I was very excited to try out Porch+Vine and my expectations were met with amazing results!
Food I ordered the butternut squash with chèvre mousse, and Brussels sprouts as sides. They were a delightful surprise! I wanted to be a little adventurous with the butternut squash, which I ended up devouring because the mousse added a nice contrast between the sweet and nutty squash and the creamy and tangy goat cheese. For the entree, I had the short ribs. I love short ribs, but I'm not a fan of making them myself. I'm glad Porch + Vine had it on the menu, and I was really interested. It was fall-apart tender and the rich sauce complemented the mushrooms and crispy onions perfect. I decimated it, happily. There were no survivors.
Service Aside from the food (drool), I have high praise for the staff as well. They were attentive and the service was excellent! I met the bartender before I got seated and she was welcoming and friendly. My server happily helped give some recommendations and made sure we were well taken care of. I even got a chance to meet the owner, who made sure everything was top notch!
Pricing Dinner is (aptly) priced for an fine dining experience that you'll have every so often. The sharable sides can be pretty generous. I got an appetizer as well, but maybe I'll get extra sides if I'm feeling especially hungry in the future. It's definitely worth the experience and quality, but I also glanced at the brunch menu and got pretty curious. I'll probably bring my friends over for brunch whenever I can!
I definitely recommend visiting this place; it has a warm and cozy atmosphere with...
Read moreFrom the moment I stepped into Porch & Vine in Luray, I knew it was going to be special — and it absolutely exceeded every expectation. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with the kind of small-town charm that instantly makes you feel at home. I started the evening with a glass of rosé, perfectly chilled and beautifully balanced — crisp, light, and just the right amount of sweetness. It set the tone for what became one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in Virginia. The bacon-wrapped dates were the perfect appetizer — sweet, smoky, and savory all at once. Then came the chicken roulade, which was cooked to absolute perfection — tender, flavorful, and elegantly presented. The Brussels sprouts on the side were caramelized just right, adding a delicious crunch and depth of flavor that tied everything together. And just when I thought the evening couldn’t get any better, dessert arrived — a pineapple upside-down cake that was pure nostalgia and comfort on a plate. Moist, buttery, and topped with the perfect caramelized pineapple — it was the ideal way to end the night. Porch & Vine is everything you want in a dining experience — exceptional food, great wine, and an atmosphere that feels both elevated and welcoming. A true five-star experience — I can’t wait to...
