    We were greeted warmly and given an option for seating. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable, and gave us a chance to make our decisions. The food was absolutely fantastic, beautiful flavours and cooked to perfection! The kale salad was the best I have ever had. Also, we felt that it was amazing lunch value, we left feeling very satisfied. I would not hesitate to recommend The Porch to all of my friends and I cannot wait to return.

    I went there with a friend to have brunch and some nice conversation. This was at 11 A.M. on a Sunday. There was only one other when we arrived. The music was so loud that we couldn't have a conversation. A service person came around to offer water, and we asked her if there was any chance of the music could be lowered. She said she would ask the bartender. Nothing changed. When our server came around to ask for our order, we told him that we were contemplating going elsewhere because the music was just too loud for conversation. He then spoke to a manager, and sometime later, the music was lowered. I am not sure who it is that wants or needs loud music playing when they're having brunch. In any case, it's not me and I won't return there. As for the food, it was fine. Initially presented without any cutlery so that we had to go away from the table and find someone to bring it to us. The main was quite tasty. The fruit garnish on the plate was past it's best and not at all inviting.  All in all, the food is fine. The service was mediocre. The loud music was offensive.

    Porch is a vibrant, busy, young, loud restaurant. Our group of 4 are in late 40s and early 50s so we are obviously not the target for this place but we enjoyed our evening. The food was amazing - high quality and each dish was as beautiful as it was tasty. Our server Patrick was attentive and helpful, but he also let us have our evening. He gave us great recommendations and service but wasn't intrusive at all. The people watching was fun and entertaining, we laughed a lot and enjoyed our evening overall. Definitely a place to go see and be seen!
