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!

Half price cocktails on Monday! Had one with my lunch /- liked the Just Peachy margarita. Had beef skewers entree - were a bit oversalted and not hot. But the house salad, grilled pita and in house made tzatziki sauce were nice. And good service.
