    Menu is great and they had lots of gluten free and allergy friendly options. The flavours were amazing and it’s such a refreshing change from the same old chain restaurant foods! Will definitely be going back!

    Went for the first time with my girlfriend. Immediately welcomed with open arms and got to sit down right away. Food was good, drinks were even better. The atmosphere was lively and fun! Would go here again to try out some different food items. (Also the interior decor is absolutely gorgeous. I'm kind of a nerd for that stuff and that's why we went in the first place)

    We went to Porch for the first time for my birthday. Great looking restaurant, well-heated and very comfortable. Unfortunately, they had run out of some menu items because they are in the middle of changing the offerings and frustratingly, the waitress failed to notify us about these until after we spent 15 minutes trying to figure out what we were going to order. She did apologize about that, but that was a bit of a miss. That being said, the food we did end up ordering and receiving was fantastic. Great taste and nice portions. We will definitely be back to this restaurant in the future to try some of the things we missed the first time around.

    It was our first time at Porch and I get the hype. The fun vibe is evident as soon as you walk in. Great staff (our server, Tanney, was phenomenal), lots of drink option (including spirit-free) and lots of interesting choices on the menu. Several gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan options available. The GF crostinis are delicious! Highly recommend.

    It was a busy place there at the Porch on Friday night! I made a reservation and the place was hopping so I waited in line for my table, we sat for quite some time, longer than usual as we waited for someone to come and say hello, bring water and maybe take a drink order. When our server finally came over we had our order ready as we didn't want to be waiting to order our food. Based on the length of time it toot to get service. Our server was lovely and we ordered, it seemed again like a rather long time had passed and then a second server came over to take our order, I said we already ordered, she said she'd check on things. Our first server came back to see us and explained that her tablet was broken.. Things finally got sorted, and we were provided with a little extra "shot" which was very kind, then at the end of the meal when the bill came, we were also given some discounts. NICE WORK! This youn lady (Tanny) sorry if I misspelled her name, turnd things around for us and made our evening enjoyable.

    Very happy with our reservation at Porch. The hostess made us feel important from the moment we arrived. Our server, Tannie, was knowledgeable, attentive, and made sure we were happy throughout our meal. We felt special, as always. I recommend the sharing platter of sticks and chops, seasoned and grilled perfectly. The ambiance improves as the sun sets. Porch continues to deliver a great experience!
