The B Side, our neighborhood joint situated next door to Red Apron at Mosaic, is an amalgamation of all the things we love the most: crazy good food prepared simply; way too many wines; stiff drinks made by pros who know how to make them; a mind-boggling beer list; killer tunes on the turntable and a scene that has no patience for pretense. This is B Side.

    Arriving on time for our reservation, our party was greeted promptly and seated quickly. Our server ensured our evening was a pleasure with his courteous, friendly and knowledgeable attentions. We started with a round of cocktails and appetisers -- Confit Tomato and Korean Fried Wings. -- switched to beer and wine with dinner, one burger, one ribs, two steak frites. All the food was good, some of it was great! An excellent night out at a welcoming bar/brassiere that we will most definitely come back to!

    Food and drink - exceptional!! Service - horrid! Hubby and I went with another couple. Order apps of blistered Brussel sprouts and wings. Both were really good. For dinner the guys had smash burgers, I had the steak frites and friend had Italian hoagie. We all loved our entrees and the fries - cooked in beef fat - to DIE for!! Craft cocktails also exceptionally good BUT it took an unusually long time to get them. Like after our apps arrived! I ordered a second cocktail which took so long to arrive I finally got up and asked! We will definitely go back but will sit at the bar… those folks definitely got their drinks faster!! (Another note…. I’m gluten intolerant and there weren’t many options. Was able to find something delicious but not a great place if you want a lot of GF options)

    Good meal at B Side. Pretty empty restaurant, so seating was easy. Drinks were good, food was good. Only downside was that the food was served too quickly. We would have appreciated a bit more time to enjoy our cocktails.
