| - We just finished having brunch at The Porch. We are extremely disappointed. Everything on the menu sounded absolutely delicious and was beautiful. Unfortunately, the taste didn't live up to the expectations. We ordered the cinnamon rolls which were so hard that you could literally bang it off the plate. The edges of the biscuit were soft and warm and buttery, but when you got 1 bite in, it was ice cold. I assume that they premade them, refrigerate them and then reheat as ordered. My boyfriend got the breakfast sandwich and he said it was okay, but really greasy. I had a salad which was okay, not the worst salad, but far from the best.
The other thing that was frustrating was the service. The waitress was extremely friendly, but very absent. We waited over 10 minutes after being seated to be greeted. All of our food came out, but we waited several minutes before our waitress came over to check on us. My boyfriend was done with his meal before I was able to ask for dressing. It took even longer to get our check. The slow pace was very frustrating. The restaurant itself wasn't even half full. I'm not sure what other tables she was responsible for. It might not have been her fault, but management should have stepped in to notice that her tables were being neglected.
It's a beautiful restaurant, but not somewhere we would choose to return to.
