The chicken wings were crispy and delicious, we both ordered the cheddar bacon burgers which were delicious -- finger licking good and the fries and truffle fries were probably the best fries I've had in a long time. Everything was made to order and we could taste the difference. The ambiance is nice, can tell the staff stay busy from opening... and I can see this place being extra busy I when the weather breaks for spring as there is the option to have an open seating. The waitress that helped us we liked her a lot... too bad we couldn't recall her name, but long brown hair 'without' tattoos and bubbly. she had good recommendations, honest about some of my questions, and she made excellent drinks as for the other waitress although there was that resting face appearance, we were just another guest to serve and move along. All in all this place was recommended to us and I would try again when in the area.

We popped in for a late dinner. Our waitress was so sweet, very accommodating, friendly, and professional. We aren't huge appetier people but we were famished. Tuna Tartar was the selection. It was HUGE. Delicious and so enjoyable! I nearly ordered a second one for my dinner. The meal was absolutely wonderful. He did the Wedge + Chicken. I settled for the Blackened Chicken, we were not disappointed. The martinis were HUGE! They were made ICE COLD and served in a frosty glass... my favorite. We couldn't give higher praise to The Keg, they did a great job and we look forward to returning next time we are in Calgary!

I can't say enough about Porch! Such good food, and the ambiance is stunning. Especially for a nice…read moredinner with friends or if you're trying to impress a date. Their salmon was fantastic. I'm always scared it's going to be overcooked, because at many restaurants the fish usually is, but this was perfectly grilled and well seasoned. The bed of veggies underneath had a really nice, subtle flavor that complemented the fish without overpowering it. I also ordered their banana cocktail, which honestly surprised me. I didn't think I would ever like banana in a cocktail, but it was absolute heaven. Smooth, balanced, and not overly sweet. One of those drinks you think about ordering again halfway through. For food, I also had the braised short ribs, and they were excellent. Super tender, rich, and full of flavor. Definitely one of those comforting dishes that still feels elevated and well executed. The decor deserves its own mention. The space is warm, stylish, and thoughtfully designed, and there's an actual live tree inside the restaurant, which is such a cool touch. You can already tell this place must be incredible in the summer when everything is open and lively. Overall, Porch delivers on food, drinks, and atmosphere. Easily a spot I'd come back to, whether for dinner, drinks, or a special night out.

We were originally going to another brunch spot but they were way too busy so we looked up more…read moreoptions on Yelp and came across Porch. We saw they were going to open at 11am, and decided to try our luck by getting there right at opening since we didn't have a reservation. We got lucky and got seated right away! - PARKING - Street parking, make sure you take note of how long you paid for! - SERVICE/ENVIRONMENT - The ambiance inside is so nice and airy, with greenery and natural light shining through. There's also a super cute swing area next to the bar area that you can sit. I really liked the overall interior design! The staff was very attentive for our large party throughout our meal. There are bathrooms downstairs as well. - FOOD - Bacon Jam Benedict ($20.00): Loved the flavor combination in this! The sweet savory maple bacon jam worked so well! We upgraded to the fried potatoes ($4.00) and they were pretty tasty. Carrot Cake French Toast ($24.00): We got one to share with the table, and I'm glad we didn't commit because it was just OK to me. I wish there was more mascarpone filling, and also a different sauce than chocolate because it didn't pair well for me. Winter Nights ($19.00): We wanted to get some greens in and chose this salad. I enjoyed the mix of greens and also the fennel salami which gave a salty bite! Truffle Parm Fries ($13.00): We also got this to share with the table and you can't go wrong with these! - OVERALL - Great brunch option if you have a small or large group! Really nice airy ambiance for a nice start to your day.
