| - My wife & I dined at The Porch tonight for the first time. We were seated immediately (it was early - later they got crowded). Our waitress was very knowledgable and helpful in describing the menu items we were considering. We decided to share one of their Rocket salads and one of their Margarita pizzas. We had a reasonably priced bottle of tasty Sangiovese wine. The salad was very good, with shaved cheese, slices of chorizo and other goodies and plenty to share. Likewise, the pizza was also very good, and provided enough to eat that we had no room for dessert. We especially liked that the pizza, which was served on a cookie sheet, was accompanied by three small piles of toppings - finely grated cheese, dried red pepper flakes, and oregano. We enjoyed adding a pinch of each to our pizza slices. Their pizza crust is quite thin (our preference). We both thought that there was something a bit too salty about the pizza, and after further review, we concluded that the saltiness was in the crust. We each had a double espresso before leaving. We will return, and probably often given their close proximity to the Carnegie and Phipps. When we left, we went outside and checked out their outdoor fireplace and patio area, and concluded that would be a wonderful spot to dine in warmer weather.
