This star isn't for the food or drinks, it's for the crappy customer service by management.
Called today (Monday) to make a reservation for next Saturday (1/13) for a birthday party for 8 people, two of which are kids. They called me back about a half hour later saying they couldn't actually take our reservation because there's a football game that day. Um, what? We just wanted a table to come eat and celebrate and you can't take our reservation because it might be busy? That's why we're asking to reserve a table. We asked for an early reservation at 3pm. The girl I spoke with was very nice and I'm not shooting the messenger. I just find it rude that a new place in the area is turning bigger parties away because they're anticipating a big football crowd.
The good news is there are plenty of other restaurants that we will be happy to celebrate at. The Porch won't miss us, but considering the already less than stellar reviews, maybe they should. My dad (the birthday boy) was looking forward to this place so that's a big bummer :(
