If I could write a better review, I would! The Back Porch is an excellent restaurant from the food, to the ambiance, to the staff. We had Ijohn as our server and she was attentive, knowledgeable, witty, and friendly! We ordered drinks, appetizers, entrees and one dessert to celebrate a Birthday. First, I will discuss one of the signature cocktails called the Lemon Basil Martini. We were a group of five and three of us ordered that drink. It was likely the best drink several of us had ever tasted. For appetizers, we ordered a variety of salads, the sweetbread, and the crab ravioli. Every single dish was fresh and absolutely delicious. I could have eaten the golden beet salad as a meal. Several others in our group loved the sweetbread but you must be adventurous to try that! For Entrees,

Ten of us were lucky enough to get a Sunday brunch reservation. It took a few minutes for service to catch up to us, but it was very good following. Most of us started with tea, coffee, mimosas, or a bloody Mary. Plentiful bowls of assorted breads and scones were brought out while we waited for our mains. I refrained from eating half of them, they were that good. Now this is on me, but I was hungover, and just wanted eggs over easy, bacon, and toast, but the menu was more dignified than I, so I ordered a gruyere cheese omelet, which was good but too salty for me. My wife's dish was also salty. Generally everyone was more than happy with the brunch, and I would be more than happy to return. Cheers!

The Back Porch is wonderful with delicious food and cocktails. We were a large group 20+ and they sat us at several tables on the patio. The server Dee was very professional and attentive. Each one of our party raised about the food. They are only open Thursday to Sunday so plan accordingly to enjoy this wonderful restaurant. Be sure to order the flaming coffee cocktail!

Had a lovely dinner there last Friday night with a friend. We shared the ravioli appetizer, delicate and delicious! Enjoyed the scallops for my main course, and my friend had the lobster linguine, also very delicious! I also enjoyed the lemon lemon basil cocktail immensely. We ended our meal with a flaming coffee, what a great ending to a wonderful meal! And our server, I forgot her name, was very attentive, Sweet, and knowledgeable! 😀

We loved our dinner at The Back Porch Cafe! The food, service and ambiance were all a 10/10. We were lucky to get a corner table up on the second floor deck which feels like you’re up in an elegant treehouse. The cocktails were delicious, all three of our entrees were magnificent, and our server was wonderful. Highly recommend a visit to this place while you’re in Rehoboth!
