The Porch Restaurant: seasonal cuisine in a historic house in Anna Maria

The Porch Restaurant is a restaurant located in Anna Maria, Florida, operating inside one of the first residences built on the island. The establishment combines its culinary offering with a heritage setting, as described in its own presentation. It opened its doors on July 2, 2021, and since then has maintained a constant search for new items on its menu.

Culinary offering

The restaurant's offering includes signature dishes, seasonal entrées, specialty spritzers, top-quality steak cuts, and fresh fish. The menu is complemented by a wide selection of beers and wines. The kitchen defines itself as a "scratch kitchen," meaning made from scratch using base ingredients, with fresh products brought in daily and prepared specifically for each service.

Services and meal times

The restaurant offers lunch and dinner service, with differentiated menus for each, plus a kids' menu. Lunch is described as casual, while dinner has a more formal character. The business also has a dessert menu that, according to its communication, aims to be a highlight of the experience.

The establishment offers Happy Hour seven days a week, with discounts on wines by the glass and selected draft beers. Wines by the glass are 50% off, whether purchased by the glass or by the bottle.
