What customers say?

“ I've been to Porcini for dinner a few times and found the food innovative & delicious and the service impeccable. But I threw my first event there this past weekend (a bridal shower) and quite frankly I want to have all my events there moving forward. Why? --We did a Saturday afternoon and had the whole place to ourselves. --We did the Lunch Buffet, which not only was outstanding but the price was right. Their eggplant rollatini was epic and from the lemon artichoke chicken to the fresh veggies & rolls, our guests are still raving. --Chris & his staff were so professional & easy to work with. Rob took care of all twenty of us in the dining room and he was incredibly helpful & accommodating. --The Luncheon Buffet included a homemade cake which was terrific and a big hit with our guests. It was really wonderful. In short, Porcini was a 10 outta 10 experience for throwing an event and we were absolutely delighted with our experience there. Family owned, down-to-earth and delicious. The bride was as pleased as punch. I would definitely recommend Porcini for any type of shower or party. They were so lovely and made the day so special. ”

“ This restaurant is phenomenal!! Such a beautiful, romantic place with great food, music, and service. My Fiancé and I spent our anniversary here and loved every second! We were greeted by our amazing server Rob, he was very warm and welcoming. He gave incredible suggestions and was highly descriptive of all menu items. We knew the food would be great by the smell alone but my goodness these pasta dishes were perfection! Everything was so rich and flavorful, you could really tell the chefs take their time putting love into every single meal that leaves the kitchen. Photographed below is the Bucatini Nero, Wild Boar Bolognese, and a fall specialty desert; Pumpkin Cheesecake loaded with homemade caramel sauce!! To top it off, the Owner keeps the kitchen open to thank him and his wonderful chefs!! I will be recommending this place to everyone! ”

“ Four of us dined in for my husbands birthday. We had the homemade ricotta and crab cake to start. I had the spaghetti and meatballs and the other guests had the scallops, steak and pasta. Everything was outstanding and the homemade ricotta and homemade pasta just made it unbelievable. Kendall was our server and she helped make the special occasion perfect. Thank you. We will see you again soon. ”

“ Foodies: eat here. The menu features simple dishes, with absolutely beautiful details and perfectly executed. The day we went we enjoyed the carrot soup special which was made with a potato and leek base - creamy (without cream), tangy, delectable. I almost licked the bowl. We also had the eggplant rollatini special - came in a round tart dish, delicious. We ordered two different pastas which were cooked to perfection. And also the ceasar salad was delectable. Oh and - the olives they served with the complementary bread were amazing! I tasted orange zest! YUM. Service was impeccable from Rob the maitre D and his helper, the other server. I mentioned i drink a lot of water and the server never let my glass run dry. Amazingly attentive service. They let me go back and thank the chefs - that was a treat! We will definitely be back many times. Thank you! ”

“ This restaurant was absolutely amazing. It was my boyfriend’s and my 5 year anniversary, and we decided to come to this area. This restaurant had absolutely amazing service, as well as amazing food. Our server, Rob, was the sweetest, and he continuously checked on us to ensure that our experience was superb. The food was exquisite, while we enjoyed our meal outside. Overall, this restaurant was outstanding, and we ate definitely coming back! ”

“ This place feels like a home! John and Kendall and the rest of the team make this such a welcoming and enjoyable place to dine that you forget that you are in a public restaurant and not in your family’s dining room. The place is small yet cozy and comfortable. The food was delicious. They go above and beyond to ensure you are a satisfied customer. Great parking directly across the street. ”

“ Attended a communion celebration at this little restaurant tucked away on Bay Avenue in scenic Highlands. Was a lovely day, we were greeted by our waitress Vendal who helped us with decorating and getting everything set up. She took care of our every need through out the afternoon, making sure we had plenty of everything. She kept the buffet flowing and refreshed. We started out with antipasto accompanied by wonderful warm tasty bites of crusty garlic bread. Followed by a buffet of Garden salad, Quiche Lorraine, French toast, Chicken Franchise, Fettuccine Pomadoro, and fresh fruit salad!! Ended by salted caramel cake, coffee and tea for dessert! A lovely afternoon with family and friends filled with a nice atmosphere and wonderful food. A must to stop by and eat if you're ever in the area! Thank you Porcini! ”
