White Porch Gallery

Came here on Saturday night for some drinks and dinner with a group of good friends. What a cool way to spend the evening.
Ambiance: Very sexy lightning, incredible art, awesome DJ. A very unsuspecting location, you would never know it was there unless you knew what to look for. Inside is a great lounge /​Bar area where you can grab drinks, look at the art and just chill. I found the art to be breathtaking.
Seating– both indoor and outdoor. Huge open patio, with lots tables and great art on the walls outdoors as well.
Service —was fantastic, our waiter (Marella?) gave us several recommendations, was very pleasant/​attentive and never left us lingering. The rest of the staff was fantastic, the hostess was very sweet, the other servers were constantly refilling our drinks and water. I find service in Miami is very slow, but the White Porch definitely changed my opinion on that.
Food: Overall the food was very tasty. Lots of great options to share. I can’t wait to go back and try some additional items.
We had:
Apps:
Duck Egg Rolls —nice sauce, very tender
Lobster Clam Chowder —great big pieces of lobster, only complaint was I wish it had a bit more spice.
Entrée:
Short Ribs –super tender, meat melted in your mouth, the potatoes were incredible.
Seafood Coconut Curry –Incredible, like a paella but with the rice on the side, the curry had the most amazing flavor, the seafood was perfectly cooked
Falafel –huge portion, nice spice to the dish.
Loved that they offer ½ portions on almost all of the dishes. A great place to share with a group or a date.
Drinks —nice, very well priced wine bottles, house cocktails were vary tasty.
Parking —I would say valet or park as close as possible, the art neighborhood is still one of the up and coming spots, so a tad sketchy.
This place is truly a unique spot and I would highly recommend it. A great spot for guests visiting from out of town, a date or a night out with friends.
