We have another new writer starting with us this week, SFist Christina. She's going to be doing sort of a jack-of-all-trades thing for us, starting off with this restaurant review. So, please welcome SFist Christina.

Every review we’ve read of Front Porch mentions the 45-minute wait, if you want to beat the crowds we suggest showing up on a Monday night before 7. About a half an hour after we had been seated the place started to fill up. There's something about the atmosphere of Front Porch that pairs nicely with a rainy night. We liked having to leave our umbrellas in the little metal bin right outside the front door. A note to anyone who goes there when it’s raining: if you are wearing high heels of any kind, walk very slowly on the red and black-checkered linoleum floor.
