I spend a lot of time in Oakland and the Porch is usually a solid dining option for both dinner and lunch. The Bianca pizza is amazing! We've started ordering it to-go after we've already eaten our dinners so that we can have it for another day. Pretty much everything under the "this & that" category on the menu is perfect for snacking while drinking. Also, our food is always ready super fast! My only kind of complaint is that the service has usually just been "okay." The staff has always been pleasant and knowledgeable of the menu, but they have taken a while to first come over to the table to take our order and bring our check (also bring it back which made my boyfriend nervous because they had his card).
