We really enjoyed our meal and service at the Porch. My salmon was excellently prepared and my boyfriend's steak was perfect. Tony our waiter was very attentive and super nice! I hope he's our waiter the next time! read more

Dinner was great and the bar service outstanding as always but.....they did away with Thursday live music??? The lack of crowd and ambience was noticeable. Bring it back! This is a huge mistake (And please...update your website regularly!) read more

We held a Baby Shower at the Porch just yesterday the 30th of March The management was accommodating for every detail our daughter ( Expectant mom) requested. The meals of Quiche, Seasonal Harvest Salad and Breakfast Sandwich were very good... generous, and some was boxed and taken home, not left by the attendees. I had the Breakfast. sandwich, a full size freshleyy cut slices of Sourdough with Swiss, bacon and egg. Desert was Cheesecake with a choice of chocolate drizzle, raspberry and I forget the third offering. Appetizers were scones and choices of butter and jams and fresh cut fruit. I was greeted by an open door, propped for me to bring decorations, found a completely set set of tables. We were not rushed and Julie, our server was really attentive to the timing and details. Mimosa's were flowing, water was replenished. Thanks to the chefs, Sam and Chris, who oversaw and set up to detail our event.... They hovered, helped and supported us for the time of initial booking in January. Sincererly, Paulette Godla and Gregg Godla, ( mom and dad) and Jillian Godla Schwarzwaelder, expectant mom read more

Terrible service. Food ok but overpriced. This can use a complete redo. USC needs a good casual restaurant other than OTB. Great location. read more

My first dining experience at The Porch was just ok. Our server was very nice but our food took awhile to come out I ordered the peach and prosciutto pizza which was ok. My husband ordered the miso sea bass which he enjoyed We got the peach berry cobbler for dessert. That was excellent! We sat inside but there were tables outside as well. We were there on a weeknight for an early dinner. By the time we left at 7:00 it was getting more crowded read more

Andrew was an excellent waiter! Very attentive and made sure our meal was perfect. Food was great as well, no mess-ups.

I have been coming here for years and Andrew was by far the best waiter we have ever had!

Overall, a great dinner and no major complaints. The menu has a little bit of everything and the cocktail menu sounded very good. I opted for a glass of wine though. I ordered the Bianca pizza and split truffle fries with my friend..I wish there was a little more truffle on the fries, so that was a bummer. The pizza was very good - I would get again. I'd return to the restaurant. read more

Everything was excellent including our server Sheridan who was very friendly and professional! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great dining experience!! read more

I love the Porch - I go at least quarterly and consistently have positive experiences here, whether it has been for brunch or dinner. The bianca pizza is one of my favorite meals of all time. Also love their potatoes with chipotle ketchup...and I hate ketchup! The service has always been pleasant, friendly, attentive without being overbearing. It gets busy but it's a fairly open and spacious layout so I have not once felt claustrophobic or overstimulated. I love sitting by the fireplace in the extended seating area, but it's all very clean, bright, and open, with ample parking. read more

Great service and friendly server. Would recommend. The Food was reasonably price and happy hour was very enjoyable out on the patio.

I hate giving bad reviews because I just rather not review the place at all. Pros: the place was clean, there is parking, food was fresh, staff was so friendly, our waitress constantly checked on us. Cons: the salt. They salt the fry's so bad I had to wipe off each fry to just eat them. The gluten free bun is so tough it's hard to bite into. I understand they don't make the buns they come from another company. Hopefully they can find another gluten free brand to use. I got the veggie burger it was nice and fresh but it was falling apart everytime I ate it. It was pretty mushy. The food wasn't horrible it was just okay so I wouldn't come back here again read more

Went there today and met two very nice ppl. One named coltan... coltan was so friendly and made me feel like it was ok to ask for extra ketchup. I really hate doing that. But coltan let me know that he himself is a ketchup enthusiast. And likes to order extra ketchup just like me. Then i met sam. Sam said he was a manager. I told sam how nice coltan was and how i really appreciated the way he treated my mother and i. Sam thanked me for telling him that and said he would be sure to tell coltan. Sam eventually came to our table and talked more to us. Both of these ppl were so nice and friendly. Definitely something i haven't experienced in a long time in a restaurant. I hope to see them next time we go. read more

Horrible hockey puck burger that cost $20. Ordered medium arrived over well done. A McDonald's burger is better and 25% the price. Don't make make the same mistake I did. Was supposed to come with lettuce, tomato, onion and a pickle spear. None of those arrived. $20 wasted. read more

A little surprised by the lower ratings because I've always had a good meal and great service. Love the patio seating option even in the winter as there is a beautiful stone fireplace! Prices are average. I don't think I've ever had a bad meal. Also love the seasonal cocktails! I'll keep coming back! read more

The food here never disappoints!! Always a great meal, no matter what I've ordered. However, every time I've been here the service has not been great. It seems they may be understaffed so servers are not always super attentive. But ours was still very nice and tried her best. They have some really great salad and you can add protein to any one! Nice outdoor space. Love how they grow some of their own vegetables and such right outside!! So cool!! read more

Food is the freshest of ingredients! Staff is wonderful! We love to sit at the bar! Bring back the music on Thursday! Very disappointed there was no music read more

Who knew farm to table food could taste so good? Porch prides itself in sustainable food practices that are good for the planet and taste delicious. Homegrown veggies (and even honey) as well as locally sourced ingredients make this menu sing. The burgers are some of the best in Pittsburgh and the pizzas are cooked in a wood oven for a delicious flavor. The salads are fresh and light. Porch is a place where you can sit around a table with loved ones and feel comfortable. I recommend ordering a bunch of food and sharing it family style. You won't be disappointed. read more

I will start off by saying this is such a cute restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. Very clean and modern! It is counter service which isn't an issue, I've been to quite a few different counter service restaurants around PGH and all have been very smooth. It was awkward, however, that the server/food runner who was assigned to our table would ask us if we wanted more drinks and other times we would get up and get our own. Again, not an issue but it was awkward lol. The food was great, their ranch is THE BEST!!! And everything we had food wise was awesome (group of 8). The drinks on the other hand were questionable. I got a spicy margarita which was on the menu at the time and it was the worst I've ever had. Straight tequila with jalapeños, I definitely could not drink it lol. Overall it was a good experience and I'd go back, just not order drinks from the bar. read more

Excellent food as usual. And tonight the music was great too And the peach prosciutto pizza was great !!! And our server was great read more

We had a wonderful experience at The Porch. We were there on a Saturday around 7. We decided to eat at the bar and kinda people watch and get the feel of the restaurant since we had never been there before. The two bartenders could not have been friendlier. The manager also came over and talked to us...great first experience. We ordered couple things to split. We ordered the risotto balls, firefly fires, and Margherita pizza. The pizza was so good and different. It is super cute how it comes out on a on baking sheet with different spices. We loved the dough, crust and cheese combination. The fries were really good, but we might try something else next time we are there. Now...the risotto balls...I could dream about them. They were cooked perfectly, and the sauce was ridiculous. I cut each in half and but a small amount of the sauce, and it was amazing. The sauce is perfect with them but a little spicy...don't put on too much. We can't wait to go back in the summer and sit outside! read more

Gloried Red Robin. Not worth the price honestly. Very expensive for what you get and the menu is very limited

The Porch - Peach and prosciutto pizza - Pizza Near Me - Upper St Clair, Pennsylvania

Incredibly disappointed. Ill start with positive, service was good and the patio was really nice. The food was sub par and the porch was trying to be a level in which they are not. We ordered: Brussels sprouts: only decent thing. Tasty but super greasy which is prob why they were ok Cauliflower gratin: this was literally coated cauliflower that may have been fried (couldn't tell) covered in a a cheese sauce that my husband asked if it was nacho sauce. In no way was the "gratin" Chicken salad: pulled chicken was so salty I couldn't eat more than a bite. And it was SMOTHERED in dressing My husband ordered the gnocchi special would should have been an indicator not to get it. It was disgusting and mushy. I took one bite and my husband barely ate it. Kids mac and cheese: a little dry but by far the safest dish There's limited options in the south hills but even still we won't be going back. read more

Prices up, quality way down. Specific : chopped salad. Described as: Pulled Chicken, Romaine, Tomato, Cucumber, Carrot, Chickpeas, Feta, Fresh Herbs & Honey Dijon Dressing More accurate: boiled, tough, stringy chicken, iceberg lettuce, prepped carrot and celery blend, no herbs, too little feta to note, barely dressing. Might have asked for dressing or feta, but our server never returned after dripping off our meals. We got up and tracked her down to pay and get out. read more

It took me a few years - longer than it should have, as I'm a South Hills girl -but I finally managed to dine at The Porch at Siena! This is the second Porch location in the Pittsburgh area, the first being The Porch at Schenley. The Siena location is very similar to the Schenley location, in multiple ways. For example, the physical similarities are very noticeable: same type of decor, design, lighting, layout, and so forth. On the one hand, I admittedly feel like that equals a lost opportunity to give each spot its own identity. After all, this part of the South Hills area and Oakland have VERY different vibes (if you know, you know!). On the other, the uniformity meant I immediately knew I had arrived at the Porch - just minus fighting with Oakland traffic and parking. The similarities are not limited to the decor and environment, either. From what I can tell, this restaurant shares a lot in common with its parent restaurant. The menus are almost identical, just with a few things differing seasonally. It sounds like this location might be operating a garden similar to the Schenley location as well (I'm admittedly unclear if it's also a rooftop garden). All of that said, sharing the resemblances with the parent restaurant aren't necessarily a protest so much as an observation on my part. The Porch has always aimed to serve seasonal dishes made with fresh ingredients from local farms; I'm definitely not complaining about them serving up their locally-sourced creations in two neighborhoods I visit frequently. Especially when the results are so appetizing - so much so that I don't even mind that I chose to order a "plain old salad" during my first visit. (Although "plain old salad" probably isn't an accurate statement - there's nothing plain about goat cheese atop arugula, radicchio, almonds, and onion. Add some grilled chicken on for good measure and you have yourself a healthy feast. Please, give me more places making salads like this; I need this in my life!) With the addition of a cocktail with your order, you're sure to have yourself a great meal at The Porch at Siena. Final thoughts/summary: I was very happy with my dining experience, food, and drink during my first visit to this Porch location. I'm looking forward to returning and enjoying another round of delectable creations from this restaurant! read more

Tony was amazing and super friendly! very attentive and personable. Def would come back again! Loved the pizza!!!!

Always fresh and always delicious. Clean and bright surroundings with a consistently warm greeting upon arrival!

EDIT: The general manager contacted me to find out more about our experience. After she heard it from me she called me and left a message apologizing profusely. I just received a very generous gift card in the mail from her that was unnecessary but welcomed. We will be back sooner rather than later. My husband and I had dinner here yesterday with our daughter. We've been here many of times before and it's always been wonderful, however, yesterday wasn't like that. Our server was very attentive until we ordered our food, after that he basically never came back. A food runner brought our food from the kitchen, totally fine. However, he never came back to check on how the food was. My husband's steak was amazing and my daughter's Mac and cheese was also very good. My food, on the other hand was bad. I got a fish special and the fish was so overcooked, it was dry beyond belief, and the risotto that came with it was a bland brown mush that was gritty. I took a few bites and moved my plate to the end of the table to show I was done. Our server didn't come back for over 20 minutes after that. When he did he asked if we wanted boxes. I told him I didn't enjoy my food, what was wrong with it, and to please pass that along. All he really could say to me was "oh" and then ask if I wanted a box for my daughter's food. Within 30 seconds he was back with the box and our $90 check. My food was still on there without any discount or even bringing the manager by to speak with us. I put my card down because I was upset and went to the hostess stand to ask for a manager. The manager came over, I told him everything, and he said he was sorry and would talk to the servers about the way they handle these situations. He then sort of tried to laugh it off and said "maybe next time you're in I'll hook you up with something" and told me his name. That honestly felt like such a blow off it put an even worse taste in my mouth. I am not the kind of person who will go and track someone down the next time I'm in to cash in on a favor. I didn't say it to get free food but I feel like if I didn't eat something inedible, they could have at least not made me pay $28 for it. We honestly will be back because everything else we've had was delicious, and it's my nephew's favorite pizza in the world, but stay away from the mushroom risotto. read more

This is an updated review. Please see my last review for details ... I went back today to get a fish sandwich, after being contacted by the manager, after my last visit. He made good on his word and gave me a new fish sandwich, and salad, with dressings on the side, and no unripe tomatoes. The sandwich and salad were much improved without all the tartar sauce, and salad dressing, and it was way better for me to add it on myself lightly, the way I like it. So I thank the management for making my previous mediocre experience right today ... Cheers! read more

First time here and they treated us like family! The restaurant was very accommodating as we dined in between wakes for our grandmother. We enjoyed drinks and food with fast and friendly service. Waters were refilled quickly and check brought out promptly when we needed to leave. I recommend the fig pizza if you are looking to try something new! They had a delicious looking menu and I can't wait to return next time we are in town. read more

Is there way to give ZERO stars? Staff is friendly enough, but the food ALWAYS disappoints. A family member just recently left a job at Parkhurst Corp., The Porch's parent company, and always wanted to go here to eat, since she got a discount. EVERY time I went, the food was truly mediocre and left me wondering who was in the kitchen. Today, we went for 'brunch' and we ordered the cinnamon rolls for an appetizer off the 'seasonal' menu. They were actually so stale we could barely cut through them with a knife and completely unchewable, as if they were warmed in a microwave. As a matter of fact, if you examine the menu, I'm sure there are many items that are microwaved. After a bite by each of us, we sent them back and asked the waitstaff to remove them from our bill, which they did. I decided to order the 'breakfast sandwich' with 'crispy' taters. The sandwich was served on sourdough bread way too large for the eggs or bacon put on it, and the eggs were seasoned with WAY too much salt. If you put salt and pepper shakers on the table, why would the cooks dump so much salt on the eggs? The 'crispy' taters (new potatoes) served on my plate were just mush, and cold mush at that. I asked the waitstaff to please replace them, and were told they spoon them out of a large bin of them cooked earlier. After 10 minutes, a new bowl of them appeared, and they were st least hot, but they were NOT 'crispy' by any stretch of the imagination, as if some unbroken ones were put into the bowl and microwaved. I ate one and just gave up on that. Just AWFUL. We always recognize the waitstaff with a healthy tip, but whoever is doing the cooking needs to be retrained. It also reflects very poorly on management if they allow these things to happen. That is where the problem stems from, and corporate management as well. You need to do better, but it is unlikely I will ever return....there are many other better choices in the area. Good luck. read more

Tony was an amazing server and the food was amazing. this was our first visit and it won't be the last!

We went with the garden pizza and bread and burrata salad. Both were INCREDIBLE and full of flavor. We can't stop talking about how good this salad was. We also got a pitcher of strawberry mojitos. Our server, Chris, was attentive and kind. Vibes inside are nice--especially for south hills where there are not too many modern restaurants. read more

This is typically a great place to eat so we went as a group of 6 to enjoy a dinner with the family. The service was pretty good but out of the 6 meals, 5 were below par. 2 were cooked incorrectly and 3 were just ok. We will probably avoid for a while given the price we would expect more read more
