Reatively small menu but dishes we had were very good and easy to do a shareable evening. Service was very attentive and prompt even with a busy Friday evening rush. Will be back.

Pleasantly surprised with the quality and taste of the food. Great atmosphere for a small or large party. Plenty of opportunities for some cool and exciting photos with the way they've organize the interior. Will be back!

Patrick is a gem. Our food was delicious. I love the interesting sides available. Nothing I’d standard or ho-hum. We were there to celebrate our son’s 13th birthday. The ambiance was perfect. We could not have had a better experience.

We went for brunch and had a great time! They have their December advent calendar right now, and we got free drinks! We got the Morta and fried chicken sandwich with parm fries and a house salad and it hit the spot! Super cute place to go for brunch!

Beautiful restaurant when you walk in, especially during the holidays with their decorations. Food was delicious! Our server was excellent. She recommended some great items and knew the menu well. They even had an advent calendar special going on which was a complimentary, featured holiday drink on the day of our reservation. Neat idea! Would highly recommend Porch, given my experience.
