Westsiders

We visited Westsiders last night during their dinner rush, and the place was buzzing with activity. Despite the crowd, we were seated promptly, which was a pleasant surprise. The bar staff provided fast and courteous service, and our food arrived quickly. A major highlight was my girlfriend’s salmon—she described it as bright, extremely flavorful, and cooked to perfection. She absolutely loved it. My sandwich (Bánh mì), on the other hand, was a bit of a letdown. While the bread was toasted perfectly, the pork lacked flavor and felt under-seasoned. The sauce was also underwhelming, and I couldn’t tell if the issue was the lack of flavor or just not enough sauce. I spent some time pondering this but couldn’t quite figure it out. Our cocktails were a strong point—her swizzle and my punch were both very good, though the punch portion seemed a bit small. The low point of the evening, and the main reason for the three-star rating (outside of the sandwich) was a bartender misstep. I ordered a beer when asked if I wanted another drink, but the bartender took away my cocktail, which still had a few sips left. A little bartender etiquette, like asking if I was finished, would’ve gone a long way. The staff was extremely friendly and in great spirits, even under the pressure of a packed house, which we really appreciated. My girlfriend is gluten-free, so the menu worked well for her, and we might return for that reason. If we do, I’ll update this review based on our next experience. For two entrées, two cocktails, and a beer, the bill came to $95, so expect to spend at least $100 for two if you’re dining here for dinner. Overall, a mixed experience with some highs and lows.

Tired of the same old restaurants? Fun and interesting cocktails and food with lots of interesting flavors and choices. Very friendly and great service too. Vegan and gluten free options aplenty!

I went with 3 other people on Wednesday night and had the best server Grace! She was polite and attentive The chef Chris's food is wonderful. I recommend the ricotta appetizer, smooth and delicious. The new smashburger was ordered by 2 of us and we both said the best burger ever even on a Gluten free bun( which I can say they do not even taste GF). The staff was so polite ..would recommend seating in the booths much more privacy then the long tables. A 5 star experience don't wait to experience the beauty of this place.
