“Upscale food and intimate outdoor atmosphere”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 11, 2012

Everything was unique and delicious. Nice wine selection, but they were out of the advertised wine special. Crab ravioli appetizer was very good, would go back just for that.

“Fabulous Food”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 23, 2012

Expertly prepared organic produce, eating all of the colors of the rainbow plus excellent hazelnut creme brulee for desert. I will definitely recommend this place to my friends. If there is only one restaurant that you have a chance to eat in for lunch, go here! Friendly staff who know the menu.

“Great food & service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 20, 2012

All four of us opted for the 3 course fixed price menu and we all loved every course. I had sweetbreads for the first time and fell in love. My boyfriend had octopus appetizer and it was by far the best prepared octopus I've had. Our waitress was very attentive and helpful with choosing our meals. My boyfriend also go the table side coffee and that was a show in itself. I would definitely go back again and again.

“Loved the food, service, and atmosphere”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 20, 2012

We three friends on a beach vacation wanted an evening of fine food and relaxation. The Back Porch Cafe provided a cozy atmosphere conducive to conversation. We were looking for exceptional food with imagination. One of our group is vegetarian and was delighted with the eggplant/mushroom entree and the cucumber vodka/melon martini. The salmon entree was a hit with the other friends. The special house Amaretto coffee prepared tableside was delectable and the server provided entertainment which prompted other tables to order the same. We went on a Tuesday evening in the off season and would definitely return. Food, service, atmosphere, all flawless. A destination restaurant.
