Bad service and well below average food! Went for lunch ordered a cheeseburger it was way over cooked and they forgot the cheese. Wanted to give it another shot. My hubs and I went for brunch this morning. The breakfast burrito was dry and tasteless, service below par. Food took forever and we weren't even offered refills on our coffee and tea. Sub par food overpriced! Steer clear of The Porch and find a different place to spend your time and money. read more

We had a wonderful brunch on the well heated outdoor terrace (with fireplace!). Good social distancing and great service. Apple cider mimosas and quiche were wonderful. A great outdoor eating option as the weather cools. Thumbs up. read more

Salmon with risotto was good, and well portioned for the cost. Be advised that Lobster Mac is not worth the $23 price. Very skimpy amount of lobster meat or flavor. If the entree cost $12 it would be worth ordering. If lobster is so expensive, the restaurant should just remove the dish from the menu. read more

If you want to meet somebody for a drink and snacks it is fine. However, I've never had an above average meal at the porch. The waitresses also seem spread thin so you can expect a little weight. I am fine with the weight. I am fine with the weight but it's not worth it given the food. read more

Everything was great!! Food and service was spot on and the atmosphere was really awesome!

Came here on Saturday morning for brunch with a group of 10. Despite our large party, they sat us right away no issues. Our server was quick and attentive with our table. We started off with a mimosa and wow, they were delicious! Definitely freshly squeezed OJ, how refreshing! We chose here for brunch because the brunch menu had a lot of options. Whether you'd prefer breakfast, pizza, or a sandwich you had many choices. I went with the Turkey sandwich and potatoes. The sandwich had fresh cut turkey, arugula, a garlic aioli and came together so nicely. The potatoes were also seasoned and cooked to perfection. All together we were all very satisfied with our meals! It is a little pricey for brunch, my bill was $35 for just me but as I stated they use fresh ingredients so you get what you paid for. No gross frozen food here! I'm excited to return for dinner in the future. read more

I was impressed with this place! It was very clean. It was nice inside. Our food was delicious. I got the harvest salad and added salmon. I asked for the lemon dressing instead of the orange. It may have been the best salad I ever had. The goat cheese mixed with pomegranate, butter nut squash, nuts, etc. was an awesome combo. The calamari with mixed in vegetables was a combination I would have never thought of as well but it worked! Several people with me ordered the roast beef and thought it was great. They had a lot of desert options. I tried both the apple crisp and the bread pudding. They were average. My only real complaint would be that our server was not around as much as she should have been. read more

40 minutes to get a lunch order doesn't work. Rude service, uncomfortable chairs and very average food.

I came here hoping to be proved wrong and wanted to write a great review but unfortunately my food was so bland! I got the grilled chicken farm salad--sounded so fresh and tasty. The pesto dressing was really light...there were just 2 small pieces of avocado. And I don't think the chicken was actually grilled..it had those artificial-looking grill marks and seemed like it was just heated up. Bummed it kinda knocks out another dining option in the south hills areas. I will give kudos in regards to the service, everyone was friendly and attentive and the food came out quickly. read more

The Porch at Siena has one of the best brunches in Pittsburgh. It's a fact. From fantastic bloody marys to their interesting chorizo eggs benedict to their perfectly balanced breakfast sandwich, they offer a full, and compelling brunch menu. Despite reading other reviews regarding poor service, I have never had a bad waiter or bartender. And my food and beverages have always been brought out swiftly. I have tried a variety of items off of their brunch menu and have found them all delicious. The chorizo eggs benedict is one of my favorites. My eggs were cooked perfectly and had a nice runny yolk and the chorizo adds a new complex flavor profile to a tried and true brunch staple. That being said the best item on the brunch menu is, without a doubt, their breakfast sandwich. It sounds simple, just eggs, bacon and cheese on some sourdough bread, but it packs a serious punch. The bread is absolutely delicious, it has a warm, buttery crunch on the outside while the still being soft enough for a sandwich. The bacon is thick cut and adds a nice saltiness and smokiness to the sandwich. Finally, the cheese they use is perfect for this sandwich the cheddar ties the whole sandwich together. Order this sandwich, I promise you will not be disappointed. In regard to their sides I have tried and loved their biscuits. I rarely have enough room to eat them with an entree however each time I have been able to order them they have been fluffy and delicious. It comes with homemade apple butter and jellies. All their breakfast items come with a side of their potatoes which are another highlight. They are crispy on the edges but soft and fluffy in the middle. An in house curry ketchup is served with the potatoes and I wish I could bottle it up and take it home. It offers and small but flavorful kick to the ketchup that puts it a cut above other ketchups, even homemade. I'm also a big fan of their original bloody mary. It has a nice strong horseradish bite while still remaining refreshing and smooth on the finish. I order it for every brunch there. They also offer seasonal bloody marys, however I have never found them to be as good as the original. Despite being a cilantro lover, their cilantro and habanero bloody mary is too strong on the cilantro and just didn't provide the same fantastic flavor of the original. Overall, I really have no bad things to say about the Porch, at least for Brunch. I have not tried the restaurant at other times, so I can't speak to their normal lunch or dinner service, but if it's anything like their brunch it will be fantastic. TLDR: Good service, delicious brunch, order the breakfast sandwich and a pitcher of bloody mary, 5/5 read more

Service bad food decent but overpriced. Waited 20 min on a very slow and well staffed day. People around us waited on. We left. Wont ever go back. read more

My experience here was just OK. We came on a Sunday around 1 and there was no wait. We were seated immediately and given a small brunch menu & water and told our server would be over shortly. After about 5 minutes, he came over and introduced himself. He asked if we wanted anything else besides water and then asked if we were ready to order. I ordered the margherita pizza & my mom ordered the grilled chicken farm salad. The food came out in about 15 minutes, but my pizza looked kinda sad. It didn't look like a normal margherita pizza. And it smelled like it was from Chuck E Cheese. I do like that they placed toppings on the side so that I could too accordingly. After eating the first slice, I came to the conclusion that this was just a normal cheese pizza. Kind of disappointing. There was nothing special to bring me back here. However, my mom said her salad was one of the best she's ever had and the chicken was top quality. The service was good but my food wasn't great. The place was clean and I love that they grow all of their veggies fresh in the garden. If I return here I'll definitely not order the margherita pizza. read more

The Porch - Margherita pizza - Pizza Near Me - Upper St Clair, Pennsylvania

Very good with great potential The food is very good. The menu is varied, and they always have a couple of specials that are not on the menu, which is good. I've had a couple of their fancy sandwiches - the buffalo chicken was a standout, really great - crispy fried chicken with buffalo sauce that wasn't insanely hot but added the right flavor. The bread it was on was a hit as well. The service is nice but a little strange. You walk in and order at the counter (fast-casual style), then go find a seat. A server will show up with your drink. Various people, all friendly, will deliver your food. It works, but it's a nice enough place and has a price-point that should support real servers. Like other upscale "fast casual" spots, it's awkward to decide tip-level when you first order, before having received any service. They present your unsigned credit-card slip at the end of your meal, but no pen to write in the tip and sign the thing. I like to give a good tip for decent service - just wish they would streamline the process a bit. But, again, food is quite good - give it a try and post a review. I'll be back. read more

Great outdoor space for kids to run around with nice patio area, good service, and good reasonably priced food.

Great Brunch! My sister and I were looking for something different so we checked out the online menu and decided to give it a try. Boy, are we glad we did! Crab cake hash and banana pancakes were delicious! We will be returning! read more

One of my favorite new restaurants in the south hills. Relaxed environment, good food, great staff, and a company that cares about sustainability. I've gone with my husband and friends to both this location and the Schenley location and we've had the brunch, burgers, cheese board, and my go to -fig and goat cheese pizza with arugula. Will definitely keep coming back. read more

I came here the other afternoon for an event and I had a really enjoyable time. I loved the decor and the overall ambiance of the outside seating area. They have a great concept of using local and fresh products and I think it's awesome how they have vegetables and fruit growing on site. I had a zucchini flatbread that the zucchini was picked that morning! I look forward to returning here at another time to see what other new dishes they are serving. read more

Whether brunch, lunch, or dinner, the porch at Siena has great options. Very fresh meals, delicious cocktails, and a pretty good beer / wine selection. It's usually not too crowded and the service is great. My only complaint is that it's sightly pricey, but still a pretty good value for what you get. Great new addition to the area! read more

Blah, hate to have to leave this review. The past 2-3 times I've gone here have been underwhelming. Not sure if the chef changed or what. No more polenta is a sad choice. Breakfast burrito was pretty flavorless. Started out with a bang, but just hasn't been hitting the mark lately. I will say, their drinks are still delicious and amazing! So that's a plus! read more

Confused staff, not bad quality food, fries in always too salty. Wings are frozen not fresh

I am giving this restaurant 5 stars due to all of the most deliciousness, magical, greatness! The spinach and artichoke dip is so yummy that my mouth is watering for more! The porch wings are also the bomb dot com! My harvest salad with chicken is definition of a Party SalAd! Great portions and service ! I will be back!! Thank you Melina so much for being so kind and sweet during my visit ! read more

If you have high blood pressure, please avoid this place. I went there for lunch and ordered lobster mac and cheese and the cauliflower gratin. the cauliflower gratin was so salty i was only able to take a bite. the lobster mac and cheese was alright. very bland like there was no seasoning on it. i wouldn't go back or recommend this place. read more

Let me start off by saying, this is a fine establishment. Great atmosphere, modern interior. The food and service here is pathetic. It's a Saturday night and quite frankly it's not that busy, therefore that should be sign number 1. After being seated, my group of four and I waited about 15 minutes before getting water.. not talking about drinks but WATER. Not to mention it was LUKEWARM. The food was decent although I would not recommend the spinach ravioli. Uncooked noodles stuffed with spinach and topped with sloppy joe meat.. not worth $21. The service could be much better and the food menu is rather pricey. From them running out of certain apps to them not being able to split the receipt correctly, I had a rough experience at The Porch. read more

Excellent meal. Had the truffle fries as an app. Wife had the Miso Cod and raved about it. Fish. Perfectly cooked. I had the fish sammy. Also very good. Definitely coming back read more

Been to this location twice. Somewhat of a let-down on the service-- not because of the people, but their training was lacking. C'mon Porch-- this is the easy part! Prices are similar to Juniper Grill, but this place is not nearly as nice, and the menu is def not comparable. read more

8 months later and I continue going back for great food and the tasty sangria. The service is also on point. They have a new seasonal menu items and they were delicious. Every dish I try has been delicious. read more

Nice place with outdoor patio next to a grassy area. Good food, decent service and atmosphere.

I was really looking forward to going here. The menu looked great. We went for brunch and I got the avocado toast and a friend of mine got an omelette but was given a hard time when she wanted to substitute a different type of bread for an English muffin. And also, even though it says everything comes with a side, they do not specify more clearly what does not. I had asked for the greens when ordering and they did not come, when I asked for them from the waitress she said oh, it doesn't come with a side, but that was not stated on the menu. The food was delicious but our service was not so great. read more

I placed a Take out order around 1230pm for a grilled chicken sandwich to eat before work. The chicken was burned and very dry, I ended up throwing away the sandwich and just eating a few tater tots. I wanted to speak with a manager right then and there but had to go to work. I just called during my break at 6pm to speak to the manager and wow was he rude! Didn't say sorry, but actually questioned why I didn't call earlier!! Food was horrible and so was the customer service. read more

I was excited to try because I have always liked the Oakland location. Went for lunch and maybe because I am not a fan of fast food, I really don't like ordering at the cash register first then sitting. I like sitting down and being waited on especially if I am paying a premium. We did have multiple servers ask us if we needed anything but by the time someone returned with my dressing, I had finished my salad. I had the Ruben and it was really a disappointment. Very fatty, so much so that I removed the meat and ate the sandwich plain. I probably will give them another chance because the location is great and their outdoor setting is really nice. read more

Nice atmosphere, excellent food and service We enjoy their seasonal selection food and beverage menu.

I stopped in for an early dinner on Sunday around 5. The place was not busy at all. I was seated right away. While my server didn't seem to know the beers on tap, she got the correct list very quickly. She didn't offer to tell me the specials until I asked. I got the tomato soup, which she did ask if I wanted ahead of my grilled romaine dinner salad. Both soup and salad came very quickly and my server checked on me a few times, but was not overbearing. Soup was good. It not amazing. Grilled romaine salad had 3 large shrimp. It was good, but again not amazing. I love the outdoor porch area. But the metal chairs are not comfortable at all. I would not hang out there for any length of time. All that said, I would try it again. read more

This place opened in June of 2017 and we've been there a couple of times since. In a way, it's a frustrating place as it has flashes of brilliance accompanied by big misses. Occupying a brand new development in Upper St. Clair, the actual location overlooks the new Whole Foods and is part of the retail development above the supermarket. There is ample parking in front and when you enter the place, you are immediately greeted at the host station. To your left is the bar with the ubiquitous television screens and beyond that is a covered porch that can serve for outdoor dining during the warmer months. During cooler months, it's covered over and enclosed. To your right is the main dining room with multiple tables and sections. The back walls has a design of many bees and sticks of wood. Not sure what the connection is but it is a bit whimsical. On both visits, we were seated right away as the place was never totally full. It was pretty busy, but not exceedingly so. On both visits, we had to wait a long time for a waitress to show up with the menus. Not sure why the hostess did not provide menus? The menu does change as it was different between our two visits. We asked how often and no one seemed to know, although one of the waitresses told us she was there since it opened and the menu had changed twice. On this second visit, we tried the Pumpkin Gnudi, the Ratatouille Pizza, and the fish special which was a portion of a Skate. When I've made gnudi, or had it elsewhere, it was always a rather large ball of dough with the requisite flavorings. Here, it was a compact mass of a savory pumpkin mash that was deep fried. Odd, but not unpleasant. The five Gnudis were served on top of a sauce that was the traditional sweet pumpkin sauce with spice notes as well as cranberry chunks and roasted hazelnut bits. On top of it all was one deep-fried Kale leaf. That last was totally unnecessary to the dish. The best way to eat this was to make sure that all the different elements were on your spoon at the same time and then it was very tasty. The Skate came with roasted Cauliflower, forbidden rice, and a green herb oil Each part of the dish was very tasty although we asked that the fist be cooked until it was flaky, and the kitchen sent it out with the fish still very underdone. Not to the point that we had to send it back, but enough to detract from our enjoyment of it. The fish, rice, and cauliflower were excellent! The last dish we tried was the Ratatouiile Pizza. This was supposed to be a pizza with eggplant, zucchini and the like on it. What I saw was mostly tomato sauce with ricotta cheese melted on top. There were a few crumbs of Eggplant here and there, and maybe two tiny chunks of zucchini. The overwhelming flavor was of tomato. At least the thin crust was not greasy this time (On our previous visit, the pizza we had then was so greasy, it melted the paper it was served on!). We also ordered one glass of wine. We got a regular glass with about 4 Oz of wine in it and were charged $12 for it which is a ripoff. The whole meal cost in the vicinity of $35 per person which is on the high end. Another factor is that the menu is relatively slight. There is not too much variety there. So, if you are picky, you are likely to not find too many things to your liking. While I like the location, concept, and find some of the dishes executed very well, it will probably be a long time until we go there again due to the negative aspects of the place. read more
