| - I find myself coming back to The Porch fairly frequently, and I would say it's mostly due to the outside seating and convenience of its' location in Oakland. However, after a half dozen visits, I've yet to have a meal where I left feeling overly satisfied. Salads, entrees, pizza, and today's visit: brunch, have all been "OK."
Avoid the farm bread as it's really on the level of a bread that should just be brought to the table for free. Drinks are reasonably priced, they'll be more than you might be accustomed to in Oakland, but not significantly more.
Took over 30 minutes for our food to come out today, but the restaurant was busy and it was relaxing sitting outside so it wasn't a big deal in this case.
All-in-all, it's a decent spot for a casual lunch or dinner, but from my experience, don't expect anything to knock your socks off.
