Stopped here on our way to the Phillips conservatory and botanical gardens. Nice place to get an American meal. Enjoyed the chicken bacon ranch pizza! Good service and chill vibe. Seems like a solid option if you’re the University of Pittsburgh/ Botanical Gardens in the area.
Amazing! I happened upon The Porch at an event in Schenley Park, Beer at the Bosque. My friend and I decided to try their food first hand. We went for lunch and were thrilled to see the affordable selection of child's plates at just $6. They have a family friendly atmosphere and the restaurant is easy to navigate. There is a family restroom along with a HUGE accessible women's restroom. I didn't peek in the men's room, so I have no clue. The bar opens at 4pm however they are extremely accommodating. They are cross trained so while there is no bartender at the bar there are people who can make your drink if you wish to have one. I went in for a quick visit and was served at the bar immediately. The staff is extremely welcoming. We enjoyed our food and loved sitting outside. Our only complaint was the harsh paint smells during renovations. Otherwise, this is a perfect place for a lunch date, lunch meeting, or dinner. The green grass parks, and scenery is spectacular. I love the artwork on the walls, recycled bicycle parts. Great job!
We decided to finally try out The Porch and I'm glad we did! What really stood out to me about this place was the exceptional service and the ambiance; this restaurant is gorgeous, and being located at the foot of the Cathedral just makes it beautiful. You also walk right past cabbages growing outside and we learned that they have bees on the roof, which is so cool! The waitstaff is very attentive and incredibly lovely.
We really enjoyed the meal. My aperol was great, the glassware especially is really special. The truffle burger was really tasty, I liked that they give you the option to build it yourself. It was pretty clear that the burger was pre-shaped, which I didn't like as much, but it was still good for the price. The margarita pizza really was the thing I was most disappointed about; the woodfired dough was great and the tomato sauce was delicious but typically I expect fresh mozzarella on a margarita, not pre-shredded mozzarella. It was still really tasty, and I liked the build it yourself options for that as well, but it would have been better advertised as a cheese pizza.
Overall, I really enjoyed the Porch and I will absolutely be back for more menu offerings, I really enjoyed the atmosphere and you just can't beat the location!
