Unlike so many places where the country pâté looks and taste like spam, the Porch’s pâté is  every bit like something I would be treated to in France. My friend who ordered the goat cheese soufflé as a hors d’œuvre pronounced it delectable. The sea scallops the 3 of us ordered as an entree were scrumptious, and our waiter (Charley) bent over backwards for us. I cannot wait to get back to the Porch either for lunch or dinner–preferably both!

All of Florida and many states to follow are no smoking, the Porch is just being progressive.

We had wonderful lunch. We will be back for dinner. The couch area is a good place to hang out with friends.

Sat, 01 Oct 2011 14:19:00 +0000 http://www.foodiebuddha.com/2011/08/30/the-porch-at-collier-openings/#comment-8538 The Porch at Collier is a really nice upscale restaurant and bar and is giving the area a much needed new place to gather with their friends. The food is really very good too.  Everyone needs to support them so they will be around for us. So many places come and go!  Remember your first job when you had to be trained and then became comfortable in what you were doing, so do the people at the Porch. It is a new place and it will get better each day as the people working there become comfortable with their customers. Give them a chance!  As for the smoking, thank goodness they do not allow it.  I am so tired of going in some of the places around the area and it looks like a fire is happening inside with all the smoke!  Thank you owners for standing your ground on that issue.
