Food quality was deemed very good by all diners. I thought portions were a bit small but overall good value. Service (Valencia) was good from start to finish. Liked the wine list. Noise level quite high. Our seeting was in the covered area that would be for outside seating so was a bit cold even with the heaters. Highly recommend Porch. We'll be back.

I absolutely loved this restaurant. I loved the food, the ambience, and the location but my favourite part of it all was having Sharon as our server. She was a bright light with a beautiful soul. Have you ever left a restaurant and hugged your server? Well, that was us tonight. Thank you, Sharon for taking such good care of us. Warmest regards Charlene

Warning for Celiacs: Despite notifying staff of a gluten allergy, provided with gf options (Thank You for your understanding), and selecting accordingly, my wife still got badly dosed. Don't know which specific cross contaminated dish it was, but it was not pleasant.

Our server seemed really distracted, needing reminders for drinks. After getting our food, we gave up and went to the station to ask for much-needed cutlery.

Came to Porch for the first time with a friend visiting from Vancouver. We had a great experience and amazing food. Our Bartender, Dimitry was very warm and friendly. He gave us some good food recommendations and even gave us suggestions and places to check out in Calgary during our stay. We will definitely be back. Thank you!
