Atmosphere was great and service was great for a Saturday lunch. My complaints are food was mediocre for the price. $25 for a Caesar salad with chicken and it literally had 3 tiny romaine leaves a half a chicken breast and nothing else. I wanted a Bloody Mary and they were out of the mix and it was a brunch Saturday and the skinny margarita was tequila soda with lime. We were very disappointed as we were really looking forward to eating here.Advice is menu could be a little broader for much with more food and better pricing and a bartender that knows how to make a drink.

What a gorgeous and clean restaurant. Calm and elegant. The staff were attentive and polite. My hubby and I enjoyed a quiet date night here. The food is top tier! I had the ceasar salad with shrimp and requested aome feta chesse with it. This delicious recommend has my praises! The women's bathroom after the meal was impeccable with smart large sinks. The only complaint is that the men's bathroom needed some attention the biggest being the state of the toilet paper because it was also near empty and underlying shall we say. You should definitely make "The Porch Cafe" your next dining experience. It's a place where you can actually chat with family or friends around the table with THANKFULLY NO TVs!!!! I LOVE that!. It's a place where you can connect with people.
