Smaller portions and higher prices, but very delicious food. Best place to take friends or family when in Oakland. I love their pizzas.
Went to The Porch for brunch and I’m glad we did. Right on the campus of the University of Pittsburgh this place is a definite recommendation. We decided to get a pitcher of the Bloody Mary and it did not disappoint. The food was fabulous with multiple seasonal options. For a light lunch the salmon wrap was fantastic with a great flavor profile. Parking took a little while to find however after finding street parking the meal made the walk over worth it.
We came hear to eat with a bunch of people (~20) after a conference at CMU. We had our own two tables. The place was buzzing, but it was still quiet enough to talk. The food itself was excellent. Service was kind and attentive.
Chose the porch for dinner as day one of my husband showing me around Pittsburgh. Since it was almost move in day I suppose more people were there than normal, and they were severely understaffed. Everything took forever to come out, be it menus, utensils, water. But they were very apologetic and we understood. Anyway, we started with calamari, which was very very salty. Ended up getting the steak after, which was SO good. The best mashed potatoes I’ve ever had! Husband had the burger which he ate in under a minute. Great place to take the parents, highly recommend.
This is overall a phenomenal spot for lunch or dinner, located right on Pitt's campus. The restaurant has a modern feeling, with both indoor and outdoor seating overlooking a bright green field of grass. Menu is varied, with something to please just about anyone. The restaurant was very clean, and the staff was friendly as well. With fair pricing on top of this, it is hard to say no.
