Came here on Saturday night for some drinks and dinner with a group of good friends. What a cool…read moreway to spend the evening.
Ambiance: Very sexy lightning, incredible art, awesome DJ. A very unsuspecting location, you would never know it was there unless you knew what to look for. Inside is a great lounge / Bar area where you can grab drinks, look at the art and just chill. I found the art to be breathtaking.
Seating-- both indoor and outdoor. Huge open patio, with lots tables and great art on the walls outdoors as well.
Service ---was fantastic, our waiter (Marella?) gave us several recommendations, was very pleasant/ attentive and never left us lingering. The rest of the staff was fantastic, the hostess was very sweet, the other servers were constantly refilling our drinks and water. I find service in Miami is very slow, but the White Porch definitely changed my opinion on that.
Food: Overall the food was very tasty. Lots of great options to share. I can't wait to go back and try some additional items.
We had:
Apps:
Duck Egg Rolls ---nice sauce, very tender
Lobster Clam Chowder ---great big pieces of lobster, only complaint was I wish it had a bit more spice.
Entree:
Short Ribs --super tender, meat melted in your mouth, the potatoes were incredible.
Seafood Coconut Curry --Incredible, like a paella but with the rice on the side, the curry had the most amazing flavor, the seafood was perfectly cooked
Falafel --huge portion, nice spice to the dish.
Loved that they offer 1/2 portions on almost all of the dishes. A great place to share with a group or a date.
Drinks ---nice, very well priced wine bottles, house cocktails were vary tasty.
Parking ---I would say valet or park as close as possible, the art neighborhood is still one of the up and coming spots, so a tad sketchy.
This place is truly a unique spot and I would highly recommend it. A great spot for guests visiting from out of town, a date or a night out with friends.
