Evanston Lunch Group™ 9/3 12:30 The Porch at Wayfair
-
Post #1 - August 19th, 2024, 4:19 pmWayfair, the "online department store", recently opened their first bricks-and-mortar location, in Edens Plaza in Wilmette. Inside the store, they opened a restaurant, called The Porch at Wayfair. That's where we're going in September! They offer indoor as well as outdoor dining, so we'll get seated wherever it makes sense. I haven't found much (i.e. any
) information about the restaurant on their website, other than a brief mention on the Wayfair Wilmette website.
As always, all are welcome to join us! If possible, please post a note if you're planning to attend, so that we can grab the appropriate size table for the group.
The Porch at Wayfair
3232 Lake Ave
Wilmette, IL 60091

Post #12 - August 30th, 2024, 6:25 pmFor those who haven't been to the Wayfair store, there is a dinnerware section in the first floor middle visible from the restaurant. The cookware, gadgets etc department is upstairs. Worth a quick look - quality is in the Kohls or Homegoods range with slightly higher prices. As far as I could tell it's ok to shop with a drink.

Post #16 - September 3rd, 2024, 9:56 amHi,
Did not divert to Kansas. I did drive about 1400 miles since Saturday morning. Just cannot muscle up the enthusiasm to drive anywhere presently.
I will miss your company, but my Mom will be glad to have mine.
Have fun!
Regards,

Post #21 - September 5th, 2024, 7:55 amOur little group shared 2 of the 4 sandwich offerings but they were out of my favorite. What we ordered is in nsxtasy’s post on The Porch thread.
Several weeks ago I was able to enjoy their Chipotle Chicken Melt and can recommend that. It had a freshly grilled chicken breast, pepper Jack cheese, pickled peppers, arugula and chipolte aioli on grilled country bread. Accompanied by their very good “homemade”(?)potato chips, it’s a satisfying choice with lots of flavor.
