What User likes about The Front Porch:
The front Porch/Evening Star Cafe is a beautiful area. The terrace extends behind the building, so there are plenty of seating. Our order was placed and paid via our phones (no servers take physical orders), which was quite cool. The drinks and food came out immediately after the order. The food was not excellent, but solid. I'd go back alone for the atmosphere. View all feedback. What User doesn't like about The Front Porch:
Great location in the heart of Del Ray. Some good wines. Hit and miss food. I'm writing the review because of a salad we ordered with chicken as the protein. The chicken on this salad looked like a crostini. It had been cooked, microwave and doused with gamma rays. See pic. Come on, Front Porch. I live in Del Ray and appreciate our great non-chain restaurants. But if you're going to serve an expensive salad, at least... View all feedback.

Drinks took about 3 weeks to get to two people. Must have gone through the Oregon trail or something. Food and atmosphere were excellent.

We had Sam as our server and he was absolutely LOVELY! He made some great recommendations for us, since we were out-of-town guests with no idea what to try.

My wife and I met old friends for dinner. Great drinks and delicious food. The atmosphere open air dining on the back porch is what will bring me back.
