   Very lovely establishment. Service was great. We had biscuits, fries and salad. Brunch is not the best option for vegetarian/vegan diet but the dinner menu does offer pasta.

   Nice evening! Pretty loud once tables filled. Good food and the only disappointment was the carbonara. Dry and the pea purée was just not necessary. Regular peas are more the norm. Overall good and would go back for sure.

   Service was excellent, and the food was good, but it would not bring me back. Ceviche wasn't a real ceviche, was basically cocktail shrimp added to a citrus juice was very pretty. The Bah mi wasn't a real bah mi no cilantro, nothing really pickled but it was a delicious pork sandwich. The polenta was delicious and well done.

   My first visit to Westsiders was unremarkable. A friend had recommended this place, so my expectations were high. Our dinner began on a positive note as we were able to score a low table instead of a high table. The risotto appetizer was delicious, as were the complimentary chick peas, but that's where the good food ended. I ordered the perch dinner special and it arrived at our table lukewarm. The fries were cold, and the fish wasn't tasty. My friend's salmon looked good, but she commented that it was also lukewarm. There was no salt or pepper on the table and when the server remembered to bring them, the salt shaker was empty. I had a couple espresso martinis, which were mostly foam. I realize this restaurant recently opened and that the kinks probably are still being worked out, but I likely won't return. Over-priced, mediocre food.

   We had brunch here and loved the atmosphere and cocktails. The French toast sticks are a must have!!!! Disappointed with the biscuits and gravy, and the brunch burger was just alright. Looking forward to trying dinner here and more drinks!

   We started with the Charred Buffalo Wings, the Beet Tostada & the Whipped Ricotta with Sour Dough Bread. We split the Winter Greens Salad. For our entrees we had the Hokkaido Scallops & the Pasta Primavera with added Shrimp. Also enjoyed the Oaxacan Old Fashioned. Our Server, Marissa, was very attentive.

   Unique menu with great flavor and average-to-smaller portions. Most will be able to clean their plates. It was very difficult to hear each other talk - the music was too loud and there was no cloth decor, so it was a very 'live' acoustic space. Only 2 options for dessert. Went at 5:45pm with a reservation and it was already pretty packed - make a reservation! They advertise that they are not kid-friendly: no strollers allowed, no highchairs, no booster seats, no kid menu. It's not going to be a place that I'll go to all the time, but it's worth trying it out with people who have excellent hearing.

    This was our first time. We’re a group of ladies who go to brunch every 6 weeks. This time there were 6 of us. We had 5 different breakfasts. They were all delicious. Our waitress was attentive but not hovering. It was quiet enough that we could converse as a group and hear the entire conversation. The restaurant was very clean. We enjoyed ourselves immensely and will put Westsiders back in our rotation.
