| - Just came back from a very nice 67 degree sunny Sunday early March brunch at The Porch. I didn't realize it was located across from GSPIA's Posvar Hall and the Hillman Library until I mapped out directions.
We used the call ahead seating to reserve a table for 4 and were seated immediately when we arrived 30 min. later. The atmosphere is very hip with a mix of tables and booths. Had it been a few degrees warmer, we would have sat outside on the patio.
I started out with a bloody Mary which was pretty spicy, the way I like them. I ordered the Sunnyside burger, cooked medium, which comes with a sunny side up egg (not fried, but next time...and there will be a next time...I'll be sure to ask that they cook the egg a few seconds longer.). The burger was excellent! Very tasty and cooked perfectly. It came with sautéd onions and roasted red peppers. No need for any ketchup or other topping.
The bird ordered the pizza bolognese with Cunningham Farms Beef Bolognese, Fresh Ricotta Cheese, Basil. It came out on a metal tray which I thought was cool. It was very tasty and she said she would order it again. Our friend ordered the PIGGIE PIE that came with House-cured Meats, Mozzarella, and Basil. This too was very tasty. (yes, I must sample all meals).
Was it a little pricy? Perhaps a little to be a regular breakfast joint, but not enough to prevent us from returning soon. Especially when the weather turns a little warmer.
