The Front Porch - San FranciscoBirthday on the PorchI have been to the Front Porch twice before, and this time was just as good as the first two. In celebration of my boyfriend's birthday, we wanted to find a quiet but interesting restaurant with great food and good service. We found all of the above at the Front Porch. It was a Monday night, so although it wasn't at all empty, it was quiet and I loved that. The servers were very attentive and the manager came out to ask us about our food, which was super delicious and fresh tasting. At the end of the night, it started to get late, but we never felt rushed to leave, which I've encountered before at small restaurants. It was a perfect, intimate dining experience and we had plenty to take home.4/29/2013 12:00:00 AMTotally Rocked by the Front Porch!The most amazing meal I've had in a long, long time. A Whistling Pig rye whisky old fashioned started the meal and was, without reservation, the best of that cocktail I've had at a restaurant. The bacon wrapped dates appetizer where utterly sublime. My colleague had the crab and grits and it was awesome. I selected the Dr. Pepper braised short ribs, and they where beyond reproach. The Butterscotch Puddin' that ended the meal simply capped one of the fines gastronomic dalliances I've enjoyed in many a month. I couldn't recommend this restaurant more highly if I owned it! What a Funky delight! , From the unusual decor to the close seating, and from the creative menu to the superb service, all I can say is BRAVO!!4/25/2013 12:00:00 AMFun nightWe went with group of 8 and and a great time.

I ordered the mac and cheese, which I would not order again as I thought it was way too salty...and I love salt! However, I tried all of my friends dishes and the fried chicken and fried okra were the standouts!3/15/2013 12:00:00 AMLove the ambiance, fried chicken,Love the ambiance, fried chicken, cocktails, friendly service, crab and grits and the butterscotch pudding!3/14/2013 12:00:00 AM
