We had a pleasant 40-minute wait sitting at the bar enjoying pint-size bottles of St. Peter’s Stout, a small brewery, dark, English ale; my favorite ale of all time. From the outside, the Front Porch seems small and non-descript with a few tables and chairs outside where people were waiting. The restaurant was originally the garage with an Edwardian above. The décor is 1920’s with tin on the ceiling, an old cashier on the bar, a few antique photos and antique windows on the walls. The atmosphere casually with artistically clad young non-professionals. It had a very neighborhood-y feel. The seating was minimal and tables were close together, but comfortable. It was loud from people talking and background music (not live) but the noise was not unbearable. The staff was busy, but very attentive, pleasant, and responsive.

Around the corner from the Blue Plate is a spot to grab dinner or hop on one of the flea market bar stools for a beer. The Front Porch isn’t a place to go if you want to have an amuse bouche or vertical tasting. It’s a homey and friendly place where they are cooking up some fun eats. It’s hit and miss, but they are relatively new and the spirit is there.

Last week my friend Penny and I were looking for a cheap place place to eat with a relaxed vibe so we could catch up after not having seen each other for far too long.
