A very large group of us went to the Porch last Saturday, and they were great to accommodate a party of more than 20 with very short notice. Our waiter, Christopher was wonderful, especially because we were being very social and moving around all the time, and he still managed to keep our orders separate and accurate while people showed up late, left early and changed seats constantly. He amazingly helpful and fun. I had appetizers, desserts and drinks which were very tasty, but a bit pricey for what I actually received. While I enjoyed my food and loved the server, the prices and the inconvenience of parking in Oakland will probably keep me away.
