| - I kind of agree with the 3 1/2 stars this place gets. Not bad, but certainly not great. The service was the same. They didn't ignore us, nor did they dote.
I had the porch burger, which is topped with pulled pork or beef or something. Because they rely on the saucy meat, there isn't any traditional condiments and I felt it was a little dry. However the flavor was good, and it was cooked as I ordered it, something a lot of places can't do. It is served with 'crispy potatoes'; basically really well done tiny potatoes, which I liked. A lot of the items seem to have superfulous ingredients for the sake of being fancy, and I'm not so into that.
My BF had the ravioli appetizer. At least I think it was an app.-it certainly wasn't an entrée portion. The heading is 'this and that'. I mention that because I found the menu strange and disjointed. I know that sounds completely ridiculous but it made it harder for me to order. I didn't want to end up with two meals or three raviolis to eat.
Anyway, my BF thinks they were fried, but I think they were baked. They didn't seem to have that oiliness about them. It was ok; like I said, 3.5 stars.
Our friend had a huge piece of meat; I think a rib-eye maybe? He just loved it!, although Todd is the nicest person on the planet and doesn't ever have a bad word to say about anything or anyone, so...ya know.
As a side note, if you have never even seen the place, it is in the middle of what used to be Schenley Plaza, and has some kick-ass outside seating.
