I was really looking forward to trying sidecar as my husband has been wanting to go since February. Finally I got around to make reservations and off we went. I called ahead because I was running 15 mins late and the man on the phone said it was no problem.
When we got there, they seated us inside. I heard they have a great patio and because it was such a beautiful day outside, I asked if we can get a seat outside. But they were fully booked. Which is fine but the waitress that seated us made a comment about priority to people with a reservation but I did, so that turned me off cause she has an attitude. Lucky she wasn't our waitress for the night cause the other girl was really nice. We inquired with the floor manager about the seat outside and he said the same but I guess he saw how disappointed I looked that he offered us champagne. The staff overall was friendly except for the one girl.
The decorations was also really nice. I liked t exposed brick. The ambiance is warm and would be great for a date night.
We ordered the crab cake. They were large but the inside was too wet. It was served with a basic aioli sauce. It tasted good just needed to cook a little longer. I got the scallops for my main that came with a parsnip mash. There was a creamy drizzle on the scallops and it was delicious. The meal was light and perfect for what I wanted. Also, the waitress recommended the dish. Dave got the crusted lamb. His own was also very good. It was more on the rare side when he ordered it medium rare but he didn't mind and it still tasted good.
The food overall was good. Nothing really wowed me but I wouldn't hesitate to come back either.
Next time I'll be sure to request a patio seat when I make my reservations.
