    This was my first time at B side and it will be my last. The service was probably the worst service I have had in quite some time. They were very delayed in getting drinks and food to our table. When the drinks finally came they didn’t taste as though there were alcohol in either drink. They forgot to bring our appetizer out and and although one waitress apologized and noted they would take it off our bill the other waitress stated she didn’t know we wanted it as an appetizer even thought te oysters were appetizers. The food wasn’t cold but also wasn’t hot. They forgot to bring out my son’s drink and really had no apologies for the experience and in the end didn’t take the oysters off the bill. Not a cheap place range she sure, so overall felt a lot of regret spending Father’s Day there. Won’t be going back.

    Fantastic meal! We ordered several apps, including the baos. All delicious. Everyone enjoyed their mains as well. The Brisket mac and cheese was yummy and very filling. I also loved that everything was made in house. Bonus, you could hear your dinner mates as noise level was low. We’ll definitely be back and I highly recommend.
