The Porch at Schenley: Take Two (Oakland)

I had lunch at The Porch at Schenley in Oakland some time ago and had been meaning to return for dinner.  I finally did earlier in the fall, meeting up with my hubby for a quick weeknight date.  Even though it was a weeknight, I was surprised by how lively the restaurant was!

R. had arrived earlier and was munching on some cornbread while he waited.  For his entree, he ordered a veggie burger which he said was great.  I decided to get the Pan Seared Diver Scallops, which I was told by the server were the largest scallops I would have ever seen - and he was correct.  The scallops were served with red pumpkin curry, coriander creme, fennel, and pumpkin seeds.  It was not only interesting but tasty.  Truth be told, it actually exceeded my expectations.  Can't wait to come back again!
