The Porch Restaurant Anna Maria

"Recently went to The Porch for my dad’s 60th birthday. Almost everyone ordered the Steak Oscar, someone ordered the Filet Mignon, my husband ordered the shrimp & scallops and I got the fresh catch entree (grouper)…everything was AMAZING!! The appetizers were delicious as well: calamari, bruschetta & the shrimp & crab dip! Even the French fries were seasoned just right! Everyone was happy with the special beer and wines choices they ordered. One of the best meals & dining experiences we had in a long time. Service was excellent too, we had Nate as our server & he was very attentive! Place was very clean, bathroom was clean, and they had heaters outside for the cooler evening we had. Phenomenal, they’re doing it right over there. So glad we chose this restaurant for my dad’s very special birthday. We were all very pleased and will definitely be back!"

"We are only disappointed that we did not find this GEM earlier during our trip. Stopped in for lunch and Robin took great care of us! We loved the food and decided to come back for dinner. Everything was excellent! We had the filet Oscar and grouper Oscar style and both were delicious! Definitely order the Brussels! Katie was a delight! The atmosphere is so cozy, unique and comfortable. Don’t hesitate—make a reservation!"

"We stopped in on a whim and didn’t know what to expect. Ron, our waiter was welcoming and funny! The filet was one of the best we have ever had! The grouper was delicious as was the shrimp and scallops. It is on the pricey side, but the quality of the food makes it worth while."

"This place rates a "Wow". Our server was Krindi & she's an amazing guide through the place's history, the menu & local stuff. The only thing close to a negative is that they don't do cocktails, just beer and wine [the white sangria is pretty fantastic]. Food is fantastic & the space is welcoming. Get a reservation for sure!"

"I ate at the bar alone tonight and Sara made it a stellar experience. She is super sweet! The food is really good, too. I had Brussels sprouts and the harvest salad. I added steak the salad and it was cooked perfectly to medium rare. The bread is delicious too! Super cute little restaurant. I’ve been coming to AMI for nearly 30 years and this is my first time here but not my last."
