Waited for 15 minutes and 3 waitresses walked right past us, never even made eye contact or stopped to introduce themselves. Left after they started taking orders of people that came in after us. Will never go there or recommend. read more

If anyone says this place isn't worth visiting it's because they are scared competition. I am traveling for work and wanted something I couldn't get back home and found it. The pork shank...awesomeballs. Definitely friendly staff. You gotta eat here just do it. This place is big, it's Wednesday and they're open til 11 and the menu is creative. read more

Food was pretty good. However we were all covered with white fuzz balls from the cloth napkins. Brussel sprouts were amazing.

I was super excited to try this place, but I left a little disappointed. First, the water pitchers were dirty inside. My cup was dirty, too. The calamari appetizer was mostly breading and overly salted. The chicken dish was way overpriced for the amount of chicken I got. I get the "quality over quantity" concept, but for the price I paid I would have liked to have at least a half size chicken instead of about 3-4 oz of over salted chicken. I finished the entire plate but still left hungry. I guess I ordered the wrong thing, but roasted chicken is usually hard to mess up. The potatoes and green beans that came with my meal were good though. My kids' got HUGE pizzas for their meals, which they enjoyed. I tried their beef ribs special and those were spectacular. The macaroni it came with was a little too fussy though. Too many things in it (vegetables and flowers don't belong in mac and cheese). I like simple mac and cheese. I'd try it again but I won't be ordering the roasted chicken or calamari. read more

First time experience Sat night @ 6:30 pm. We waited at hostess station to be addressed and waited to be seated, place was not busy as there were plenty of vacant tables. We were asked where we would like to sit. We chose patio and asked to sit at table without the sun that would be eye level. We asked if table across was available as it was vacant and were told that it was dirty and needed to be cleaned??? Waited for our waiter and when he arrived apologized and we were told he was extremely busy?? Ordered Roasted veg salad. Was presented with a salad with raw Brussels sprouts- a total of 1 1/2 pieces, boiled Yukon potatoes and No sweet potatoes. The only roasted item was red peppers which I believe were from a jar. Forget the shaved parm... no such ingredient. Not going to return.....very disappointed read more

Had my first experience with the Porch and I will not be going back. When we ordered our lunch everything was fine. We waited, waited and waited while everyone at our table and around us received their food. Two of us were left sitting with nothing. Finally after about 20 minutes we asked where our food was and were told it was given to someone else. Well when our food came out the beacon was raw on my chicken club and it was rather bland. The manager came over to apologize but the damage was done. We have no desire to revisit a bad situation. read more

The menus prices are all over the place. Husband got sausage and eggs and it came out as one egg and what looked like microwaveable sausage links. Sincerely looked like a Bob Evans breakfast and charged $14. In the meantime, I had a massive gourmet vegetarian croissant sandwich for $10? I asked to add on a side salad, which was only mixed greens with a little olive oil and was charged $4? For a restaurant in the Eat and Park chain I think they are acting a little big for their britches and don't know how to price correctly. $8 for ONE small mimosa made with bottom shelf sparkling wine is a bit crazy when you consider you can get an entire carafe of mimosas for $8 at other trendy places filled with televisions outside Pittsburgh. We spent an evening at Alla Famiglia last night with top shelf liquor and fine food and the bill was only $40 more than a brunch here in the suburbs at an Eat and Park chain. read more

This place is in chaos! Menu item "Tuscan Taters" for example, definitely not what you would expect. It's more like simple roasted potatoes with spices. Wine selection limited and subpar. Very disappointed. Final straw before leaving was ordering a $16 burger and wasn't asked at what temperature! That's burger 101 folks. I paid for the food and left. Based on reviews, I may give their brunch another chance.Had high hopes given the location and reviews. Left the place and ate dinner at Bonefish. read more

I honestly just was not impressed. I was excited to try, but then was disappointed. The two positives were the atmosphere and beer selection- I did really like that. Food however was a different story. I ordered the Grilled Romaine salad, soup, and my fiancé and I split the cheese tray. (He had the steak). Prior to ordering the salad, I asked the waitress if I could add a protein to make the salad an entree, and she told me that it was an entree salad and it came with shrimp. When I got my salad, there were 3 pieces of shrimp on it, all of which were ice cold in the middle. That would have been fine except for the fact that it was a grilled romaine salad, served warm. So I had warm lettuce, 3 partially frozen shrimps, and homemade croutons that were soggy- for $13. The soup was average, and the cheese tray was good, but for $15 there wasn't any bread or any thing that came with it. Just cheese and a few olives/almonds. My fiancé said his steak was good, but we ended up spending over $75 and left hungry. We won't be back unless it's just for drinks. Also, the menu was extremely limited. read more

Not only delicious food, but they employ about the nicest group of people a stranded couple could ask for! After a lovely early dinner with pleasant service, my husband and I got locked out of our car and then when we finally got in it wouldn't start. Despite it being the start of the Saturday night dinner rush, the host, manager, bartenders and waitstaff did anything and everything they could to help us while I loitered in their lobby with my service dog. I will go out of my way to patronize Porch just because of how outstanding their staff is. read more

Very interesting menu with a good variety choices. They have my favorite veggie burger in town; and their Bianca pizza (with arugula, fig, and goat cheese) should not be missed. The decor inside is serviceable enough, but the porch is really the place to done. read more

My friend and I went for lunch. We both ordered a chopped salad with pulled chicken. The only comment that I can say about the salad was YUCK. There was some type of mystery meat mixed into a small batch of romaine with an awful tasting dressing. We both decided to get up and leave. I will say that I did mention to the manager that we were leaving without eating the unappetizing, horribly tasting salad. He did not apologize but did offer to return our $. He insisted that the salad was made using 'pulled' chicken - the whole chicken and that white and dark meat were mixed in. Well, it looked like we had the internal organs and no meat. The 'chicken' that was a top of the salad was not 'pulled' from anywhere. I would highly recommend that you stay away from eating there. read more

We so badly want to like this restaurant. Great location. Friendly service. But the food is just not good. We have been twice (party of three) and tried six different dishes. Salad, pizza, steak - ugh - nothing noteworthy. Odd salad fixings (pulled pork was not edible), skimpy pizza toppings and fatty steaks. The menu is very limited and there just aren't any standout items. Sorry, but we most likely won't be back unless the menu is revamped. read more

I don't know why people are getting their panties in such a twist with the 1-star reviews... this place is very good and totally blows Block 292 out of the water. Second time here and I left thrilled- good food- came out pretty quickly- drinks were great- beer is cold- service is good. The servers are all brand new! Let them find their groove. Definitely check this place out and ignore the Mt. Leb jerks who can't take a chill pill. read more

My husband and I have really enjoyed the porch in Oakland, but this location was extremely disappointing. My friend and I ordered cups of tea, the pumpkin waffle and the quiche. First, the tea was not prepared correctly and resulted in a bitter beverage. Next, when we ordered the quiche the waitress walked away without asking whether we wanted greens or potatoes on the side (you have a choice of either). Then, the waffle was completely dry. We drenched it with syrup and waited, but it was drier than cardboard and difficult to even swallow. The espresso marscapone was on the side and very sparse, so it did little to help. The quiche crust was burnt to make matters worse. When the waitress brought our food out we had to move everything on the table for her to make room. She was quite inattentive and we had to get up and ask a different server for our check. I won't be returning to this location, and I sure hope they can turn things around. read more

Brunch with a dozen family members. Everyone enjoyed it. The atmosphere is faux rustic and very cute. The service was excellent. Food ranged from pizzas to chicken BLT to eggs Benedict to special ordering pain in the arse vegan niece. They were very accommodating. read more

Porch is VERY good with an interesting menu. Glad we tried it. Will definitely go back. Only part less than stellar was beer choices. Best burger ever. And great pizza! read more

When the weather cooperates, there really isn't a better spot than the patio for a frosty beverage and a bite to eat.

The service is still getting up to speed, but the attitude is VERY friendly and positive. Awesome decor - great vibe. The skillet cornbread is amazing...best I've ever had. The hanger steak was tender and flavorful with a great presentation incorporating the sides/sauces. The arugala salad with salmon pastrami was excellent. Will definitely go back, but not often as it's a little pricey. read more

I wasn't in a rush to go here based on other reviews, but I went for lunch today and loved it. The staff was very friendly, the food was great and delivered quickly, and the atmosphere in general is just nice. The space is spread out and big enough that you aren't on top of the table next to you. My group got a steak hoagie, fish and chips (the chips are delicious), and a chopped salad. The servings were a good size, big enough that we were full and small enough that we didn't have leftovers. Overall, I would suggest giving it a try, at least for lunch. read more

Will never go back. My friend and I went in on a Saturday night and the place was not crowded at all. We sat there for 20 mins and no one came over to offer us drinks or take our order. For the prices, I expect friendlier staff and efficient business practices. It is unfortunate the service was underwhelming because we left before anyone even realized we had zero service. No comments on food as we didn't even get that far. read more

I ate lunch today and I ordered a regular pizza, the pizza tasted pretty good despite being undercooked on the bottom and limp in the middle. I ordered water and the carafe was very dirty, it looked like someone added a dash of pepper to it. I asked my server, who was very good by the way, if I could buy a bottle of water and she told me that they didn't sell bottled water. On my way out of the restaurant I noticed their display cooler full of bottles of drinks including a whole case worth of water. After inquiring one of the other servers told me that they only sell the bottles during the weekdays. I asked to talk to a manager and he gave me a free bottle of water to try to shut me up. When i asked him why she wouldn't sell me the bottle he played dumb like he didn't know, not wanting to have to acknowledge the stupid "no bottles on the weekend" policy. I feel bad for the waitress to have to deal with this situation all because of some arrogant policy that some idiot in upper management came up with. The manager who tried to play dumb to save face is childish, at least be honest and own up to your lame policies. All of this could have been avoided if they weren't serving dirty water in the first place. I understand wanting to do things your own way and not wanting to have tacky looking bottles of soda on your tables during weekends. You should understand that water is an exception and if you want to be as upscale of an establishment as your policies would suggest than you should offer a legitimate high end water option. read more

we waited for all of the hubbub of it being new to die down before we went. we usually eat early on saturdays, 4-5 o'clock, as we don't eat all day. most times, we're not the only people. it looked cavernous & empty! I know it's also part of the eat-n-park, & it shows. it was too fast foody, bland looking, cheap. I expected the porch at schenley, just a little bit. I also expected other people to be there. if there were 20 people i'd be surprised. the wine list could really use a few more choices, but was adequate. i saw online that they had prime rib. we've been looking for that elusive piece of beef since our last place stopped serving it. the meal came with a salad so we skipped apps for dessert! more of the eat-n-park feel when our food kept coming at an amazing speed! I know, i'm complaining about getting food too quickly! the prime rib came & was rare! good start! I asked for more jus. I was given beef gravy. baaaad sign!! it was just ok. there was almost no seasoning on it. what a shame. it came with a succotash that was delicious! yay! we got the last 2 pieces of the "day's" dessert. it was an apple crepe, sounded good, came with mascarpone filling. it was good, but the crepe itself was a little dense. all in all, it wasn't bad, but I have had better. your call if you go. read more

Nice, clean, great service. Terrible, over priced food. It was dead on a Friday night - should have been our first sign. Shame, it was our anniversary and we were looking forward to a nice dinner. read more

Took my Goddaughter for early dinner. It was 4:25. Told they had a limited menu till dinner. We decided to each have a salad. She choose the caesar with chicken. Very bland. I on the other hand had grilled romaine with chicken. Way overdressed. The croutons were so hard they were inedible. The only thing that was decent was the pan of cornbread. Won't return. read more

Never thought a restaurant could make duck dry.... They did it. Overpriced, not fresh. Out 4 meals, and appetizers, the best meal was Crispy Taters (potato). Salad not good, soup jus ok, appetizer (dry meats) were ok....Not impressed. Do not know how they are going to survive at South Hills with multiple great options within walking distance. read more

the worst prime rib sandwiches we've ever had. The beef was overcooked and pieces were burnt and not nearly enough. But there was way, way too much arugula and some other strange after taste. Potatoes were OK as was the "ketchup", but the flavors and tastes did not complement each other at all. read more

Lovely setting outside but very disappointed in the food. Ribs were dry and BBQ sauce not very good. Chicken was tasteless and dry as well. Would not recommend for dinner. I would go for cocktails and a snack and enjoy the atmosphere outside but skip the meals. Pizza at another table looked awful as well. They won't last long if the quality of the food doesn't improve. We did have a lovely waitress who provided good service. read more

Can I order lunch on a Saturday, please?? Brunch all day until 4pm is ridiculous. But not as bad as having to order lunch at a counter on a Monday and hope your food finds you. When we have to read a sandwich board to learn the six steps to having lunch, we walk out. The Ceviche was excellent at Bonefish as we were able to sit at the bar and enjoy excellent service. I am sure the bartender appreciated the 25% gratuity. read more

High prices for what you get. A glass of wine with less than 3oz. of liquid for $8-9.00 is outrageous. Pizza with very little chicken was really sad. read more

We heard great things but were so disappointed. We went with another couple on the evening of 08/23/19. We ordered cocktails and wine. The pours were a half cup for $10 and the $12 cocktails very weak. We ordered the mussels appetizers of which the waitress said, "the mussels are very good". But, we were brought a big bowl of Brussel sprouts!!! OMG!!! We would not accept them and the waitress just rolled her eyes and took them back to the kitchen. When we DID receive the mussels, they were very good. The salads were very good. Two members of our party ordered a pasta dish with crab that was disappointing. The pasta was undercooked and the sauce was lumpy. Both endured indigestion from the dish. Another guest had a risotto dish that was good. I ordered a blackened salmon and requested it very blackened. Instead, it was rubbery and mushy. The dish was very heavy in garlic and onions, which I continued to taste all night while trying to sleep. The food was quite pricey and very disappointing. We won't be returning--should have gone to Dellalos. BUT, the location is good, our company was GREAT--which is the most important thing. I think we had an off night because others have told us wonderful things about this place. It was just a lot of $$ for what we received. read more

Went there for a birthday outing. The food is very overpriced for what you get. The waiter was atrocious and extremely unknowledgeable. Claimed he's normally a bartender and not a waiter. Great excuse and not the customers problem. And, to cap it off, he spilled water on me. Once was enough for this place. read more

Prompt seating. The table had silverware and cups on it, but all in a corner instead of at each place. Waitress took our order but couldn't answer questions about items in the menu and it sounded like she was making up the answer. Tee answer to every question was.. it's a vegetable i think. Dinner came.. those veggies were gritty and tasteless, cornbread had weird after taste. Other servers came to clear dishes. The waitress asked how our table was, but did it in passing instead of coming to the table to ask. read more

I want to start this review by mentioning that I created a Yelp review on this restaurant and it is no longer listed. My friend and I attempted to have lunch here last week. I say attempted because we left without eating our food. We both ordered the chopped salad with pulled chicken. First, the 'salad' was not chopped. It was large chunks of Romaine lettuce with chick peas and some miscellaneous cheese. I believe that it was supposed to be feta. The dressing was supposed to honey mustard but had an anchovy taste to it. The meat on the salad was of a mystery variety. It was a grayish looking meat with an off flavor and an even stranger texture. On our way out we stopped and talked to the manager and told him that we were leaving the salads uneaten and why. His response was that they pull the whole chicken and white and dark meat are mixed. The meat on our salads in no way resembled chicken (white, dark, or otherwise). The manager did refund our money however I feel that everyone should be warned to order this salad with caution. There are plenty of good restaurants in the South Hills, this just isn't one of them. read more

Although my wife and I usually avoid visiting a newly opened restaurant, we took a chance on Friday night (6/23) because we just needed a change. We prepared ourselves for a few snags since we were there at 6:00, which on Friday night could be trouble. We were very pleased that even though the place was buzzing, we only waited a few minutes to be seated. Our server, (forgive me but I can't remember if she was Wendy or Witney, but it started with a W) was pleasant and helpful with explaining how things were prepared. She and the other servers and staff were very busy, which is understandable, but she never seemed annoyed with our questions. My wife had the Caesar salad, I had the arugula salad and we split a margherita pizza. All were tasty and fresh. Our experience was very positive and we plan to return. read more

We had brunch at Sienna Sunday and it was my first time there. My wife had been there 2-3 times already and had good things to say so we tried it for brunch. We waited a few mins for a table to be cleaned, but We were able to sit outside under the covered patio which was great. We started with coffee which wasn't too bad. I ordered the breakfast sandwich (recommended by the waitress) and it came with delicious potatoes. Unfortunately, the bacon on my sandwich was hard to chew and the egg was a little overdone. They also don't have Heinz ketchup and make their own so a huge negative in my book. My wife wasn't too happy with her eggs Benedict. We spit a Bloody Mary and it was rather blah. We had to ask for more tomato juice because it was super spicy. Overall, it has a great atmosphere but the food today was not great. I will give it another try for dinner because i have heard great things from others. read more

Sadly we have eaten here 3 times and each time they went downhill..... we had such a great experience we decided to go back the next night for a date night. The services was terrible....there were way to many people running around, bringing food, removing plates. We had at least 6 different people visit our table besides our waitress usually I wouldn't complain about this but it was very distracting and caused confusion among the staff. The appetizers took forever and once they did arrive our meals arrived within a minute too. The meals were cold and not good. My husband had the lamb which he couldn't eat because the chop was 90% fat VERY VERY little meat. My tuna was completely cold and risotto was undercooked. We then decided to stop in for lunch....hoping that date night was just a rough day for them....lunch was terrible....my burger was so over cooked that it crumbled into tiny pieces as I tried to eat it. They burger came with a fired egg that was undercooked and swimming in egg whites. My husband had a very overcooked piece of swordfish and found and entire garlic cloves in his eggplant dish. I had very high hopes after our first meal here...but after two more disappointments we will not be returning. read more

My husband and I went for dinner on Friday August 25th. We arrived around 7 and waited a little while to get a table, which was fine and to be expected. It was the terrible service we experienced upon getting our table which was extremely disappointing. It took 30 minutes for someone to come over and take a drink order. Another 20 minutes passed before we got our drinks. Our water was only refilled once. Once our meals were finished, we waited another 30 minutes to get our check and this was even after the dinner crowd had largely dissipated and the restaurant was not busy at all. At this point in the evening, there were a bunch of servers, bussers, and even a manager standing around not doing anything at all so I don't understand why we were looked over/ignored. Our server was nice, but she was obviously over worked or not attentive. Either way, I don't plan on returning. The food was only okay, so it is not enough to make up for the terrible service. read more
