  • The Porch is a bar/restaurant nestled between food huts in Schenley Plaza, and a welcome one at that. It's always nice to have new options in Oakland. I have been here a few times and sampled the appetizers, pizzas, and several entrees. I really enjoy the garden harvest salad, which is topped with mushrooms and goat cheese. Very tasty! When it comes to entrees, I have found that I like trying their daily specials when I can. In early summer, The Porch had a delicious baked meatball offering. The red snapper is also very good. My fish was perfectly cooked and served with clams and vegetables in a saffron broth. For some reason, I find the pizzas to be a bit bland, even their more creative ones. The "bianca" has an interesting pairing of fig and goat cheese, but comes off a bit TOO sweet. The pesto-themed "genovese" is the opposite, and is much too salty for my taste. The dessert menu changes daily. The chocolate bread pudding was delicious, but the tiramisu wasn't as impressive. There are nice little touches that make The Porch a great place to go. First, I like that they have a self-serve water bar (glass coolers with fresh herbs and citrus). The Porch also has... a porch. I know, you're shocked! The outdoor patio and bar are the perfect place to have a casual drink and meal in the warmer months. There is also a fireplace in case it gets a bit chilly. As far as the bar goes, there is a small but well-chosen selection of seasonal beers on tap as well as a decent wine list. A small warning, however. As The Porch attempts to use local ingredients, the only whiskey they have is from Wigle in the Strip. That's all well and good, but Wigle is a bit of an acquired taste, in my opinion. It will not taste the same in mixed drinks as Jack or Johnny. Overall, the Porch is an excellent addition to the Oakland restaurant and bar scene. The bartenders are just wonderful and so is the majority of the menu. If they reassess their pizza offerings, I may add the fifth star.
