Had the most incredible dinner at Porch last night with my parents, and as always, it did not disappoint. From the moment we walked in, the energy was vibrant, the staff were welcoming, and the atmosphere made us feel right at home. The food? Next level. Every dish was packed with flavour, fresh, and beautifully presented. You can truly taste the care that goes into every bite. It’s no surprise this place has become one of our all-time favourite spots—we’re never left anything less than impressed. Whether you’re going for a family dinner, a date night, or just to treat yourself, Porch nails it every time. Can’t wait to come back—again and again

I loved the idea of this beautiful Mother’s Day brunch buffet and the vision was there but it wasn’t fully executed. By the time we arrived they were out of crab legs, oysters and macrons which didn’t feel fair since we paid full price. The food that was available was really good. The service was the worst part unfortunately and I’ve been to porch a number of times and I know this isn’t typical of the restaurant, I’ve always had 5 star service and food. It was a little disappointing for how much we paid.
