Porch Restaurant

They have two options.  Fine dining upstairs and casual dining downstairs (in the pub).  I ate downstairs and it's my understanding the quality and selection is the same.  The difference between the crab cake entrees from the two menus is upstairs is two cakes downstairs is one cake.

Downstairs is the pub so the ambiance is reflective.  Your at a table, there are patrons at the bar and two tv's on so it's a little loud but it's not overwhelming.  It's what you should expect eating casually at a bar.  

First the beer list.  Excellent by my standards.  Four pages, American, English, German, Belgian etc.  Some selections were Duchesse De Bourgoune, Chimay blue, Chimay Red, 6 different Trappists, monks cafe sour ale, founders breakfast and a plethora of IPA's which I don't like so didn't commit to memory.  One was some very expensive Alaskan IPA's.  It's a very wide selection.  I was pleased.  

I ordered the crab cakes, which was served with a veggie of the day and a beurre blanc sauce served over farfaline pasta.  The crab cakes were fantastic.  The farfaline was a little scant and veggie if the day was peas.  Overall the meal was expensive but equally delicious.  I will be back on more than one occasion.  

If your in the myerstown area and want good food.  Come here and eat.

You get what you pay for.  I wish this place and the (westy) west hamburg tavern would change places.

I'm giving this five stars.  I'm sure there are michelan star establishments out there that top this food by far but I have not eaten at them.  Therefore based on beer, food, price and service.  Bam!  5 STARS.

This is truly, the best in the area. If you're looking for a great meal, service and overall dining experience, Porch is the place to go. Fresh menu with a staff that pays attention to detail.

Just realized that there was another yelp link to review this place.

(From previous review)
Had some food here with the bf the other night while we were in town.
It was recommended by the innkeeper at the Cornwall Inn. We called the place a few time to find out what time they closed. They have a fine dining upstairs and a more casual dining downstairs.

We unfortunately got there when they stopped serving regular food (we called twice- first guy told us they are open until 2 and the second guy told us until 12). Neither one mentioned that they stop serving dinner food and only serve bar food after a certain time. Had we known, we would've made it for the regular food.

Still we got mozzarella sticks, truffle fries and a sticky bun ice cream. Each item $6 while pretty good not worth the price. The waitress who was also the bartender was very nice. I would come back just to try it again during normal food hours and will update if I do.
