      Great place to hang out with friends or casual date, especially with good weather.

      Food: Lamb chops were well seasoned and charred beautifully, unfortunately one was a bit overcooked. Pork souvlaki was just average, hero being the pita. Pasta was unfortunately bland.

      Service: Excellent. Patio spot opened and the host voluntarily offered it to us. Server was attentive and friendly. Even apologized for a fly in the water. Poor fly.

      Atmosphere: Very lively. Feels like you are at a celebrity's patio party. Everyone seems like they are having a good time.

      Value: Fair. Food is decent but you are sure to have a good night here with friends.

      Dish
      Korean Fried chicken
      Falafel

      Pros
      Nice staff
      Unique and nice ambience
      All styles of seating available
      Roomy bar area
      Nice crisp and flavor on the wings
      Meat fall off the bone in wings
      Naan was good along with dressing in falafel plate
      Falafel had good amount of herbs inside

      Cons
      Falafel needs salt and seasoning
      Chicken wings were overcooked and dry
      Restroom needed a little TLC
      BE PREPARED TO WAIT

      Love the ambiance and the atmosphere here. Great place for small bites and drinks with friends or date night. The food is not flavorful but it's not horrible either. Staff is professional but will not go out there way to be friend. Restaurant is busy and the service is very slow. Suggest you have small bites here and drinks which come out quick.

      I came around 9:30pm on a Thursday with a group of 4 and we were seated immediately. Luckily we made it in time to order food, as the last orders are taken at 9:45.

      I tried the lemon pepper chips (good), KFC (very good), porch burger (okay), and mushroom pasta (very good).

      The server was nice, but very busy and didn't really check on us. We needed more water and had to wait a really long time and also waited maybe 20 minutes to get the check.

      The atmosphere was beautiful, very pretty and photogenic place. It was extremely loud inside and difficult to hear normal conversation.

      The restaurant ambiance and aesthetic was amazing. It's initially what attracted my friends and I to the restaurant. However, the food and drinks were okay. We ordered the kfc wings, Greek street cart fries, and kale Caesar salad. They have a wide selection of food on their happy hour menu however they only had 2 cocktails for the drinks portion of the menu. Overall, the vibe is great and I might need to try more things on the menu to get a better read.

      My husband and I just went here yesterday, and surprisingly, it was good. I thought this place would be overpriced, but it was reasonable. We were lucky enough to get a patio seat and could people-watch. I don't drink, and what I liked about Porch was the good selection of mocktails, and the one I ordered was tasty. My husband and I split the hummus, and I ordered the burger. The burger was okay, but the side Caesar salad I got was good, especially their homemade croutons. This is definitely a place I would come back to.

      My wife and I went here for a late afternoon bite, we did not wait long until we were helped and seated, menus and water were provided by our server very quickly.

      We decided to have the small plates, less expensive smaller portion of items from the main menu. my wife had the Double Cheeseburger Slider and we shared the Lemon Pepper Chips (with dip) both from the $5 side. I had the Chicken Gyro prices at $7.
      The chips came first, and were crunchy, tasty and delicious with the large amount of dip you get with the plate. sorry for the photo, you get much more chips than that, there were enough for two people to share.

      Looking at the rest of the menu, it seems to offer the usual staples that you can find downtown at the same prices. They have quite a list of specialty cocktails, but be prepared to pay a premium price for them. Though from what we saw from our table, looked quite delicious and interesting.

      The slider was very tasty, my wife enjoyed it, she let me have a taste, very delicious, beautifully grilled, there are two patties smashed thin, bun was nice and soft. Though I found the patties were a touch on the dryer side for my liking, the bite I had was still a very good burger.

      I had the Chicken Gyro, the wrap was soft, the chicken had a nice char to it, onions and tomato, the ratio is more meat than veggies, sauce was just the right amount. This dish was neither dry nor swimming in sauce.

      We sent some time there playing a game of cribbage, and did not feel rushed by the staff (we were there after 2:30).

      The restaurant was clean, airy and very fun, and it was quite a surprise to find swings at one side of the bar, though this I will leave to younger or braver people at the bar. It is very open, though broken into quite a few small sections that isolate groups from everyone else.

      We are looking forward to visiting Porch again in the near future.

      Incredible ambiance from the moment you step foot in the door. Fresh, bright, open inside with multiple seating arrangements that give totally different vibes.

      Food was delicious all around. What we ordered is below but from what we could tell, you can't really go wrong.

      Apps -- Hummus, Calamari, Korean Wings, Truffle Fries, Lemon & Pepper Chips
      Entree -- 6 oz sirloin with Pommes frites and butter garlic prawns
      Drinks -- "Red pill" booze bag

      Hong was a phenomenal server. Prompt, attentive, and personable.

      Go for the Haply Hour Specials! Really great HH prices on food and drinks. The vibe is peak hipster, but it's so well done and the staff is top notch. Great cocktails and the spicy chicken sandwich was fresh, spicy and cooked perfectly. Fully recommend starting your night here.

      Chicken Sandwich -- get it Spicy!!!
