We scheduled a gathering for a going away party. Reserved for 12 people, but we ended up with more than double that number. The staff was very accomodating and made sure we were comfortable and taken care of despite the unexpected number of people. The food was fantastic and the atmosphere cozy, comfortable and inviting. Pros: Handled large group with flexibility/service, great food! Cons: none

Second visit to The Front Porch. First time was a year ago and all went well. This time....one word CR*P! Wait staff as described by others act like you are a bother. We went here for our 16th anniversary and they f'd it up with their attitude. Will not be going back. And the owner thinks he is Chef Ramsey from Hells Kitchen he is a d*ck. Pros: Front door guy is cool Cons: everything

This place is near my house and I love the atmosphere. There are several great photos of what I'm talking about in a photo gallery on Metromix's website.

I have eaten here four times. The food is good and the old house is cool. I did not like the way the Manager treats the servers, They all smile and are very nice. I noteiced the manager is very rude and never smiles. Let's go have a good time at the Front Porch on the nights the Manager has off. Pros: good food Cons: rudeness

Working evenings with early hours, off, the Front Porch has been a home away from home. My cheers. Better than that, the menu, changes often, with favorites as mainstay. Old south meets creative cuisine. It is a comforting atmosphere, with added deck to very large curving porch, and the inside, cool and cozy, a reminder of other century homes, turned restaurant. I highly recommend this restaurant/bar as a familiar retreat from chain restaurants..Please support your local businesses and enjoy!

This really is the most precious place. Its an old historic home in Seminole Heights, turned into a bar and restaurant. The food has always been good, I love the stuffed puffed pastry! I live so close to this place I've been here 100 times. Unfortunetly, we stoppd going here for food because you just can't get good service. No refills or visits. They have a new waitstaff every week. Still worth it to check out the bar tho.

This would be the perfect casual restaurant to catch up with a girlfriend, drink cocktails and order one delicious appetizer after another. The food is always great, the beer always cold with a great selection.

I used to love this restaurant for its concept...cozy litte bistro in seminole heights where you can eat on the front porch and watch the traffic drive by. However, over the past year this restaurant is just inconsistent. One time you go and have a great meal and a polite waitress, the next few times the food is awful and service is bad. Lately, you are more likely to get a meal that tastes reheated and a server who seems bothered by you being there. I used to swear by the potroast and wings but even those two dishes have tasted like leftovers on my last visit 4/08. Last time I had the potroast, the whole dish was verging on cold. I have to say that this is really a shame because I like what they were trying to do on their menu. They offered affordable semi-gourmet options, like duck and baked chevre. I think this caused them to have too many options, which has lead to reheated food that tastes awful!!! Don't order the calamari...it tastes frozen, the wings were outright nasty on my last visit. The waitress never said hello or asked how we were. she took our order and left...I felt like she didn't want us to be there so she could go home early. In summary, don't visit this restaurant until they do something to drastically improve the consistency of the food quality and service. Pros: walking distance for seminole heights, outdoor seating Cons: poor food quality and service

This has to be the worst place i have ever been! They have unwanted visitors or (this website wont let me say but how about our 8 leged friends) and lazy service. I have never had such horriable service or food.. When i order my soup their was a (8 leged friend) (i cant say what kind because this website wont let me type in which type of (8 leged friend) it was but trust me it was not what i orderd) that was in the soup and not to mention the food was the worst ive ever had... The Front Porch is not any where i would EVER go with my friends or any one else. This has to be one of the worst places ive ever been. I could never reconmend the front porch to any one with taste. This place is awfull.. NEVER GO THERE IF YOU WANT GOOD FOOD!! Pros: NONE, I have to say this is the worst place ive ever been to Cons: EVERY THING..... DO NOT GO!!!!!

The food is great. The service is good depending on who you get.. The bar is good too. Parking is ample.The view is of Florida Ave. There are many things to do in the central location.Good for kids.
