Front Porch & Bart's Tavern

We love going for breakfast and recently discovered we love going on an evening for dinner, drinks and enjoying good music. We've never had a bad experience with the wait staff or food quality. We have lots of favorites for both breakfast and dinner - so hard to recommend just one. But, the smashed cauliflower side is to die for! So much so, that I asked for the ingredients and have tried making them at home! Sooo yummy. So many seating options too - the front porch area or inside with the a/c or down by the outside bar area. The porch is pet friendly as well.

The fun vibe is an old house with a wraparound porch that you can dine on outdoors. Inside is a bar with several tables for dining as well. This was a get together with family members that we haven't seen in over 20 years so that conversation with lots of fun! We ordered the sear tuna appetizer that was very good. The quesadilla came out too well done not enjoyable pass. Some of the family members ordered the meatloaf. They said it was very good. Salads very nice as well. I ordered the fish and chips the piece of fish was generous, but very greasy and all the fries were way overdone. This is a fun place decent food. Lots of great specials every day drink specials food specials, funky neighborhood of Seminole Heights

It was a rainy night so we ate inside but I am sure that eating on the porch would have been nice. Ordered the French onion soup, wings and calamari. All were very good and tasty. Calamari is cut and battered in house, very tender. They served it with marinara and an Asian type of sauce. Both had their own unique flavor so you will have to try them for your self. Wings were served with their house made blue cheese dressing which was also very good. Chloe was our server and she was fantastic. Attentive and quick to offer recommendations when we had questions. We are inside so it was a small area so we were by the bar. No complaints about where we sat, just keep that in mind if you plan on eating inside. Overall we had a great experience.

Sooo Front Porch has been on my list for some time, so I was happy to finally stop by for brunch. The restaurant, housed in a refurbished home, gives a cozy atmosphere. The staff were friendly and eager to assist us with the menu selection. Our food was tasty, and the mimosas were perfectly crafted. I highly recommend this spot for a return visit.Ordered:Florentine Benedict = Cooked to perfectionGrumpy's Belt = Delicious

Nice little spot! Our server was super friendly and offered good insight to help us make some decisions for our brunch meals. I went with the huevos rancheros and definitely enjoyed it, and for my cocktail of choice I went with Joffrey's martiniSeems like there's plenty of seating available both indoor and outdoor. They do offer daily specials as well which looked appealing to take advantage of if I do end up in the Seminole heights area again

Absolutely atrocious service on both occasions I've gone there. First time it took forever and the waitress was rude about everything. This time we waited about 15 minutes without even being offered coffee and left without ordering. I have no idea how anyone likes this place. Hands down my worst dining experience in Tampa Bay TWICE, and I eat out a lot. It takes a lot for me to leave a negative review, but this place has absolutely earned it!

Front Porch is a cute spot on Florida Ave that has a great outdoor seating area for those nice breezy days. I work up the road, so my group stopped here for a little birthday brunch before going in to work on a Sunday morning around 9:30. Just a few other groups. The staff all seem really friendly and makes it feel really personal and homey. We had Land serving us, and she was great :) There's a lot on the menu that I don't think you could wrong with, but I was in the mood for an omelette. I did a build your own, and I wasn't disappointed. They didn't skimp on what goes inside. The potato cakes were fun and delicious!! Cuban bread was dry with no butter, but can't complain. The other three I was with all enjoyed their orders too. There was only one mixup with one of the sides, but our server happily fixed it right away. Also, the price was really reasonable for 4 people. Overall, it's a good weekend brunch spot. I'll have to come back and try lunch/dinner sometime.

Jasmine makes a killer bloody Mary! Was having a rough day and her and Candee were a delight and made me smile!!! Will definitely return!!!

Food was delicious. Had the shrimp scampi and an old fashioned. Drinks were also good. Service was good. We were a party of 8 seated outside. There was smoke blowing into our direction. They moved us with no issues. Very accommodating for food allergies as well. Ambiance was clean and welcoming.

Love this fun and eclectic place. Food is always good and they are always busy. I have tried several things and loved them all.
