Hi, I am supposed to take someone to dinner at one of these restaurants next week. We live about equal distance from both so if anyone who has eaten at both could offer an opinion as to one standing out above the other in terms of food, service, atmosphere, etc. thanks very much.

Welcome newbie! I have been to the Front Porch several times and have never been disappointed. I cannot speak of the other place. Best of luck to you and let us know where you decided. :smile:

I live within walking distance to westlawn, and I would drive to front porch vs. westlawn. westlawn is very pricey and mediocre.

Front Porch. I'm essentially in the middle of both places and it's Front Porch hands down. I recommend the Shrimp and Grits. Mmmmm. Might need to talk the wifey into heading that way this evening in fact. Sit outside under the sun sails.

Where is this Front Porch you speak of located?

Darwin was right
If you are in between the two then you best bet would be to go the Lighthouse on Solomons Island or one of the other fine places there like the CD Cafe. The Front Porch is only mediocre at best and I've never been to the place a North Beach.

Speaking of Solomon's, I have been to Island Hideaway twice and it was really good. Nice and relaxed place and waterfront.

I had lunch at the Front Porch yesterday. It was delish! :drool:

I wonder what the OP decided on?

Thank you for the helpful replies and the suggestions about the places in Solomons. This person has their heart set and stomach too I guess on trying the Westlawn or the Front Porch. I'll let you all know how it went.

Man, I'm still here !!!
Just an FYI on West Lawn, they have music there on Friday and Saturdays. I can get kinda loud for conversations, if thats what you want to do, have a nice intimate dinner....

Well, you've been counseled about the Westlawn. Three smallish scallops on a bed of blanched kale with a side of four squash strips for $29.
