I'd heard so many good things about Sidecar over the years but I'd never gotten a chance to check it out till a month ago when their sign of "Negroni Slushies" lured us in for an early dinner during the Taste of Little Italy. Overall, while the Negroni Slushies lived up to their name and were strong, the food and overall ambiance left us feeling a little underwhelmed. Perhaps I had built this place up a little too much in my head.
After having quite a long day of eating I wasn't too hungry, so I settled just for their sidecar salad and it ended up being just OK. I must say that for such a nice looking restaurant with a good reputation, their food prices were not too high, I won't mind giving them a second chance in the future when I'm feeling a bit more hungry, but I won't be rushing back to them.
A slight note against them is that they serve some fancy water so there is a $1 charge on that, I guess the water tasted good? But I would have been happy with just some tap water. Leave the fancy water for the people that actually want it.
