On 12/21/2024, me and my husband were seated against the wall at a high table for two. The table was super small and the bar seats were very uncomfortable. The bar seat felt as if you had to brace yourself so you would not slide down. I went and asked the host could we sit at a lower table. I could tell she had an attitude due to the look on her face. She said to me, I can move yall but you can only sit there for a hour and a half. The nerve of her to sound so rude!!!!! If yall want people to enjoy themselves hell allow them to sit comfortably. As for the food after being seated at a table comfortably, I give it a 1000/10.

If you wish for a fine dining experience, I would highly recommend Porch and Parlor. The food and presentation is incredible. The wait staff is always friendly and on-point. Always arriving at just the right time, but not so much that it interrupts your meal. Our waitress last night, Esther, was incredible and made our overall experience so enjoyable. If you're looking for a place for that special occasion, or just a date night with the significant other, you won't be disappointed I promise you. It is our go-to for when we want to splurge on a great meal with a great experience. Would highly recommend if you have never eaten there.

12/20/24 me and my girlfriends had our annual Christmas gathering and we choose to have a dinner setting this year and Itta Bena was on my TOP list to try something different with the ambience. The food was AMAZING!!! It was so good and quality worth. I had the stuff shrimp for appetizer and my entree was the Tomahawk Pork Chop with sweet potatoes and brussels sprout and it was soooo good and plenty. I also had a glass of Merlot with Beringer being the maker and it was good as well. WE tried the short ribs, chicken and lamb chops also and they were pleasantly pleased as well. Definitely will be going back and our server i think her name "Jackie"? she was fantastic....

We celebrated my son’s 20th birthday there and it was terrific! We go a few times a year but each time we go it’s always a great experience. We had amazing service, the salad bar is so good and plentiful. We always enjoy all the meats and the atmosphere is always great! Highly recommended. We have been coming for years and it never disappoints!

The concept of this restaurant is fantastic if you’re one that usually can’t make up your mind on what to eat. Little plates are served and nicely presented. Also wine or whiskey comes in flights. You can close as many as you would like but 3 is a good choice. Unfortunately, we didn’t have room for dessert but we’ll be back next time we are in the area. Such a great variety of meats and they had my favorite dish: chicken and waffles. The chicken was sooo tender! Everything was delicious and the service from Reece was impeccable.
