| - Ok I know what people are going to say: How could you give The Porch only 3 stars!
Went here for brunch today and the meal had two sides the really good and the bad.
What we sampled:
Farm Bread with honey butter, apple butter, and blueberry preserves
Today's farm bread was homemade english muffins and the order came with 2 whole english muffins. The muffins were delicious especially enhanced with the different butters and preserves.
Bianca Pizza: Fig Jam, Goat Cheese, Mozzarella, Arugula, Truffle oil
This was my order, and I was pretty disappointed. I love all of the things that this pizza promised, but I don't think that it delivered. Overall the pizza had way to much fig jam and the taste was overwhelming and I wasn't able to taste the other flavors.
Burger: Roasted Red Peppers, Caramelizied Onions, and a Fried Egg on a Brioche Bun
This burger was awesome! The burger was cooked rare though we requested medium rare, but it was so good it didn't matter. Also the egg was perfectly cooked. This was messy and delicious in all the right ways.
Cast iron pork belly
Possibly the most disappointing dish of all. It was a small cast iron skillet with 10 small chunks of pork belly that were so overcooked they were almost impossible to eat.
I would probably return for dinner to see what they are able to do, but I don't know about brunch.
The service was good and our waitress fulfilled every request that we had. The place was bustling with small and large groups and the noise level was moderate. I also liked the decor and the towels for napkins.
